Abstract

The use of plasmonic particles, specifically, localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR), may lead to a significant improvement in the electrical, electrochemical, and optical properties of materials. Chemical modification of the dielectric constant near the plasmonic surface should lead to a shift of the optical resonance and, therefore, the basis for color tuning and sensing. In this research, we investigated the variation of the LSPR by modifying the chemical environment of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) through the complexation of Pt(IV) metal cations near the plasmonic surface. This study is carried out by measuring the shift of the plasmon dipole resonance of Ag nanocubes (NCs) and nanowires (NWs) of differing sizes upon coating the Ag surface with a layer of polydopamine (PDA) as a coordinating matrix for Pt(IV) complexes. The red shift of up to 45 nm depends linearly on the thickness of the PDA/Pt(IV) layer and the Pt(IV) content. Additionally, we calculated the dielectric constant of the surrounding medium using a numerical method.
