Metal nanoparticles have potential utilities in biochemical sensing applications owing to their localized surface plasmon resonance characteristics. To facilitate the application of localized surface plasmon resonance sensors, a simple and effective interpretation of spectra responses of metal nanoparticles to analyte was developed in this paper. Based on a bilayer structure model and a trilayer structure model, a general relationship between the peak wavelength changes of extinction spectra and the thickness of the receptor layer as well as the analyte layer was established. Both analytical analysis and chloroform vapor test experiment demonstrate that the sensing performance is greatly dependent on the receptor thickness, and a thinner receptor layer will induce a greater sensitivity. These insights can be used as guidelines in fabricating highly sensitive localized surface plasmon resonance-based biochemical sensors.

ABSTRACTThe localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of noble metal nanoparticles has recently been the subject of extensive studies. Previously, it has been demonstrated that Ag nanotriangles that have been synthesized using nanosphere lithography (NSL) behave as extremely sensitive and selective chemical and biological sensors. The present work reveals information regarding the long range distance dependence of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of silver and gold nanoparticles. Multilayer adsorbates based on the interaction of HOOC(CH2)10SH and Cu2+ were assembled onto surface-confined nanoparticles. Measurement of the LSPR extinction peak shift versus number of layers and adsorbate thickness is non-linear and has a sensing range that is dependent on the composition, shape, in-plane width, and out-of-plane height of the nanoparticles. Theoretical modeling confirms and offers a mathematical interpretation of these results. These experiments indicate that the LSPR sensing capabilities of noble metal nanoparticles can be tuned to match the size of biological and chemical analytes by adjusting the aforementioned properties. The optimization of the LSPR nanosensor for a specific analyte will improve an already sensitive nanoparticle-based sensor.
