Catalytic gold nanostars for SERS-based detection of mercury ions (Hg<sup>2+</sup>) with inverse sensitivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold nanostars (AuNSt) amalgamated with mercury ions (Hg 2+ ) results in reduced SERS performance whilst their enzyme-mimicking capability is not deteriorated, thus providing a basis for Hg detection inverse sensitivity.

Intracellular mapping with SERS-encoded gold nanostars.
Here we report on the design, synthesis and application of small, highly bright, star-shaped SERS encoded single nanoparticles with the ability of providing an optical signal upon excitation with near infrared light. These particles are colloidally stable, fully biocompatible and can be internalized into living cells for intracellular imaging.
متن کاملDistribution of Silica-Coated Silver/Gold Nanostars in Soft- and Hardwood Applying SERS-Based Imaging.
Nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous suspension have just begun to be exploited for the preservative treatment of wood. However, at present, there is very little information available on the distribution of NPs in wood after impregnation, due to associated analytical challenges. In this study, we present the detection of model NPs in softwood and hardwood by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)...
متن کاملMercury(ii) detection by SERS based on a single gold microshell.
We have devised a unique method for sensitive and selective detection of Hg(2+) ions using DNA-modified gold microshells which can be individually manipulated using a micropipette and act as a micro SERS probe for analysis in small sample volumes.
متن کاملGold Nanowire Forests for SERS Detection**
Simple wet chemistry has been applied to control the vertical growth of gold nanowires on a glass substrate. As a consequence, the longitudinal localized surface plasmon band position can be tuned from 656 to 1477 nm in a few minutes by simply controlling the growth rate and time. This allowed us to select the optimum conditions for maximum electromagnetic enhancement and performance in surface...
متن کاملCatalytic and molecular beacons for amplified detection of metal ions and organic molecules with high sensitivity.
The catalytic beacon has emerged as a general platform for sensing metal ions and organic molecules. However, few reports have taken advantage of the true potential of catalytic beacons in signal amplification through multiple enzymatic turnovers, as existing designs require either equal concentrations of substrate and DNAzyme or an excess of DNAzyme in order to maintain efficient quenching, el...
