Surface-plasmon-enhanced optical formaldehyde sensor based on CdSe@ZnS quantum dots
摘要： For the first time, a reproducible surface-plasmon-enhanced optical sensor for the detection of gaseous formaldehyde was proposed by depositing the mixture of CdSe@ZnS quantum dots (QDs), fumed silica (FS) and gold nanoparticles (GNs) on the surface of silica spheres array to meet the urgent requirement of a rapid, sensitive, and highly convenient formaldehyde detection method. Due to the spectra overlap between QDs and GNs, plasmon-enhanced fluorescence was observed in the film of QDs/FS/GNs. When exposing to formaldehyde molecules, the enhanced fluorescence was quenched linearly with the increase of formaldehyde concentration in the range of 0.5-2.0 ppm. The reason is attributed to the nonradiative electron transfer from QDs to the carbonyl of formaldehyde molecules with the assistance of amino groups. Our results demonstrate that the designed sensors are capable of detecting ultralow concentration gaseous formaldehyde at room temperature with a fast response-recovery time, excellent selectivity, stability and reproducibility. This work provides a simple and low-cost approach for optical formaldehyde sensor fabrication and shows promising applications in environmental detection.

Controllably prepared molecularly imprinted core-shell plasmonic nanostructure for plasmon-enhanced fluorescence assay
摘要： Plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) is an emerging technology for sensitive detection. It relies on the plasmonic effect of a noble metal nanostructure to dramatically enhance the fluorescence of target fluorophores around the metal surface. Because there is a compromise between plasmonic enhancement and florescence quenching, it is critical to control the distance between the fluorophore and the metal surface to an appropriate range. This makes the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures for PEF assays a challenging task. Herein, we report a controllably prepared core-shell plasmonic nanostructure coated with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for sensitive and specific PEF assay. Riboflavin (RF) was used as a test compound in this study. RF-imprinted Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared in a controllable manner, providing an optimal distance between the metal surface and RF molecules. The obtained hybrid nanostructure allowed for sensitive detection and specific recognition towards the target. Based on the plasmonic hybrid nanostructure, a sensitive and specific PEF assay of RF was developed and successfully applied to the determination of RF in human urine. Thus, the study paved the way for controllable preparation of molecularly imprinted plasmonic nanostructures for sensitive and specific PEF assays.

Plasmon-Enhanced Fluorescence in Gold Nanorod-Quantum Dot Coupled Systems
摘要： Plasmon-exciton coupling is of great importance to many optical devices and applications. One of the coupling manifestations is plasmon-enhanced fluorescence. Although this effect is demonstrated in numerous experimental and theoretical works, there are different particle shapes for which this effect is not fully investigated. In this work electrostatic complexes of gold nanorods and CdSe/CdZnS quantum dots were studied. Double-resonant gold nanorods have an advantage of the simultaneous enhancement of the absorption and emission when the plasmon bands match the excitation and fluorescence wavelengths of an emitter. A relationship between the concentration of quantum dots in the complexes and the enhancement factor was established. It was demonstrated that the enhancement factor is inversely proportional to the concentration of quantum dots. The maximal fluorescence enhancement by 10.8 times was observed in the complex with the smallest relative concentration of 2.5 quantum dots per rod and approximately 5 nm distance between them. Moreover, the influence of quantum dot location on the gold nanorod surface plays an important role. Theoretical study and experimental data indicate that only the position near the nanorod ends provides the enhancement. At the same time, the localization of quantum dots on the sides of the nanorods leads to the fluorescence quenching.
