One-Step Synthesis of Au-Ag Nanowires through Microorganism-Mediated, CTAB-Directed Approach
Synthesis and applications of one dimensional (1D) metal nanostructures have attracted much attention. However, one-step synthesis of bimetallic nanowires (NWs) has remained challenging. In this work, we developed a microorganism-mediated, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-directed (MCD) approach to synthesize closely packed and long Au-Ag NWs with the assistance of a continuous injection pump. Characterization results confirmed that the branched Au-Ag alloy NWs was polycrystalline. And the Au-Ag NWs exhibited a strong absorbance at around 1950 nm in the near-infrared (NIR) region, which can find potential application in NIR absorption. In addition, the Au-Ag NWs showed excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement when 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) and rhodamine 6G (R6G) were used as probe molecules.Keywords:microorganism-mediated;Au-Ag NWs;SERS enhancement;Pichia pastoriscells;CTAB
