The optical properties of non-functionalized silver nanoparticles in ethanol solution have been analyzed and a progressive shift of localized surface plasmon resonances caused by the adding of increasing quantities of glucose has been observed. To understand this occurrence, the interaction of glucose molecules with the silver nanoparticle surface has been investigated using Raman spectroscopy. In addition, high resolution transmission electron microscopy shows the presence of superstructures on the silver nanoparticle surface that can be imputed to the presence of glucose.

Abstract
The optical properties of non-functionalized silver nanoparticles in ethanol solution have been analyzed and a progressive shift of localized surface plasmon resonances caused by the adding of increasing quantities of glucose has been observed. To understand this occurrence, the interaction of glucose molecules with the silver nanoparticle surface has been investigated using Raman spectroscopy. In addition, high resolution transmission electron microscopy shows the presence of superstructures on the silver nanoparticle surface that can be imputed to the presence of glucose.File in questo prodotto:
