- Abstract
- In this work, we describe the role of ligand chemistry on the surfaces of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) for tuning their analytical applications. The citrate and melamine (MA) molecules were used as ligands for the surface modification of Ag NPs. The addition of Cr3+ ion in citrate-Ag NPs (Cit-Ag NPs) and of Hg2+ ion in melamine-Ag NPs (MA-Ag NPs) cause Ag NPs aggregation, and are accompanied by a color change and a red-shift. The resulting distinctly visual readouts are favorable for colorimetric detection of Cr3+ and Hg2+ ions. Under optimal conditions, the linear ranges are observed in the concentration ranges of 1.0-50.0 and of 10.0-100.0 mu M, and with detection limit of 0.52 and 1.80 pM for Cr3+ and Hg2+ ions. The simultaneous detection of Cr3+ and Hg2+ ion is driven by the changing the ligand chemistry on the surfaces of Ag NPs that allows to tune their specific interactions with target analytes. Finally, the functionalized Ag NPs were successfully applied to detect Cr3+ and Hg2+ ions in water samples with satisfactory recoveries. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
