研究目的
Investigating the localized surface plasmon resonance-induced welding of gold nanotriangles and their local plasmonic properties for multicolor sensing and light harvesting applications.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the site-selective welding of gold nanotriangles through localized surface plasmon resonance, leading to the formation of electromagnetically continuous nanostructures. This method allows for the modulation of plasmonic properties, including the creation of new plasmon modes at the welding sites, which has potential applications in multicolor sensing and light harvesting devices.
研究不足
The study's limitations include the dependence of the welding rate on the initial placement of nanoparticles on the substrate and the challenge of controlling the assembly manner and size of the welded AuNTs. Additionally, the mechanism behind the site-selective welding requires further exploration to fully understand the role of plasmonically enhanced hot electrons.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of gold nanotriangles (AuNTs) using a seed-mediated growth method, followed by their characterization through TEM, SEM, and optical absorption spectroscopy. The welding of AuNTs was induced by continuous light illumination, and the resulting nanostructures were analyzed using STEM-EELS to study their plasmonic properties. Theoretical simulations using the boundary element method were conducted to support the experimental findings.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
AuNTs were synthesized and formed into a self-assembled monolayer on a glass substrate. The samples were then illuminated with light of specific wavelengths to induce welding.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a xenon lamp for illumination, TEM and SEM for imaging, and a UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer for optical absorption measurements. Materials included gold salts, CTAC, NaBH4, and PVP for the synthesis and coating of AuNTs.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis of AuNTs, their self-assembly into monolayers, light-induced welding, and subsequent characterization through various microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis of EEL spectra and maps to identify plasmon modes, supported by simulations using the boundary element method.
