Synthesis of silver nanoparticles from bottom up approach on borophosphate glass and their applications as SERS, antibacterial and glass-based catalyst

Borophosphate glass as an active media for CuO nanoparticle growth: an efficient catalyst for selenylation of oxadiazoles and application in redox reactions

“…In this analysis, CuOnano@glass powder was spread on gold-coated double-sided carbon tape and analyzed using an acceleration voltage of 10 kV. The total content of copper on borophosphate glasses was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) using a Thermo Scientific iCap 6000 Series Spectrometer 2 using the Cu emission line at 324.754 nm (axial view).…”

“…Phosphate-based (borophosphate) glasses show remarkable characteristics including low processing temperatures, simple starting materials and high capacity to dissolve metal oxides 2 . In addition, they can be easily doped with copper or silver ions 2 , 3 . In particular, copper-doped borophosphate glass enables the synthesis of supported nanoparticles through annealing under a hydrogen atmosphere by a bottom-up process with high Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) activity 4 .…”

Self-supported nickel nanoparticles on germanophosphate glasses: synthesis and applications in catalysis

“…We have also evaluated their performance in catalysis, Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), and antibacterial applications. [5][6][7][8][9] Phosphate-based glasses can be obtained at relatively low temperature by melt-quenching technique using affordable chemical reagents (e.g., KH 2 PO 4 , P 2 O 5 , NaPO 3 or NaH 2 PO 4 ). In addition, this type of glass becomes even more interesting because it can be easily doped with transition metal ions, alkali, and rare earth oxides to provide the desired physical and/or chemical characteristics.…”

Direct Laser Annealing of Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrates

“…This makes it difficult to control the preparation conditions precisely, in particular, the closely packed nanoparticles can be produced only in a small range of the annealing temperatures. This not only reduces largely the reproducibility of the fabrication techniques, but also results in instability of the SERS substrates, where small‐gaped nanoparticles are mainly produced at lower annealing temperatures and difficult to control . Furthermore, heating by the excitation laser during the SERS measurements may even melt the small particles, change their morphology and consequently the plasmonic response of the metallic nanostructures.…”
