Ye H, Esfahani EB, Chiu I, Mohseni M, Gao G, Yang T. Quantitative and rapid detection of nanoplastics labeled by luminescent metal phenolic networks using surface-enhanced Raman scattering. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134194. [PMID: 38583196 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
The escalating prevalence of nanoplastics contamination in environmental ecosystems has emerged as a significant health hazard. Conventional analytical methods are suboptimal, hindered by their inefficiency in analyzing nanoplastics at low concentrations and their time-intensive processes. In this context, we have developed an innovative approach that employs luminescent metal-phenolic networks (L-MPNs) coupled with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to separate and label nanoplastics, enabling rapid, sensitive and quantitative detection. Our strategy utilizes L-MPNs composed of zirconium ions, tannic acid, and rhodamine B to uniformly label nanoplastics across a spectrum of sizes (50-500 nm) and types (e.g., polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate, polylactic acid). Rhodamine B (RhB) functions as a Raman reporter within these L-MPNs-based SERS tags, providing the requisite sensitivity for trace measurement of nanoplastics. Moreover, the labeling with L-MPNs aids in the efficient separation of nanoplastics from liquid media. Utilizing a portable Raman instrument, our methodology offers cost-effective, swift, and field-deployable detection capabilities, with excellent sensitivity in nanoplastic analysis and a detection threshold as low as 0.1 μg/mL. Overall, this study proposes a highly promising strategy for the robust and sensitive analysis of a broad spectrum of particle analytes, underscored by the effective labeling performance of L-MPNs when coupled with SERS techniques.

Abstract
In this work, we develop a dual recycling amplification aptasensor for sensitive and rapid detection of lead ions (Pb2+) using fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (FL-SERS). The aptasensor allows targeted cleavage of substrates through specifically binding with the Pb2+-dependent aptamer (M-PS2.M). Ultrasensitive detection of trace Pb2+ has been achieved using an enzyme-free nonlinear hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and the FL-SERS technique. The lower limit of detection (LOD = 3σ/k) is 0.115 pM in FL mode and 1.261 fM in SERS mode. The aptasensor is characterized by high reliability and specificity, among other things, to distinguish Pb2+ from other metal ions. In addition, the aptasensor can detect Pb2+ in actual water with good recovery. Compared with the single-mode aptasensor, the dual-mode aptasensor is characterized by high reliability, an extensive detection range, and high specificity.

Abstract
Dual-mode sensing has attracted more attentions which provide more accurate and reliable approach of cancer-related biomarkers. Herein, we developed a novel SERS/electrochemical dual-mode biosensor for miRNA 21 detection based on Exo III-assisted signal transformation. Firstly, the Au NPs were deposited on electrode as SERS substrate and Mn3O4/S4(DNA signal strand) was modified on Au NPs/S5 by the DNA strands S5-S4 pairing principle as hydrogen peroxide catalyst, leading to an obviously high DPV electrical signal without Raman signal. Subsequently, the presence of miRNA 21 will activate the Mn3O4/S4 to be decomposed under exonuclease III-assisted process, then the S3' chains modified with Raman molecular Cy3(Cy3-S3') is continuously connected to the Au NPs/S5 by DNA stands S5-S3' pairing principle, leading to the Raman signal response and DPV signal reduction. The biosensor shows good linear calibration curves of both SERS and electrochemical sensing modes with the detection limit of 3.98 × 10-3 nM and 6.89 × 10-5 nM, respectively. This work finds an ingenious mode for dual detection of microRNA on a same interface, which opens a new strategy for SERS and electrochemical analysis.

Abstract
Pesticide residues in agri-foods have risk to human health and one solution is to develop simple and accurate methods for rapid detection. We developed a SERS sensor composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and bacterial cellulose nanocrystal (BCNC) to detect thiram in fruit juice. BCNC-SO3H was used as a stabilizer to support AuNPs via electrostatic repulsion, fabricating a BCNC-AuNPs SERS substrate with uniformly distributed AuNPs. This BCNC-AuNPs SERS substrate was applied to determine thiram residues in peach juice, apple juice, and grape juice with the limits of detection of 0.036 ppm, 0.044 ppm, and 0.044 ppm, respectively. The whole test took 12 min including sample preparation and analysis. The detection limits meet the maximum residue levels of thiram in fruit juices required by China, Europe and North America, indicating that this BCNC-based substrate could serve as a satisfactory SERS sensor for pesticide residue monitoring in the food supply chain.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is one of the factors that promote melanogenesis. Trivalent iron ions play a key role in regulating the iron-catalysed oxidative stress response. A novel SERS flexible membrane sensor based on tannic acid with good sensitivity and uniformity was prepared by green in situ reduction of gold nanoparticles on bacterial cellulose membrane(BCM)with a simple and highly selective method to detect Fe3+. Under alkaline conditions, Fe3+ is adsorbed on the BCM-TA@Au NPs flexible membrane by tannic acid (TA) through chelation, thus enabling the detection of Fe3+. Furthermore, this simple detection system has a wide linear detection range and high sensitivity to effortlessly evaluate Fe3+ at concentrations up to 10-7 M. More importantly, the proposed SERS flexible substrate performed well in determining Fe3+ concentrations in B16 melanocytes, providing new insights into the factors affecting the melanin synthesis pathway and providing a potential biomarker for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Cellulose material holds considerable promise for effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate construction due to its extensive availability, chemically modifying capacity, ease of manufacture, high flexibility and low optical activity. A large-area, high-sensitivity, stable and uniform Au@Ag nanorods (NRs)-CMC substrate was successfully developed via electrostatic repulsion by using negatively-charged core-shell Au@Ag NRs as SERS active plasmonic nanomaterial, combined with negatively-charged carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) hydrogel for nanoparticles stabilization, homodisperse and protection. The obtained Au@Ag NRs-CMC substrate showed excellent sensitivity for the detection of thiram residues in fruits containing low and abundant pigment interferents, such as apples and blueberries, with detection limits of 58 and 78 ppb, respectively. Additionally, it retained more than 80% SERS performance after storage for 9 months under ambient conditions, demonstrating its great potential in facilitating the commercialization of cellulose-based SERS technology for cost-effective detection of food contaminants with advantages of facile preparation procedure, uniformity, reproducibility and long-term stability.

Abstract
A smart gating membrane based on thermal-sensitive poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM)-grafted nanocellulose and carbon nanotube (CNT) was prepared. The presence of PNIPAM shell on cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) endow the composite membrane with thermal responsiveness. By external stimulation, an increase temperature from 10 °C to 70 °C allows the average pore size of the membrane to be controlled from 28 nm to 110 nm, as well as the water permeance from 440 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 to 1088 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1. The gating ratio of the membrane can reach 2.47. The photothermal effect of CNT rapidly warms up the membrane to the lowest critical solution temperature in the water, avoiding the constraint that the whole water phase cannot be heated throughout the practical use process. The membrane can precisely control the nanoparticles to concentrate at 25.3 nm, 47.7 nm or 102 nm by adjust the temperature. In addition, the water permeance can be restored to 370 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 by washing the membrane under light. The smart gating membrane has a wide application in substance multi-stage separation and selective separation, and it can realize self-cleaning.

Abstract
A novel S-CNF-based nanocomposite was created using sulfonated cellulose nanofiber (S-CNF) to enable the detection of NADH in serum by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The numerous hydroxyl and sulfonic acid groups on the S-CNF surface absorbed silver ions and converted them to silver seeds, which formed the load fulcrum. After adding a reducing agent, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were firmly adhered to the S-CNF surface to form stable 1D "hot spots." The S-CNF-Ag NP substrate demonstrated outstanding SERS performance, including good uniformity with an RSD of 6.88% and an enhancement factor (EF) of 1.23 × 107. Owing to the anionic charge repulsion effect, the S-CNF-Ag NP substrate still maintains remarkable dispersion stability after 12 months of preservation. Finally, S-CNF-Ag NPs' surface was modified with 4-mercaptophenol (4-MP), a special redox Raman signal molecule, to detect reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The results showed that the detection limit (LOD) of NADH was 0.75 μM; a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.993) was established in the concentration range 10-6 - 10-2 M. The SERS nanoprobe enabled rapid detection of NADH in human serum without any complicated sample pretreatment and provides a new potential to detect biomarkers.

Abstract
Label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis shows tremendous potential for the early diagnosis and screening of colon cancer, owing to the advantage of being noninvasive and sensitive. As a clinical diagnostic tool, however, the reproducibility of analytical methods is a priority. Herein, we successfully fabricated Ag NPs/cellulose nanocrystals/graphene oxide (Ag NPs/CNC/GO) nanocomposite film as a uniform SERS active substrate for label-free SERS analysis of clinical serum. The Ag NPs/CNC/GO suspensions by self-assembling GO into CNC solution through in-situ reduction method. Furthermore, we spin-coated the prepared suspensions on the bacterial cellulose membrane (BCM) to form Ag NPs/CNC/GO nanocomposite film. The nanofilm showed excellent sensitivity (LOD = 30 nM) and uniformity (RSD = 14.2%) for Nile Blue A detection. With a proof-of-concept demonstration for the label-free analysis of serum, the nanofilm combined with the principal component analysis-linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) model can be effectively employed for colon cancer screening. The results showed that our model had an overall prediction accuracy of 84.1% for colon cancer (n = 28) and the normal (n = 28), and the specificity and sensitivity were 89.3% and 71.4%, respectively. This study indicated that label-free serum SERS analysis based on Ag NPs/CNC/GO nanocomposite film combined with machine learning holds promise for the early diagnosis of colon cancer.

Multifunctional Plasmon-Tunable Au Nanostars and Their Applications in Highly Efficient Photothermal Inactivation and Ultra-Sensitive SERS Detection. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:4232. [PMID: 36500854 PMCID: PMC9738658 DOI: 10.3390/nano12234232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The development and application in different fields of multifunctional plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) have always been research hotspots. Herein, multi-tip Au nanostars (NSs) with an anisotropic structure were fabricated for the photothermal therapy (PTT) of bacteria and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of pollutants. The size and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) characteristics of Au NSs were adjusted by varying Au seed additions. In addition, photothermal conversion performance of Au NSs with various Au seed additions was evaluated. Photothermal conversion efficiency of Au NSs with optimal Au seed additions (50 μL) was as high as 28.75% under 808 nm laser irradiation, and the heat generated was sufficient to kill Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Importantly, Au NSs also exhibited excellent SERS activity for the 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) probe molecule, and the local electromagnetic field distribution of Au NSs was explored through finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation. As verified by experiments, Au NSs' SERS substrate could achieve a highly sensitive detection of a low concentration of potentially toxic pollutants such as methylene blue (MB) and bilirubin (BR). This work demonstrates a promising multifunctional nanoplatform with great potential for efficient photothermal inactivation and ultra-sensitive SERS detection.

Magnetic-Core-Shell-Satellite Fe 3O 4-Au@Ag@(Au@Ag) Nanocomposites for Determination of Trace Bisphenol A Based on Surface-Enhanced Resonance Raman Scattering (SERRS). NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:3322.

Abstract
As a typical representative of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), bisphenol A (BPA) is a common persistent organic pollutant in the environment that can induce various diseases even at low concentrations. Herein, the magnetic Fe3O4-Au@Ag@(Au@Ag) nanocomposites (CSSN NCs) have been prepared by self-assembly method and applied for ultra-sensitive surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) detection of BPA. A simple and rapid coupling reaction of Pauly's reagents and BPA not only solved the problem of poor affinity between BPA and noble metals, but also provided the SERRS activity of BPA azo products. The distribution of hot spots and the influence of incremental introduction of noble metals on the performance of SERRS were analyzed by a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. The abundance of hot spots generated by core-shell-satellite structure and outstanding SERRS performance of Au@Ag nanocrystals were responsible for excellent SERRS sensitivity of CSSN NCs in the results. The limit of detection (LOD) of CSSN NCs for BPA azo products was as low as 10-10 M. In addition, the saturation magnetization (Ms) value of CSSN NCs was 53.6 emu·g-1, which could be rapidly enriched and collected under the condition of external magnetic field. These magnetic core-shell-satellite NCs provide inspiration idea for the tailored design of ultra-sensitive SERRS substrates, and thus exhibit limitless application prospects in terms of pollutant detection, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
