  • Title: Highly sensitive SERS detection of Hg2+ ions in aqueous media using gold nanoparticles/graphene heterojunctions.
    Author: Ding X, Kong L, Wang J, Fang F, Li D, Liu J.
    Journal: ACS Appl Mater Interfaces; 2013 Aug 14; 5(15):7072-8. PubMed ID: 23855919.
    Abstract:
    Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) heterojunctions were synthesized directly on SiO2/Si substrates via a seed-assisted growth process. The in situ chemical fabrication strategy has been proven to be quite simple and efficient for generating highly active surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates due to synergistic enhanced protocol from rGO and AuNPs. The SERS substrates with AuNPs/rGO heterojunctions have been utilized for trace analysis of mercury(II) ions via thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine coordination. Thereby, very low limits of detection, i.e., 0.1 nM or 20 ppt for Hg(2+), can be achieved in contrast with some other SERS subsrtates, which suggests that the heterojunctions are appropriate as versatile surface-enhanced substrates applied in chemical sensing or biosensing.
