Abstract

Abstract: Despite considerable research the evidence around the wide applications in the nanomedicine and nanophotonic area of gold-silver (Au–Ag) nanocolloids remains equivocal and under exploration. Due to their physical properties, enhanced permeability, high fluorescent, surface area to volume ratio, retention effect, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and controlled perfusion of drugs, made Au–Ag nanoparticles is over interested. Hence, we produced Au–Ag nanocolloids using nanosecond pulse laser ablation in liquid (NPLAL) technique. Targets of Au and Ag were submerged individually inside the cubic vessel fulfilled by 8 mL of glycol liquid media and vertically ablated with different pulse laser ablation (PLA) energy (50, 100, 150 and 200 mJ). The influence of the PLA energy (at fundamental wavelength 1064 nm) on the optical properties, morphology, particle size distribution, and chemical structure of the obtained colloidal Au–Au NPs was established. UV-Vis and FTIR spectrophotometers have been utilized to determine the absorbance characteristics and chemical functional groups of Au–Ag nanostructures, respectively. The attained of Au-Ag nanostructure exhibits a single-surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band, positioned between SPR bands of the monometallic and a surface bonding functional group (e.g. carboxyl or hydroxy groups). The proposed technique can be a basis for the developing complex compositions/colloids with unique and optimal physical properties may use for developing future nanomedicinal and nanophotonics.
