In this study we report a fast and non-toxic approach for the synthesis of bimetallic gold-silver spherical nanoparticles coated with chitosan biopolymer. The obtained hybrid nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis-NIR extinction spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and zeta potential measurements. In view of future applicability in molecular sensing, we tested the feasibility of chitosan protected bimetallic nanoparticles to operate as surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates.

Keywords: chitosan; plasmonic nanoparticles; localized surface plasmon resonance; surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy; transmission electronic microscopy; zeta potential
