Abstract
A simple, eco-friendly method for the synthesis of gold nanoflowers using a non-proteinogenic amino acid is discussed in the present work. Gold nanostructure with unique morphology was synthesized, with the assistance of ornithine amino acid. Ornithine-stabilised gold nanoflowers were found to be highly sensitive towards mercury ions (Hg2+) due to Au–Hg amalgamate formation. Due to amalgamate formation, an evolution in morphology of ornithine-stabilised gold nanoflowers happens which can be monitored by the red shift in surface plasmon resonance. Under optimum conditions, our sensor shows a dynamic response range with a detection limit of 6 nM. This developed nanosensor can be used as Hg2+ ion sensor in polluted water/waste water by a one-step assay protocol.
期刊介绍：
Gold Bulletin is the premier international peer reviewed journal on the latest science, technology and applications of gold. It includes papers on the latest research advances, state-of-the-art reviews, conference reports, book reviews and highlights of patents and scientific literature. Gold Bulletin does not publish manuscripts covering the snthesis of Gold nanoparticles in the presence of plant extracts or other nature-derived extracts. Gold Bulletin has been published over 40 years as a multidisciplinary journal read by chemists, physicists, engineers, metallurgists, materials scientists, biotechnologists, surface scientists, and nanotechnologists amongst others, both within industry and academia. Gold Bulletin is published in Association with the World Gold Council.
