Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology has been regarded as a most efficient and sensitive strategy for the detection of pollutants at ultra-low concentrations. Fabrication of SERS substrates is of key importance in obtaining the homogeneous and sensitive SERS signals. Cellulose filter papers loaded with plasmonic metal NPs are well known as cost-effective and efficient paper-based SERS substrates. In this manuscript, face-to-face assembly of silver nanoplates via solvent-evaporation strategies on the cellulose filter papers has been developed for the SERS substrates. Furthermore, these developed paper-based SERS substrates are utilized for the ultra-sensitive detection of the rhodamine 6G dye and thiram pesticides. Our theoretical studies reveal the creation of high density hotspots, with a huge localized and enhanced electromagnetic field, near the corners of the assembled structures, which justifies the ultrasensitive SERS signal in the fabricated paper-based SERS platform. This work provides an excellent paper-based SERS substrate for practical applications, and one which can also be beneficial to human health and environmental safety.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman (SERS) spectroscopy has been establishing itself as an ultrasensitive analytical technique with a cross-disciplinary range of applications, which scientific growth is triggered by the continuous improvement in the design of advanced plasmonic materials with enhanced multifunctional abilities and tailorable surface chemistry. In this regard, conventional synthetic procedures yield negatively-charged plasmonic materials which can hamper the adhesion of negatively-charged species. To tackle this issue, metallic surfaces have been modified via diverse procedures with a broad array of surface ligands to impart positive charges. Cationic amines have been preferred because of their ability to retain a positive zeta potential even at alkaline pH as well as due to their wide accessibility in terms of structural features and cost. In this review, we will describe and discuss the different approaches for generating positively-charged plasmonic platforms and their applications in SERS sensing. Integration of ligands equipped with quaternary amines on plasmonic surfaces generates positively-charged nanomaterials suitable for electrostatically binding negatively-charged species paving the way for their application in SERS sensing.![]()

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy based on thioglycolic acid (TGA) functionalized silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@Ag-TGANPs) was developed for the facile screening of thiabendazole (TBZ) and ferbam (0.025-10 ppm) in liquid milk for the first time. Results showed that silver-coated gold nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) with a core size of 32 nm and a shell thickness of 5 nm was successfully modified with 3 nm TGA. The sensitive Au@Ag-TGANPs could enhance TBZ and ferbam signals by factors of 6.4 × 104 and 9.8 × 104, respectively, and achieved the detection of TBZ and ferbam with limits of detection of 0.12 and 0.003 ppm, R2 of 0.988 and 0.9821, percent recoveries of 88-103% and of 87.2-103.5%, and relative standard deviations of 4.1-9.2% and 3.5-8.3%, respectively. The current simple and green method could thus be used to detect other unsafe chemicals in future studies.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful technique for sensitive detection, but it normally has difficulty in multicomponent detection in a complex system, especially for simultaneous analysis of mixture of heavy metal ions. In this work, a simple paper chromatography tandem SERS (PC-SERS) separation/detection platform is proposed by ion-sputtering gold on a filter paper. Based on SEM results, the great electromagnetic field inside nanogaps of Au nanoislands on the paper surface is evaluated with FDTD simulation. It is found that the PC-SERS platform has good uniformity (RSD = 10.12%) and long-time stability. The as-prepared PC-SERS platform was applied to efficiently separate and detect a mixture of pesticides (MG, MB, and CV) in pond water without any pretreatment process, and the limits of detection (LODs) were down to 10 nM. As a crucial application for food safety, several heavy metal ions such as Cd2+, Cu2+, and Ni2+ in grinded rice were successfully detected by the PC-SERS method taking advantage of the sandwich structure based on 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules, which were modified onto sputtering the Au filter paper and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to link metal ions and acted as Raman signal molecules. All the LODs for metal ions were down to 1 μM. Due to the easiness of fabrication, good reproducibility, and simple pretreatment step, the PC-SERS platform holds promise in multicomponent detection in a real sample.

Abstract
An ultra-sensitive strategy for bisphenol A (BPA) detection based on dual enzyme-free strategies: hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and enzyme-strand recycling reaction has been developed. The BPA aptamer can form hairpins structure by the partly self-complementary sequence. In the presence of BPA, the released BPA aptamer sequence can trigger the HCR between two hairpins to from a long nicked double-helix DNA. The tails of hairpins on the duplex DNA were closely enough to hybridize with molecular beacon (MB) on the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to circularly cleave the loop of MB, leading to a "turn-on" fluorescent signal. This method exhibited high sensitivity for BPA detection in a linear rang from 0.2 to 1000 pM with 0.05 pM of limit of detection. Moreover, it was successfully used for BPA detection in real water samples. Importantly, this method was simple without complex enzymatic procedure and high cost, showing a promising future for on-site detection of BPA in practical application.
