THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 950:174252. [PMID: 38942304 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
The agricultural sector plays a pivotal role in driving the economy of many developing countries. Any dent in this economical structure may have a severe impact on a country's population. With rising climate change and increasing pollution, the agricultural sector is experiencing significant damage. Over time this cumulative damage will affect the integrity of food crops and create food security issues around the world. Therefore, an early warning system is needed to detect possible stress on food crops. Here we present a review of the recent developments in nanomaterial-based Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrates which could be utilized to monitor agricultural crop responses to natural and anthropogenic stress. Initially, our review delves into diverse and cost-effective strategies for fabricating SERS substrates, emphasizing their intelligent utilization across various agricultural scenarios. In the second phase of our review, we spotlight the specific application of SERS in addressing critical food security issues. By detecting nutrients, hormones, and effector molecules in plants, SERS provides valuable insights into plant health. Furthermore, our exploration extends to the detection of contaminants, chemicals, and foodborne pathogens within plants, showcasing the versatility of SERS in ensuring food safety. The cumulative knowledge derived from these discussions illustrates the transformative potential of SERS in bolstering the agricultural economy. By enhancing precision in nutrient management, monitoring plant health, and enabling rapid detection of harmful substances, SERS emerges as a pivotal tool in promoting sustainable and secure agricultural practices. Its integration into agricultural processes not only augments productivity but also establishes a robust defence against potential threats to crop yield and food quality. As SERS continues to evolve, its role in shaping the future of agriculture becomes increasingly pronounced, promising a paradigm shift in how we approach and address challenges in food production and safety.

Abstract
Advancements in food-contaminant detection technologies can significantly improve food safety and human health. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has become the preferred analytical method for food-safety detection owing to its numerous advantages, which include unique 'molecular fingerprinting' features, high sensitivity, rapid responses, and non-invasive characteristics. Raman-signal enhancements rely heavily on high-performance SERS substrates. In recent years, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based SERS substrates have gained attention as promising candidates for developing SERS technologies owing to their distinctive structures and functions. This review comprehensively examines recent advances in MOF-based SERS substrates, focusing on the main role of MOFs in SERS substrates as well as their typical categories and structures, construction methods, and representative applications in food-contaminant detection. First, the primary roles of MOFs in SERS substrates are briefly introduced. Next, a comprehensive overview of the typical categories and structures of MOF-based SERS substrates is discussed. Subsequently, a fundamental view of the general construction methods for MOF-based SERS substrates is presented. Next, the main applications of MOF-based SERS substrates for food-contaminant detection are summarised. Finally, challenges and perspectives, including improvements in SERS performance and stability, and the unification of SERS mechanisms, are addressed and discussed.

Abstract
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are a major class of environmental pollutants hazardous to human health, but also highly relevant in other fields including early disease diagnostics and organoleptic perception of aliments. Therefore, accurate analysis of VOC is essential, and a need for new analytical methods is witnessed for rapid on-site detection without complex sample preparation. Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) offers a rapidly developing versatile analytical platform for the portable detection of chemical species. Nonetheless, the need for efficient docking of target analytes at the metallic surface significantly narrows the applicability of SERS. This limitation can be circumvented by interfacing the sensor surface with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF). These materials featuring chemical and structural versatility can efficiently pre-concentrate low molecular weight species such as VOC through their ordered porous structure. This review presents recent trends in the development of MOF-based SERS substrates with a focus on elucidating respective design rules for maximizing analytical performance. An overview of the status of the detection of harmful VOC is discussed in the context of industrial and environmental monitoring. In addition, a survey of the analysis of VOC biomarkers for medical diagnosis and emerging applications in aroma and flavor profiling is included.

Abstract
The implementation of low-cost and rapid technologies for the on-site detection of mycotoxin-contaminated crops is a promising solution to address the growing concerns of the agri-food industry. Recently, there have been significant developments in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for the direct detection of mycotoxins in food and feed. This review provides an overview of the most recent advancements in the utilization of SERS through the successful fabrication of novel nanostructured materials. Various bottom-up and top-down approaches have demonstrated their potential in improving sensitivity, while many applications exploit the immobilization of recognition elements and molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) to enhance specificity and reproducibility in complex matrices. Therefore, the design and fabrication of nanomaterials is of utmost importance and are presented herein. This paper uncovers that limited studies establish detection limits or conduct validation using naturally contaminated samples. One decade on, SERS is still lacking significant progress and there is a disconnect between the technology, the European regulatory limits, and the intended end-user. Ongoing challenges and potential solutions are discussed including nanofabrication, molecular binders, and data analytics. Recommendations to assay design, portability, and substrate stability are made to help improve the potential and feasibility of SERS for future on-site agri-food applications.

Abstract
Microfluidic devices have emerged as advantageous tools for detecting environmental contaminants due to their portability, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and rapid response capabilities. These devices have wide-ranging applications in environmental monitoring of air, water, and soil matrices, and have also been applied to agricultural monitoring. Although several previous reviews have explored microfluidic devices' utility, this paper presents an up-to-date account of the latest advancements in this field for environmental monitoring, looking back at the past five years. In this review, we discuss devices for prominent contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, nutrients, microorganisms, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), etc. We cover numerous detection methods (electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, etc.) and critically assess the current state of microfluidic devices for environmental monitoring, highlighting both their successes and limitations. Moreover, we propose potential strategies to mitigate these limitations and offer valuable insights into future research and development directions.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) is highly toxic, persistent, and carcinogenic, and its widespread use is a danger to the ecosystem and a threat to public health and food safety, making it necessary to develop new sensitive multimode molecular spectroscopy methods. In this work, a new copper-based nanomaterial (CuNM) was prepared by a high-temperature roasting using a copper metal-organic framework (CuMOF) as precursor. The as-prepared CuNM was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and BET surface area analysis. CuNM was found to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2 to produce the oxidation product TMBOX; however, subsequently, the MG aptamer (Apt) could be adsorbed on the CuNM surface by intermolecular interaction, which would inhibit the catalytic performance. After the addition of MG to be tested, the CuNM previously adsorbed by the Apt was transformed into its free state, thus restoring its catalytic activity. This new nanocatalytic indicator reaction could be monitored by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)/resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS)/fluorescence (FL)/absorption (Abs) quadruple-mode methods. The SERS determination range was 0.004-0.4 nmol L-1 MG, with a limit of detection of 0.0032 nM. In this way, a rapid, stable, and sensitive method for the determination of MG residues in the environment was established.

Abstract
Edible chrysanthemum is widely cultivated and used as an important ingredient of medicine, tea and multifunctional food. During the planting of chrysanthemum, pesticides are extensively used for preventing plant diseases and insect pests. To ensure the food safety of edible chrysanthemum, rapid detection methods are urgently needed for on-site inspection. In this study, a graphene oxide/Au nanoparticle (GO/Au NP) cellulose substrate was prepared through layer-by-layer assembly of GO and Au NPs on a mixed cellulose ester membrane. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection of four types of organophosphorus and organosulfur pesticides was achieved by filtering the extracting solution through the substrate and analysing SERS spectra. Qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of fenthion, phoxim, isocarbophos and thiram was accomplished with the detection limits of 38.01, 8.13, 48.97 and 8.74 ng mL-1, respectively. A spiking experiment further demonstrated the feasibility of this method for rapid and on-site detection of mixed pesticides in chrysanthemum. This study provides a new approach for rapid detection of multiple hazardous substances in flowering and herbal plants.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization and agricultural development have resulted in the accumulation of a variety of harmful contaminants in water resources. Thus, various approaches such as adsorption, photocatalytic degradation and methods for sensing water contaminants have been developed to solve the problem of water pollution. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of coordination networks comprising organic-inorganic hybrid porous materials having organic ligands attached to inorganic metal ions/clusters via coordination bonds. MOFs represent an emerging class of materials for application in water remediation owing to their versatile structural and chemical characteristics, such as well-ordered porous structures, large specific surface area, structural diversity, and tunable sites. The present review is focused on recent advances in various MOFs for application in water remediation via the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of water contaminants. The sensing of water pollutants using MOFs via different approaches, such as luminescence, electrochemical, colorimetric, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic techniques, is also discussed. The high porosity and chemical tunability of MOFs are the main driving forces for their widespread applications, which have huge potential for their commercial use.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been introduced to detect pesticides at low concentrations and in complex matrices to help developing countries monitor pesticides to keep their concentrations at safe levels in food and the environment. SERS is a surface-sensitive technique that enhances the Raman signal of molecules absorbed on metal nanostructure surfaces and provides vibrational information for sample identification and quantitation. In this work, we report the use of silver nanostars (AgNs) as SERS-active elements to detect four neonicotinoid pesticides (thiacloprid, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and nitenpyram). The SERS substrates were prepared with multiple depositions of the nanostars using a self-assembly approach to give a dense coverage of the AgNs on a glass surface, which ultimately increased the availability of the spikes needed for SERS activity. The SERS substrates developed in this work show very high sensitivity and excellent reproducibility. Our research opens an avenue for the development of portable, field-based pesticide sensors, which will be critical for the effective monitoring of these important but potentially dangerous chemicals.

Abstract
Agrochemicals, which are crucial to meet the world food qualitative and quantitative demand, are compounds used to kill pests (insects, fungi, rodents, or unwanted plants). Regrettably, there are some important issues associated with their widespread and extensive use (e.g., contamination, bioaccumulation, and development of pest resistance); thus, a reduced and more controlled use of agrochemicals and thorough detection in food, water, soil, and fields are necessary. In this regard, the development of new functional materials for the efficient application, detection, and removal of agrochemicals is a priority. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with exceptional sorptive, recognition capabilities, and catalytical properties have very recently shown their potential in agriculture. This Review emphasizes the recent advances in the use of MOFs in agriculture through three main views: environmental remediation, controlled agrochemical release, and detection of agrochemicals.

Abstract
Optical chemical sensors are widely applied in many fields of modern analytical practice, due to their simplicity in preparation and signal acquisition, low costs, and fast response time. Moreover, the construction of most modern optical sensors requires neither wire connections with the detector nor sophisticated and energy-consuming hardware, enabling wireless sensor development for a fast, in-field and online analysis. In this review, the last five years of progress (from 2017 to 2021) in the field of optical chemical sensors development for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is provided. The operating mechanisms, the transduction principles and the types of sensing materials employed in single selective optical sensors and in multisensory systems are reviewed. The selected examples of optical sensors applications are reported to demonstrate the benefits and drawbacks of optical chemical sensor use for POPs assessment.

Abstract
Recent global warming has resulted in shifting of weather patterns and led to intensification of natural disasters and upsurges in pests and diseases. As a result, global food systems are under pressure and need adjustments to meet the change—often by pesticides. Unfortunately, such agrochemicals are harmful for humans and the environment, and consequently need to be monitored. Traditional detection methods currently used are time consuming in terms of sample preparation, are high cost, and devices are typically not portable. Recently, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has emerged as an attractive candidate for rapid, high sensitivity and high selectivity detection of contaminants relevant to the food industry and environmental monitoring. In this review, the principles of SERS as well as recent SERS substrate fabrication methods are first discussed. Following this, their development and applications for agrifood safety is reviewed, with focus on detection of dye molecules, melamine in food products, and the detection of different classes of pesticides such as organophosphate and neonicotinoids.

Abstract
The reliability and reproducibility of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology is still a great challenge in bio-related analysis. Prussian blue (PB)-based SERS tags have attracted increasing interest for improving these deficiencies due to its unique Raman band (near 2156 cm-1) in the Raman-silent region, providing zero-background bio-Raman labels without interference from endogenous biomolecules. Moreover, the stable PB shell consisting of multiple layers of CN- reporters ensure a stable and strong Raman signal output, avoiding the desorption of the Raman reporter from the plasmonic region by the competitive adsorption of the analyte. More importantly, they possess outstanding multiplexing potential in biological analysis owing to the adjustable Raman shift with unique narrow spectral widths. Despite more attention having been attracted to the structure and preparation of PB-based SERS tags for their better biological applications over the past five years, there is still a great challenge for SERS suitable for applications in the actual environment. The biological applications of PB-based SERS tags are comprehensively recounted in this minireview, mainly focusing on quantification analysis, multiple-spectral analysis and cell-imaging joint phototherapy. The prospects of PB-based SERS tags in clinical diagnosis and treatment are also discussed. This review aims to draw attention to the importance of SERS tags and provide a reference for the design and application of PB-based SERS tags in future bio-applications.

Abstract
Modified colloids and flat surfaces occupy an important place in materials science research due to their widespread applications. Interest in the development of modifiers that adhere strongly to surfaces relates to the need for stability under ambient conditions in many applications. Diazonium salts have evolved as the primary choice for the modification of surfaces. The term "diazonics" has been introduced in the literature to describe "the science and technology of aryldiazonium salt-derived materials". The facile reduction of diazonium salts via chemical or electrochemical processes, irradiation stimuli, or spontaneously results in the efficient modification of gold surfaces. Robust gold-aryl nanoparticles, where gold is connected to the aryl ring through bonding to carbon and films modified by using diazonium salts, are critical in electronics, sensors, medical implants, and materials for power sources. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that gold-carbon interactions constructed via chemical reactions with diazonium salts are stronger than nondiazonium surface modifiers. This invited feature article summarizes the conceptual development of recent studies of diazonium salts in our laboratories and others with a focus on the surface modification of gold nanostructures, flat surfaces and gratings, and their applications in nanomedicine engineering, sensors, energy, forensic science, and catalysis.

Abstract
Pesticide and veterinary drug residues in food and environment pose a threat to human health, and a rapid, super-sensitive, accurate and cost-effective analysis technique is therefore highly required to overcome the disadvantages of conventional techniques based on mass spectrometry. Recently, the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique emerges as a potential promising analytical tool for rapid, sensitive and selective detections of environmental pollutants, mostly owing to its possible simplified sample pretreatment, gigantic detectable signal amplification and quick target analyte identification via finger-printing SERS spectra. So theoretically the SERS detection technology has inherent advantages over other competitors especially in complex environmental matrices. The progress in nanostructure SERS substrates and portable Raman appliances will promote this novel detection technology to play an important role in future rapid on-site assay. This paper reviews the advances in nanostructure-based SERS substrates, sensors and relevant portable integrated systems for environmental analysis, highlights the potential applications in the detections of synthetic chemicals such as pesticide and veterinary drug residues, and also discusses the challenges of SERS detection technique for actual environmental monitoring in the future.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has proven to be a valuable tool for assessing harmful chemicals in various substances, including water, soil, and foods. However, a fast measurement system is required for multiplexed detection to extend the range of its applications. The rotating scanning stage of the SERS substrate is considered to be a promising approach to achieving a fast measurement system. This paper reports a facile measurement system by using a flexible nanocellulose-based SERS substrate and a spiral scanning system, which rotates the cylinder sample holder and moves the stage. A flexible nanocellulose-based SERS substrate deposited with Au nanoparticles is suitable for the spiral scanning system, which requires SERS substrates to be highly flexible and durable. The well-known toxic fungicide, thiram, was tested by this system. The results revealed that the nanocellulose-based SERS substrate is well-fitted with a spiral scanning system and that the signal data from a large area substrate can be obtained within 30 s. It is noteworthy that the error of spiral scanning measurements is smaller than that of multi-spot sampling. This work provides a powerful tool for Raman spectroscopic analysis, which requires quantitative and fast testing. Furthermore, various flexible SERS substrates can be utilized in this system for toxic materials detection.

Abstract
The global population growth demands intensification of anthropogenic processes, thus leading to inter alia pollution of both land and aquatic environments with toxic organic compounds. Particularly harmful synthetic compounds are classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Their relatively high chemical resistance resulted in a worldwide ban or strict control on the use of POPs. The majority of POPs were commonly used as pesticides, and unfortunately, some of them are still utilized as an aid in agricultural practices. Therefore, environmental monitoring in terms of reliable detection and quantification of pesticidal POPs is an ever-increasing need. Chemical sensors and adsorption materials crafted for specific pesticide operate on host-guest interactions should provide selectivity and sensitivity, thus leading to the detection of target molecule down to the nanomolar range. This could be achieved with materials exhibiting a very large active surface area, well-defined structure, and high stability. The novel materials studied in that context are metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The structure of various MOFs can be functionalized to provide desired host-guest interactions. In this mini-review, we critically discuss the application of MOFs for the detection and adsorption of selected pesticides that are classified as POPs according to the Stockholm Convention.

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based substrates have shown great potential for the quantitative analysis of food samples by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) due to their unique properties. Herein, we developed two UiO-66 MOFs/gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) based substrates by self-assembly, including UiO-66/AuNPs suspension substrate and UiO-66(NH2)/AuNPs/Nylon-66 flexible membrane substrate, for quantitative analysis of complex food samples by SERS. UiO-66/AuNPs suspension substrate was prepared for SERS-based determination of a carcinogenic heterocyclic amine in barbecue meat. UiO-66(NH2)/AuNPs/Nylon-66 membrane substrate was fabricated for the simultaneous separation, enrichment, and in situ analysis of Sudan Red 7B in chilli products. The heterocyclic amine and Sudan dye in real samples could be detected and quantified with the recoveries of 82.3-110% and 84.5-114% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 3.1-11.0% and 1.9-5.6% (n = 3) by use of these two substrates, respectively. These two UiO-66/AuNPs based substrates combined molecular enrichment and SERS activity, achieving excellent analytical accuracy and widening SERS application in practical food safety analysis.

Abstract
Pesticides have been widely used in agriculture to control, reduce, and kill insects. Humans are also being using pesticides to control insidious animals in daily life. By these practices, a huge volume of pesticides is introduced to the environment. Despite broad-spectrum applicability, pesticides also have hazardous effects on both humans and animals at high and low concentrations. Long-term exposure to pesticides can cause different diseases, like leukemia, lymphoma, and cancers of the brain, breasts, prostate, testis, and ovaries. Reproductive disorders from pesticides include birth defects, stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, sterility, and infertility. Therefore, the application of determination and treatment methods for pre-concentration and removal of these toxic materials from the environment appears a vital concern. To date, different materials and approaches have been employed for these purposes. Among these approaches, multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-assisted adsorption and determination processes have always been in the spotlight. These facts are due to exclusive properties of MOFs in terms of the crystallinity, large surface area, high chemical, and physical stability, and controllable structure as well as unique features of adsorption and determination process in terms of simple, easy, cheap, available method and ability to use in large and industrial scales. In the present work, we illustrate the exceptional features of MOFs as well as the possible mechanism for the adsorption of pesticides by MOFs. The use of these fantastic materials for pre-concentration and removal of pesticides are extensively explored. In addition, the performance of MOFs was compared with other adsorbents. Finally, the new frontiers and prospects of MOFs for the determination, sensing, and removal of pesticides are presented.

Enantioselective SERS sensing of pseudoephedrine in blood plasma biomatrix by hierarchical mesoporous Au films coated with a homochiral MOF. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 180:113109.

Abstract
Here, we present a new family of hierarchical porous hybrid materials as an innovative tool for ultrasensitive and selective sensing of enantiomeric drugs in complex biosamples via chiral surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Hierarchical porous hybrid films were prepared by the combination of mesoporous plasmonic Au films and microporous homochiral metal-organic frameworks (HMOFs). The proposed hierarchical porous substrates enable extremely low limit of detection values (10-12 M) for pseudoephedrine in undiluted blood plasma due to dual enhancement mechanisms (physical enhancement by the mesoporous Au nanostructures and chemical enhancement by HMOF), chemical recognition by HMOF, and a discriminant function for bio-samples containing large biomolecules, such as blood components. We demonstrate the effect of each component (mesoporous Au and microporous AlaZnCl (HMOF)) on the analytical performance for sensing. The growth of AlaZnCl leads to an increase in the SERS signal (by around 17 times), while the use of mesoporous Au leads to an increase in the signal (by up to 40%). In the presence of a complex biomatrix (blood serum or plasma), the hybrid hierarchical porous substrate provides control over the transport of the molecules inside the pores and prevents blood protein infiltration, provoking competition with existing plasmonic materials at the limit of detection and enantioselectivity in the presence of a multicomponent biomatrix.

0D/2D heteronanostructure-integrated bimetallic CoCu-ZIF nanosheets and MXene-derived carbon dots for impedimetric cytosensing of melanoma B16-F10 cells. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:69.

Abstract
A novel heterogeneous architecture has been constructed integrating two-dimensional (2D) bimetallic CoCu-zeolite imidazole framework (CoCu-ZIF) and zero-dimensional (0D) Ti3C2Tx MXene-derived carbon dots (CDs) (represented by CoCu-ZIF@CDs). The prepared CoCu-ZIF@CDs were further explored as sensitive layer for anchoring B16-F10 cell-targeted aptamer strands and detecting B16-F10 cells from the biological environment. Basic characterization showed that CDs were homogeneously embedded within CoCu-ZIF NSs owing to their π-π stacking interaction, leading to outstanding fluorescence performance of the 0D/2D CoCu-ZIF@CD nanohybrid. As such, the CoCu-ZIF@CD-based cytosensor was applied to detect living B16-F10 cells through electrochemical techniques and cell imaging. Compared with CoCu-ZIF- and CD-based cytosensors, the constructed CoCu-ZIF@CD-based one showed superior sensing performance, with an extremely low limit of detection (LOD) of 33 cells∙mL-1 and a wide range of suspension concentration of 1 × 102-1 × 105 cells∙mL-1 B16-F10 cells. The developed cytosensor also demonstrated excellent detection performance, including cell imaging properties, good selectivity, high stability, and good reproducibility. By anchoring other probe molecules, the constructed CoCu-ZIF@CD-based biosensor can be extensively explored for early diagnosis of other analytes, thereby widening the applications of porous organic frameworks in biosensing and biomedical fields. A novel sensing system for melanoma B16-F10 cells based on a novel CoCu-ZIF@CD nanohybrid has been developed. The CoCu-ZIF@CDs-based cytosensor displayed an extremely low limit of detection (LOD) of 33 cells∙mL-1 within the wide range of B16-F10 cell concentration from 1 × 102 to 1 × 105 cells∙mL-1, accompanying with cell imaging properties, good selectivity, high stability, and well reproducibility.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds naturally produced by certain types of fungi. The contamination of mycotoxins can occur on numerous foodstuffs, including cereals, nuts, fruits, and spices, and pose a major threat to humans and animals by causing acute and chronic toxic effects. In this regard, reliable techniques for accurate and sensitive detection of mycotoxins in agricultural products and food samples are urgently needed. As an advanced analytical tool, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), presents several major advantages, such as ultrahigh sensitivity, rapid detection, fingerprint-type information, and miniaturized equipment. Benefiting from these merits, rapid growth has been observed under the topic of SERS-based mycotoxin detection. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent achievements in this area. The progress of SERS-based label-free detection, aptasensor, and immunosensor, as well as SERS combined with other techniques, has been summarized, and in-depth discussion of the remaining challenges has been provided, in order to inspire future development of translating the techniques invented in scientific laboratories into easy-to-operate analytic platforms for rapid detection of mycotoxins.

Abstract
In this manuscript, silver nanowire 3D random crossed-wire woodpile (3D-RCW) nanostructures were designed and prepared. The 3D-RCW provides rich "antenna" and "hot spot" effects that are responsive for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effects and plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF). The optimal construction mode for the 3D-RCW, based on the ratio of silver nanowire and control compound R6G, was explored and established for use in PEF and SERS analyses. We found that the RCW nanochip capable of emission and Raman-enhanced detections uses micro levels of analysis volumes. Consequently, and SERS and PEF of pesticides (thiram, carbaryl, paraquat, fipronil) were successfully measured and characterized, and their detection limits were within 5 μM~0.05 µM in 20 µL. We found that the designed 3D plasmon-enhanced platform cannot only collect the SERS of pesticides, but also enhance the fluorescence of a weak emitter (pesticides) by more than 1000-fold via excitation of the surface plasmon resonance, which can be used to extend the range of a fluorescence biosensor. More importantly, solid-state measurement using a 3D-RCW nanoplatform shows promising potential based on its dual applications in creating large SERS and PEF enhancements.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are supramolecular nanomaterials, in which metal ions or clusters are connected by organic ligands to form crystalline lattices with highly ordered periodic porous network structure. MOFs have been widely applied in various fields, such as catalyst, sample preparation, and sensing. In recent years, MOFs based surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have attracted much attention since MOFs can largely improve the performance of metallic SERS substrates toward target enrichment and signal enhancement. MOFs have been exploited in SERS analysis to tackle some challenges that bare metal substrates cannot achieve. Combination of MOFs and SERS improved the sensitivity of traditional SERS analysis and extended the application scope of SERS. With the increasing exploration of MOFs based SERS substrates, there is a great demand to review the advances in these researches. Herein, this review concentrated on summarizing the preparation and applications of MOFs based SERS substrates. Representative researches were discussed to better understand the property of MOFs based SERS substrates. The advantages of MOFs based SERS substrates were highlighted, as well as their limitations. In addition, the challenges, opportunities, and future trends in MOFs based SERS analysis were tentatively discussed.

Abstract
For survival and quality of life, human society has sought more productive, precise, and sustainable agriculture. Agrochemistry, which solves farming issues in a chemical manner, is the core engine that drives the evolution of modern agriculture. To date, agrochemistry has utilized chemical technologies in the form of pesticides, fertilizers, veterinary drugs and various functional materials to meet fundamental demands from human society, while increasing the socio-ecological consequences due to inefficient use. Thus, more useful, precise, and designable scaffolding materials are required to support sustainable agrochemistry. Reticular chemistry, which weaves molecular units into frameworks, has been applied in many fields based on two cutting-edge porous framework materials, namely metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs). With flexibility in composition, structure, and pore chemistry, MOFs and COFs have shown increasing functionalities associated with agrochemistry in the last decade, potentially introducing reticular chemistry as a highly accessible chemical toolbox into agrochemical technologies. In this critical review, we will demonstrate how reticular chemistry shapes the future of agrochemistry in the fields of farm sensing, agro-ecological preservation and reutilization, agrochemical formulations, smart indoor farming, agrobiotechnology, and beyond.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides have become promising candidates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), but currently very few examples of detection of relevant molecules are available. Herein, we show the detection of the lipophilic disease marker β-sitosterol on few-layered MoTe2 films. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown films are capable of nanomolar detection, exceeding the performance of alternative noble-metal surfaces. We confirm that the enhancement occurs through the chemical enhancement (CE) mechanism via formation of a surface-analyte complex, which leads to an enhancement factor of ≈104, as confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-vis, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Low values of signal deviation over a seven-layered MoTe2 film confirms the homogeneity and reproducibility of the results in comparison to noble-metal substrate analogues. Furthermore, β-sitosterol detection within cell culture media, a minimal loss of signal over 50 days, and the opportunity for sensor regeneration suggest that MoTe2 can become a promising new SERS platform for biosensing.

Abstract
A novel SERS substrate based on a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) film-modified Au-Ag/Si nanoporous pillar array (ZIF-8/Au-Ag/Si-NPA) was successfully fabricated for pentachlorophenol (PCP) detection. The Au-Ag/Si-NPA was synthesized through immersion plating and replacement reaction on the Si-NPA, which was prepared by the hydrothermal etching. The ZIF-8 film was coated via layer-by-layer growth technique. The ZIF-8 film is nanoporous and its thickness can be controlled by varying the growing number, which can significantly influence the SERS performance of the substrate. The substrate with optimal ZIF-8 thickness exhibited an excellent SERS response to PCP molecules. The SERS enhancement factor reached up to 1.8 × 107 and the detection limit was down to 10-13 M. Moreover, the substrate showed good uniformity with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 8.7% and good selectivity. The PCP detection is hardly interfered by the coexisting organic compounds. The high SERS performance may be due to the enrichment effect of the ZIF-8 film. The ZIF-8 film could capture and enrich the trace PCP molecules by electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged PCP- and the positively charged ZIF-8. This work suggests that the ZIF-8/Au-Ag/Si-NPA substrate has potential application in SERS analysis of the polar organic pollutant detection in environmental media.

Abstract
The efficient utilization of solar energy is the actual task of the present and near future. Thus, the preparation of appropriate materials that are able to harvest and utilize the broad wavelength range of solar light (especially commonly ignored near-infrared light region-NIR) is the high-priority challenging mission. Our study provides a rationally designed two-dimensional (2D) flexible heterostructures with photocatalytic activity for the production of "clean" hydrogen under NIR illumination, with the hydrogen production rate exceeding most 2D materials and the ability to use the seawater as a starting material. The proposed design utilizes the hybrid bimetallic (Au/Pt) periodic structure, which is further covalently grafted with a metal-organic framework MIL-101(Cr). The periodic gold structure is able to efficiently support the plasmon-polariton wave and to excite the hot electrons, which is further injected in the Pt and MIL-101(Cr) layers. The Pt and MIL-101(Cr) structures provide catalytic sites, which are saturated with hot electrons and efficiently initiate water splitting and hydrogen production. The MIL-101(Cr) layer also serves for repelling generated hydrogen bubbles. The mechanistic studies reveal the catalytic role of every element of the 2D flexible heterostructures. The maximum hydrogen output was achieved under plasmon resonance excitation in the NIR range, and it could be actively controlled by the applied LED wavelength.

Abstract
Remote detection of hydrogen, without the utilization of electronic component or elevated temperature, is one of the hot topics in the hydrogen technology and safety. In this work, the design and realization of the optical fiber-based hydrogen sensor with unique characteristics are proposed. The proposed sensor is based on the gold-coated multimode fiber, providing the plasmon properties, decorated by the IRMOF-20 layer with high selectivity and affinity toward hydrogen. The IRMOF-20 layer was grown by a surface-assisted technique, and its formation and properties were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller techniques. Simultaneous ellipsometry results indicate the apparent changes of the refractive index of the IRMOF-20 layer due to hydrogen sorption. As results, the presence of hydrogen led to the pronounced changes of plasmon band wavelength position as well as its intensity increase. The proposed hydrogen sensors were favorably distinguished by a high response/recovery rate, excellent selectivity toward the hydrogen, very low temperature dependency, functionality at room or lower temperature, insensitivity toward the humidity, and the presence of CO2, CO, or NO2. Additionally, the proposed hydrogen sensor showed good reversibility, reproducibility, and long-term stability.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensors utilize the electromagnetic-field enhancement of plasmonic substrates with the chemical specificity of vibrational Raman spectroscopy to identify trace amounts of a wide variety of different target analytes while being minimally affected by photobleaching. However, despite many advantageous features of this method, SERS sensors, particularly for detecting hazardous chemicals, suffer from several limitations such as requirement of gigantic signal enhancement that is often poorly controllable, subtle change and degradation of the SERS substrate, consecutive fluctuation of the signal, the lack of reliable receptors for capturing targets of interest and the absence of general principles for detecting various chemicals in different phases and matrices. To overcome these limitations and for SERS sensors to find practical use, one must (1) acknowledge the characteristics of the matrices of target systems, (2) finely engineer and tune the receptors of the SERS sensor to properly extract the target analyte from the phase, and (3) implement additional mechanistic modifications to enhance the plasmonic signal. This minireview underlines the difficulties associated with different phases and a wide range of target analytes, and introduces the practical measures undertaken to overcome the respective difficulties in SERS-based detection of hazardous chemicals.

SERS-Active Substrate with Collective Amplification Design for Trace Analysis of Pesticides. NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9050664. [PMID: 31035555 PMCID: PMC6566408 DOI: 10.3390/nano9050664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2019] [Revised: 04/23/2019] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Health risks posed by the exposure to trace amounts of pesticide residue in agricultural products have gained a lot of concerns, due to their neurotoxic nature. The applications of surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) as a detection technique have consistently shown its potential as a rapid and sensitive means with minimal sample preparation. In this study, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in elliptical shapes were collected into a layer of ordered zirconia concave pores. The porous zirconia layer (pZrO2) was then deposited with Au NPs, denoted as Au NPs (x)/pZrO2, where x indicates the deposition thickness of Au NPs in nm. In the concave structure of pZrO2, Au-ZrO2 and Au-Au interactions provide a synergistic and physical mechanism of SERS, which is anticipated to collect and amplify SERS signals and thereafter improve the enhancement factor (EF) of Au NPs/pZrO2. By taking Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the test molecule, EF of Au NPs/pZrO2 might reach to 7.0 × 107. Au NPs (3.0)/pZrO2 was then optimized and competent to detect pesticides, e.g., phosmet and carbaryl at very low concentrations, corresponding to the maximum residue limits of each, i.e., 0.3 ppm and 0.2 ppm, respectively. Au NPs (3.0)/pZrO2 also showed the effectiveness of distinguishing between phosmet and carbaryl under mixed conditions. Due to the strong affinities of the phosphoric groups and sulfur in phosmet to the Au NPs (3.0)/pZrO2, the substrate exhibited selective detection to this particular pesticide. In this study, Au NPs (3.0)/pZrO2 has thus demonstrated trace detection of residual pesticides, due to the substrate design that intended to provide collective amplification of SERS.
