We demonstrate the utilization of silver/gold nanocages (Ag/Au NCs) deposited onto transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) film glass as the basis of a reagentless, simple and inexpensive mercury probe. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak wavelength was located at ∼800 nm. By utilizing the redox reaction between Hg(2+) ions and Ag atoms that existed in Ag/Au NCs, the LSPR peak of Ag/Au NCs was blue-shifted. Thus, we develop an optical sensing probe for the detection of Hg(2+) ions. The LSPR peak changes were lineally proportional to the concentration of Hg(2+) ions over the range from 10 ppb to 0.5 ppm. The detection limit was ∼5 ppb. This plasmonic probe shows good selectivity and high sensitivity. The proposed optical probe is successfully applied to the sensing of Hg(2+) in real samples.
我们展示了将沉积在透明铟锡氧化物(ITO)薄膜玻璃上的银/金纳米笼(Ag/Au NCs)用作无试剂、简单且廉价的汞探针的基础。局域表面等离子体共振(LSPR)峰波长位于约800 nm处。通过利用Hg(2+)离子与Ag/Au NCs中存在的Ag原子之间的氧化还原反应,Ag/Au NCs的LSPR峰发生蓝移。因此,我们开发了一种用于检测Hg(2+)离子的光学传感探针。在10 ppb至0.5 ppm的范围内,LSPR峰的变化与Hg(2+)离子的浓度呈线性比例关系。检测限约为5 ppb。这种等离子体探针显示出良好的选择性和高灵敏度。所提出的光学探针已成功应用于实际样品中Hg(2+)的传感检测。
