A continuous aerosol process has been studied for producing nanoparticles of oxides that were decorated with smaller metallic
nanoparticles and are free of organic stabilizers. To produce the oxide carrier nanoparticles, an aerosol of 3–6 μm oxide
particles was ablated using a pulsed excimer laser. The resulting oxide nanoparticle aerosol was then mixed with 1.5–2.0 μm
metallic particles and this mixed aerosol was exposed to the laser for a second time. The metallic micron-sized particles
were ablated during this second exposure, and the resulting nanoparticles deposited on the surface of the oxide nanoparticles
producing an aerosol of 10–60 nm oxide nanoparticles that were decorated with smaller 1–5 nm metallic nanoparticles. The metal
and oxide nanoparticle sizes were varied by changing the laser fluence and gas type in the aerosol. The flexibility of this
approach was demonstrated by producing metal-decorated oxide nanoparticles using two oxides, SiO2 and TiO2, and two metals, Au and Ag. 相似文献

Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a unique technique to study submembrane hemoglobin (Hbsm) in erythrocytes. We report the detailed design of SERS experiments on living erythrocytes to estimate dependence of the enhancemen t factor for main Raman bands of Hbsm on silver nanoparticle (AgNP) properties. We demonstrate that the enhancement factor for ν 4/A1g, ν 10/B1g and A2g Raman bands of Hbsm varies from 105 to 107 under proposed experimental conditions with 473 nm laser excitation. For the first time we show that the enhancement of Raman scattering increases with the increase in the relative amount of small NPs in colloids, with the decrease in AgNP size and with plasmon resonance shift to the shorter wavelength region. Obtained results can be explained by the ability of smaller AgNPs to get deeper into nano‐invaginations of the plasma membrane than larger AgNPs. This shortens the distance between small AgNPs and Hbsm and, consequently, leads to the higher enhancement of Raman scattering of Hbsm. The enhancement of higher wavenumber bands ν 10/B1g and A2g is more sensitive to AgNPs’ size and the relative amount of small AgNPs than the enhancement of the lower wavenumber band ν 4/A1g. This can be used for AgNP‐controlled enhancement of the desired Raman bands and should be taken into account in biomedical SERS experiments. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

We have optimized the procedure for preparation of nanostructured silver films on the surface of mesoporous silicon (PSi)
to use them as active substrates in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. The greatest enhancement of the
SERS signal was observed for samples obtained when the silver was deposited on PSi from an aqueous AgNO3 solution with concentration 1⋅10–2 M over a 10–15 minute period. The detection limit for rhodamine 6G on SERS-active substrates prepared by the optimized procedure
was 1⋅10–10 M. The enhancement factor for the SERS signal on these surfaces was estimated as ≈2⋅108. We have shown that SERS-active substrates based on mesoporous silicon are promising for detection and study of complex organic
compounds, in particular tetrapyrrole molecules.

To increase the sensitivity in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurement, a three‐dimensional (3D) SERS substrate was prepared by the decoration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the side walls of ZnO nanowires. The prepared 3D SERS substrates provide the advantages of highly loaded density of AgNPs, with a large specific surface area to interact with analytes, and the ease for the analytes to access the surfaces of AgNPs. To prepare the substrates, ZnO nanowires were first grown on a glass plate by wet chemical method. By treating SnCl2 on the surfaces of ZnO nanowires, Ag seeds could be formed on the side wall of the ZnO nanowires, which were further grown to a suitable size for SERS measurements via photochemical reduction. To optimize and understand the influences of the parameters used in preparation of the substrates, the reaction conditions were systematically adjusted and examined. Results indicated that AgNPs could be successfully decorated on the side wall of the ZnO nanowires only by the assistances of SnCl2. The size and density of AgNPs were affected by both the concentration of silver nitrate and the irradiation time. With optimized condition, the prepared 3D substrates provided an enhancement factor approaching 7 orders of magnitude compared with conventional Raman intensity.

We report surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from 4-mercaptopyridine adsorbed on nanotextured silver surfaces as the
coverage of silver is varied. The degree of surface enhancement is strongly dependent on silver coverage and correlated to
the extinction of the surface at the Raman excitation wavelength, that extinction being determined by multiparticle surface
plasmon resonances. The coverage dependence of the Raman intensity is consistent with signals being dominated by molecules
at junctions inside nanoparticle aggregates where electromagnetic energy is localized into “hot spots” by interactions of
the incident and scattered fields with the surface plasmons. The Raman intensity drops precipitously near the conductivity
percolation threshold because these hot spots are destroyed when conducting paths allow plasmons to propagate. Our approach
to substrate preparation provides clean surfaces with average enhancements ≥107, an order of magnitude larger than typical for SERS.

AgGa1-xInxS2 with x=0.14±0.01 was found to be 90° phase-matchable for type-I difference-frequency generation (DFG) by mixing the dual-wavelength
pulses emitted from an electronically tuned Ti:sapphire laser. Infrared radiation continuously tunable over the range of 4.80–6.98 μm
was generated by independently varying the two wavelengths in the 705–932 nm spectral range, and 4.04 μm radiation by mixing
a Nd:YAG laser with the Ti:sapphire laser. In addition, this material was found to be noncritically phase-matchable for the
second harmonic generation (SHG) of CO2 laser radiation at 10.591 μm at 203 °C. Sellmeier equations that reproduce well these experimental data are presented.

A silver nanoparticle ensemble was prepared under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions by Volmer–Weber growth on a quartz substrate
for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) investigations of pyrene molecules. To tune the surface plasmon resonance frequency
in the vicinity of the excitation wavelength of 488 nm of the diode laser, the morphology of the silver nanoparticles was
optimized. The substrates were mounted in a flow-through cell as part of the optical Raman set-up. A microsystem diode laser
generates two slightly different emission wavelengths (λ=487.61 nm and λ=487.91 nm) with a spectral width <10 pm and an optical power of 20 mW, i.e. SERS experiments are possible but also shifted
excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) can be carried out. For trace analysis of pyrene in water we demonstrate
SERS/SERDS experiments which lead to a limit of detection of 2 nmol/l for pyrene. These results suggest that with silver nanoparticle
ensembles excited at their plasmon resonance at 488 nm combined SERS/SERDS measurements can be effectively performed for in-situ
trace analysis of pollutant chemicals in water. 相似文献

A nanoparticle TiO2 solid-state photoelectrochemical cell utilizing as a solid electrolyte of poly(acrylonitrile)–propylene–carbonate–lithium
perchlorate (PAN–PC–LiClO4) has been fabricated. The performance of the device has been tested in the dark and under illumination of 100-mW cm−2 light. A nanoparticle TiO2 film was deposited onto indium tin oxide-covered glass substrate by controlled hydrolysis technique assisted with spin-coating
technique. The average grain size for the TiO2 film is 76 nm. LiClO4 salt was used as a redox couple. The room temperature conductivity of the electrolyte is 4.2 × 10−4 S cm−1. A graphite electrode was prepared onto a glass slide by electron beam evaporation technique. The device shows the rectification
property in the dark and shows the photovoltaic effect under illumination. The best J
sc and V
oc of the device were 2.82 μA cm−2 and V
oc of 0.58 V, respectively, obtained at the conductivity of 4.2 × 10−4 S cm−1 and intensity of 100 mW cm−2. The J
sc was improved by about three times by introducing nanoparticle TiO2 and by using a solid electrolyte of PAN–PC–LiClO4 replacing PVC–PC–LiClO4 in the device. The current transport mechanism of the cell is also presented in this paper. 相似文献

In-situ functionalization of gold nanoparticles with fluorophore-tagged oligonucleotides is studied by comparing femtosecond
laser ablation in stationary liquid and in biomolecule flow. Femtosecond laser pulses induce significant degradation to sensitive
biomolecules when ablating gold in a stationary solution of oligonucleotides. Contrary, in-situ conjugation of nanoparticles
in biomolecule flow considerably reduces the degree of degradation studied by gel electrophoresis and UV–Vis spectrometry.
Ablating gold with 100 μJ femtosecond laser pulses DNA sequence does not degrade, while the degree of fluorophore tag degradation
was 84% in stationary solution compared to 5% for 1 mL/min liquid flow. It is concluded that femtosecond laser-induced degradation
of biomolecules is triggered by absorption of nanoparticle conjugates suspended in the colloid and not by ablation of the
target. Quenching of nanoparticle size appears from 0.5 μM biomolecule concentration for 0.3 μg/s nanoparticle productivity
indicating the successful surface functionalization. Finally, increasing the liquid flow rate from stationary to 450 mL/min
enhances nanoparticle productivity from 0.2 μg/s to 1.5 μg/s, as increasing liquid flow allows removal of light absorbing
nanoparticles from the ablation zone, avoiding attenuation of subsequent laser photons. 相似文献

In this article, we have reported on the synthesis of ultra-highly concentrated (5.88 M), well-stable Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs).
The AgNPs were formed by hydrothermal heat treatment of an aqueous solution of poly [(2-ethyldimethylammonioethyl methacrylate
ethyl sulfate)-co-(1-vinylpyrrolidone)] (PQ11), a kind of cationic polyeletrolyte, in the presence of AgNO3 powder at 170 °C, without the additional step of introducing other reducing agents and protective agents. Transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) observations reveal that the as-formed AgNPs mainly consist of small nanoparticles about 10 nm in diameter.
Most importantly, it was found that such dispersion can form stable films on bare electrode surfaces and the AgNPs contained
therein still exhibit notable catalytic performance for reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This H2O2 sensor has a fast amperometric response time of less than 3 s. Its linear range is estimated to be from 0.1 to 60 mM (r = 0.993), and the detection limit is estimated to be 1.6 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. 相似文献

A facile hydrothermal route was used to synthesize silver nanoparticle (AgNP)-decorated microflower molybdenum disulfide (MoS2-MF) for bio-electrochemical platform fabrication to detect nonenzymatic glucose concentration. The morphologies of the materials were studied by scanning electron microscopy, and their structural characteristics were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrochemical characteristics of the AgNPs/MoS2-MF/PtE biosensor were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The obtained data indicated that the developed nonenzymatic glucose sensor has a large linear response between 1.0 and 15.0 mM, a limit of detection of as low as 1.0 mM, and a sensitivity of 46.5 μA nM−1 cm−2. The biosensor also displayed outstanding selectivity, stability, reproducibility, and repeatability. Additionally, the AgNPs/MoS2-MF/PtE biosensor was utilized to detect glucose concentration in real sample and showed practical application potential for glucose detection. 相似文献

This communication reports on a new method for the collection of nanoparticles using carbon nanotubes (CNT) as collecting
surfaces, by which the problem of agglomeration of nanoparticles can be circumvented. CNT (10–50 nm in diameter, 1–10 μm in
length) were grown by thermal CVD at 923 K in a 7 v/v% C2H2 in N2 mixture on electroless nickel-plated copper transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids and Monel coupons. These samples
were then placed downstream of an arc plasma reactor to collect individual copper nanoparticles (5–30 nm in diameter). It
was observed that the Cu nanoparticles preferentially adhere onto CNT and that the macro-particles (diameter >1 μm), a usual
co-product obtained with metal nanoparticles in the arc plasma synthesis, are not collected. Cu–Ni nanoparticles, a catalyst
for CNT growth, were deposited on CNT to grow multibranched CNT. CNT-embedded thin films were produced by re-melting the deposited
nanoparticles. 相似文献

The sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with diameters of 30~50 nm were self-assembled onto the surfaces of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets simply by mixing AgNO3 aqueous solution and GO dispersion via a synchronous reduction process. Structure and morphology of the rGO–AgNPs hybrids were well characterized. More significantly, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) adsorbed on the solid rGO–AgNPs surface shown that the rGO–AgNPs system gives a very strong SERS intensity at in-plane vibrational modes in comparison to the out-of-plane vibrational modes. This large enhancement effect is most likely a result of charge-transfer (CT) mechanism. Based on the surface selection rules and the information provided by the highly enhanced in-plane vibrational modes, it can be found that MBI molecule was adsorbed on AgNPs surface as a thiol form via the sulphur and nitrogen atoms with a slightly tilted geometric conformation. 相似文献

General and versatile methods for the functionalization of superparamagnetic, silica-coated, maghemite nanoparticles by surface
amino and/or carboxyl groups have been established. The nanoparticles were synthesized using co-precipitation from aqueous
solutions and coated with a thin layer of silica using the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). For the
amino functionalization, 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propylmethyldimethoxysilane (APMS) was grafted onto the nanoparticle surfaces
in their aqueous suspensions. The grafting process was followed by measurements of the ζ-potential and a determination of
the concentration of the surface amino groups with conductometric titrations. The surface concentration of the amino groups
could be varied by increasing the amount of APMS in the grafting process up to approximately 2.3 –NH2 groups per nm2. The carboxyl functionalization was obtained in two ways: (i) by a ring-opening linker elongation reaction of the surface
amines at the functionalized nanoparticles with succinic anhydride (SA) in non-aqueous medium, and (ii) by reacting the APMS
and SA first, followed by grafting of the carboxyl-terminated reagent onto the nanoparticle surfaces. Using the first method,
the SA only reacted with the terminal primary amino groups (–NH2) of the surface-grafted APMS molecules. Infra-red spectroscopy (ATR FTIR) and mass spectrometry (HRMS) showed that the second
method enables the bonding of up to two SA molecules per one APMS molecule, since the SA reacted with both the primary (–NH2) and secondary amino (–NH–) groups of the APMS molecule. When using both methods, the ratio between the surface amino and
carboxyl groups can be controlled. 相似文献

Molecular structures of the isolated tetrahedral oxovanadium(IV) and bridged μ-oxo-divanadium(IV) complexes hosted by the
clusters mimicking surfaces of amorphous silica-based materials were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Principal values of the g and A tensors for the monomer vanadyl species were obtained using the coupled-perturbed DFT level of theory and the spin–orbit
mean-field approximation (SOMF). Magnetic exchange interaction for the μ-oxo bridged vanadium(IV) dimer was investigated within
the broken symmetry approach. An antiferromagnetic coupling of the individual magnetic moments of the vanadium(IV) centers
in the [VO–O–VO]2+ bridges was revealed and discussed in detail. The coupling explains pronounced decrease of the electron paramagnetic resonance
signal (EPR) intensity, observed for the reduced VO
x
/SiO2 samples with the increasing coverage of vanadia, in terms of transformation of the paramagnetic monomer species into the
dimers with S = 0 ground state. 相似文献

Abstract
Ag nanoparticles/graphene nanosheet (AgNPs/GN) composites have been rapidly prepared by a one-pot microwave-assisted reduction method, carried out by microwave irradiation of a N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution of graphene oxide (GO) and AgNO3. Several analytical techniques including UV–vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been used to characterize the resulting AgNPs/GN composites. It suggests that such composites exhibit good catalytic activity toward reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), leading to a H2O2 sensor with a fast amperometric response time of less than 2 s. The linear detection range is estimated to be from 0.1 to 100 mM (r = 0.999), and the detection limit is estimated to be 0.5 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. 相似文献17.

Composite films of polyaniline (PANI) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by electrochemical co-deposition from solutions
of the corresponding monomer containing two different kinds of CNTs. The first type was commercial (diameter = 110–170 nm,
length = 5–9 μm) and the second one was home-made (diameter = 30 nm, length = 5–20 μm). The electrochemical behaviour of PANI–CNTs
composite films was investigated with Cyclic Voltammetry and the surface morphology was analysed by Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM). Subtractively Normalised Interfacial FT-IR procedure was used to investigate the presence of corrosion products when
the films were deposited on stainless steel substrates and exposed to acid environment. The spectral investigations were utilised
to understand the role of composite films in the corrosion protection and to discriminate the best performance CNTs. 相似文献

The chaperonin protein GroEL was mixed with varying concentrations of K2PtCl4 followed by a 20-fold concentration of sodium borohydride to afford GroEL–platinum nanoparticle complexes in a ratio of between
1:25 and 1:2,000. Typical colour change, from colourless or pale yellow to brown, occurred that was dependent on the amount
of platinum present. These complexes were characterised by UV/Vis, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy,
Fourier transform infra red, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. TEM analysis
revealed that the size of nanoparticles increased as the molar ratio of platinum to GroEL increased with an average size diameter
of 1.72–3.5 nm generated with GroEL–platinum molar ratios of 1:125–1:2,000. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
spectra showed no distinct changes in the structure of GroEL but confirmed that the nanoparticles were attached to the protein.
The effect of platinum nanoparticles on the ATPase activity of GroEL showed an activity of 5.60 μmol min−1 ml−1 (87 % increase over a control) at the molar ratio of GroEL–platinum nanoparticles of 1:25. 相似文献

There is an increasing interest in developing surface enhancement Raman spectroscopy methods for intracellular biomolecule and for in vitro protein detection that involve dye or protein–dye conjugates. In this work, we have demonstrated that protein adsorption on silver nanoparticle (AgNP) can significantly attenuate the surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) signal of dye molecules in both protein/dye mixtures and protein/dye conjugates. SERS spectra of 12 protein/dye mixtures were acquired using 4 proteins [bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme, trypsin, and concanavalin A] and three dyes [Rhodamine 6G, adenine, and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)]. Besides the protein/dye mixtures, spectra were also obtained for the free dyes and four FITC‐conjugated proteins. While no SERS signal was observed in protein/FITC mixtures or conjugates, a significantly reduced SERS intensity (up to 3 orders of magnitude) was observed for both R6G and adenine in their respective protein mixtures. Quantitative estimation of the number of dye molecules absorbed onto AgNP implied that the degree of R6G SERS signal reduction in the R6G/BSA sample is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude higher than what could be accounted for by the difference in the amount of the absorbed dyes. This finding has significant implications for both intracellular SERS analyses and in vitro protein detection using SERS tagging strategies that rely on Raman dyes as reporter molecules.

We report a novel method for the fabrication of films of silver nanoparticle aggregates that are strongly attached to Si substrates (Thiol‐immobilized silver nanoparticle aggregates or TISNA). The attachment is achieved by chemically modifying the surface of a Si(100) surface in order to provide SH groups covalently linked to the substrate and then aggregating silver nanoparticles on these thiol covered surfaces. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterization show a high coverage with single nanoparticles or small clusters and a partial coverage with fractal aggregates that provide potential hot spots for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We have confirmed the SERS activity of these films by adsorbing rhodamine 6G and recording the Raman spectra at several concentrations. By using the silver‐chloride stretching band as an internal standard, the adsorbate bands can be normalized in order to correct for the effects of focusing and aggregate size, which determine the number of SERS active sites in the focal area. This allows a quantitative use of SERS to be done. The adsorption–desorption of rhodamine 6G on TISNA films is reversible. These features make our TISNA films potential candidates for their use in chemical sensors based on the SERS effect. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
