I analyzed the L2 and L3 edge of AuCu nanoparticles using Au foil as a reference for Au nanoparticle. My Au NP intensity is higher than Au foil. Why?

For L2 and L3 edge analysis of Au from AuCu alloy the intensity of my Au nano-particle is higher than the reference (Au foil) it is a little strange for me. Any one reason out this case? Thanks a lot!

Yuri Mirgorod Popular answer

Remove PVP by dissolving it in water. Add water and centrifuge the nanoparticles until the PVP is removed.

I recommend Yuri answer. but if u remove PVP the nanoparticles will starts aggregating.

THANK YOU DEAR YURI MIRGOROD AND ARUN KARTHICK!!

Since PVA is water soluble it is advisable to wash you particle with water 3-4 times.
