Abstract

We report the key role of the capping agent in the detection of metal cations using tannic acid (TA) capped gold nanoparticles at both ensembles (using cyclic voltammetry) and with individual particles (using oxidative and reductive nanoimpacts). The results show that the capping agent complexes with Zn2+ and Hg2+ in a reversible and Langmuirian manner in both cases. The sensitivity of detection is determined by the amount of capping agent present on the nanoparticles with similar values seen for both oxidation and reduction reactions. The optimisation of the capping agent loading is therefore key to metal ion detection.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
