Gold Nanoparticle Aggregates Preparation by (3-aminpopropyl)- Trimethoxysilane for Highly Active SERS Substrates

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple preparation method of gold nanoparticle aggregates for highly active surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is developed by adding APS to gold sol under vigorous magnetic stirring. The optical and morphological properties of these aggregates are examined by UV-vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. It is found that the SERS activity of the new synthesized gold nanoparticle aggregates is about 200 higher than that of single gold nanoparticles with Rhodamine 6G(R6G) probe.
