Abstract
Toxic mercury ions (Hg2+) can cause serious environmental pollution and accumulate in living organisms via the food chain. Therefore, monitoring Hg2+ is crucial in ensuring the safety of ecosystems and organisms. In this work, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe CMT (5-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-(7-hydroxy-coumarin-3-yl)-4-pentene-1,3-dione) based on coumarin was developed for detecting Hg2+, which displayed obvious fluorescence changes, a low detection limit (2.24 × 10-7 M), good selectivity, and a large Stokes shift (255 nm). The CMT probe could detect Hg2+ in real environmental soil and water samples. Furthermore, the CMT probe enabled the naked-eye detection of Hg2+ using test paper experiments. CMT was also applied for fluorescence imaging in living zebrafish and plants. This work provides a highly efficient tool for monitoring Hg2+ in environmental samples and biological systems.

Abstract
Many articles have already been published dealing with silver ions and its nanoparticles, but mostly from the environmental and toxicological point of view. This article is a review focused on the various analytical techniques and detection platforms used in the separation and determination of mentioned above species, especially on the trace concentration level. Commonly used are optical methods because of their high sensitivity and easy automation. The separation methods are mainly used for the separation and preconcentration of silver particles. Their combination with other analytical techniques, mainly inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) leads to very low detection limits of analysis. The electrochemical methods are also powerful and perspective mainly because of the fabrication of new sensors designed for silver determination. All methods may be combined with each other to achieve a synergistic improvement of analytical parameters with an impact on sensitivity, selectivity and reliability. The paper comprises a review of all three types of analytical methods on the determination of trace quantities of silver ions and its nanoparticles.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive detection of Hg2+ in aquatic ecosystems is of great significance due to its high toxicity and ubiquity in water. Herein, using a one-step in-situ synthesis method, blue fluorescent carbon dots (CDs), red fluorescent InP/ZnS quantum dots (InPQDs), and MOFs (ZIF-8) integrated multicolor nano-sensor CDs/InPQDs@ZIF-8 was constructed for consecutive visual detection of Hg2+ and Cys. The InPQDs can act as the response unit for Hg2+ and Cys, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 8.68 and 37.96 nM, respectively. Significantly, the low detection limit combines with good specificity and accuracy of the nano-sensor meet the requirement for the safety monitoring and control of Hg2+ in drinking and environmental water. Moreover, the color recognition and processing software installed on smart phone can realize the real-time and rapid sensing of Hg2+ and Cys. A logic gate circuit was also devised, providing the possibilities for the application of the nano-sensor in the field of intelligent devices. As far as we know, this was the first example to apply InPQDs to the continuous multicolor visual detection of Hg2+ and Cys, which provided reference for the construction of environmentally-friendly dual emission fluorescent sensors for hazardous substance monitoring.

Abstract
Environmental emissions of mercury from industrial waste and natural sources, even in trace amounts, are toxic to organisms and ecosystems. However, industrial-scale mercury detection is limited by the high cost, low sensitivity/specificity, and poor selectivity of the available analytical tools. This review summarizes the key sensors for mercury detection in aqueous environments: colorimetric-, electrochemical-, fluorescence-, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based sensors reported between 2014-2021. It then compares the performances of these sensors in the determination of inorganic mercury (Hg2+ ) and methyl mercury (CH3 Hg+ ) species in aqueous samples. Mercury sensors for aquatic applications still face serious challenges in terms of difficult deployment in remote areas and low robustness, reliability, and selectivity in harsh environments. We provide future perspectives on the selective detection of organomercury species, which are especially toxic and reactive in aquatic environments. This review is intended as a valuable resource for scientists in the field of mercury sensing.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Due to the intrinsic nature of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the detection of molecules with weak binding affinities toward metal substrates is critical for development of a universal SERS sensing platform. We hypothesized the physical trapping of small pesticide molecules for active hot spot generation using tyramine-mediated crosslinking chemistry and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) enhances SERS detection sensitivity. EXPERIMENTS Tyramine-mediated crosslinking chemistry for sensor application was validated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and Raman spectroscopy. SERS sensing platform using tyramine-mediated crosslinking reaction was systematically studied for detection of 1,4-dyethylnylbenzene as a model analyte. This sensor system was applied to detect two other pesticides, thiabendazole and 1,2,3,5-tetrachlorobenzene, which have different binding affinities toward metal surfaces. FINDINGS The SERS signal of 1,4-dyethylnylbenzene obtained using this sensor system was 3.6 times stronger than that obtained using the Ag colloidal due to the nanogap of approximately 1.3 nm within the generated hot spots. This sensor system based on tyramine-mediated crosslinked Ag NPs was evaluated as a promising tool to achieve a solution based sensitive detection of various pesticide molecules that cannot be adsorbed on the surfaces of typical SERS substrates such as metal nanoparticles.

Abstract
Black tea like other food crops is prone to mercury ion (Hg2+) contamination right from cultivation to industrial processing. Due to the dangerous health effects posed even in trace contents, sensitive detection and quantification sensors are required. This study employed the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement property of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as a signal turn off approach functionalized on Ag-Au alloyed nanoparticle to firstly detect Hg2+ in standard solutions and spiked tea samples. Different chemometric algorithms were applied on the acquired SERS and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) chemical reference data to select effective wavelengths and spectral variables in order to develop models to predict the Hg2+. Results indicated that Ag-Au/4-ATP SERS sensor combined with ant colony optimization partial least squares (ACO-PLS) exhibited the best correlation efficient and minimum errors for Hg2+ standard solutions (Rc = 0.984, Rp = 0.974, RMSEC = 0.157 μg/mL, RMSEP = 0.211 μg/mL) and spiked tea samples (Rc = 0.979, Rp = 0.963, RMSEC = 0.181 μg/g and RMSEP = 0.210 μg/g). The limit of detection of the proposed sensor was 4.12 × 10-7 μg/mL for Hg2+ standard solutions and 2.83 × 10-5 μg/g for Hg2+ spiked tea samples. High stability and reproducibility with relative standard deviation of 1.14% and 0.84% were detected. The potent strong relationship between the SERS sensor and the chemical reference method encourages the application of the developed chemometrics coupled SERS system for future monitoring and evaluation of Hg2+ in tea.

Abstract
Ultra sensitive detection of mercuric ion (Hg2+) with superior anti-interference capability from natural water is of great significance for food safety, environmental protection, and human health. We herein develop Au ordered nanorod arrays (Au NRAs) as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates to construct SERS-active and signal-reproducible sensing platforms modified with 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MBA) as multifunctional SERS reporters. The aqueous Hg2+ can be efficiently trapped by 4-MBA through electrophilic substitution reactions and precisely appraise its concentration based on the collective spectral changes of reporters including peak disappearance, emergence, and Raman shift. Based on this, the optical nanoprobe shows an ultrahigh detection sensitivity of 0.1 nM for Hg2+, which is two orders of magnitude lower than the U.S.A. environmental protection agency (EPA)-required maximum level of drinkable water. It also offers both an exceptional Hg2+ discrimination against other metal ions as well as organic ligands and perfect feasibilities of detecting solutions with ultra-wide pH ranges from 1.0-14.0 at varying temperatures. Moreover, the nanoprobe demonstrates an ability to identify different chemical forms of mercury and has a high repeatability, accuracy and reliability to meet the practical detection requirements in natural environments.

Abstract
Hg2+ has a significant hazardous impact on the environment and ecosystem. There is a great demand for new methods with high selectivity and sensitivity to determine mercury in life systems and environments. In this paper, a novel turn-on Hg2+ fluorescent probe has been reported with a naphthalimide group. The Hg2+ fluorescent probe was designed by the inspiration of the well-known specific Hg2+-triggered thioacetal deprotection reaction. A 1,2-dithioalkyl group was chosen as the specific recognition site of Hg2+. The probe showed weak fluorescence without Hg2+, and the color of the solution was light yellow. In the presence of Hg2+, the probe reacted specifically with the mercury ion to produce an aldehyde and emitted strong fluorescence, and the color of the solution also turned light green, thus realizing the monitoring of the mercury ion. The Hg2+ fluorescent probe showed outstanding sensitivity and selectivity toward Hg2+. Furthermore, the Hg2+ fluorescent probe could work in a wide pH range. The linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity at 510 nm and the concentration of Hg2+ was obtained in a range of Hg2+ concentration from 2.5 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-5 M. The detection limit was found to be 4.0 × 10-8 M for Hg2+. Furthermore, with little cell toxicity, the probe was successfully applied to the confocal image of Hg2+ in PC-12 cells.

Abstract
A new sensor for determination of Ag+ ion (Ag+) by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is reported. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 4-aminodiphenyl disulfide (APDS) were chosen as the SERS substrate and probe molecule, respectively. With the addition of Ag+, three new peaks (1141, 1392, and 1435 cm-1) appeared in the SERS spectrum, indicating that the conversion of APDS to p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) was achieved. As the concentration of Ag+ increased, the conversion of APDS to DMAB also increased and showed a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.9746) in the range of 10 to 100 μM of Ag+. The limit of detection (LOD) was 7 μM. Compared with the traditional determination method, the SERS method is convenient and fast and requires no complicated preprocessing. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Rapid, ultrasensitive and reliable detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is of importance, but is restricted by the extremely low Raman cross section of the Hg2+. Here, we report a facile methodology that can realize such detection based on the organometallic Cu(CH4N2S)Cl · 0.5H2O nanobelts and SERS. In the assay, Hg2+ react with the nanobelts coated on a SERS active gold nanoparticle (NP) film to form ultrafine HgS NPs in situ. Subsequently, solid HgS is SERS determined to mirror the presence of Hg2+. Importantly, such detection is rapid and ultrasensitive. Within 10 min, limit of detection (LoD) of ppt level can be realized. The high detection efficiency is attributed to the superhydrophilicity, rich micropores and ultrathin nature of the organometallic nanobelts besides the strong SERS effect of Au NP film. In addition, this detection is highly resistant to various metal ions (Cu2+, Fe3+, Bi3+, Cr3+, Na+, Ni2+, Cd2+, etc) and is highly reliable in actual water (lake and tap water). Finally, influences of some substrate parameters and detection conditions on the test results are revealed. The optimal thickness of the gold NP film is about 80 nm, and the optimal wavelength of excitation light is about 633 nm. A small amount of Cu(CH4N2S)Cl · 0.5H2O nanobelts or a large volume of Hg2+ contaminated solution contributes to low LoDs. We believe that this work provides a rapid and sensitive detection for Hg2+.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully prepared in aqueous solution by a one-pot procedure based on a rapid microwave-assisted green approach. L-Cysteine acted as a capping agent in the process of AgNP formation. The structural and morphological characteristics of the L-cysteine-capped AgNPs were investigated by the UV-vis, CD, FL, FTIR, XRD, TEM and EDX analysis. It was found that the well-dispersed crystalline AgNPs were formed after irradiation for 90 s and had sphere-like morphology. Such strategy may facilitate new ways to the synthesis of other metal nanoparticles, such as Au, Pt and Pd. In addition, the synthesized AgNPs were developed as a platform for the detection of Hg(2+) and showed a high sensitivity on the order of 1×10(-8) M. This sensing system could discriminate Hg(2+) from a wide range of cations (Ca(2+), Ba(2+), Mn(2+), etc.). The selectivity and sensitivity of AgNPs indicated its potential use as a sensor for Hg(2+) detection in the ecosystems.

Abstract
Concerns over exposure to mercury have motivated the exploration of cost-effective, rapid, and reliable method for monitoring Hg(2+) in the environment. Recently, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has become a promising alternative method for Hg(2+) analysis. SERS is a spectroscopic technique which combines modern laser spectroscopy with the optical properties of nano-sized noble metal structures, resulting in substantially increased Raman signals. When Hg(2+) is in a close contact with metallic nanostructures, the SERS effect provides unique structural information together with ultrasensitive detection limits. This review introduces the principles and contemporary approaches of SERS-based Hg(2+) detection. In addition, the perspective and challenges are briefly discussed.
