Thiram plays a critical role in protecting fruits and vegetables from damage by various crop diseases, but its residues significantly affect the environment, such as soil and water pollution, and becoming a serious threat to human health. Herein, Tween 80-capped copper nanoparticles (Tween 80-CuNPs) were developed as a convenient and low-cost colorimetric probe for selective detection of thiram pesticide. In the presence of thiram, the color of Tween 80-capped CuNPs changed from dark brown to olive green and colorless at high thiram concentrations. The Tween 80-capped CuNPs-based colorimetric probe exhibited good selectivity and high sensitivity (LOD about 0.17 μM) with a high linearity level in the calibration range of 0.5–25 μM of thiram concentrations. The thiram limit of detecti... |
In this study, we have developed, for the first time, a colorimetric and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) dual-mode sensing platform for sensitive amoxicillin (AMX) detection by employing electrochemically-synthesized copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and copper-graphene oxide (Cu-GO) nanocomposites with low cost and high purity. The obtained results revealed that Cu-GO-based colorimetric nanosensor exhibited high sensitivity with AMX antibiotics in a linear working range from 5 to 50 µM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.71 µM, which was 1.3 times lower than that of CuNPs-based colorimetric nanosensor (2.17 µM). More interestingly, Cu-GO-based SERS nanosensor has a linear range from 0.01 to 1000 µM and a LOD value ∼x223C 0.0012 µM, which was ∼x223C 13 times lower than CuNPs-ba... |
In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were functionalized by various molecules, including sodium borohydride (NaBH4), polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride (PHMB), and Tween 80 to investigate the long-term stabilization of AgNPs in an aqueous dispersion. PHMB-functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs/PHMB) exhibited better stability than others and could be stored at ambient temperature for at least 180 days. In addition to creating stabilization based on the electrostatic repulsion, the use of PHMB helped to increase the degree of stability of the colloidal AgNPs for a long time owing to strong interactions between Ag atoms on AgNPs with nitrogen (N) positions in PHMB molecules. .e formed bond led to improving maintenance ability of the electrostatic repulsion layer amon... |
