다양한 응용분야를 가진 국부적인 표면플라즈몬 공명 특성을 손쉽게 제어할 수 있는 기술 개발은 매우 중요하다. 또한, 금속 나노입자의 형태, 크기, 그리고 조합에 관한 세심한 조사는 공명특성과 금속 나노구조의 관계를 이해하는데 매우 유용하다. 본 논문은 블록공중합체 마이셀 박막필름으로부터 얻어진 금속나노입자 배열에 따른 국부적인 표면플라즈몬의 공명특성에 관한 연구이다. 우선 전통적인 방법의 블록공중합체 리소그라피를 통해 두 가지 다른, 점 형태 및 링 형태, 금 나노입자를 제조하였다. 그 다음 은거울 반응을 통하여 금 나노입자위에 은이 둘러 쌓이도록 금/은 이중금속 나노구조를 구현했다. 금속 나노 구조체 조절을 위해 에탄올 전처리, 은거울 반응 시간, 블록공중합체의 제거 유무 등의 공정변수를 변화시켰다. 초기 금 나노입자가 잘 제조된 경우 항상 금나노입자 표면에 적절히 은이 잘 형성되었고, 이는 UV-Vis 실험에서 각 금속나노 입자의 고유 플라즈몬 밴드인 금 525nm, 은 420nm에서 각각 나타났다. 하지만 최초 적은 양의 금 나노입자가 제조되었을 경우 은 도금 속도가 빨라져서, 초기 금 나노입자의 표면을 은이 완전히 덮었으며, 이는 UV-Vis 실험에서 금의 플라즈몬 밴드는 나타나지 않고, 은의 고유 플라즈몬 밴드만 420nm에서 나타났다. 블록공중합체로부터 미리 합성된 금나노입자 위에 은을 도금하는 방법은 국부적인 표면플라즈몬 특성을 면밀히 조사하는데 매우 유용하다.

The effect of polyoxometalate monolayers on the electrodeposition of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on glassy carbon (GC) surfaces was examined by electrochemical and scanning electron microscope techniques. The presence of $SiMo_{12}O^{4-}_{40}$-layers resulted in average particle sizes of ca. 60 nm, which is larger than AuNPs deposited on bare GC surfaces. AuNPs electrodeposited on $SiMo_{12}O^{4-}_{40}$-modified GC surfaces for 20 s exhibited the best electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction. This system exhibited similar or slightly better efficiency for oxygen reduction than a bare Au electrode. Rotating disk electrode experiments were also performed and revealed that the catalytic reduction of oxygen on AuNPs deposited on $SiMo_{12}O^{4-}_{40}$-modified GC electrodes is a two-electron process.

Core-shell structured nanoparticles are garnering attention because these nanoparticles are expected to have a wide range of applications. The objective of the present study is to improve the coating efficiency of gold shell formed on the surface of silica nanoparticles for $SiO_2@Au$ core-shell structure. For the efficient coating of gold shell, we attempt an in-situ synthesis method such that the nuclei of the gold nanoparticles are generated and grown on the surface of silica nanoparticles. This method can effectively form a gold shell as compared to the conventional method of attaching gold nanoparticles to silica particles. It is considered possible to form a dense gold shell because the problems caused by electrostatic repulsion between the gold nanoparticles in the conventional method are eliminated.

Through density functional theory calculations, to provide insight into the origins of the catalytic activity of Au nanoparticles (NPs) toward oxidation reactions, we have scrutinized the oxygen adsorption chemistry of 9 types of small unsupported Au NPs of around 1 nm in size (Au13, Au19, Au20, Au25, Au38, and Au55) looking at several factors (size, shape, and coordination number). We found that these NPs, except for the icosahedral Au13, do not strongly bind to $O_2$ molecules. Energetically most feasible $O_2$ adsorption that potentially provides high CO oxidation activity is observed in the icosahedral Au13, our smallest Au NP. In spite of the chemical inertness of bulk Au, the structural fluxionality of such very small Au NP enables strong $O_2$ adsorption. Our results can support recent experimental findings that the exceptional catalytic activity of Au NPs comes from very small Au species consisting of around 10 atoms each.

We report the catalytic activity of Au/$TiO_2$ and Pt/$TiO_2$ nanocatalysts under CO oxidation fabricated by arc plasma deposition (APD), which is a facile dry process with no organic materials involved. Using APD, the catalyst nanoparticles were well dispersed on $TiO_2$ powder with an average particle size (2~4 nm) well below that of nanoparticles prepared by the sol-gel method (10 nm). We found that the average particle size of the dispersed gold nanoparticles can be controlled by changing the plasma discharge voltage of APD. Accordingly, the amount of loaded gold on the $TiO_2$ powder increased with increasing discharge voltage, but the specific surface area of the Au/$TiO_2$ samples decreased. As for catalytic reactivity, Au/$TiO_2$ showed a higher catalytic activity than Pt/$TiO_2$ in CO oxidation. The catalytic activity of the Au/$TiO_2$ samples showed size dependence where higher catalytic activity occurred on smaller gold nanoparticles. The study suggests that APD is a simple way to fabricate catalytically active nanocatalysts.

The gold (LC-AuNPs) and silver (LC-AgNPs) nanoparticles were rapidly synthesized by fruit extract of Lycium chinense within 1.15 and 25 min respectively in an eco-friendly way. The synthesized nanoparticles confirmed by relevant surface plasmon resonance peaks for gold and silver nanoparticles at 536 and 480 nm, respectively. FE-TEM results revealed that LC-AuNPs were 20-50 nm and LC-AgNPs were 50-100 nm. The maximum distribution of gold, silver elements and the crystallographic nature of synthesized were confirmed using EDX, elemental mapping and XRD. LC-AgNPs showed inhibitory activity against pathogenic microorganisms such as E. coli and S. aureus, whereas LC-AuNPs did not show inhibitory activity. The LC-AgNps nanoparticles exhibited significant cytotoxicity to human breast cancer MCF7 cell line and less cytotoxicity to non-diseased RAW264.7 (murine macrophage) cells whereas LC-AuNps showed minimal toxicity to both cell lines. In-depth research on this rapid, facile and greenery nanoparticles may play a potential role in biomedical applications.

We prepared gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) by reduction-oxidation reaction between $HAuCl_4$ and trisodium citrate and measured the size and morphology of Au NPs by TEM for various molar ratios of $HAuCl_4$ to citrate and for various concentrations of $HAuCl_4$. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to characterize the optical properties of Au NPs. Au NPs in the size range from 14.3 nm to 20.3 nm were prepared with monodisperse distribution.

In this paper, we describe a new method for the selective extraction and quantification of glutathione (GSH) using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and maleimide-presenting gold nanoparticles (Mal-AuNPs). Our strategy utilizes the Michael addition to selectively extract GSH, from chosen samples, onto the maleimide of Mal-AuNPs. After the extraction step, the GSH bound to the AuNPs was analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS in the presence of an internal standard which was prepared by reacting Mal-AuNPs with isotope-labeled GSH ($GSH^*$). The $GSH^*$ has the same structure as GSH but a higher molecular weight, and therefore, enables absolute quantification of GSH by comparing the mass signal intensities of the GSH- and $GSH^*$-conjugated alkanethiols. Our strategy was verified by analyzing GSH-spiked fetal bovine serum and NIH 3T3 cells.

In this study, we fabricated hierarchically self-assembled thin films composed of graphene oxide (GO) sheets and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) techniques and investigated their gas-sensing performance. First, a thermally oxidized silicon wafer ($Si/SiO_2$) was hydrophobized by depositing the LB films of cadmium arachidate. Thin films of ligand-capped Au NPs and GO sheets of the appropriate size were then sequentially transferred onto the hydrophobic silicon wafer using the LB and the LS techniques, respectively. Several different films were prepared by varying the ligand type, film composition, and surface pressure of the spread monolayer at the air/water interface. Their structures were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and their gas-sensing performance for $NH_3$ and $CO_2$ was assessed. The thin films of dodecanethiol-capped Au NPs and medium-sized GO sheets had a better hierarchical structure with higher uniformity and exhibited better gas-sensing performance.

본 연구에서는 플라즈몬 공명 신호 증폭을 위한 AuNPs의 실리카 표면 개질 및 나노 입자의 안정적인 표면 박막 형성을 목표로 하였다. 직경 10 nm의 AuNPs를 수용액 상에서 제조하였으며, AuNPs 표면에 실리카 층을 단계별로 형성시켰다. Tetraethlyorthosilicate 농도를 조절함으로써 실리카 박막 두께를 조절하였으며, 얻어진 나노 입자들을 수용액 표면에 분산시켜 Langmuir-Blodgett 박막을 제조하였다. 흡광스펙트럼의 변화를 관찰함으로써 AuNPs의 크기 변화를 확인하였으며, 원자 힘 현미경으로 LB 박막의 형성 여부와 표면 균일도를 살펴보았다.
