Abstract

Current work presents a detailed study on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (70 ± 5 nm) functionalized with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid and their interaction with divalent ions (Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺, Sn²⁺). The study reveals the morphological changes in the nanoparticles due to interaction with Cu²⁺, resulting in the formation of larger nanoparticle aggregates. The UV-Vis spectra of the pristine and aggregated nanoparticles are also discussed, providing insights into the changes in their optical properties. These nanoparticles are used to detect divalent ions using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with a detection limit of 2.5 × 10^–7 M for Cu²⁺ and also show a linear response within the 10^–3 to 10^–7 M concentration range. High selectivity for Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, and Pb²⁺ was also detected. The findings of this study could have significant implications in the field of nanomaterials and environmental chemistry, particularly in the detection and removal of heavy metal ions.
