Design A Friendly Nanoscale Chemical Sensor Based On Gold Nanoclusters For Detecting Thiocyanate Ions In Food Industry Applications, Reham Ali, Sayed M Saleh

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) induces the aggregation of gold nanoclusters (GNCs), leading to the development of a proposed fluorometric technique for detecting thiocyanate (SCN-) ions based on an anti-aggregation mechanism. This approach is straightforward to execute, highly sensitive, and selective. A significant quenching effect occurs in fluorescence upon using the aggregation agent CTAB in GNCs synthesis, resulting in a transition from intense red fluorescence to dim red. The decrease in fluorescence intensity of GNCs in the presence of CTAB is caused by the mechanism of fluorescence quenching mediated by aggregation. As the levels of SCN- rise, the fluorescence of …
