Sprix: Silver Nanoplates

Sprix silver nanoplates are surface plasmon resonant (SPR) platelet-shaped nanoparticles that have extremely large absorbing and scattering cross-sections across the visible and near-IR regions of the spectrum.   By precisely controlling the plate diameter and thickness, the nanoplate's optical resonance can be tuned to peak at specific wavelengths (550 nm-1000 nm). Nanoplates have applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), photovoltaics, molecular detection, and photothermal cancer therapies.

Nanoplates are available with spectral properties optimized for green, yellow, red, and near-IR excitation. 

Sprix Plate Specifications:

• Ag Mass concentration: 0.02 mg/mL or 1 mg/mL. 
• Ag atomic molarity 0.185 mmol/L or 9.25 mmol/L.

Plates are available with silica shells, and can also be provided with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as custom orders.
