采用金-铜共混法制备了金纳米棒,研究了铜离子存在下金纳米棒的等离子体共振吸收及形貌的变化.通过调节反应中铜离子的加入量及晶体生长过程中各反应参数,使金纳米棒复合纳米材料的形貌、长径比和光学性质得到有效控制.比较了纯金纳米棒与掺入铜的金纳米棒的光热转换性能和拉曼光谱的增强性能.结果表明,铜离子的掺杂可以有效控制金纳米棒的生长以及金纳米棒的形貌.加入铜离子的金纳米棒的光热转换效率明显低于单纯的金纳米棒,但是铜掺杂的金纳米棒在被用作拉曼基底时,表面增强拉曼性质却优于纯金纳米棒.     

Au-Ag合金纳米粒子制备及其表面增强拉曼光谱研究

首先采用柠檬酸钠法制得Au-Ag合金纳米种子, 然后采用盐酸羟胺生长法得到不同组成的Au-Ag合金纳米粒子. 在其UV-Vis光谱中只观察到一个位于单金属银和金之间的等离子体共振峰, 表明Au-Ag合金纳米粒子已经形成. TEM结果表明, 合金纳米粒子的粒径约为60 nm, 且颜色均一, 没有明显的核壳结构. 用苯硫酚(TP)作为探针分子研究了合金纳米粒子的表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS). 结果表明, SERS强度与合金纳米粒子的组成和尺寸有关. 当纳米粒子粒径一定时, 除Au25Ag75外, 随着金的增加SERS强度增强. Au25Ag75的粒径比Ag小, 导致SERS强度比Ag低. Au50Ag50和Au75Ag25加入TP分子后, 其聚集方式与Au相似, 等离子体共振峰逐渐靠近1064 nm, 金含量较高时, TP的SERS归于聚集体的等离子体共振增强的贡献.     

密度泛函理论及光谱对CuCl2溶液中微团簇的研究

利用密度泛函理论和拉曼光谱对氯化铜溶液第一溶剂化层中的微团簇进行了研究。采用B3LYP方法对溶液中可能存在的团簇构型进行优化,从动力学和热力学方面分析得出溶液中团簇结构信息。理论拉曼光谱在100~500 cm~(-1)主要为Cu—O的伸缩振动峰,3400~4000 cm~(-1)范围内为O—H的对称和不对称伸缩振动。实验光谱在200~340 cm~(-1)出现明显新峰,位于2500~4000 cm-1的O—H伸缩振动峰随着溶液浓度的增加,峰的强度逐渐减小,峰形有明显变化。实验光谱和理论光谱验证和比对,表明溶液的实验光谱中产生的新峰为Cu—O振动,CuCl_2水溶液中产生短程离子相互作用及溶剂化现象,且随着溶液浓度的增加,溶剂化数目减小。     

SERS标记的金纳米棒探针用于免疫检测

报道了基于金纳米棒表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)的免疫检测. 将拉曼活性分子对巯基苯甲酸吸附于金纳米棒表面, 制备出SERS标记的金纳米棒探针. 该探针和蛋白抗体结合形成SERS标记抗体. 通过SERS标记抗体、待测抗原和俘获抗体(固体基底上修饰的抗体, 即俘获抗体)之间的免疫应答反应, 将金纳米棒探针组装到固体基底上, 形成SERS标记抗体-抗原-俘获抗体 “三明治”夹心复合体. 待测抗原浓度越大, 固体基底上俘获的金纳米棒探针的数目越多, 从而可通过SERS信号的强弱来检测待测抗原的浓度. 由于金纳米棒的表面等离子体共振(SPR)峰位置可以在较宽的范围内调控, 可通过激发光和SPR的耦合来提高SERS信号, 从而提高免疫检测的灵敏度. 单组分抗原可检出的浓度范围高于1×10－8 mg/mL.

采用溶胶-凝胶分子模板法在50 nm厚金膜表面制备约40 nm厚介孔二氧化硅(MPS)薄膜,然后在MPS薄膜表面静电自组装金纳米粒子(GNP)单层膜,形成的多层膜结构用作表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)基底.利用扫描电镜观测到MPS薄膜具有表面开口多孔结构,有助于小分子向薄膜内快速扩散.基于时域有限差分(FDTD)方法对电场分布的仿真结果指出,在表面等离子体共振(SPR)条件下分布于金膜与GNP之间的消逝场显著增强.由于空间重叠,该增强场能够高效激发MPS内富集的小分子拉曼信号,产生的拉曼信号还可免受金属作用的干扰.利用Kretschmann结构和尼罗蓝(NB)拉曼活性分子测试了Au/MPS/GNP基底在785 nm激发波长下的SERS效果,并与Au/GNP基底进行了比较.结果表明,在SPR条件下,Au/MPS/GNP基底能够导致较强的定向和背向拉曼信号,而且在586 cm-1处的背向拉曼信号强度是Au/GNP基底的40倍,这归功于MPS薄膜.进一步测试表明背向拉曼信号强度与NB浓度成正相关.这意味着Au/MPS/GNP基底具有良好的半定量检测本领.

基于自组装纳米金单层膜的全内反射SERS研究

采用静电自组装技术分别在玻璃基片和30 nm厚的金膜表面固定一层金纳米粒子(GNP)制得两种表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)基底,然后通过棱镜全内反射(TIR)激励和背向收集模式分别测试了两种基底上吸附的染料单分子层SERS光谱.实验结果表明两种SERS基底的拉曼增强效果均高度依赖于入射激光的偏振状态,对于玻璃/纳米金SERS基底,s光全内反射导致的拉曼增强因子是线偏振光(p)光的2-5倍,说明该基底上的"热点"位于纳米金单层膜内相邻粒子之间;对于玻璃/金膜/纳米金SERS基底,只有采用p光在特定的全内反射角下才能激发SERS信号,而且测得的SERS信号比玻璃/纳米金基底增强了近30倍.究其原因是p光在金膜表面共振激发的传播表面等离子体与纳米金局域表面等离子体耦合,进而导致显著场增强.实验结果指出在背向收集模式下,由p光激发的SERS信号是非偏振光,包含强度几乎相等的s和p成分.利用玻璃/金膜/纳米金基底还实现了拉曼光定向发射和收集,测得的SERS信号是p光.

The study of Turnip Mosaic virus coat protein by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Using Turnip Mosaic virus (TuMV) coat protein as material, the secondary structure has been studied by both normal Raman spectroscopy (NRS) and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The NRS of TuMV coat protein under certain conditions showed the α-helix, β-sheet and random coil structure. The CSSC comformations are trans—gauche—gauche and gauche—gauche—gauche. The SERS spectrum of TuMV coat protein under certain conditions reveals the α-helix structure. By studying SERS at different adsorbing times, we have observed the amide III vibration of α-helix, β-sheet and random coil structure. The CSSC conformations drawn from the SERS spectra are trans—gauche—gauche and trans—gauche—trans. Besides the amide I, amide III and CSSC bands, the CαCN band, aromatic amino acid bands and some other bands can also be seen in the SERS spectra.     

酯类基础油热氧化过程中的拉曼光谱分析

将DXR激光显微拉曼光谱仪与Linkam FTIR600控温台联用,测定了连续加热、恒温氧化过程中三羟甲基丙烷油酸酯(TMPTO)、偏苯三酸三异酸酯(TDTM)、己二酸二异辛酯(DOA)等酯类基础油的拉曼特征峰的变化规律,探讨了热氧化过程中酯类油分子结构的变化特点。研究发现,随着加热温度的提高,酯类基础油的部分拉曼峰的峰位与峰强均发生了明显变化;酯类基础油的甲基与亚甲基的C—H伸缩振动峰及亚甲基的剪式振动峰对温度很敏感,随着温度的升高发生了不同程度的峰强衰减,冷却后可基本恢复;C‖O振动峰随温度的升高变化不明显;TMPTO酯类基础油的C‖C双键伸缩振动峰随着温度升高逐渐向高波区移动冷却后可恢复,‖C—H和C‖C的伸缩振动峰强冷却后不能完全恢复;恒温下随着氧化时间的延长,TDTM和DOA基础油的拉曼峰无明显变化,与TMPTO基础油的‖C—H、C‖C及—CH2—相关的拉曼峰呈规律性衰减。因此可运用原位拉曼光谱法对不饱和酯类基础油中连续氧化进行监测。而原位光谱法对饱和酯类油和芳香酯类油高温连续氧化过程的监测具有一定的局限性。     

Synthesis, characterization and SERS activity of Au-Ag nanorods

The formation mechanism and morphology of Au-Ag bimetallic colloidal nanoparticles depend on the composition. Ag coated Au colloidal nanoparticles have been prepared by deposition of Ag through chemical reduction on performed Au colloid. The composition of the Au(100-x)-Ag(x) particles was varied from x=0 to 50. The obtained colloids were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Au(80)-Ag(20) colloid consists of alloy nanorods with dimension of 25nmx100nm. The activity of these nanorods in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was checked by using sodium salicylate as an adsorbate probe. Intense SERS bands are observed indicating its usefulness as a SERS substrate in near infrared (NIR) laser excitation.     

Au nanorod arrays tailored for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

We have demonstrated surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) on arrays of Au nanorods aligned in line by a dynamic oblique deposition technique. For light polarized along the major axes of the nanorods, the plasma resonance of the Au nanorods has been tuned to a wavelength suitable for Raman spectroscopy. Raman scattering on the discrete nanorods is significantly enhanced compared with that on semicontinuous Au films. Since the preparation process is physically bottom-up, it is robust in its selection of the materials and is useful for providing SERS sensors at low cost.     

Structure and identity of 4,4'-thiobisbenzenethiol self-assembled monolayers

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4,4'-thiobisbenzenethiol (TBBT) can be formed on Au surface spontaneously. The structural characteristics and adsorption behavior of TBBT SAMs on Au have been investigated by surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), electrochemical cyclic voltammetry (CV), ac impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It is demonstrated that TBBT adsorbed on Au by losing a H atom, forming one Au-S bond, and the other mercapto group is free at the surface of the monolayer owing to the presence of the nu(S-H) at 2513 cm(-1) and the delta(C-S-H) at 910 cm(-1) in SERS. The enhancement of the vibration of C-S (1064 cm(-1)), the aromatic C-H vibration (3044 cm(-1)), and the absence of the vibration of S-S illustrate TBBT adsorbed on Au forming a monolayer with one benzene ring tilted with respect to the Au surface. The interpretation of the observed frequencies is aided by ab initio molecular orbital (MO) calculations at the HF/6-31G level of theory. Electrochemical CV and EIS indicate TBBT monolayers can passivate the Au effectively for its low ratio of pinhole defects (theta = 99.6%). AFM studies give details about the surface morphology. The applications of TBBT SAMs have been extensively investigated by exposure of Cu2+ ion to TBBT SAMs on Au and covalent adsorption of metal nanoparticles. Electrochemical, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic, and SERS results indicate that Cu2+ can react with TBBT SAMs and present on TBBT SAMs as Cu(I). A scanning electron microscopic image of Ag nanoparticles on TBBT/Au and the Raman spectrum of TBBT in smooth macroscopic Au/TBBT SAMs/Ag nanoparticle sandwich structure indicate that metal nanoparticles can be adsorbed on TBBT SAMs effectively through covalent linkage.     

Vibrational spectroscopy of selected minerals of the rosasite group

Minerals in the rosasite group namely rosasite, glaucosphaerite, kolwezite, mcguinnessite have been studied by a combination of infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The spectral patterns for the minerals rosasite, glaucosphaerite, kolwezite and mcguinnessite are similar to that of malachite implying the molecular structure is similar to malachite. A comparison is made with the spectrum of malachite. The rosasite mineral group is characterised by two OH stretching vibrations at approximately 3401 and 3311 cm-1. Two intense bands observed at approximately 1096 and 1046 cm-1 are assigned to nu1(CO3)2- symmetric stretching vibration and the delta OH deformation mode. Multiple bands are found in the 800-900 and 650-750 cm-1 regions attributed to the nu2 and nu4 bending modes confirming the symmetry reduction of the carbonate anion in the rosasite mineral group as C2v or Cs. A band at approximately 560 cm-1 is assigned to a CuO stretching mode.     

Effect of Ag and Au nanoparticles on the SERS of 4-aminobenzenethiol assembled on powdered copper

Raman scattering measurements were conducted for 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) assembled on powdered copper substrates. Initially, very weak Raman peaks were detected, but upon attaching Ag nanoparticles probably via NH2 groups onto 4-ABT/Cu, distinct Raman spectra were observed. Considering the fact that no Raman peak was identified when Ag nanoparticles were adsorbed on 4-aminophenyl-derivatized silane monolayers assembled on silica powders, the Raman spectra observed for Ag@4-ABT/Cu should be surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra, occurring by an electromagnetic coupling of the localized surface plasmon of Ag nanoparticles with the surface plasmon polariton of Cu powders. The extra enhancement factor attainable by the attachment of a single Ag nanoparticle is estimated to be as large as 1.4 x 10(5) in the case when 632.8-nm radiation is used as the excitation source. When Au nanoparticles were attached onto 4-ABT/Cu, at least an order of magnitude weaker Raman spectra were obtained at all excitation wavelengths, however, indicating that the Au-to-Cu coupling should be far less effective than the Ag-to-Cu coupling for the induction of SERS.     

First Principles Calculations Toward Understanding SERS of 2,2′-Bipyridyl Adsorbed on Au,Ag, and Au–Ag Nanoalloy

First principles electrodyanmics and quantum chemical simulations are performed to gain insights into the underlying mechanisms of the surface enhanced Raman spectra of 22BPY adsorbed on pure Au and Ag as well as on Au–Ag alloy nanodiscs. Experimental SERS spectra from Au and Ag nanodiscs show similar peaks, whereas those from Au–Ag alloy reveal new spectral features. The physical enhancement factors due to surface nano-texture were considered by numerical FDTD simulations of light intensity distribution for the nano-textured Au, Ag, and Au–Ag alloy and compared with experimental results. For the chemical insights of the enhancement, the DFT calculations with the dispersion interaction were performed using Au₂₀, Ag₂₀, and Au₁₀Ag₁₀ clusters of a pyramidal structure for SERS modeling. Binding of 22BPY to the clusters was simulated by considering possible arrangements of vertex and planar physical as well as chemical adsorption models. The DFT results indicate that 22BPY prefers a coplanar adsorption on a (111) face with trans-conformation having close energy difference to cis-conformation. Binding to pure Au cluster is stronger than to pure Ag or Au–Ag alloy clusters and adsorption onto the alloy surface can deform the surface. The computed Raman spectra are compared with experimental data and assignments for pure Au and Ag models are well matching, indicating the need of dispersion interaction to reproduce strong Raman signal at around 800 cm^–1. This work provides insight into 3D character of SERS on nanorough surfaces due to different binding energies and bond length of nanoalloys. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
