Paper Abstract
Metallic silver nanoparticles coated with titanium dioxide were synthesized via a simple route. The chemical
reduction of Ag+ to Ago was followed with the controlled polymerization of TiO2 to produce very small size and
narrow distribution of nanoparticles produced the desired TiO2/Ag colloidal suspensions. The prepared nanoparticles
were characterized by UV-VIS absorption and by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. The spectrum of the
suspension of normal Ag nanoparticles had a surface plasmon resonance peaked at 420 nm arising from particles
characteristic of Ag colloidal dispersions. Similar surface plasmon absorptions due to Ag nanoparticles were
observed for the suspension of Titania coated Ag nanoparticles, but at longer wavelength than for the suspension of
Ag nanoparticles. This absorption shift ( +15 to +20 nm) is caused by refractive index of Titania and suggests
coverage of Ag nanoparticles with Titania. TiO2/Ag colloids were used to measure Raman spectra in capillary tubes
at different excitation sources to observe the enhancement of the Raman signatures of solution of TNT and DNT at
different pH values. At pH = 10.3 TNT showed an increase of the NO2 stretching mode at the 1365 cm-1 in
comparison with the other pHs and the solution without colloids. In addition, the band ca. 1213 cm-1 and NO2 (1370
cm-1) band were shifted from their normal positions.
