Substrates with Discretely Immobilized Silver Nanoparticles for Ultrasensitive Detection of Anions in Water Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

Abstract: Positively charged silver nanoparticles, Ag [+], obtained by UV-assisted reduction of silver nitrate using branched poly(ethyleneimine) (BPEI) and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) solutions as reducing agents, were immobilized on glass surfaces to produce substrates active in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Negatively charged silver nanoparticles, Ag [-], synthesized via a modified citrate reduction method, were also investigated for comparison. At a sparse surface coverage … Show more

“…Namely, ions such as I À have a strong "salting-in" effect, so that the metal NPs requires a lower energy barrier for the oxidation. [25] This observation is consistent with the proposed electrochemical reaction of Ag NPs during oxidative DPV in the presence of halide ions (X À ), in general, as Ag +…”

“…When using colloidal nanoparticles as the SERS substrate, the overall SERS spectrum for an analyte can arise from a composite of interactions, some of which include the formation of charge-transfer states for adsorbed molecules on metal surfaces, the potentiation of analyte signaling by small molecules and nanoparticle aggregation (Aroca et al, 2005). Anions, and halides in particular, have been shown to both enhance the SERS spectrum associated with analyte detection and contribute unique spectral peak signatures by displacing citrate from citrate-stabilized nanoparticles in accordance with their equilibrium binding constants with Au + or Ag + (Bell and Sirimuthu, 2005;Maryuyama and Futamata, 2007;Tan et al, 2008). Although less well understood, cation-induced enhancements of SERS responses have also been reported (i.e.…”

“…From the results we can find that bPEI/PAA and bPEI/(PAA-GE) multilayer polyelectrolyte film both present characteristic bands at 2120 cm −1 and 1095 cm −1 . The sharp band at about 2120 cm −1 corresponds to stretching vibrations of CN bond [23]. The weaker bands at about 1095 cm −1 are due to flexural vibrations of NH 2 bond [24].…”
