| Abstract: | We have developed a method for the colorimetric determination of copper ions (Cu2+) that is based on the use of silver-coated gold nanorods (Au@Ag NRs). Its outstanding selectivity and sensitivity result from the catalytic leaching process that occurs between Cu2+, thiosulfate (S2O3 2?), and the surface of the Au@Ag NRs. The intrinsic color of the Au@Ag NRs changes from bright red to bluish green with decreasing thickness of the silver coating. The addition of Cu2+ accelerates the leaching of silver from the shell caused in the presence of S2O3 2?. This result in a decrease in the thickness of the silver shell which is accompanied a change in color and absorption spectra of the colloidal solution. The shifts in the absorption maxima are linearly related to the concentrations of Cu2+ over the 3–1,000 nM concentration range (R?=?0.996). The method is cost effective and was applied to the determination of Cu2+ in real water samples. A facile and sensitive colorimetric strategy for the sensing of Cu2+ based on catalytic leaching of silver coated gold nanorods, Au@Ag NRs |
