In this contribution, we make a comparison of the two light scattering techniques by employing gold nanoparticles （AuNPs） aggregation induced by mercuric ions. It was found that citrate-stabilized AuNPs got aggregated in aqueous medium in the presence of mercuric ions through a chelation process, resulting in greatly enhanced LSPR-LS signals and increased hydrodynamic diameter. The enhanced LSPR-LS intensity （A/） is proportional to the concentration of mercuric ions in the range of 0.4-2.5 laM following the linear regression equation of A/= -84.7＋516.4c, with the correlation coefficient of 0.983 （n = 6） and the limit of determi- nation （3o-） about 0.10 gM. On the other hand, the increased hydrodynamic diameter can be identified by the DLS signals only with a concentration of Hg2＋ in the range of 1.0-2.5 gM, and a linear relationship between the average hydrodynamic diame- ters of the resulted aggregates and the concentration of Hg2＋ can be expressed as d = -6.16 ＋ 45.9c with the correlation coeffi- cient of 0.994. In such case, LSPR-LS signals were further applied to the selective determination of mercuric ions in lake water samples with high sensitivity and simple operation.展开更多
