Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Plasmonics
  • Chemical Sensing

Background:

  • Gold nanostars exhibit tunable optical properties and strong electromagnetic field enhancement at their tips.
  • Plasmonic sensors require large, uniformly immobilized nanoparticle areas and mechanical flexibility for practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply gold nanostar monolayers on flexible substrates for ultrasensitive molecular identification.
  • To evaluate the performance of these substrates for localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of gold nanostar monolayers onto transparent, flexible polydimethylsiloxane substrates.
  • Characterization of substrate refractive index sensitivity and SERS performance.
  • Demonstration of LSPR-based sensing of mercaptoundecanoic acid and SERS-based pesticide detection on fruit skin.

Main Results:

  • Gold nanostar monolayers on flexible substrates demonstrated high refractive index sensitivity.
  • Effective ultrasensitive detection of mercaptoundecanoic acid via LSPR.
  • Successful SERS-based pesticide detection on fruit surfaces using backside excitation through the transparent substrate.

Conclusions:

  • Flexible gold nanostar substrates are suitable for ultrasensitive molecular sensing using LSPR and SERS.
  • The developed substrates offer practical advantages for real-world applications, such as food safety monitoring.
  • Transparency and flexibility of the substrates facilitate simplified and practical implementation of sensing techniques.
