A gold-silver alloy film based spectral surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) sensor has been prepared for in-situ quantitative detection of biochemical analytes at the sensor surface. This novel sensor has lower detection cost yet higher sensitivity relative to the conventional counterpart with a gold film. Using the laboratory-made multifunctional SPR sensing platform, both the resonant color images and the resonant spectra for the Au-Ag alloy film were measured at different incident angles. The quantitative relationship between the resonant wavelength and the average hue of corresponding resonant color image was established. With this relationship the most hue-sensitive spectral range was determined. After setting the initial resonant wavelength in the hue-sensitive spectral range, the refractive-index sensitivity of the Au-Ag alloy film based SPRi sensor was measured as Δhue/Δnc = 29,879/RIU, being 8 times higher than that obtained with the gold-film SPRi sensor. The immunodetection of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) in water was fulfilled using the Au-Ag alloy film based SPRi sensor. The average hue of the SPR color image linearly increases with increasing the BaP concentration up to C = 0.5 μg/L and the slope is Δhue/ΔC = 132.2/(μg/L). The sensor is responsive to a change of BaP concentration as low as ΔC = 0.01 μg/L.

In this work we investigated the optical and electrical properties of Au-Ag nanoalloys in various volume ratios. The nanoparticles have been prepared from gold and silver ions reduced by direct irradiation femtosecond laser. The samples were added into a quartz cuvette and irradiated for 10 minutes. Each sample was observed the optical property where surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak was existed. In addition, electrical conductivity of the colloids was derived from the measurement of the correspond zeta potential by dynamic light scattering (DLS) method. The results showed that the SPR peak of Au-Ag nanoalloy were shifted almost linearly in between 409 nm for Ag and 530 nm for Au depending on their volume fraction. The conductivity measurement showed that Au0Ag100 (pure Ag) nanoparticles has the highest value and Au100Ag0 (pure Au) nanoparticles has the lowest value, and interestingly, Au-Ag nanoalloys have the values between Au0Ag100 and Au100Ag0. Briefly, this work revealed that both optical and electrical properties of Au-Ag nanoalloys can be easily tuned by regulating the volume fraction between the two elements.
