Combination of Capped Gold Nanoslit Array and Electrochemistry for Sensitive Aqueous Mercuric Ions Detection.

ABSTRACT: Label-free surface plasmon resonance (SPR) detection of mercuric ions in various aqueous solutions, using capped gold nanoslit arrays combined with electrochemical (EC) sensing technique, is demonstrated. The nanoslit arrays are fabricated on flexible cyclo-olefin polymer substrates by a nanoimprinting lithography method. The EC and SPR signals for the investigation of current responses and transmission SPR spectra are simultaneously measured during metal ions electrodeposition. Glycerol-water solution is studied to evaluate the resonant peak wavelength sensitivity (480.3 nm RIU-1) with a FOM of 40.0 RIU-1 and the obtained intensity sensitivity is 1819.9%. The ferrocyanide/ferricyanide redox couple performs the diffusion controlled electrochemical processes (R2 = 0.99). By investigating th
