This article reports a surface modification of gold nanoparticles with water soluble polyoxometalate, V₁₀O₂₈⁶⁻ (decavanadate, V10). Two sizes of citrate-capped gold nanoparticles AuNP-Citrate-S (∼11 nm) and AuNP-Citrate-L (∼46 nm) were modified with V10 in aqueous media to form AuNP-V10-S and AuNP-V10-L, respectively. Both AuNP-V10-S and AuNP-V10-L were found to be significantly better than their citrate counterparts in strengthening Raman vibrational signals of analyte molecule. All the nanoparticles were characterized by UV–visible and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) line analysis. We demonstrate that AuNP-V10-L is excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for a Raman-active analyte molecule at nanomolar concentrations.
