    Abstract

    A label-free differential phase modulated localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor is developed for specific detection of lead (II) ions (Pb(II)) in aqueous solution. The Pb(II) selective sensing receptor, poly(m-phenylenediamine-co-Aniline-2-sulfonic acids) (mPD-co-ASA) copolymer was fabricated through oxidative copolymerization, and was functionalization onto the LSPR self-assembly gold nanoislands (SAM-AuNIs) chip. The sensor exhibits specific response to Pb(II) ion rather than other metallic ions over a wide range of concentrations. The limit of detection (LOD) is estimated as 0.15 ppb, which is much lower than 10 ppb, the recommended threshold of Pb concentration in drinking water by the World Health Organization. Furthermore, the label-free advantage is combined with fast detection response. Therefore, the plasmonic sensor has great potential for highly sensitive and specific detection of Pb(II) ions in drinking water.
