We previously reported a colorimetric assay method for Co2+based on the thioglycolic acid (TGA) functionalized hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) modified Au NPs. However, the detection limit of 3×10−7M was still higher than that of the sanitary standard for drinking water (6.8×10−8M). In addition, the interactions between the modifier and Au NPs, and between the modifier-Au NPs and Co2+remain to be clarified and confirmed. Thus, in the present study, the modified Au NPs solution was dialyzed and its detection limit was optimized to be 5×10−10M. The interactions between the modifier and Au NPs, and between the modifier-Au NPs and Co2+were investigated in both experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations, consistently confirming that the Au NPs were modified by the negatively charged anions of [SCH2CO2]2−through Au–S bonds and Co2+was recognized by the modifier-Au NPs through CoO chelate bonds. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggest that there were no chemical bonds formed between CTAB and Co2+. Moreover, the colorimetric assay of Co2+using the modified Au NPs has been proved to be a rapid, very sensitive and highly selective method. The validation of the method was carried out by analysis of a certified reference material, GSBZ 50030-94.
