金纳米棒表面等离子体共振瑞利散射能量转移光谱测定痕量硼

硼是一种生命体必需的微量元素,但过量的硼对人体以及动植物有害。建立一种高灵敏度,高选择性以及简便的硼检测方法,对于环境和人类健康都具有很重要的意义。本研究的目的是建立一种简便,灵敏,选择性测定硼的金纳米棒等离子体共振瑞利散射能量转移光谱新方法。直径为12 nm, 长度为37 nm的金纳米棒采用种子生长法制备。在pH 5.6的NH₄Ac-HAc的缓冲溶液中和甲亚胺-H存在下,金纳米棒在404 nm处产生较强的共振瑞利散射峰。当体系中存在硼酸时,硼酸与甲亚胺-H形成硼酸-甲亚胺-H配合物。作为散射受体的配合物与散射共振能量转移的给体纳金米棒靠近时,发生瑞利散射共振能量转移,导致瑞利散射信号猝灭。随着硼酸浓度的增加,形成的配合物增加,金纳米棒转移给黄色配合物的散射光能量增大,导致体系404 nm处的瑞利散射强度线性降低。其降低值ΔI_{404 nm}与硼的浓度在10～750 ng·mL-1范围内呈良好的线性关系。考察了共存物质对该法测定2.3×10-7 mol·L-1 B的干扰情况。结果表明该法具有较高的选择性,即4×10-4 mol·L-1的Mn2+,Cd2+,Zn2+,Bi3+,Na+,Al3+,葡萄糖,Hg2+,IO-₃,F-,SO2-₄,SiO2-₃,NO-₃,ClO-₄,过氧化氢等对硼的测定无干扰。据此建立了一个灵敏度高,选择性好,简便快速检测硼的瑞利散射共振能量转移新方法。

Surface Plasmon Resonance and Aggregate Stability of Silver Nanoparticle Complexes with Chemotripsin

Extinction spectra, effective sizes, and aggregate stability of silver nanoparticles and nanocomplexes of silver nanoparticles with chymotrypsin obtained by the reactions of chemical reduction of silver nitrate using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent are studied. It is shown that silver nanoparticles obtained in the absence of chymotrypsin are aggregatively stable only at pH values immediately after synthesis. The placement of the synthesized silver nanoparticles in buffer solutions with pH values from 3.0 to 12.0 resulted in the appearance of a wide absorption band in the visible region of the spectrum, which is due to the agglomeration of silver nanoparticles, which appears to be the result of the destruction of the double electric layer formed by the ions making up sodium borohydride. The presence of chymotrypsin in the reaction medium resulted in significant spectral changes. Unlike silver nanoparticles synthesized in the absence of chymotrypsin, for nanocomplexes of silver nanoparticles with chymotrypsin with a change in pH, the shape of the extinction spectra and the position of the surface plasmon resonance band were preserved, while nanocomplexes of silver nanoparticles with chymotrypsin retained the aggregative stability in solutions in the pH range from 3.0 to 12.0 within a month. The observed stabilization effect of silver nanoparticles over a wide pH range induced by the presence of chymotrypsin in the reaction medium can be used further to develop methods for immobilizing enzymes on nanoparticles of biogenic elements and for creating polyfunctional pharmaceuticals, in which the components of nanocomplexes have different biological activity.     

Agglomeration,isolation and dissolution of commercially manufactured silver nanoparticles in aqueous environments

The increasing use of manufactured nanoparticles ensures these materials will make their way into the environment. Silver nanoparticles in particular, due to use in a wide range of applications, have the potential to get into water systems, e.g., drinking water systems, ground water systems, estuaries, and/or lakes. One important question is what is the chemical and physical state of these nanoparticles in water? Are they present as isolated particles, agglomerates or dissolved ions, as this will dictate their fate and transport. Furthermore, does the chemical and physical state of the nanoparticles change as a function of size or differ from micron-sized particles of similar composition? In this study, an electrospray atomizer coupled to a scanning mobility particle sizer (ES-SMPS) is used to investigate the state of silver nanoparticles in water and aqueous nitric acid environments. Over the range of pH values investigated, 0.5–6.5, silver nanoparticles with a bimodal primary particle size distribution with the most intense peak at 5.0 ± 7.4 nm, as determined from transmission electron microscopy (TEM), show distinct size distributions indicating agglomeration between pH 6.5 and 3 and isolated nanoparticles at pH values from 2.5 to 1. At the lowest pH investigated, pH 0.5, there are no peaks detected by the SMPS, indicating complete nanoparticle dissolution. Further analysis of the solution shows dissolved Ag ions at a pH of 0.5. Interestingly, silver nanoparticle dissolution shows size dependent behavior as larger, micron-sized silver particles show no dissolution at this pH. Environmental implications of these results are discussed.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticle by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Penicillium purpurogenum</Emphasis> NPMF: the process and optimization

An eco-friendly microbial method for synthesis of silver colloid solution with antimicrobial activity is developed using a fungal strain of Penicillium purpurogenum NPMF. It is observed that increase in concentration of AgNO₃ increases the formation of silver nanoparticle. At 5 mM concentration highly populated polydispersed nanoparticles form. Furthermore, change in pH of the reaction mixture leads to change in shape and size of silver nanoparticles. At lower pH two peaks are observed in the absorption spectra showing polydispersity of nanoparticles. However, highly monodispersed spherical nanoparticles of 8–10 nm size form with 1 mM AgNO₃ concentration at pH 8. Antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles is demonstrated against pathogenic gram negative bacteria like Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and gram positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles obtained at different initial pH show strong dependence on the surface area and shape of the nanoparticles.     

Surface enhanced Raman scattering of molecules related to highly ordered gold cavities

We presented a controlled particles‐in‐cavity (PIC) pattern for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. The periodic gold cavity array was fabricated by electrodeposition using highly ordered polystyrene spheres as a template. The as‐prepared gold cavities can be used as a SERS active substrate with significant spectral enhancement and reproducibility, which was evaluated by SERS signals using 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid (4‐MBA) as probe molecules. The surface of these gold cavities was further functionalized with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide molecules, which may immobilize the 4‐MBA‐modified silver nanoparticles in the gold cavity to form a PIC structure via the electrostatic interaction. We have demonstrated that there exists a pH window for the immobilization of the nanoparticles inside cavities. Therefore, the silver nanoparticles can be selectively immobilized into the functionalized gold cavities under the optimized pH value of the media. Further enhancement of the Raman scattering of the labeled molecules can be achieved due to the interconnection between the silver nanoparticles and gold cavity.

Process variables in biomimetic synthesis of silver nanoparticles by aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves

Owing to widespread applications, synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles is recently attracting considerable attention. Increasing environmental concerns over chemical synthesis routes have resulted in attempts to develop biomimetic approaches. One of them is synthesis using plant parts, which eliminates the elaborate process of maintaining the microbial culture and often found to be kinetically favourable than other bioprocesses. The present study deals with investigating the effect of process variables like reductant concentrations, reaction pH, mixing ratio of the reactants and interaction time on the morphology and size of silver nanoparticles synthesized using aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves. The formation of crystalline silver nanoparticles was confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis. By means of UV spectroscopy, Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques, it was observed that the morphology and size of the nanoparticles were strongly dependent on the process parameters. Within 4 h interaction period, nanoparticles below 20-nm-size with nearly spherical shape were produced. On increasing interaction time (ageing) to 66 days, both aggregation and shape anisotropy (ellipsoidal, polyhedral and capsular) of the particles increased. In alkaline pH range, the stability of cluster distribution increased with a declined tendency for aggregation of the particles. It can be inferred from the study that fine tuning the bioprocess parameters will enhance possibilities of desired nano-product tailor made for particular applications.

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 influence of pH and anions on the adsorption mechanism of rifampicin on silver colloids

The influence of pH and anions on the adsorption mechanism of rifampicin on colloidal silver nanoparticles has been analysed by electronic absorption, resonance Raman (RR) and surface‐enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS). Rifampicin is a widely used antibiotic with a zwitterionic nature. SERRS spectra of rifampicin adsorbed on silver sols, prepared using hydroxylamine hydrochloride as reducing agent, undergo dramatic changes upon lowering the pH. The spectral form changes progressively from that characteristic of chemisorbed rifampicin (at pH > 7) to one very similar to the rifampicin RR spectrum (at lower pH), indicative of a modification of the adsorption mechanism on the surface of the Ag nanoparticles. The RR‐type SERRS spectrum is proposed to result from formation of an ion pair between rifampicin and Cl⁻ anions, which, deriving from the colloid preparation, are adsorbed on the Ag surface. The addition of anions to the hydroxylamine hydrochloride sol facilitates conversion from the chemisorbed to ion pair form and leads to an order of magnitude increase in the SERRS signal.
