Water soluble organic molecular pollution endangers human life and health. It becomes necessary to develop highly stable noble metal nanoparticles without aggregation in solution to improve their catalytic performance in treating pollution. Polyethyleneimine (PEI)-based stable micelles have the potential to stabilize noble metal nanoparticles due to the positive charge of PEI. In this study, we synthesized the amphiphilic PEI-oleic acid molecule by acylation reaction. Amphiphilic PEI-oleic acid assembled into stable PEI-oleic acid micelles with a hydrodynamic diameter of about 196 nm and a zeta potential of about 34 mV. The PEI-oleic acid micelles-stabilized palladium nanoparticles (PO-PdNPsn) were prepared by the reduction of sodium tetrachloropalladate using NaBH4 and the palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) were anchored in the hydrophilic layer of the micelles. The prepared PO-PdNPsn had a small size for PdNPs and good stability in solution. Noteworthily, PO-PdNPs150 had the highest catalytic activity in reducing 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) (Knor = 18.53 s−1mM−1) and oxidizing morin (Knor = 143.57 s−1M−1) in aqueous solution than other previous catalysts. The enhanced property was attributed to the improving the stability of PdNPs by PEI-oleic acid micelles. The method described in this report has great potential to prepare many kinds of stable noble metal nanoparticles for treating aqueous pollution.

We firstly discover the enhanced catalytic activity of magnetic noble metal nanoparticles mediated by surface plasmon resonance. Under light irradiation with certain wavelength, the catalytic performance of magnetic noble metal nanoparticles shows changes with different degrees and directions that are associated with the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the noble metal. Moreover, the coupling of silver and gold allows the catalytic performance of magnetic bimetallic Ag–Au nanoparticles to show more positive response to surface plasmon resonance. The magnetic bimetallic Ag–Au nanoparticles show excellent catalytic performance toward the reduction reaction of aromatic nitro group, and corresponding rate constant of the catalytic reduction reaction increases about three times with light irradiation.

Use of the noble metal nanoparticles in the surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) is a significant part the measurement. These nanoparticles are often used for SERRS measurements of silver nanoparticles prepared by reduction methods. From the literature it is obvious that the most popular methods of preparation of Ag nanoparticles are procedures which are using the chemical reduction and/or laser ablation. In this paper we discuss the comparison of SERRS spectra of water-soluble porphyrins (TTMAPP and TMPyP) in systems with Ag nanoparticles prepared by chemical reduction with sodium borohydride, sodium citrate and glucose. The comparison of different systems gives insight into the option of suitableility of using of nanoparticles with various surface ions in the production of different spectral forms of chosen porphyrins in dependence on their structures.
