Tracking Silver Nanoparticles during Their Synthesis by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry: Implications for Colorimetric Sensing of Mercury Ions
Abstract:Silver nanoplates have been used in the colorimetric
sensing of
analytes through various mechanisms. Herein, we proposed the use of
single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS)
for providing additional information on changes in nanoparticles during
the colorimetric sensing of analytes. The information on equivalent
spherical diameter and the number of particles obtained from SP-ICP-MS
was employed for tracking the changes in silver nanoparticles during
their synthesis process under … Show more
