Optical Fiber-Based Heavy Metal Detection Using the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Technique
IEEE Sensors Journal(2019)
摘要
An innovative, reflection-based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) fiber-optic sensor has been developed and demonstrated to detect the concentration of several heavy metal lead ions in an aqueous solution. By using a self-assembling technique, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been immobilized on an optical fiber surface and functionalized with 1,1-Mercaptoundecanoic acid [MUA; HS(CH
