Abstract

Colloidal silver nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized using fungi extract (Ganoderma lucidum) as a reducing and stabilizing agent are studied as a “substrate” for enhancement of Raman scattering (SERS) of analyte molecules. The NPs obtained are nearly spherical with a mean size of 20–30 nm, as proved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Close values of the hydrodynamic NPs size derived from DLS and the size of a bare silver part of the NP seen in SEM indicate that the passivating layer formed on the NP surface is only a few nm thick, making these NPs suitable for various applications involving both plasmonic enhancement and charge or energy transfer phenomena. The capability of plasmonic coupling is confirmed by a good SERS efficiency demonstrated for standard dye analytes (Rhodamine 6G, R6G, and crystal violet, CV). The charge transfer capability is proved by quenching of the R6G and CV fluorescence. In addition to the dependence of the SERS efficiency on the AgNP synthesis conditions, we discuss spectral effects that can be related to the adsorption geometry of the analyte molecule in a solution and a dried film. A comparable SERS efficiency being obtained for AgNPs synthesized in a broad range of pH values (5 to 11) enables a broad range of the molecules and processes, to which the obtained NPs can be applied.
