The invention discloses a
sea urchin-shaped hollow gold and silver
alloy nano particle and a preparation method and application thereof. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving
silver nitrate into water; heating the mixture of the
silver nitrate and the water till boiling; adding
trisodium citrate aqueous solution in the mixture and keeping boiling for 3-30 minutes to obtain a
silver colloid; mixing
chloroauric acid aqueous solution and the water; adding the
silver colloid under the condition of agitation at the temperature of 15 DEG C; adding hemoporphyrin metalporphyrin
aqueous solution and obtaining a reaction solution after 5 min reaction; performing centrifugalization of the reaction solution, washing deposit obtained via centrifugalization, and obtaining the
sea urchin-shaped hollow gold and silver
alloy nano particle. The
diameter of the nano particle is 80 nm-300 nm, the hollow size is 20 nm-50 nm, the length of a stab is 10 nm-30 nm, the
diameter of the stab is 10 nm. The preparation method is simple, low in cost, gentle in condition, short in time, easy
in process control, and large in production capacity. The obtained nano particle can be well applied to organic molecule detection, earlier detection of tumour and photothermal treatment.
