The Fabrication of Stable Gold Nanoparticle-Modified Interfaces for Electrochemistry

Abstract: Forming stable gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-modified surface is important for a number of applications including sensing and electrocatalysis. Herein, tethering AuNPs to glassy carbon (GC) surfaces using surface bound diazonium salts is investigated as a strategy to produce stable AuNP surfaces. GC electrodes are first modified with 4-aminophenyl (GC-Ph-NH(2)), and then the terminal amine groups are converted to diazonium groups by incubating the GC-Ph-NH(2) interface in NaNO(2) and HCl solution to form a 4-phenyl… Show more

“…As shown in Figure 6, the Ru(NH 3 ) 6 3 + redox signal is almost completely suppressed by the ITO-Ar-NH 2 surface. However, the electrochemical reactivity of Ru(NH 3 ) 6 3 + is recovered after the covalent attachment of AuNPs meaning the electronic conduction pathway between the AuNPs and the ITO substrate is efficient, and reinforcing our previous studies [10].…”

“…This molecule possesses two amines that can be converted to aryl diazonium salts. It can be used to modify the electrode and anchor the particles with covalent linkages [10]. The ITO electrodes were first modified with the 4-phenylenediamine by in situ diazotization of one of the two amino groups.…”

“…The use of electroreduction of aryl diazonium salts provides higher stability with respect to long-term storage in air, potential use in cyclic voltammetry under acidic conditions, and a wider potential window for subsequent electrochemistry [25]. Diazonium salt molecules, modified with various functional groups, have been used for the immobilization of nanoparticles [26], DNA [27], enzymes [28], carbon nanotubes [29,30], proteins, antibodies and electroactive species [31][32][33][34] on GC, Si, and Au surfaces. Moreover, applying an electrochemical potential to the specific electrode (chip) allows biomolecule immobilization which should be compatible with the production of biochip microarrays for multidetection.…”

“…As shown in Figure 1, the characteristic phosphorus peak which is present in the pristine films of 1 disappears after the annealing and subsequent rinsing process, indicating that the triphenylphosphine (PPh 3 ) group of 1 is lost after the thermal treatment. In addition, the Au4f region for the film after the annealing process shows two peaks at 83.81 and 87.48 eV, attributable to Au(0) [24][25][26] whilst the pristine monolayer shows two intense peaks at 85.04 and 88.74 eV, attributable to Au(I), [27][28] and two weaker peaks at 83.88 and 87.56 eV attributable to Au(0) that is probably formed during the irradiation process necessitated for recording the XPS spectrum.…”
