Abstract

The stable silver nanorod (AgNR) sol in red was prepared by the two-step procedure of NaBH4–H2O2 and citrate heating reduction, and it exhibited a strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 346nm. In pH 3.8 HAc–NaAc buffer solution, tea polyphenols (TP) reacted with ammonium molybdate (AM) to form yellow organic molybdate (OM) as receptor that was closed to the donor of AgNR, the RRS energy transfer (RRS-ET) takes place, owing to the overlapping between the AgNR RRS spectra and OM absorption spectra. When TP concentration increased, the RRS intensity decreased due to the RRS-ET increasing. So, a simple and sensitive AgNR surface plasmon RRS-ET analytical platform was fabricated to detect trace TP in the range of 0.05–0.85μg/mL, with a detection limit of 0.03μg/mL TP. The TP in tea samples was analyzed by this RRS-ET analysis platform, with satisfactory results.
