An Au@Ag nanocube based plasmonic nano-sensor for rapid detection of sulfide ions with high sensitivity

RSC Adv. 2018 Feb 2;8(11):5792-5796. doi: 10.1039/c7ra12779k.

Abstract

Based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) technology, a novel plasmonic nanosensor with high sensitivity and high selectivity was prepared for the detection of trace sulfide ions on an individual Au@Ag nanoparticle. Furthermore, it could be used to monitor the sulfurization on an individual Au@Ag nanoparticle surface observed under dark-field microscopy (DFM).
