研究目的
Investigating the modulation of plasmonic signatures of gold nanoparticles through fine-tuning of surface roughness using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and various metal precursors.
研究成果
The surface of pre-formed pseudo spherical gold nanoparticles was successfully modified with the addition of Ag+, Cu2+, Pt3+ salts, as confirmed by changes in the optical spectra and TEM images. The derived dephasing time and Q-factor quantitatively describe the surface roughness introduced by the metal salts.
研究不足
The study is limited to the use of PVP as a reducing and capping agent and does not explore other polymers or reducing agents. The TEM images confirm surface modification but further studies like XRD, EDS, XPS are needed for a comprehensive understanding.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
