Abstract Uranium is an important raw material in nuclear energy generation, however, it is a critical radioactive component in the atmosphere, and it creates damage to human health. In this work, we report a simple, cost-effective, and selective colorimetric detection technique for UO22+ by using nitrophenyldiacetic acids (NPD) functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs 1). The hybrid Au NPs 1 could be induced to aggregate in the presence of UO22+ ions. The UO22+ could be recognized by the colorimetric response of hybrid Au NPs 1, that can be observed by a UV-vis spectrophotometer, and it is easily detectable by naked eye. The hybrid Au NPs 1 bound by UO22+ possesses good selective response compared to other metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, and Co2+), which led to a prominent color change. The color of the hybrid Au NPs 1 was also changed from the red to the dark red upon addition of UO22+ in the presence of other metal ions. From Job’s plot, we found that one NPD moiety attached onto the surface of Au NPs 1 forms 1:1 stoichiometry with UO22+. Hence, it provides a facile and effective colorimetric sensor for the real-time detection of UO22+.
