Three-Dimensional Dendritic Au-Ag Substrate for On-Site SERS Detection of Trace Molecules in Liquid Phase. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12122002. [PMID: 35745341 PMCID: PMC9229001 DOI: 10.3390/nano12122002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The development of a facile surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor for the on-site detection of trace molecules in liquid phase is a compelling need. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) dendritic Au–Ag nanostructure was constructed by a two-step electro displacement reaction in a capillary tube for the on-site liquid phase detection of trace molecules. The multiplasmon resonance mechanism of the dendritic Au–Ag structure was simulated using the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method. It was confirmed that the highly branched 3D structure promoted the formation of high-density “hot spots” and interacted with the gold nanoparticles at the dendrite tip, gap, and surface to maximize the spatial electric field, which allowed for high signal intensification to be observed. More importantly, the unique structure of the capillary made it possible to achieve the on-site detection of trace molecules in liquids. Using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) solution as a model molecule, the 3D dendritic Au–Ag substrate exhibited a high detection sensitivity (10−13 mol/L). Furthermore, the developed sensor was applied to the detection of antibacterial agents, ciprofloxacin (CIP), with clear Raman characteristic peaks observed even at concentrations as low as 10−9 mol/L. The results demonstrated that the 3D dendritic Au–Ag sensor could successfully realize the rapid on-site SERS detection of trace molecules in liquids, providing a promising platform for ultrasensitive and on-site liquid sample analysis.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 272:120960.

Abstract
In this study, we developed an innovative approach that combines solid phase microextraction (SPME) with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect pesticide ferbam rapidly. An Au nano-glass capillary was fabricated by coating template-freely synthesized three-dimensional network Au nanostructures (3D-NW AuNSs) on the roughened surface of glass capillary and used for SPME and SERS respectively. Significant Raman signals were obtained by the SPME-SERS method, followed by detection of ferbam in water and orange juice samples with only 1 min SPME process. Results showed that Au nano-glass capillaries could achieve the detection of ferbam with limit of detection of 0.05 μg/L, and coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9913. The recovery of predicted results was in the range of 88.46-103.29% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 3.5-8.2%. This study demonstrated potential capability of the SPME-SERS method for rapid (within 1 min) and sensitive detection of organic compounds in complex matrices. The SERS-active Au nano-glass capillary is easy to carry and operate, and is expected to play a role in the detection of trace pollutants.

Abstract
Rapid quantification of nitrite (NO2-) in food, drink and body fluids is of significant importance for both food safety and point-of-care (POA) applications. However, conventional nitrite analytical methods are complicated, constrained to sample content, and time-consuming. Inspired by a nitrite-triggered surface plasmon-assisted catalysis (SPAC) reaction, a rapid point-of-care detection salivary nitrate was developed in this work. NO2- ions can trigger the rapid conversion of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) to p,p'-dimercaptozaobenzene (DMAB) on gold nanoparticles (GNPs) under light illumination, and the emerged new bands at ca. 1140, 1390, 1432 cm-1 originating from DMAB can be used to the quantification of nitrite. Meanwhile, to make the method entirely suitable for on-site fast screen or point-of-care application, the technique is needed to be further optimized. The calibration graph for nitrates was linear in the range of 1-100 µM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9579. The limit of detection was 1 µM. The facile method could lead to a further understanding of the progression and treatment of periodontitis and to guide professionals in planning on-site campaigns to effectively control periodontal diseases.

Abstract
In this study, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) scheme is combined with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) detection on a thin gold film with stripe patterns of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) via convective self-assembly (CSA) method. The potential of dual modal plasmonic substrates was evaluated by binding 4-ABT and IgG analytes, respectively. SERS experiments presented not only a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 4.7 nM and an enhancement factor of 1.34 × 105, but an excellent reproducibility with relative standard deviation of 5.5%. It was found from plasmonic sensing experiments by immobilizing IgG onto GNP-mediated gold film that detection sensitivity was improved by more than 211%, compared with a conventional bare gold film. Our synergistic SERS-LSPR approach based on a simple and cost-effective CSA method could open a route for sensitive, reliable and reproducible dual modal detection to expand the application areas.

Abstract
The growing demand for reliable and robust methodology in bio-chemical sensing calls for the continuous advancement of sensor technologies. Over the last two decades, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as one of the most promising analytical techniques for sensitive and trace analysis or detection in biomedical and agri-food applications. SERS overcomes the inherent sensitivity limitation associated with Raman spectroscopy, which provides vibrational "fingerprint" spectra of molecules that makes it unique and versatile among other spectroscopy techniques. This paper comprehensively reviews the recent advancements of SERS for biomedical, food and agricultural applications over the last 6 years, and we envision that, in the near future, some of these platforms have the potential to be translated as a point-of-care and rapid sensor for real-life end-user applications. The merits and limitations of various SERS sensor designs are analysed and discussed based on critical features such as sensitivity, specificity, usability, repeatability and reproducibility. We conclude by highlighting the opportunities and challenges in the field while stressing the technological gaps to be addressed in realizing commercially viable point-of-care SERS sensors for practical biomedical and agri-food technological applications.

Abstract
Spectroscopic techniques, electrochemical methods, nanozymes, computer vision, and modified chromatographic techniques are the emerging techniques for determining the quality and safety parameters (e.g., physical, chemical, microbiological, and classified parameters, as well as inorganic and organic contaminants) of tea products (such as fresh tea leaves, commercial tea, tea beverage, tea powder, and tea bakery products) effectively. By simplifying the sample preparation, speeding up the detection process, reducing the interference of other substances contained in the sample, and improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the current standard techniques, the abovementioned emerging techniques achieve rapid, cost-effective, and nondestructive or slightly destructive determination of tea products, with some of them providing real-time detection results. Applying these emerging techniques in the whole industry of tea product processing, right from the picking of fresh tea leaves, fermentation of tea leaves, to the sensory evaluation of commercial tea, as well as developing portable devices for real-time and on-site determination of classified and safety parameters (e.g., the geographical origin, grade, and content of contaminants) will not only eliminate the strong dependence on professionals but also help mechanize the production of tea products, which deserves further research. Conducting a review on the application of spectroscopic techniques, electrochemical methods, nanozymes, computer vision, and modifications of chromatographic techniques for quality and safety determination of tea products may serve as guide for other types of foods and beverages, offering potential techniques for their detection and evaluation, which would promote the development of the food industry.

Abstract
A flexible adhesive tape decorated with SERS-active silver nanorods (AgNRs) in the form of an array nanostructure is described. The tape was constructed by transferring the AgNRs nanostructures from silicon to the transparent tape by a "paste & peel off" procedure. The transparent, sticky, and flexible properties of commercial tapes allow almost any SERS-inactive irregular surface to be detected in-situ by pasting the SERS tape onto the position to be analyzed. Three examples for an analytical application are presented, viz. determination of (a) tetramethylthiuram disulfide and thiabendazole (two pesticides), (b) colorants in the gel of a writing pen, and (c) the fluorophore Rhodamine B. The tetramethylthiuram disulfide on apple surface was rapidly detected with a LOD of 28.8 ng·cm-2. The AgNRs effectively quenched the fluorescence of the matrix and fluorophores, this enabling the colorants and Rhodamine B to be identified. The results demonstrated that the SERS tape can be used for versatile in-situ detection. Conceivably, it may find applications in food analysis, non-invasive identification, environmental monitoring, and in other areas of daily life. Graphic abstract A flexible and adhesive SERS active tape decorated with silver nanorods (AgNRs) arrays was constructed through a "paste & peel off" method. It can be used as a versatile in situ analysis platform for various applications.

The detection of traces of substances by surface-sensitive techniques such as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) explores the interaction of adsorbed molecules on plasmonic surfaces to improve the limit of detection of analytes. This article is an overview about recent development in SERS substrates applied in the detection of organophosphorus pesticides on plasmonic surfaces (arrays of metal nanoparticles). The morphology, roughness, chemical functionalization degree, and aggregation level of plasmonic centers are some of the critical parameters to be controlled in the optimization of SERS signal from specific analytes.

Abstract
We demonstrate a glass microcapillary fiber as an optofluidic platform for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), the inner walls of which are coated with a graphene oxide (GO)/gold nanorod (AuNR) nanocomposite. A simple thermal method is used for the coating, allowing for the continuous deposition of the nanocomposite without surface functionalization. We show that the AuNRs can be directly and nondestructively identified on the GO inside the capillaries via identification of the Au-Br SERS peak, as Br- ions from the AuNR synthesis remain on their surface. The coated microcapillary platform is, then, used as a stable SERS substrate for the detection of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and Rhodamine 640 (RH640) at concentrations down to 10-7 and 10-9 M, respectively. As the required sample volumes are as low as a few hundred nanoliters, down to ~75 femtograms of analyte can be detected. The fiber also allows for the detection of the molecules at acquisition times as low as 0.05 s, indicating the platform's suitability for real-time sensing.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is capable of detecting a single molecule with high specificity and has become a promising technique for rapid chemical analysis of agricultural products and foods. With a deeper understanding of the SERS effect and advances in nanofabrication technology, SERS is now on the edge of going out of the laboratory and becoming a sophisticated analytical tool to fulfill various real-world tasks. This review focuses on the challenges that SERS has met in this progress, such as how to obtain a reliable SERS signal, improve the sensitivity and specificity in a complex sample matrix, develop simple and user-friendly practical sensing approach, reduce the running cost, etc. This review highlights the new thoughts on design and nanofabrication of SERS-active substrates for solving these challenges and introduces the recent advances of SERS applications in this area. We hope that our discussion will encourage more researches to address these challenges and eventually help to bring SERS technology out of the laboratory.

Abstract
The development of paper-based SERS substrates that can allow multi-component detection in real-word scenarios is of great value for applications in molecule detection under complex conditions. Here, a multifunctional SERS-based paper sensing substrate has been developed through the uniform patterning of high-density arrays of GO-isolated Ag nanoparticles on the hydrophilic porous cellulose paper strip (GO@AgNP@paper). Wet-chemical synthesis was used to provide the cover of SERS hot spots on any part of the paper, not just limited surface deposition. In virtue of the inherent ability of paper to deliver analytes by the capillary force, the detection ability of the GO@AgNP@paper substrate was greatly promoted, allowing as low as 10-19M R6G detection from microliter-volume (50 μL) samples. For the components with different polarity, the paper substrate can be used as an all-in-one machine to achieve the integration of separation and high-sensitive detection for ultralow mixture components, which improves the practical application value of SERS-based paper devices.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology combines with chemometric method of principal component analysis (PCA) was used to calculate the composition of chemical mixtures in solution. We reported here that there exists composition discrepancy between molecules in solution and molecules adsorbed on Ag@Al2O3 nanorods substrates due to difference in adsorption kinetics of each component. We proposed here a way to calculate the adsorption kinetics factor for each component using a standard sample as the reference, with which one could correct the predictions given by PCA. We demonstrate the validity of this approach in estimating the compositions of mixtures with two, three and four components of 1, 4-Benzenedithiol, 2-Naphthalenethiol, 4-Mercaptobenzoic acid, and 4-Mercaptopyridine molecules, with acceptable errors. Furthermore, a general formula applied to more complex mixtures was proposed to calculate compositions in solution.
