Abstract
Surgery remains the standard treatment for spinal metastasis. However, uncontrolled intraoperative bleeding poses a significant challenge for adequate surgical resection and compromises surgical outcomes. In this study, we develop a thrombin (Thr)-loaded nanorobot-hydrogel hybrid superstructure by incorporating nanorobots into regenerated silk fibroin nanofibril hydrogels. This superstructure with superior thixotropic properties is injected percutaneously and dispersed into the spinal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with easy bleeding characteristics, before spinal surgery in a mouse model. Under near-infrared irradiation, the self-motile nanorobots penetrate into the deep spinal tumor, releasing Thr in a controlled manner. Thr-induced thrombosis effectively blocks the tumor vasculature and reduces bleeding, inhibiting tumor growth and postoperative recurrence with Au nanorod-mediated photothermal therapy. Our minimally invasive treatment platform provides a novel preoperative therapeutic strategy for HCC spinal metastasis effectively controlling intraoperative bleeding and tumor growth, with potentially reduced surgical complications and enhanced operative outcomes.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis and effective antiviral treatments are urgently needed for the prevention and control of flu caused by influenza viruses. In this study, a novel oleanic acid (OA) functionalized gold nanorod OA-AuNP was prepared through a convenient ligand-exchange reaction. As hemagglutinin (HA) on the viral surface binds strongly to the multiple OA molecules on the surface of the nanoparticle, the prepared OA-AuNP was found to exhibit potent antiviral activity against a wide range of influenza A virus strains. Furthermore, the change in color resulting from the specific binding between HA and OA and the resultant aggregation of the OA-AuNP can be visually observed or measured by UV-vis spectra with a detection limit of 2 and 0.18 hemagglutination units (HAU), respectively, which is comparable to the commercially available influenza colloid gold rapid diagnostic kits. These findings demonstrate the potential of the OA-AuNP for the development of novel multivalent antiviral conjugates and the diagnosis of influenza virus.

Abstract
Abstract The development of synthetic particles that emulate real viruses in size, shape, and chemical composition is vital to the development of imprinted polymer-based sorbent materials (molecularly imprinted polymers, MIPs). In this study, we address surrogates for adenovirus type 5 (Adv 5) via the synthesis and subsequent modification of icosahedral gold nanoparticles (iAuNPs) decorated with the most abundant protein of the Adv 5 (i.e., hexon protein) at the surface. CTAB-capped iAuNPs with dimensions in the range of 40–90 nm were synthesized, and then CTAB was replaced by a variety of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) in order to introduce suitable functionalities serving as anchoring points for the attachment of the hexon protein. The latter was achieved by non-covalent linking of the protein to the iAuNP surface using a PEG without reactive termination (i.e., methoxy PEG thiol, mPEG-SH, Mn=800). Alternatively, covalent anchoring points were generated by modifying the iAuNPs with a bifunctional PEG (i.e., thiol PEG amine, SH-PEG-NH2) followed by the addition of glutaraldehyde. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the formation of the anchoring points at the iAuNP surface. Next, the amino groups present in the amino acids of the hexon protein interacted with the glutaraldehyde. iAuNPs before and after PEGylation were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS), XPS, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV–Vis spectroscopy, confirming the CTAB–PEG exchange. Finally, the distinct red shift obtained in the UV–Vis spectra of the pegylated iAuNPs in the presence of the hexon protein, the increase in the hydrodynamic diameter, the change in the zeta potential, and the selective binding of the hexon-modified iAuNPs towards a hexon-imprinted polymer (HIP) confirmed success in both the covalent and non-covalent attachment at the iAuNP surface.

Abstract
We present in here a simple and low cost continuous segmented-flow process for the synthesis of Ag and Au spherical-shaped nanoparticles. Different residence times (RT) were used to perform the nanoparticle synthesis, observing that at low RT, the Ag nanoparticles production, which uses a fast reduction reaction with NaBH4, is improved due to an enhancement in the mixing of the reactants. However, the flow conditions have an opposite effect in the case of Au nanoparticles synthesis. Indeed, since the chemical reduction process (Turkevich method) exhibit a much slower kinetics, high RT (low flowrates) improve the synthesis yield and the quality of the nanoparticles. The Ag and Au nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The Ag spherical-shaped nanoparticles presented a LSPR at 400 nm (size ≈ 4 nm), while the synthesized Au nanoparticles exhibit LSPR and sizes in the range 520 - 550 nm and 14 - 17 nm, respectively.

Gold-Modified Micellar Composites as Colorimetric Probes for the Determination of Low Molecular Weight Thiols in Biological Fluids Using Consumer Electronic Devices. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
This work describes a new, low-cost and simple-to-use method for the determination of free biothiols in biological fluids. The developed method utilizes the interaction of biothiols with gold ions, previously anchored on micellar assemblies through electrostatic interactions with the hydrophilic headgroup of cationic surfactant micelles. Specifically, the reaction of AuCl4− with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) produces an intense orange coloration, due to the ligand substitution reaction of the Br− for Cl− anions, followed by the coordination of the AuBr4− anions on the micelle surface through electrostatic interactions. When biothiols are added to the solution, they complex with the gold ions and disrupt the AuBr4−–CTAB complex, quenching the initial coloration and inducing a decrease in the light absorbance of the solution. Biothiols are assessed by monitoring their color quenching in an RGB color model, using a flatbed scanner operating in transmittance mode as an inexpensive microtiter plate photometer. The method was applied to determine the biothiol content in urine and blood plasma samples, with satisfactory recoveries (i.e., >67.3–123% using external calibration and 103.8–115% using standard addition calibration) and good reproducibility (RSD < 8.4%, n = 3).

Abstract
A new approach to develop novel hollow urchinlike copper oxide (CuO) microspheres by the hydrothermal method was reported, and zwitterionic alkyldimethylbetaine (BS) surfactants were employed as templates in the classic copper-ammonia complex systems. Effects of numerous environmental factors on the morphology of CuO particles were studied systematically, in which the concentration and structure of BS predominantly affected the developed CuO materials. It was noticed that hollow urchinlike CuO microspheres were generally formed in the presence of BS regardless of the reaction temperature and time and the source of copper ions. Generally speaking, high concentrations of BS and BS with longer chain length strongly favored the formation of hollow urchinlike CuO microspheres. The microstructures of synthesized CuO particles were studied in detail, and the corresponding formation mechanism of hollow urchinlike CuO microspheres was also proposed based on the selective adsorption of BS on the particular crystal facets of CuO crystals. Moreover, hollow urchinlike CuO microspheres showed excellent performance in the lithium-ion batteries as anode materials with a reversible capability of 511 mA h·g-1 at 0.1 C after 40 charge-discharge cycles, which was one of the best values of CuO materials reported in this field.

Abstract
One-pot wet-chemical synthesis is a simple way to obtain nanoparticles (NPs) with a well-defined shape and composition. However, achieving good control over NP synthesis would require a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of NP formation, something that is challenging to obtain experimentally. Here, we study the formation of gold (Au) core-palladium (Pd) shell NPs under kinetically and thermodynamically controlled reaction conditions using in situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By controlling the reaction temperature, we demonstrate that it is possible to tune the shape of Au nanorods to Au-Pd arrow-headed structures or to cuboidal core-shell NPs. Our in situ studies show that the reaction temperature can switch the Pd shell growth between the kinetically and thermodynamically dominant regimes. The mechanistic insights reported here reveal how the reaction temperature affects the packing of the capping agents and how the facet selection of depositing shell atoms drives the shell formation under different kinetic conditions, which is useful for synthesizing NPs with greater design flexibility in shape and elemental composition for various technological applications.

Abstract
Synthetic colorants in food can be a potential threat to human health. In this study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) coupled with gold nanorods as substrates is proposed to analyze allura red and sunset yellow in beverages. The gold nanorods with different aspect ratios were synthesized, and their long-term stability, SERS activity, and the effect of the different salts on the SERS signal were investigated. The results demonstrate that gold nanorods have a satisfactory stability (stored up to 28 days). SERS coupled with gold nanorods exhibit stronger sensitivity. MgSO4 was chosen to improve the SERS signal of sunset yellow, and no salts could enhance the SERS signal of allura red. The lowest concentration was 0.10 mg/L for both colorant standard solutions. The successful prediction results using SERS were much closer to those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography for the sample in beverages. SERS combined with gold nanorods shows potential for analyzing food colorants and other food additives as a rapid, convenient, and sensitive method.

Abstract
Aim: This article aims to explain the necrosis mechanisms of cancer cells specifically induced by gold nanorods (GNRs). Methods: The intracellular route and location of GNRs, the interaction between GNRs and lysosome, lysosome damage, cathepsin B release, necrosis complex formation, receptor-interacting protein 1 and TNF-α expression were systematically investigated. Results: The GNRs with serum corona were internalized quickly by cancer cells and finally taken up by lysosomes. The GNRs damaged the lysosomal membrane, resulting in the leakage of cathepsin B, which promoted the activation of receptor-interacting protein 1 and necrosomes formation. Necrotic cells and their debris or ill cellular contents were engulfed by macrophages resulting in high-level release of TNF-α, which further confirmed necrosis. Conclusion: GNRs can specifically trigger lysosome-dependent necrosis in cancer cells.

Abstract
The interaction between gold nanorods (Au NRs), synthesized by a conventional seeded growth protocol, and the anionic tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS4) has been investigated through various spectroscopic techniques. At neutral pH, the formation of H-aggregates and the inclusion of porphyrin monomers in CTAB micelles covering the nanorods have been evidenced. Under mild acidic conditions (pH=3) a nano-hybrid assembly of porphyrin J-aggregates and Au NRs has been revealed. For the sake of comparison, Cu(II) and Zn(II) metal porphyrin derivatives as well as a cationic porphyrin have been studied in the same experimental conditions, showing that: i) CuTPPS4 forms porphyrin H-dimers onto the Au NRs; ii) ZnTPPS4 undergoes to demetallation, followed by acidification of the central core and eventually aggregation onto Au NRs; iii) cationic porphyrin does not interact with Au NRs.

Abstract
Aim: The main aim of this article is to explain the apoptosis mechanisms of cancer cells specifically triggered by gold nanorods (GNRs). Materials & methods: GNRs were synthesized and optimized, the lysosome damage, cathepsin D, mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase-9, cleaved caspase-9, caspase-3 and intracellular GNRs location related to apoptosis was systematically evaluated. Results: GNRs specifically induce cancer cell apoptosis while posing a negligible impact on normal cells. After incubation with GNRs, the lysosomal permeability in cancer cells as indicated by cathepsin D was markedly higher than that in normal cells and resulted in an obvious decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. Western blot analysis further confirmed that apoptosis occurred through caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation following mitochondrial damage. Transmission electron microscope images showed that GNRs did not appear in most of the damaged mitochondria but mainly accumulated in lysosomes. Conclusion: These findings indicated that GNR-induced apoptosis specifically in cancer cells by affecting lysosomes and mitochondria.

Abstract
We conceptually selected the compounds REPb3 (RE = Eu, Yb), which are unstable in air, and converted them to the stable materials in ambient conditions by the chemical processes of "nanoparticle formation" and "dimensional reduction". The nanoparticles and the bulk counterparts were synthesized by the solvothermal and high-frequency induction furnace heating methods, respectively. The reduction of the particle size led to the valence transition of the rare earth atom, which was monitored through magnetic susceptibility and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) measurements. The stability was checked by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis over a period of seven months in oxygen and argon atmospheres and confirmed by XANES. The nanoparticles showed outstanding stability toward aerial oxidation over a period of seven months compared to the bulk counterpart, as the latter one is more prone to the oxidation within a few days.

Abstract
Inorganic materials with controllable shapes have been an intensely studied subject in nanoscience over the past decades. Control over novel and anisotropic shapes of inorganic nanomaterials differing from those of bulk materials leads to unique and tunable properties for widespread applications such as biomedicine, catalysis, fuels or solar cells and magnetic data storage. This review presents a comprehensive overview of shape-controlled inorganic nanomaterials via nucleation and growth theory and the control of experimental conditions (including supersaturation, temperature, surfactants and secondary nucleation), providing a brief account of the shape control of inorganic nanoparticles during wet-chemistry synthetic processes. Subsequently, typical mechanisms for shape-controlled inorganic nanoparticles and the general shape of the nanoparticles formed by each mechanism are also expounded. Furthermore, the differences between similar mechanisms for the shape control of inorganic nanoparticles are also clearly described. The authors envision that this review will provide valuable guidance on experimental conditions and process control for the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles with tunable shapes in the solution state.

Abstract
The use of agrochemical-nutrient fertilizers has come under scrutiny in recent years due to concerns that they damage the ecosystem and endanger public health. Nanotechnology offers many possible interventions to mitigate these risks by use of nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nanosensors; and concurrently increases profitability, yields, and sustainability within the agricultural industry. Aerosol based foliar delivery of nanoparticles may help to enhance nanoparticle uptake and reduce environmental impacts of chemical fertilizers conventionally applied through a soil route. The purpose of this work was to study uptake, translocation, and accumulation of various gold nanostructures, 30-80 nm, delivered by aerosol application to a watermelon plant. Cellular uptake and accumulation of gold nanoparticles were quantified by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS). Observations suggested that nanoparticles could be taken up by the plant through direct penetration and transport through the stomatal opening. Observed translocation of nanoparticles from leaf to root shows evidence that nanoparticles travel by the phloem transport mechanism. Accumulation and transport of nanoparticles depend on nanoparticle shape, application method, and nature of plant tissues.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles (such as gold and silver) have been intensely studied for wound healing applications due to their ability to be easily functionalized, possess antibacterial properties, and their strong potential for targeted drug release. In this study, rod-shaped silver nanorods (AgNRs) and gold nanorods (AuNRs) were fabricated by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD), and their cytotoxicity toward human skin fibroblasts were assessed and compared to sphere-shaped silver nanospheres (AgNSs) and gold nanospheres (AuNSs). Results showed that the 39.94 nm AgNSs showed the greatest toxicity with fibroblast cells followed by the 61.06 nm AuNSs, ∼556 nm × 47 nm (11.8:1 aspect ratio) AgNRs, and the ∼534 nm × 65 nm (8.2:1 aspect ratio) AuNRs demonstrated the least amount of toxicity. The calculated IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) value for the AgNRs exposed to fibroblasts was greater after 4 days of exposure (387.3 μg mL(-1)) compared to the AgNSs and AuNSs (4.3 and 23.4 μg mL(-1), respectively), indicating that these spherical metallic nanoparticles displayed a greater toxicity to fibroblast cells. The IC50 value could not be measured for the AuNRs due to an incomplete dose response curve. The reduced cell toxicity with the presently developed rod-shaped nanoparticles suggests that they may be promising materials for use in numerous biomedical applications.

Abstract
Excavated polyhedral nanostructures, possessing the features of high surface area and well-defined surface structure with a specific crystal facet and avoidance of aggregation, could be one of the best choices for the purpose of reducing consumption and improving performance of noble metals in many application fields. However, the formation of the excavated structures is thermodynamically unfavourable and its rational synthesis is far beyond our knowledge. In this work, taking overgrowth of Pd onto trioctahedral Au nanocrystals as a model, we present a deep insight study for synthesizing an excavated structure relying on the protection role of surfactants under suitable crystal growth kinetics. Based on the abovementioned understanding, we designed a simple and effective strategy to synthesize Au nanocrystals with excavated trioctahedral structure in one step. Due to the novel feature of the excavated structure and exposed high energy {110} facets, excavated trioctahedral Au NCs exhibited optical extinction at the near-infrared region and showed high catalytic activity towards the reduction of p-nitrophenol. Moreover, the synthetic strategy can be extended to the synthesis of excavated Au-Pd alloys.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNRs) overcoated with SiO2 are of interest for enhancing the shape stability of GNRs during photo-thermal heating, for further functionalization with silanes, and for biomedical applications. While methods have recently been developed for synthesizing GNRs on a large scale, SiO2 overcoating of GNRs is still conducted on a small reaction scale. Here, we report a method for large-scale synthesis of SiO2-overcoated GNRs (SiO2-GNRs), which gives ~190 mg of SiO2-GNRs. SiO2 is deposited onto and encapsulates the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) coatings that stabilize GNRs by adding tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) via syringe pump. Control over the CTAB concentration is critically important for obtaining uniform overcoatings. Optical absorbance spectra of SiO2-GNRs closely resemble uncoated GNRs, which indicates overcoating of single rather than multiple GNRs and confirms that they remain well dispersed. By adjusting the reaction conditions, shells as thick as ~20 nm can be obtained. For thin shells (< 10 nm), addition of poly(ethylene glycol) silane (PEG-silane) at different times during the overcoating reaction allows facile control over the shell thickness, giving shells as thin as ~2 nm. The bulky PEG chain terminates further crosslinking and deposition of SiO2.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles are used in a wide variety of applications over a broad array of fields including medicine, energy, and environmental chemistry. The continued successful development of this material class requires the accurate characterization of nanoparticle stability for a variety of solution-based conditions. Although many characterization methods exists, there is an absence of a unified, quantitative means for assessing the colloidal stability of plasmonic nanoparticles. We present the particle instability parameter (PIP) as a robust, quantitative, and generalizable characterization technique based on UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy to characterize colloidal instability. We validate PIP performance with both traditional and alternative characterization methods by measuring gold nanorod instability in response to different salt (NaCl) concentrations. We further measure gold nanorod stability as a function of solution pH, salt, and buffer (type and concentration), nanoparticle concentration, and concentration of free surfactant. Finally, these results are contextualized within the literature on gold nanorod stability to establish a standardized methodology for colloidal instability assessment.

Abstract
The development of top-down nanofabrication techniques has opened many possibilities for the design and realization of complex devices based on single molecule phenomena such as e.g. single molecule electronic devices. These impressive achievements have been complemented by the fundamental understanding of self-assembly phenomena, leading to bottom-up strategies to obtain hybrid nanomaterials that can be used as building blocks for more complex structures. In this feature article we highlight some relevant published work as well as present new experimental results, illustrating the versatility of self-assembly methods combined with top-down fabrication techniques for solving relevant challenges in modern nanotechnology. We present recent developments on the use of hierarchical self-assembly methods to bridge the gap between sub-nanometer and micrometer length scales. By the use of non-covalent self-assembly methods, we show that we are able to control the positioning of nanoparticles on surfaces, and to address the deterministic assembly of nano-devices with potential applications in plasmonic sensing and single-molecule electronics experiments.

Abstract
The self-assembly of individual nanoparticles into dimers-so-called heterodimers-is relevant for a broad range of applications, in particular in the vibrant field of nanoplasmonics and nanooptics. In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of material- and shape-selected nanoparticle heterodimers assembled from individual particles via electrostatic interaction. The versatility of the synthetic strategy is shown by assembling combinations of metal particles of different shapes, sizes, and metal compositions like a gold sphere (90 nm) with either a gold cube (35 nm), gold rhombic dodecahedron (50 nm), palladium truncated cube (120 nm), palladium rhombic dodecahedron (110 nm), palladium octahedron (130 nm), or palladium cubes (25 and 70 nm) as well as a silver sphere (90 nm) with palladium cubes (25 and 70 nm). The obtained heterodimer combinations are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDX), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta-potential measurements. We describe the optimal experimental conditions to achieve the highest yield of heterodimers compared to other aggregates. The experimental results have been rationalized using theoretical modeling. A proof-of-principle experiment where individual Au-Pd heterodimers are exploited for indirect plasmonic sensing of hydrogen finally illustrates the potential of these structures to probe catalytic processes at the single particle level.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) stabilized by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were deposited onto crystals of α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) inclusion compounds (ICs) that contained octanethiol (OT) as guest molecules. The nanodecoration was produced specifically at the {001} crystal planes through interaction between the -SH groups of the ICs and the AuNRs.
