Investigation of gold nanorods as a sensing material in plasmonic sensor for triclopyr butotyl detection
Gold nanorods (GNRs) have a unique optical property of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) due to the localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, which depends on the size, shape and dielectric property of the surrounding medium. LSPR, or commonly known as the plasmonic effect, refers to the opt...

description |
Gold nanorods (GNRs) have a unique optical property of metal nanoparticles (MNPs)
due to the localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, which depends on the
size, shape and dielectric property of the surrounding medium. LSPR, or commonly
known as the plasmonic effect, refers to the optical phenomena resulting from the
interaction of free electrons on a nano-sized metal surface with incident light at
specific wavelengths. The plasmonic effect of rod-shaped nanoparticles shows dual
absorption bands corresponding to transverse surface plasmon resonance (t-SPR) and
longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (l-SPR). These two bands are sensitive to size
changes and the surrounding medium’s refractive index. In GNR formation, particles
size, homogeneity and shape are crucial elements to be investigated during the
synthesis process. Therefore, three parameters are studied in this research, which are
centrifugation speed, seed solution concentration and growth solution ageing period.
Through the variation of parameters during the synthesis procedure, the optimum
GNRs with a surface density of 74.81 %, an average length of 59.80 ± 0.53 nm and an
average width of 14.14 ± 0.19 nm produce an aspect ratio of 4.23 ± 0.36 via the seed�mediated growth method (SMGM). The optimum GNR sample is prepared by adding
10 µl of a seed solution into a raw growth solution and left undisturbed for 20 hours
and then centrifuged at a rotational speed of 5000 rpm. The optical spectrum from that
sample exhibits two plasmon bands at the transverse axis of 535.02 nm and the
longitudinal axis of 782.65 nm. For sensing application, the GNRs are used as a
sensing material to detect the targeted analyte, namely triclopyr butotyl
(Cଵଷ HଵClଷNOସ). The sensitivity, stability and repeatability of GNRs in deionized
water and triclopyr butotyl medium is studied by observing the changes in the
absorption intensity and the peak position of the plasmon resonance. The optical
response of 10 % triclopyr butotyl without GNRs shows no significant peaks and
proves that GNRs are able to increase the ability of detection through the plasmonic
effect. In sensitivity testing, it is found that the presence of triclopyr butotyl changes
the absorption intensity and shifts the resonance peak position of the GNRs. The vi
detection limit of GNRs is as low as 3 %. Furthermore, the GNRs depict good response
during 600 seconds of the stability test. Moreover, the fast response and recovery time
in the change of medium observed in five cycles show good repeatability of GNRs. |
