The deposit patterns obtained from the evaporation of drops containing insoluble solute particles are vital for several technologies, including inkjet printing and optical and electronic device manufacturing. In this work, we consider the evaporation of an aqueous reaction mixture typically used for gold nanoparticle (AuNP) synthesis. The patterns obtained from the evaporation-driven assembly of in situ generated AuNPs are studied using optical microscopy and SEM analyses. The evaporation of drops withdrawn at different reaction times is found to significantly influence the distribution of AuNPs in the dried patterns. The evolution of the deposit patterns is also explored by drying multiple drops on the solid substrate, wherein a drop of a fresh reaction mixture is introduced over the deposit pattern left by the evaporation of the drop dispensed at an earlier time. Using quantitative image analysis, we show that the interparticle separation between the AuNPs in the dried patterns left on the solid substrate decreases when the number of drops is increased. We find optimal conditions to achieve solid-supported AuNP films, wherein the particles are in close physical contact, leading to a conducting deposit. The current through the AuNP deposit is found to increase with increase in the number of drops due to evaporation-driven self-assembly of AuNPs into branch-like structures with reduced interparticle separation. In addition, we also show that it is possible to produce conducting AuNP deposits by drying multiple drops withdrawn from the same reaction mixture. The evaporation-driven assembly of the in situ grown nanoparticles from a reaction mixture presented in this work can be further exploited in optical and electronic device fabrication.
