Surface-enhanced Raman scattering and photothermal effect of hollow Au nanourchins with well-defined cavities
Source abstract
Abstract
We have prepared genuinely hollow Au nanourchins (HANUs) using SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as hard templates. Ag-SiO2 NPs were fabricated via amine-assisted reduction. Then, Au nanourchins (ANUs) were synthesized by the galvanic replacement reaction of Ag-SiO2 NPs using l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) as a reductant and a capping agent. The silica cores of ANUs were etched using HF (aq) to produce HANUs. Measuring cross sections, we have found that HANUs have well-defined hollow morphologies. Compared with nanourchins made via DOPA-mediated reduction, HANUs hardly contain residual silver because very tiny silver seeds were used as the initiation sites of galvanic replacement. HANUs have revealed large surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement and a significant photothermal effect under a weak illumination.
