Determination of the two-dimensional distributions of gold nanorods by multiwavelength analytical ultracentrifugation.


ABSTRACT: Properties of nanoparticles are influenced by various parameters like size, shape or composition. Comprehensive high throughput characterization techniques are urgently needed to improve synthesis, scale up to production and make way for new applications of multidimensional particulate systems. In this study, we present a method for measuring two-dimensional size distributions of plasmonic nanorods in a single experiment. Analytical ultracentrifuge equipped with a multiwavelength extinction detector is used to record the optical and sedimentation properties of gold nanorods simultaneously. A combination of sedimentation and extinction properties, both depending on diameter and length of the dispersed nanorods, is used to measure two-dimensional distributions of gold nanorod samples. The length, diameter, aspect ratio, volume, surface and cross-sectional distributions can be readily obtained from these results. As the technique can be extended to other non-spherical plasmonic particles and can be used for determining relative amounts of particles of different shapes it provides complete and quantitative insights into particulate systems.
