Trace analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using calixarene layered gold colloid film as substrates for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering

A surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrate for the detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was developed, which used 25, 27‐dimercaptoacetic acid‐26, 28‐dihydroxy‐4‐terbutyl calix[4]arene (DMCX) to functionalize a gold colloid film. This SERS‐active substrate prepared by self‐assembly method exhibits a high sensitivity, especially for the detection of PAHs. With the use of this SERS‐active substrate and with the application of the shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) technique, Raman signals of pyrene and anthracene in aqueous solutions at low concentration level (500 pM) can be obtained. Moreover, because PAHs are blocked from being directly adsorbed on gold colloid by DMCX and the photochemical reactions of adsorbates are avoided, the Raman bands of PAHs adsorbed on DMCX‐fuctionalized gold colloid film can be one‐to‐one correspondence with those of solid PAHs, and additionally, this SERS‐active substrate can be easily cleaned and reused. The obtained results demonstrate that the DMCX‐functionalized gold colloid films prepared by self‐assembly method have great potential to be developed to an in situ PAHs detection substrate.

Ultimate Charge Extraction of Monolayer PbS Quantum Dot for Observation of Multiple Exciton Generation

Multiple exciton generation (MEG) has great potential to improve the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) efficiency limitation for colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells. However, MEG has rarely been observed in CQD solar cells because of the loss of carriers through the transport mechanism between adjacent QDs. Herein, we demonstrate that excess charge carriers produced via MEG can be efficiently extracted using monolayer PbS QDs. The monolayer PbS QDs solar cells exhibit α=1 in the light intensity dependence of the short-circuit current density J_sc (J_sc∝I^α) and an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) value of 100 % at 2.95 eV because of their very short charge extraction path. In addition, the measured MEG threshold is 2.23 times the bandgap energy (E_g), which is the lowest value in PbS QD solar cells. We believe that this approach can provide a simple method to find suitable CQD materials and design interface engineering for MEG.     

Effect of an aliphatic spacer group on the adsorption mechanism on the colloidal silver surface of L‐proline phosphonodipeptides

A comparative study of molecular structures of five L ‐proline (L ‐Pro) phosphonodipeptides: L ‐Pro‐NH‐C(Me,Me)‐PO₃H₂ (P1), L ‐Pro‐NH‐C(Me,iPr)‐PO₃H₂ (P2), L ‐Pro‐L ‐NH‐CH(iBu)‐PO₃H₂ (P3), L ‐Pro‐L ‐NH‐CH(PA)‐PO₃H₂ (P4) and L ‐Pro‐L ‐NH‐CH(BA)‐PO₃H₂ (P5) has been carried out using Raman and absorption infrared techniques of molecular spectroscopy. The interpretation of the obtained spectra has been supported by density functional theory calculations (DFT) at the B3LYP; 6–31 + + G** level using Gaussian 2003 software. The surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) on Ag‐sol in aqueous solutions of these phosphonopeptides has also been investigated. The surface geometry of these molecules on a silver colloidal surface has been determined by observing the position and relative intensity changes of the Pro ring, amide, phosphonate and so‐called spacer (−R) groups vibrations of the enhanced bands in their SERS spectra. Results show that P4 and P5 adsorb onto the silver as anionic molecules mainly via the amide bond (∼1630, ∼1533, ∼1248, ∼800 and ∼565 cm⁻¹), Pro ring (∼956, ∼907 and ∼876 cm⁻¹) and carboxylate group (∼1395 and ∼909 cm⁻¹). Coadsorption of the imine nitrogen atom and PO group with the silver surface, possibly by formation of a weaker interaction with the metal, is also suggested by the enhancement of the bands at 1158 and 1248 cm⁻¹. P1, P2 and P3 show two orientations of their main chain on the silver surface resulting from different interactions of the  C CH₃,  NH and  CONH fragments with this surface. Bonding to the Ag surface occurs mainly through the imino atom (1166 cm⁻¹) for P2, while for P1 and P3 it occurs via the methyl group(s) (1194–1208 cm⁻¹). The amide group functionality (CONH) is practically not involved in the adsorption process for P1 and P2, whereas the C_s P bonds do assist in the adsorption.

Influence of Chemical Heterogeneity and Nanoscale Roughness on the DLVO Energy Interaction by Spherical Coordinates

In this work, the influence of chemical heterogeneity on the stability of nanocolloidal systems is surveyed with a new method. Zone of influence as a very important parameter for chemical patch surveying is modeled for sphere and flat surface. Surface chemical heterogeneity with specified properties, size, and position are created by spherical coordinate integration method. Rippled sphere model is used to create roughness and the flat surface is created by changing two sphere radius ratio. Using the spherical coordinate system for modeling of surface roughness and chemical heterogeneity is very accurate and fast. Results show that the patches could destabilize the colloidal system at very small sizes. Surface roughness reduces the effect of chemical patches for destabilizing the colloidal system, and with increasing the size of roughness the total DLVO energy interaction increases.     

In situ hydrazine reduced silver colloid synthesis – Enhancing SERS reproducibility

Herein we report a novel strategy for the in situ synthesis of the silver colloids for LoC-SERS applications. Silver nanoparticles are obtained in a segmented flow based glass microfluidic chip by the reduction of silver ions with hydrazine in ammonium hydroxide solution. Citrate ions are used as protecting agents. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by UV-VIS spectroscopy, SEM and TEM imaging. The SERS performance of the in situ synthesized nanoparticles is tested by using adenine as a test analyte right after the colloid synthesis. Reproducibility is tested by repeating the measurements three times at independent days applying the same measurement conditions. In comparison with nanoparticles synthesized in a conventional strategy i.e. in a large batch, chip synthesized nanoparticles show a better day-to-day and long-term reproducibility, lower detection limits and broader working ranges. The great advantage offered by the in situ synthesized colloids combined with the already proven potential of LoC-SERS for bioanalytics, raises the possibility of the employment of LoC-SERS as a fast and sensitive analytic tool in a plethora of applications.
