We have developed a new method for synthesizing plasmonic gold nanoparticles in a bio-compatible medium. The nanoparticles obtained are stable and exhibit a small size distribution. They can serve as SERS substrates and do not show significant antibacterial activity in bio-applications.
We report a new pathway for the synthesis of plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in a bio-compatible medium. A modified room temperature approach based on the standard Turkevich synthesis, using sodium citrate as a reducing and stabilizing agent, results in a highly stable colloidal suspension of Au NPs in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The mean NP size of about 15 nm with a fairly low size distribution is revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The stability test through UV-vis absorption spectroscopy indicates no sign of aggregation for months. The Au NPs are also characterized by X-ray photoelectron, Raman scattering, and FTIR spectroscopies. The stabilisation mechanism of the Au NPs in DMSO is concluded to be similar to that of NPs synthesized in water. The Au NPs obtained in this work are applicable as SERS substrates, as proved by common analytes. In terms of bio-applications, they do not possess such side-effects as pronounced antibacterial activity, based on the tests performed on non-pathogenic Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria.
