研究目的
To develop a new method for fabricating GO@AuNRs hybrid by in-situ covalent synthesis using mercaptoethanol as a flexible bridge, aiming to achieve higher load rate, better stability, and ultrasensitive Raman detection capabilities.
研究成果
The in-situ covalent synthesis method successfully produces GO@AuNRs composites with uniform AuNRs (aspect ratio 3-8) covalently linked to GO, demonstrating high stability, yield, and ultrasensitive Raman detection with a LOD of 1×10?12 M for Rhodamine B. The flexible bridge chain enhances Raman signals by facilitating molecule insertion and reducing blinking effects, offering improvements over traditional methods.
研究不足
The study may have limitations in scalability for industrial applications, potential variability in nanorod aspect ratios under different conditions, and the need for further optimization to reduce aggregation and improve reproducibility. The method's applicability in biocompatible or medical contexts may be constrained by residual chemicals.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs an in-situ seed growth method to covalently link gold nanorods (AuNRs) to thiolated graphene oxide (GO-O-SH) surfaces, utilizing a flexible organic chain (mercaptoethanol) as a bridge to enhance homogeneity and stability.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Natural graphite powder is used to synthesize graphene oxide via a modified Hummers method; chemicals like HAuCl4, CTAB, and Rhodamine B are sourced from suppliers.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes SEM (S-3400), TEM (JEM-2100), FT-IR spectrometer (Nicolet AVATAR360), UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-1780), and Micro-Raman spectrometer (Ranishaw). Materials include graphite powder, sodium nitrate, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydroxide, epichlorohydrin, 2-mercaptoethanol, HAuCl4, CTAB, sodium borohydride, silver nitrate, hydroquinone, and Rhodamine B.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involves three steps: preparation of GO, synthesis of thiolated GO (GO-O-SH), and in-situ growth of AuNRs on GO using seed growth method with optimization of parameters like GO-SH/Au seed ratio and Au seed/HAuCl4 ratio. Raman enhancement is tested by mixing composites with Rhodamine B and analyzing with SERS.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data from UV-Vis, TEM, SEM, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy are analyzed to characterize the composites and evaluate Raman enhancement effects, with linear relationships and peak intensities assessed.
