Enhanced optical properties of graphene oxide-Au nanocrystal composites

A simple strategy based on electrostatic interactions was utilized to assemble Au nanocrystals of various morphologies onto graphene oxide (GO). This method allows deposition of metal nanocrystals of different shapes onto GO. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of GO-Au nanocrystal composite...

Zusammenfassung:A simple strategy based on electrostatic interactions was utilized to assemble Au nanocrystals of various morphologies onto graphene oxide (GO). This method allows deposition of metal nanocrystals of different shapes onto GO. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of GO-Au nanocrystal composites have been examined. The extinction spectra of Au nanocrystals became broadened and red-shifted from the visible to the near IR upon formation of GO-Au nanocrystal composites. A more than 4-fold increase in two-photon excitation emission intensity was observed from the GO-Au nanocrystal composites compared to pure Au nanocrystals. The SERS signals of the composites were found to be strongly dependent on the morphology of Au nanocrystals, with SERS enhancement factors ranging from 9 to 20
