Effect of Gold Nanoparticles Size on Detection of Methylphosphonic Acid Hydrolysis Product of Nerve Agent
Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment(2021)
摘要
Citrate reduction of gold (III) chloride trihydrate (HAuCl4) is commonly used method to synthesise citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (cit-AuNPs). In this study, the sequence of reagents addition was modified (“inverse” method) to synthesise smaller size of cit-AuNPs than the standard Turkevich method (“direct” method). Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM) confirmed the formation of cit-AuNPs. The cit-AuNPs synthesized using “inverse” method are smaller in size (14.0 ± 3.03 nm) with uniform spherical shape compared to “direct” method (23.5 ± 7.52 nm). Smaller particles size of cit-AuNPs provide higher efficiency and sensitivity for detection of methylphosphonic acid (MPA) via colorimetric incorporated with image processing with a linear range from 2.5 to 12.5 mM and a low detection limit of 6.28 mM at shorter detection period (24 to 30 s).
