In this study, we report a straightforward strategy for Hg2+ ion detection. Fluorescent Au nanoparticles (NPs) were one-pot synthesized using a polymer (polyvinyl pyrrolidone [PVP]) as both capping and fluorescence agent. The as-synthesized PVP-Au NPs showed a remarkably rapid response selectively for Hg2+ ions compared to 14 other metal ions. The detection limit of Hg2+ was estimated at 100 nM. We discuss the emission and quenching mechanism of the PVP-Au NPs, the former being attributed to metal enhanced fluorescence and the latter being related to static quenching by Hg2+. The fluorescence of PVP-Au NPs offers an efficient and reliable strategy for Hg2+ ions detection. They therefore have a great potential for applications in health and environmental monitoring.

The green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for catalytic and biological applications has been drawing great attention. To compare with plant extracts, the polysaccharides may be good reducing and stabilizing agents. In this work, we describe the preparation of longan polysaccharide stabilized gold nanoparticles (Aun-LP NPs) by reduction of gold ions using a green synthetic method. The formation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) was confirmed by UV-Vis spectra. TEM showed that Au NPs had a small size (7.8–15.6[Formula: see text]nm) and were highly dispersed without any aggregation. XPS confirmed that the surface elemental composition of Aun-LP NPs was C, O, and Au. DLS demonstrated that Aun-LP NPs had good stability and negative zeta potential. In addition, Aun-LP NPs had high catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. More importantly, Aun-LP NPs had ignorable cytotoxicity towards HeLa cells and showed good antioxidant activity. Taken together, the results indicated that longan polysaccharide can be used as reducing agents and stabilizers for the preparation of metallic nanoparticles, and the product had wide applications.

With the development of nanotechnology, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have attracted enormous attention due to their special properties. The green synthesis of Au NPs from lignin would inspire the utilization of lignin and its related functional materials. In this study, a rapid preparation process of Au NPs was investigated by utilizing lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) under room temperature without chemical addition. The LNPs acted as a reducing agent, stabilizing agent, and template for the preparation of LNPs@AuNPs. The obtained LNPs@AuNPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectrum, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The possible mechanism was illustrated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), 31P, XPS, and UV analyses. The abundant hydroxyl groups (24.96 mmol/g) favored the preparation of Au NPs. Au NPs diameters of 10–30 nm were well dispersed in the LNPs. The optimal reaction conditions were a ratio of 10 mg of LNPs to 0.05 mmol HAuCl4, room temperature, and a reaction time of 30 min. The LNPs@AuNPs exhibited excellent stability in the suspension for more than seven days. The reduction process could be related to the disruption of side chains of lignin, hydroxyl group oxidation, and hydroquinones and quinones from the comproportionation reaction. The LNPs@AuNPs would open a door for the design of Au NP/lignin-derived novel functional materials.
