有一种 monodisperse 尺寸和方面比率的高质量的金 nanorods (NR ) 为许多应用是必要的。这里,我们描述 monodisperse 金牌 NR 怎么将近能用密度坡度 ultracentrifugation 与 polydisperse 样品被分开。由传播电子显微镜学(TEM ) 和吸收光谱学的尺寸和尺寸分析表明 Au NR 主要作为他们的方面比率的功能被分开。散布的提高表面的拉曼(重量的单位) 有更低的方面比率的 Au NR 的活动是比有在 633 nm 激光刺激下面的更高的方面比率的 NR 的尤其是强壮的,由于纵的电浆子乐队的尺寸依赖者吸收。分离途径提供一个方法改进大规模生产的 NR 的质量合成方法。
High quality gold nanorods (NRs) with a monodisperse size and aspect ratio are essential for many applications. Here, we describe how nearly monodisperse gold NRs can be separated from polydisperse samples using density gradient ultracentrifugation. Size and dimension analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and absorption spectroscopy revealed that the Au NRs were separated mainly as a function of their aspect ratio The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity of Au NRs with lower aspect ratio is notably stronger than that of NRs with higher aspect ratio under 633 nm laser excitation, due to the size-dependent absorption of the longitudinal plasmon band. The separation approach provides a method to improve the quality of NRs produced by large scale synthetic methods.
