Descripción
The present work describes the synthesis of new nanomaterials based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) supported on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and polyacrylamide (PAAM) hydrogels, as well as their characterization in terms of structure and physicochemical properties. AuNCs were synthesized by incorporating the metallic precursor (Au3+) into the polymeric matrices and subsequently reducing it with UV-vis light (λ = 365 nm). The materials were characterized by UV-vis, FT-IR, fluorescence spectroscopy, TEM and SEM. Likewise, the thermal properties and the swelling capacity of the different polymer matrices were determined. In addition, we present a comparative study with two nanomaterials regarding their behavior for the selective detection of Hg2+ in water. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the polymer matrices influence the nanomaterials' selectivity to mercury. As the AuNCs fluorescence incorporated in both matrices is quenched by Hg2+, the materials can be used to sense sensitively and selectively Hg2+ in water with a detection limit of 4.1 nM and 1.3 nM for Au-PNIPAM and Au-PAAM NCs, respectively. Summarizing, our study presents a novel, easy and straightforward route to synthesized nanomaterials with unique optical and chemical properties, which could be used for the construction of a portable Hg2+ detection device.
