چکیده

Metal nanocrystals are commonly used to mediate important chemical reactions such as water splitting and CO oxidation. To investigate such redox reactions in detail, it would be useful to be able to carry out electrochemistry on single metal nanocrystals. We report here that the surface plasmon resonance of a single gold nanocrystal can be reversibly and rapidly tuned by tens of nanometers electrochemically. The spectral shifts are more sensitive for elongated morphologies such as rods and lead to color changes perceptible by eye.

Optical monitoring of faradaic reaction using single plasmon-resonant nanorods functionalized with graphene.

Real-time optical monitoring of the electron-transfer process was achieved and modulated on individual gold nanoparticles functionalized with graphene. We found that charge accumulation on single gold nanorods (GNRs) depends on the rate of Faradaic reaction, which is synchronized with double-layer charging.

Gold Nanorod Enhanced Fluorescence Enables Single-Molecule Electrochemistry of Methylene Blue.

Redox reactions are central to energy conversion and life metabolism. Herein we present electrochemical measurements with fluorescent readout of the redox-sensitive dye Methylene Blue (MB), at the single-molecule (SM) level. To overcome the low fluorescence quantum yield of MB we enhanced fluorescence by using individual gold nanorods to achieve the required sensitivity. By measuring the same m...

Quantized double layer charging of Au130(SR)50 nanomolecules.

Quantized double layer (QDL) charging of a Au130(SR)50 nanomolecule is reported for the first time. In the past, QDL charging was known only for Au144(SR)60 and Au225(SR)75 nanomolecules, which intrigued much research in this field. Here, using differential pulse voltammetry, we demonstrate that Au130 shows QDL charging. Furthermore, 13 different oxidation-reduction waves corresponding to singl...

Immunosensor Incorporating Anti-His (C-term) IgG F(ab’) Fragments Attached to Gold Nanorods for Detection of His-Tagged Proteins in Culture Medium

Immunosensors based on gold electrodes (electrochemical) or gold discs (optical) modified with 1,6-hexanedithiol, gold nanorods and Anti-His (C-term) monoclonal antibody F(ab') fragment are described. The antigen detected by the sensing platform is a recombinant histidine-tagged silk proteinase inhibitor (rSPI2-His(6)). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and surface plasmon resonance ...
