Gold nanoparticles for highly sensitive and selective copper ions sensing—old materials with new tricks

Abstract

We report a new application of gold nanoparticles for visual detection of copper ions with high sensitivity and selectivity based on the colorimetric difference due to the strong and specific inhibition of Cu(NH3)62+ to the corrosion of gold nanoparticles at low concentration.
