Abstract


In this work, the functional group of metal surface-modified gold nanoparticles by the Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid (PLAL) approach employing Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) is described. The synthesis was carried out in distilled water and a 1 mM bismuth nitrate solution as the modifier source. A color change of the fluid indicating the creation of nanoparticles was seen during the ablation process. Characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) indicated the presence of Au–O vibrations at wavenumber 493 cm⁻¹ in the pure gold sample, and the appearance of additional absorption bands such as Bi–O and Bi–O–Bi at wavenumber 557 cm⁻¹ and 825 cm⁻¹ in the Au+Bi₂O₃ sample. These variations in the FTIR spectrum reflect chemical interactions and success of surface-modified process. These results illustrate the efficiency of the PLAL approach for the manufacture of high-purity surface-modified gold nanoparticles without the usage of other chemicals.

Keywords
