The Effect of L-Cysteine on Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering of Malachite Green in Silver Colloids

ABSTRACT

Colloidal silver nanoparticles were prepared by a simple chemical reduction method. The effect of L-cysteine on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering activity of colloidal silver nanoparticles was investigated by using malachite green as a probe molecule. It was found that the surface-enhanced Raman scattering activity of colloidal silver nanoparticles was improved tremendously with the help of L-cysteine. The possible reasons for this enhancement effect were given. Specifically, in silver colloidal solution, no surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectrum of malachite green was observed at a relatively low concentration (≤2.5 × 10^?5 mol/L). However, well-resolved and high-quality surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra of malachite green were successfully obtained after the addition of L-cysteine to silver colloids, and the minimum detection limit for malachite green was down to 10^?8 mol/L.     

Characterization of the Plasmonic Fluorescence Enhancement of Poly (3-hexylthiophene) for Organic Solar Cell Applications

The dependence of surface-enhanced fluorescence of the semiconducting polymer poly (3-hexylthiophene) on the diameter of silver nanoparticles was studied. Particle suspensions with a high degree of monodispersity, ranging in diameter from 15 to 153 nm, were synthesized. Polymer films were spin-cast onto substrates containing immobilized silver particles. Fluorescence enhancement factors ranged from 0.9 to 4.9 and generally improved with increasing particle size. Normalization of the fluorescence enhancement to the number of interrogated particles showed an 800-fold increase in enhancement between the smallest and largest particles.     

Fluorescence Modulation of Acridine and Coumarin Dyes by Silver Nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of silver ions by sodium borohydride in the presence of poly-(N)-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone in solution of short chain alcohols. The nanoparticles are stable in 2-propanol, and the average diameter of the Ag colloid obtained in this solvent is about 6 nm. The photophysical properties of acridinium and coumarin dyes in 2-propanol are affected by the presence of silver nanoparticles. The interaction of silver nanoparticles with acridinium derivative leads to a spectral change of its intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) absorption band. The dye emission increases suddenly with the initial addition of the Ag metal nanoparticles, but at a high concentration of the colloid, static fluorescence quenching occurs with a progressive decrease of the fluorescence efficiency. Amino coumarin fluorescence is only quenched by the silver nanoparticles in solution.     

Glucose-Sensitive Nanoassemblies Comprising Affinity-Binding Complexes Trapped in Fuzzy Microshells

A new design for glucose monitoring with "smart" materials based on self assembly, competitive binding, and resonance energy transfer (RET) is presented. The basic transduction principle is changing RET efficiency from fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) to tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC), as FITC-dextran is displaced from TRITC-Concanavalin A (Con A) with the addition of glucose. Nanoscale fabrication by self-assembly of Con A/dextran into multilayer films, followed by polymer multilayers. The advantages of this approach include physical localization and separation of sensing molecules from the environment via entrapment of the biosensorelements in a semi-permeable polymeric shell, and only functional molecules are included in the sensors. To realize these nanostructures, dissolvable resin microparticles were coated with FITC-dextran+TRITC-Con A multilayers, followed by polyelectrolyte multilayers, and the core particles were then dissolved to yield hollow capsules. The nanoassembly process was studied using microbalance mass measurements, fluorescence spectroscopy, confocal fluorescence microscopy, and zeta-potential measurements. The key findings are that the specific binding between Con A and dextran can be used to deposit ultrathin multilayer films, and these exhibit changing RET in response to glucose. Fluorescence spectra of a microcapsules exhibited a linear, glucose-specific, 27% increase in the relative fluorescence of FITC over the 0-1800 mg/dL range. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using self-assembled microcapsules as optical glucose sensors, and serve as a basis for work toward better understanding the properties of these novel materials.

Synthesis of biomacromolecule-stabilized silver nanoparticles and their surface-enhanced Raman scattering properties

In this work, water soluble silver nanoparticles stabilized by biomacromolecule, were produced through using an aqueous solution of silver nitrate with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) under different reducing agents (such as sodium borohydride, hydrazine, N,N-dimethyl formamide) at the room temperature, where BSA provided the main function to form monodispersed silver nanoparticles. UV–vis spectroscopy, Fluorescence spectra, TEM and HR-TEM are used to characterize the BSA-capped silver nanoparticles under different condition. The results show that the formed silver nanoparticles have different size and morphology under the three different reducing agents. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity of BSA was drastically quenched in presence of Ag nanoparticles from the results of fluorescence spectra. Furthermore, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering effects of the formed silver nanoparticles were also displayed and we made a comparison under three different reducing agents.     

Refolding of Hemoglobin Under Macromolecular Confinement: Impersonating In Vivo Volume Exclusion

Biomacromolecules evolve and function inside the cell under crowded conditions. The effect of macromolecular crowding and confinement on nature and interactions of biomacromolecules cannot be ruled out. This study demonstrates the effect of volume exclusion due to macromolecular crowding on refolding rate of Gn-HCl induced unfolded hemoglobin. The in vivo like crowding milieu was created using dextran 70. Unfolding of Hb was followed by the absorbance at 280 nm and intrinsic fluorescence intensity along with a bathochromic shift that shows the destabilization of Hb in the presence of the denaturing agent. This was supported by a decrease in soret absorbance, increased hydrodynamic radii and loss in secondary structure, evidenced from dynamic light scattering and circular dichroism experiments respectively. Refolding process of Hb was followed by an increase in soret absorbance, decrease in intrinsic fluorescence intensity with a hypsochromic shift, decreased hydrodynamic radii and gain in secondary structural content. The results revealed that the effect of confinement and volume exclusion is insignificant on the process of Hb refolding.

空间遥感应用中的光学有效载荷对系统偏振控制提出了越来越高的要求,作为常用的宽光谱反射镜,金属银(Ag)膜反射镜的偏振特性随着环境温度的改变而变化。本文设计并制备了低偏振灵敏度的Ag膜反射镜,研究了反射镜在45°和60°入射角下,从室温25℃升温到150℃时的偏振特性变化和反射光谱变化情况。随着温度的升高,Ag膜的折射率在350~1 200 nm波长范围内有所增加;Ag膜反射镜的反射光中s和p光的相位差Δ在350~600 nm波长范围内减小,在600~650 nm波长范围内基本稳定,在650~1 200 nm波长范围内增大。温度上升到125℃时,Ag膜和反射镜表面形貌发生改变,增加了表面散射和吸收,导致350~900 nm波段反射率降低,在波长350 nm附近的降低约25%。     

Fluorescent silver nanoparticles via exploding wire technique

Aqueous solution containing spherical silver nanoparticles of 20–80 nm size have been generated using a newly developed novel electro-exploding wire (EEW) technique where thin silver wires have been exploded in double distilled water. Structural properties of the resulted nanoparticles have been studied by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The absorption spectrum of the aqueous solution of silver nanoparticles showed the appearance of a broad surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak centered at a wavelength of 390 nm. The theoretically generated SPR peak seems to be in good agreement with the experimental one. Strong green fluorescence emission was observed from the water-suspended silver nanoparticles excited with light of wavelengths 340, 360 and 390 nm. The fluorescence of silver nanoparticles could be due to the excitation of the surface plasmon coherent electronic motion with the small size effect and the surface effect considerations     

General method of synthesis for metal nanoparticles

Sugar-assisted stable monometallic nanoparticles were synthesized by wet chemical method following a general scheme. Judicious manipulation of the reducing capabilities of different sugars has shown to have a bearing on the particle size that corroborates the shift of the absorbance peak positions and TEM analysis. Evaporation of the precursor solutions on the solid surface (strong metal--support interaction), led to the formation of smaller particles. Under the experimental condition, spherical nanoparticles of approximately 1, 3, 10 and 20 nm sizes were prepared reproducibly for gold, platinum, silver and palladium, respectively. Fructose has been found to be the best suited sugar for the synthesis of smaller particles and remained stable for months together.     

Photoinduced formation and aggregation of silver nanoparticles at the surface of carboxymethylcellulose films

Formation and aggregation of photolytic silver nanoparticles at the surface of silver salt of carboxymethylcellulose films (CMCAg films) have been investigated. Detailed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study and field emission type scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) observation have been carried out to characterize silver nanoparticles at the film surface. When the CMCAg films were irradiated with UV light in wet air at room temperature for 30–60 min, silver nanoparticles of ca. 10 nm size were formed at the irradiated surface. According to the FE-SEM observation, the growth of the particle diameter and aggregation of nanoparticles took place after prolonged irradiation, and finally, the irradiated side of the film surface was densely covered with the silver nanoparticles of ca. 35 nm size. Chemical composition analysis by the XPS measurements has confirmed the increase in the atomic concentration of silver with irradiation time. It is suggested that silver atoms and clusters can move in the film and precipitate at the irradiated surface.     

A fluorescence spectroscopy study of traditional Chinese medicine Angelica

By measuring the fluorescence spectra of Chinese medicine (CM) Angelica water solutions with different concentrations from 0.025 to 2.5 mg/mL, results showed that the fluorescence intensity was proportional to the concentration. Through fluorescence spectra of Angelica solution under different pH values, results indicated coumarin compounds were the active ingredients of Angelica. We also observed fluorescence quenching of the Angelica solution in the presence of spherical silver nanoparticles with radius of 12 nm. Keeping a certain value for the volume of the silver nanoparticles, the fluorescence intensity at 402 nm was linearly proportional to the Angelica in the range of 1–3 mg/mL.

The crystalline nature of the metal nanoparticles has been determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Average size and particle size distribution have been measured by means of TEM. The absorbance spectra show the characteristic band of the surface resonant plasmon of silver and gold nanoparticles.
