研究目的
To develop a novel strategy for fabricating plasmonic color-switchable silver nanoparticle (AgNP) films that can rapidly and reversibly switch color in response to moisture, overcoming the limitations of current methods that are mainly limited to solution phases.
研究成果
The developed plasmonic color-switchable AgNP films exhibit rapid and reversible color-switching in response to moisture, with no decay in activity after 1000 cycles. This innovation holds high potential for applications in anti-counterfeiting, product authentication, and colorimetric real-time environment or health monitoring.
研究不足
The study focuses on the use of AgNPs and the specific mechanism involving sodium borate and PAA, which may limit the applicability to other materials or mechanisms. The environmental conditions, such as humidity levels, also play a critical role in the performance of the plasmonic color-switching.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study integrates a humidity-sensitive salt hydrolysis reaction with the charge-dependent assembly/disassembly of plasmonic nanoparticles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were used as the plasmonic material, with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) as the capping ligand and sodium borate as the humidity-sensitive medium.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A glass substrate was coated with a sodium borate layer, and a suspension of AgNP assemblies was sprayed on top to form the film.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The AgNP film's color-switching was triggered by exposure to moisture, with the process monitored using UV/Vis spectroscopy, Raman, and FTIR measurements.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The plasmonic color-switching was analyzed through changes in the extinction spectra and the characterization of chemical changes using Raman and FTIR spectroscopy.
