L-Cysteine-Modified Gold Nanostars for SERS-Based Copper Ions Detection in Aqueous Media

© 2014 American Chemical Society. Gold nanostars coated with cysteine (Cys-AuNSs) were successfully synthesized and used in SERS-based copper ions (Cu2+) detection in aqueous media. The strong coordination ability of cysteine (Cys) with Cu2+ and the resulting Cys-AuNSs-Cu complex formation led to Au...
