Effect of nano-morphologies on catalysis and non-enzymatic glucose sensing
Source abstract
Abstract
The study primarily focuses on the optical/plasmonic attributes of diverse monometallic (gold) and bimetallic (Ag-Au) nanomaterial morphologies and their respective impacts on biological and catalytic applications. These nanomaterials were synthesized using two methods, seedless (resulting in gold nanospheres) and seed-mediated growth (yielding gold nanorods and nanostars), characterized using UV–Vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical quantification and the catalytic degradation of methylene blue were assessed for monometallic gold nanomaterials and bimetallic Ag-Au nanomaterials, employing cyclic voltammetry and UV–Visible spectroscopy. The electrochemical data, encompassing linear range, sensitivity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), as well as catalytic degradation parameters like percentage degradation and rate constants, unequivocally establish the superior efficiency of silver-gold bimetallic nanomaterials over monometallic counterparts. Notably, the ranking of sensitivity for synthesized glucose sensors was determined as follows: AuNS@Ag > AuNS > AuNR@Ag > AuNSt@Ag > AuNSt > AuNR.Graphical abstract
