Gold nanobipyramids (GNBPs) have high selectivity in detecting changes in their surrounding medium because of their electric field enhancements and larger surface areas. In this study, we functionalized GNBPs using a thiol group that acts as a ligand to improve the detection performance of the analytes. The investigation is carried out by varying the functionalization periods from 12 to 72 hours. The optimum thiol-functionalized GNBPs (t-GNBPs) are obtained in 60 hours, with a length of 36.84 ± 2.05 nm, a width of 24.02 ± 0.74 nm, and an aspect ratio of 1.54 ± 0.11. Then, the optimum t-GNBPs are used as a sensing material in a plasmonic sensor to detect glucose. The limit of detection (LoD) of glucose is 1 μM for this sensor. The plasmonic sensor has been successfully built with reliable performance in detecting glucose with excellent linearity, sensitivity and R2 = 1; good selectivity compared to four similar chemical structure analytes; high stability with a low error value, i.e., ± 0.02 a.u.; and almost consistent repeatability values in each cycle with low percent variance of 0.000025% for the t-SPR area and 0.000032% for the l-SPR area. Therefore, a plasmonic sensor based on t-GNBPs is an alternative method of detecting glucose with high sensitivity, selectivity and repeatability. © (2024) International Islamic University Malaysia-IIUM.
