Preparation of a new core-shell Ag@SiO2 nanocomposite and its application for fluorescence enhancement

Ag@SiO₂ nanoparticles with different shell thicknesses were synthesized via modified Stöber method. Rhodamine B isothiocyanate was covalently bound onto the surface of Ag@SiO₂ nanoparticles to form fluorescent core-shell Ag@SiO₂ nanocomposites. Effects of shell thickness on the fluorescence enhancement were examined using the corresponding nanobubbles prepared by cyanide etching as a control. The result showed that the fluorescence enhanced as the shell thickness increased till the distance between fluorophore and metal core reached about 75 nm with the optimal enhancement factor of ∼5-folds. Further increasing of fluorophore-metal distance caused a decrease in the enhancement factor.     

Fluorescence Enhancement of IgG-FITC Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance of Ag@SiO2 Nanoparticles as Application of Biomarker

Ag@SiO₂ nanoparticles with the core-shell structure have been prepared, of which the silver core was about 50 nm and the thickness of silica shell was approximately 10 nm. In slightly alkaline aqueous solution (pH = 8), through electrostatic force between cationic polymer PDDA (i.e., poly-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and the obtained Ag@SiO₂ nanoparticles, PDDA molecules were fixed on the surface of Ag@SiO₂ nanoparticles. The prepared Ag@SiO₂/PDDA nanoparticles have both rich positive surface charges and rich micro-holes of silica shell. Based on micro-hole adsorption, the small molecule FITC (i.e., fluorescein isothiocyanate) marking on IgG (i.e., immunoglobulin) was adsorbed into the rich microholes of silica shell; at the same time, the negatively charge macromolecule IgG marked by FITC was firmly fixed on the rich positive charges surface of Ag@SiO₂/PDDA nanoparticles by electrostatic interaction. And then, Ag@SiO₂/PDDA/IgG-FITC fluorescent nanoparticles with the SPR fluorescence enhancement were prepared. The shell-type SiO₂/PDDA/IgG-FITC nanoparticles were obtained by dissolving the silver core in the prepared core-shell Ag@SiO₂/PDDA/IgG-FITC nanoparticles by using H₂O₂. Compared with the shell-type nanoparticles, the fluorescence intensity of Ag@SiO₂/PDDA/IgG-FITC was enhanced 1.7 times. The prepared Ag@SiO₂/PDDA/IgG-FITC nanoparticles have both SPR-based fluorescence enhancement ability and the surface distributing IgG–based obvious advantages including good biocompatibility and easy marking with other biomolecules.

Synthesis of Au/SnO2 core-shell structure nanoparticles by a microwave-assisted method and their optical properties

Au/SnO₂ core-shell structure nanoparticles were synthesized using the microwave hydrothermal method. The optical and morphological properties of these particles were examined and compared with those obtained by the conventional hydrothermal method. In microwave preparation, the peak position of the UV-visible plasmon absorption band of Au nanoparticles was red-shifted from 520 to 543 nm, due to the formation of an SnO₂ shell. An SnO₂ shell formation was complete within 5 min. The thickness of the SnO₂ shell was 10-12 nm, and the primary particle size of SnO₂ crystallites was 3-5 nm. For the core-shell particles prepared by a conventional hydrothermal method, the shell formed over the entire synthesis period and was not as crystalline as those produced, using the microwave method. The relationship between the morphological and spectroscopic properties and the crystallinity of the SnO₂ shell are discussed.     

Design of Silica@Au Hybrid Nanostars for Enhanced SERS and Photothermal Effect

Core-shell nanostructures of silicon oxide@noble metal have drawn a lot of interest due to their distinctive characteristics and minimal toxicity with remarkable biocompatibility. Due to the unique property of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), plasmonic nanoparticles are being used as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based detection of pollutants and photothermal (PT) agents in cancer therapy. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of multifunctional silica core – Au nanostars shell (SiO₂@Au NSs) nanostructures using surfactant free aqueous phase method. The SERS performance of the as-synthesized anisotropic core-shell NSs was examined using Rhodamine B (RhB) dye as a Raman probe and resulted in strong enhancement factor of 1.37×10⁶. Furthermore, SiO₂@Au NSs were also employed for PT killing of breast cancer cells and they exhibited a concentration-dependent increase in the photothermal effect. The SiO₂@Au NSs show remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 72 % which is unprecedented. As an outcome, our synthesized NIR active SiO₂@Au NSs are of pivotal importance to have their dual applications in SERS enhancement and PT effect.
