This study presents the development of a 3D plasmonic nanointerface to enhance the detection and sizing of single nanoparticles in real time using optical microfibers. The integration of Cu3-xP nanocrystals into a Cu-BTC framework and tuning the localized-surface plasmon resonance allows for the binding of target nanoparticles on the microfiber. By confining the resonance field on the microfiber with three dimensions, the sensor overcomes its sensitivity limit and enables the detection and sizing of individual nanoparticles.
Portable devices, which can detect and characterize the individual nanoparticles in real time, are of insignificant interest for early diagnosis, homeland security, semiconductor manufacturing and environmental monitoring. Optical microfibers present a good potential in this field, however, are restricted by the sensitivity limit. This study reports the development of a 3D plasmonic nanointerface, which is made of a Cu-BTC framework supporting Cu3-xP nanocrystals, enhancing the optical microfiber for real-time detection and sizing of single nanoparticles. The Cu3-xP nanocrystals are successfully embedded in the 3D Cu-BTC framework. The localized-surface plasmon resonance is tuned to coincide with the evanescent field of the optical microfiber. The 3D Cu-BTC framework, as the scaffold of nanocrystals, confines the local resonance field on the microfiber with three dimensions, at which the binding of target nanoparticles occurs. Based on the evanescent field confinement and surface enhancement by the nanointerface, the optical microfiber sensor overcomes its sensitivity limit, and enables the detection and sizing of the individual nanoparticles. The compact size and low optical power supply of the sensor confirm its suitability as a portable device for the real-time single-nanoparticle characterization, especially for the convenient evaluation of the ultrafine particles in the environment. This work opens up an approach to overcome the sensitivity limit of the optical microfibers, as long with stimulating the portable real-time single-nanoparticle detection and sizing.
