Abstract
Nowadays, trace detection of thiram is in urgent demand due to its widespread application in agriculture and significant harmful effects on public health. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) sea cucumber-like flexible porous surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate composed of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane, ZnO nanorods, gold films, and Ag nanoparticles (Ag/Au/ZnO/P) has been established for the highly sensitive detection of thiram. The substrate takes advantage of the 3D morphology of the Ag/Au/ZnO system on a flexible porous PVDF membrane to produce abundant plasmonic hot spots. Meanwhile, the employment of an AgNPs/Au shell system combined the benefits of both gold and silver metals, thus guaranteeing stable and sensitive detection. With 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) as a probe molecule, the Ag/Au/ZnO/P substrate exhibited excellent linear detection in the range of 10-11-10-5 M, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99 and an enhancement cofactor of 7.09 × 107. The substrate exhibited excellent uniformity with a related standard deviation (RSD) value of 3.82% and demonstrated high stability during a 15 d-storage test. In addition, the substrate could detect thiram in an aqueous solution at concentrations as low as 10-10 M with excellent selectivity. Meanwhile, thiram on the surface of apple peel could be easily detected by the Ag/Au/ZnO/P substrate with the "paste-and-peel" method in less than 10 s, and the detection limit could be as low as 0.48 ng cm-2. Overall, the remarkable performance of the Ag/Au/ZnO/P SERS substrate demonstrated its great potential for the environmental monitoring of thiram.

Hybrid lipid-AuNP clusters as highly efficient SERS substrates for biomedical applications. Nat Commun 2024; 15:7975. [PMID: 39266504 PMCID: PMC11392932 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-52205-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Although Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) is widely applied for ultrasensitive diagnostics and imaging, its potential is largely limited by the difficult preparation of SERS tags, typically metallic nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with Raman-active molecules (RRs), whose production often involves complex synthetic approaches, low colloidal stability and poor reproducibility. Here, we introduce LipoGold Tags, a simple platform where gold NPs (AuNPs) clusters form via self-assembly on lipid vesicle. RRs embedded in the lipid bilayer experience enhanced electromagnetic field, significantly increasing their Raman signals. We modulate RRs and lipid vesicle concentrations to achieve optimal SERS enhancement and we provide robust structural characterization. We further demonstrate the versatility of LipoGold Tags by functionalizing them with biomolecular probes, including antibodies. As proof of concept, we successfully detect intracellular GM1 alterations, distinguishing healthy donors from patients with infantile GM1 gangliosidosis, showcasing LipoGold Tags as advancement in SERS probes production.

Abstract
Nanogap-based plasmonic metal nanocrystals have been applied in surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection, while the closed and insufficient electromagnetic fields as well as the nonreproducible Raman signal of the substrate greatly restrict the actual application. Herein, a highly uniform Au/AgAu monolayer with abundant nanogaps and huge electromagnetic enhancement is prepared, which shows ultrasensitive and reproducible SERS detection. Au/AgAu with an inner nanogap is first prepared based on Au nanotriangles, and the nanogap is opened from the three tips via a subsequent etching process. The open-gap Au/AgAu displays much higher SERS efficiency than Au and Au/AgAu with an inner nanogap on detecting crystal violet due to the open-gap induced electromagnetic enhancement and improved molecular absorption. Furthermore, the open-gap Au/AgAu monolayer is prepared via interfacial self-assembly, which shows further improved SERS due to the dense and strong hotspots in the nanocavities induced by the electromagnetic coupling between adjacent open gaps. The monolayer possesses excellent signal stability, uniformity, and reproducibility. The analytic enhancement factor and relative standard deviation reach to 2.12 × 108 and 4.65% on detecting crystal violet, respectively. Moreover, the monolayer achieves efficient detection of thiram in apple juice, biphenyl-4-thiol, 4-mercaptobenzoic, melamine, and a mixed solution of four different molecules, showing great promise in practical detection.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 300:122897.

Abstract
The abuse of benzodiazepines is a serious health hazard that can cause damage to the central nervous system.Trace monitoring of benzodiazepines in serum can effectively prevent the damage caused by these drugs. Therefore, in this study, a Fe3O4@PDA@Au core-shell satellite nanomaterial SERS(Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering) probe that integrates magnetic separation techniques and a multi-hotspot structure was synthetized by in situ growth of gold nanoparticles on the surface of PDA(Polymerized dopamine)-coated Fe3O4. The size and gap of Au nanoparticles on the surface of the SERS probe can be modulated by regulating the amount of HAuCl4 to create 3D multi-hotspot structures. The good dispersion and superparamagnetic properties of this SERS probe enable it to fully contact and load the target molecules in the serum, and the applied magnetic field facilitates separation and enrichment.This process increases the molecular density and number of SERS hotspots, thereby enhancing detection sensitivity. Based on the above considerations, this SERS probe can detect traces of eszopiclone and diazepam in serum at concentrations as low as 1 μg/ml with good linearity, offering promising applications in clinical monitoring of drug concentrations in blood.

Abstract
A novel fingerprinting platform for multiplex detection of flavor molecules in Baijiu was developed by using a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanosensor array in combination with machine learning. The SERS sensors were constructed by core-shell Fe3O4@Ag nanoparticles modified with molecules carrying end-groups of hydroxyl, pyridyl, methyl, and amino, respectively, which interacted with flavors and led to changes in the sensors' spectra. All the Raman spectra acquired from the nanosensor array contacting with the sample were concatenated into a single SERS super-spectrum, representing the flavor fingerprint which was recognized through machine learning. Principal component analysis, support vector machine, and partial least squares were utilized to build classification and quantitation models for predictive analyses. The SERS nanosensor array was successfully used for fingerprinting ten typical flavors in Baijiu including four esters, three alcohols, and three acids, with an accuracy of 100%, linear detection ranges over two orders of magnitude, and limits of detection ranging from 3.45 × 10-3 mg/L of phenylethyl acetate to 1.21 × 10-2 mg/L of ethyl hexanoate. It was also demonstrated that satisfactory accuracies (recoveries) ranging from 96.2 to 104% and relative standard deviations ranging from 0.65 to 2.78% were obtained for the simultaneous quantification of 3-methylbutyl acetate and phenylethyl acetate in eighteen Baijiu samples of three flavor types including sauce flavor, strong flavor, and light flavor. Compared with the existing detection techniques, this chemical fingerprinting platform is easy to use, highly sensitive, and can perform multiplex detection, which has great potential for practical applications.

Abstract
The fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures with a reliable, low cost and easy approach has become a crucial and urgent challenge in many fields, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based applications. In this frame, nanoporous metal films are quite attractive, due to their intrinsic large surface area and high density of metal nanogaps, acting as hot-spots for Raman signal enhancement. In this paper, we report a detailed study on the fabrication of nanoporous silver-based SERS substrates, obtained by the application of two successive treatments with an Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) system, using synthetic air and Ar as feeding gases. The obtained substrates exhibit a quite broad plasmonic response, covering the Vis–NIR range, and an enhancement factor reaching 6.5 \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Moreover, the substrates exhibit a quite good spatial reproducibility on a centimeter scale, which assures a good signal stability for analytical measurements. Globally, the developed protocol is easy and cost effective, potentially usable also for mass production thanks to the remarkable inter-batches reproducibility. As such, it holds promise for its use in SERS-based sensing platforms for sensitive detection of targets molecules.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing has always been considered as a kind of high-efficiency analysis technique in different areas. Herein, we report a AgNPs decorated 3D bionic silicon (Si) nanograss SERS substrate with higher sensitivity and specificity by green galvanic displacement. The Si nanograss arrays are directly grown on a Si substrate via catalyst-assisted vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth and subsequent plasma interaction. AgNPs were rapidly immobilized on Si nanograss arrays without any organic reagents, and avoiding the interference signal of additives. The AgNPs decorated 3D bionic silicon nanograss arrays not only possess a larger specific surface area (loading more reporter molecules), but also provide a potential distribution and arrangement for plentiful hot spots. Using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a probe molecule, the prepared SERS substrates exhibited great potential for high-sensitivity SERS sensing, and pushed the limit of detection (LOD) down to 0.1 pM. A higher Raman analytical enhancement factor (AEF, 3.3 × 107) was obtained, which was two magnitudes higher than our previous Ag micro–nano structures. Additionally, the practicality and reliability of our 3D bionic SERS substrates were confirmed by quantitative analysis of the spiked Sudan I in environmental water, with a wide linear range (from 10−10 M to 10−6 M) and low detection limit (0.1 nM). The Si nanograss arrays are directly grown on Si substrate via catalyst-assisted VLS growth and subsequent plasma interaction. AgNPs were rapidly immobilized on Si nanograss arrays for SERS sensing, without any organic reagents and additives.![]()

Abstract
The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique, that uses magnetic plasmonic particles (MPPs), is an advanced SERS detection platform owing to the synergetic effects of the particles’ magnetic and plasmonic properties. As well as being an ultrasensitive and reliable SERS material, MPPs perform various functions, such as aiding in separation, drug delivery, and acting as a therapeutic material. This literature discusses the structure and multifunctionality of MPPs, which has enabled the novel application of MPPs to various biological fields.

Abstract
Black silicon (bSi) refers to an etched silicon surface comprising arrays of microcones that effectively suppress reflection from UV to near-infrared (NIR) while simultaneously enhancing the scattering and absorption of light. This makes bSi covered with a nm-thin layer of plasmonic metal, i.e., gold, an attractive substrate material for sensing of bio-macromolecules and living cells using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The performed Raman measurements accompanied with finite element numerical simulation and density functional theory analysis revealed that at the 785 nm excitation wavelength, the SERS enhancement factor of the bSi/Au substrate is as high as 108 due to a combination of electromagnetic and chemical mechanisms. This finding makes the SERS-active bSi/Au substrate suitable for detecting trace amounts of organic molecules. We demonstrate the outstanding performance of this substrate by highly sensitive and specific detection of a small organic molecule of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid and living C6 rat glioma cell nucleic acids/proteins/lipids. Specifically, the bSi/Au SERS-active substrate offers a unique opportunity to investigate the living cells' malignant transformation using characteristic protein disulfide Raman bands as a marker. Our findings evidence that bSi/Au provides a pathway to the highly sensitive and selective, scalable, and low-cost substrate for lab-on-a-chip SERS biosensors that can be integrated into silicon-based photonics devices.

Abstract
Magnetic materials have been widely used for constructing substrate in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing due to the magnetic responsibility. Here, we reported a facile and effective approach to construct multi-functional SERS substrate based on assembling Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on porous Fe microspheres. The porous Fe microspheres were prepared through hydrogen reduction of Fe2O3 NPs with porous structure, in which the size and morphology of Fe could be well controlled. The surface of Fe was grafted with amino group, and then decorated with Ag NPs. The surface area and pore size of Fe microsphere were characterized by nitrogen adsorption and desorption. The Fe@Ag nanocomposite illustrated a good SERS activity. Furthermore, this substrate could be used for pesticide monitoring by portable Raman spectrometer. Especially, the porous Fe microsphere could adsorb analyte from target sample and the Fe@Ag could be concentrated by magnetic force to amplify the SERS signal for thiram detection.

Abstract
The adhesion and proliferation of bacteria on abiotic surfaces pose challenges in both health care and industrial applications. Gold nanostars (GNSs) monolayers grafted on glass have demonstrated to exert antibacterial action due to their photo-thermal features. Here, these GNS layers were further functionalized using thiols monolayers, in order to impart different wettability to the surfaces and thus adding a feature that could help to fight bacterial proliferation. Thiol that has different functional groups was used and the thiol-protected surfaces were characterized by means of UV-vis spectroscopy, contact angles, SEM and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). We verified that (i) coating with the proper thiol allows us to impart high hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity to the surfaces (with contact angle values ranging from 10 to 120°); (ii) GNS monolayers are strongly stabilized by functionalization with thiols, with shelf stability increasing from a few weeks to more than three months and (iii) photo-thermal features and subsequent antibacterial effects caused by hyperthermia are not changed by thiols layers, allowing us to kill at least 99.99% of representative bacterial strains.

Abstract
This research suggests a green method for synthesizing hybrid magnetic nanocomposites that can be used as a reductant and a stabilizing agent for immobilizing metal nanoparticles (NPs). The central idea is the modification of magnetic NPs using Rubia tinctorum extract, which consists of numerous carbonyl and phenolic hydroxyl functional groups to increase adsorption of metals and chelate silver ions, and decrease the adsorption of silver ions by Ag NPs, in situ. Thus, the suggested catalyst preparation process does not require toxic reagents, additional reductants, and intricate instruments. To show the effectiveness of the plant extract in reducing and immobilizing Ag NPs, the structural, morphological, and physicochemical features of the particles are studied using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, X-ray diffraction analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. One of the advantages of the suggested method is to reduce the size of the magnetic NPs from 15-20 to 2-5 nm, in the presence of the extract. Additionally, the prepared Fe3O4@R. tinctorum/Ag nanocatalyst is demonstrated to exhibit a very high activity in the catalysis of the three-component reaction of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes (A3 coupling) with good to high yields of diverse propargylamines. Moreover, the nanocatalyst can be recovered several times with no considerable leaching or loss of performance.

Abstract
Introduction The placement of dental implants is performed in a contaminated surgical field in the oral cavity, which may lead to implant failure. Bacterial adhesion and proliferation (Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis) often lead to implant infections. Although Ag nanoparticles hold great promise for a broad spectrum of antibacterial activities, their runoff from dental implants compromises their antibacterial efficacy and potentially impairs osteoblast proliferation. Thus, this aspect remains a primary challenge and should be controlled. Materials and methods In this study, PLGA(Ag-Fe3O4) was modified on the implanted tooth surface and was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The magnetic and antibacterial properties were also determined. Results Results showed that Ag successfully bonded with Fe3O4, and Ag-Fe3O4 not only exerted superparamagnetism but also exhibited antibacterial activity almost identical to silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag). The PLGA(Ag-Fe3O4) coating could significantly maintain the antibacterial activity and avoid bacterial adhesion to the implant. Compared with the blank control group, PLGA(Ag-Fe3O4) under magnetic field-coated samples had a significantly lower amount of colonized S. mutans (P<0.01). Osteoblast proliferation results showed that the coated samples did not exhibit cytotoxicity and could promote osteoblast proliferation as shown by MTT, alkaline phosphatase, and the nucleolar organizer region count. Conclusion We developed a novel Ag biologically compatible nanoparticle in this study without compromising the nano-Ag antibacterial activity, which provided continuous antibacterial action.

Abstract
A trilayer SiO2/Ag/SiO2 nanocap array was prepared on a two-dimensional template. When annealed at different temperatures, the curvature of the SiO2/Ag/SiO2 nanocap arrays increased, which led to Ag nanocap shrinkage. The stress provided by the curved SiO2 layer induced the formation of Ag nanotwins. Ag nanotwins assisted the growth of nanoparticles when the neighboring nanotwins changed the local misorientations. Nanocap shrinkage reduced the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) coupling between neighboring nanocaps; concurrently, grain growth decreased the SPR coupling between the particles in each nanocap, which led to a red shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) bands and decreased the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals.

Abstract
A plasmon induced carrier movement enhanced mechanism of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was investigated using a charge-transfer (CT) enhancement mechanism. Here, we designed a strategy to study SERS in Au@Cu2O nanoshell nanoparticles with different shell thicknesses. Among the plasmonically coupled nanostructures, Au spheres with Cu2O shells have been of special interest due to their ultrastrong electromagnetic fields and controllable carrier transfer properties, which are useful for SERS. Au@Cu2O nanoshell nanoparticles (NPs) with shell thicknesses of 48-56nm are synthesized that exhibit high SERS activity. This high activity originates from plasmonic-induced carrier transfer from Au@Cu2O to 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA). The CT transition from the valence band (VB) of Cu2O to the second excited π-π* transition of MBA, and is of b2 electronic symmetry, which was enhanced significantly. The Herzberg-Teller selection rules were employed to predict the observed enhanced b2 symmetry modes. The system constructed in this study combines the long-range electromagnetic effect of Au NPs, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the Au@Cu2O nanoshell, and the CT contribution to assist in understanding the SERS mechanism based on LSPR-induced carrier movement in metal/semiconductor nanocomposites.

Abstract
BN/Ag hybrid nanomaterials (HNMs) and their possible applications as novel active catalysts and antibacterial agents are investigated. BN/Ag nanoparticle (NP) hybrids were fabricated using two methods: (i) chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of BN NPs in the presence of Ag vapours, and (ii) ultraviolet (UV) decomposition of AgNO3 in a suspension of BN NPs. The hybrid microstructures were studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), high-angular dark field scanning TEM imaging paired with energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). They were also characterized in terms of thermal stability, Ag+ ion release, catalytic and antibacterial activities. The materials synthesized via UV decomposition of AgNO3 demonstrated a much better catalytic activity in comparison to those prepared using the CVD method. The best catalytic characteristics (100% methanol conversion at 350 °C) were achieved using the UV BN/Ag HNMs without preliminary annealing at 600 °C in an oxidizing atmosphere. Both types of the BN/Ag HNMs possess a profound antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli K-261 bacteria.

Chen C, Xia DL, Guo LY, Chen YP, Li XD, Wang YF, Zhang D, Wang YY, Zhang YX, He H, Gu HY. Extracorporeal magnetic approach to reduce the unwanted side-effects and improve antibacterial activity of Ag/Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites in rat. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2017; 106:2029-2036. [PMID: 29076251 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.33998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2017] [Revised: 08/28/2017] [Accepted: 08/30/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
While Ag nanoparticles hold great promise for broad spectrum antibacterial activity, the potential risks of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) on human health remain a challenge. In this study, Ag/Fe3 O4 composites have been successfully prepared and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and their magnetic and antibacterial properties have been assessed. In vivo results show that the antibacterial effect of 500 μg/mL Ag/Fe3 O4 nanocomposites was significantly higher than that of 1000 μg/mL AgNPs after 72 h of treatment (p < 0.01). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining showed that squamous epithelium and dermis collagen fibers formed in the Ag/Fe3 O4 group after 8 days treatment. Wound closure was significantly better for the Ag/Fe3 O4 group than for the AgNPs group. On the other hand, there was less Ag in blood, liver, and kidney in the Ag/Fe3 O4 group, as more Ag was retained in the wound. According to lactate dehydrogenase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and reactive oxygen species results, Ag/Fe3 O4 nanocomposites caused less unwanted side-effects. This work presents a new paradigm to reduce the unwanted side-effects of AgNPs and improve their antibacterial activity, providing a new avenue for wound healing. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Su C. Environmental implications and applications of engineered nanoscale magnetite and its hybrid nanocomposites: A review of recent literature. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2017; 322:48-84. [PMID: 27477792 PMCID: PMC7306924 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2016.06.060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 149] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2016] [Revised: 06/27/2016] [Accepted: 06/30/2016] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
This review focuses on environmental implications and applications of engineered magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (MNPs) as a single phase or a component of a hybrid nanocomposite that exhibits superparamagnetism and high surface area. MNPs are synthesized via co-precipitation, thermal decomposition and combustion, hydrothermal process, emulsion, microbial process, and green approaches. Aggregation/sedimentation and transport of MNPs depend on surface charge of MNPs and geochemical parameters such as pH, ionic strength, and organic matter. MNPs generally have low toxicity to humans and ecosystem. MNPs are used for constructing chemical/biosensors and for catalyzing a variety of chemical reactions. MNPs are used for air cleanup and carbon sequestration. MNP nanocomposites are designed as antimicrobial agents for water disinfection and flocculants for water treatment. Conjugated MNPs are widely used for adsorptive/separative removal of organics, dyes, oil, arsenic, phosphate, molybdate, fluoride, selenium, Cr(VI), heavy metal cations, radionuclides, and rare earth elements. MNPs can degrade organic/inorganic contaminants via chemical reduction or catalyze chemical oxidation in water, sediment, and soil. Future studies should further explore mechanisms of MNP interactions with other nanomaterials and contaminants, economic and green approaches of MNP synthesis, and field scale demonstration of MNP utilization.

Abstract
In this study, we designed shell-dependent Ag@Cu2O core–shell nanoparticles (NPs) for SERS study. Compared to Cu2O NPs, Ag@Cu2O core–shell NPs exhibited high SERS activity because of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) from Ag core.

Combination of inverted pyramidal nanovoid with silver nanoparticles to obtain further enhancement and its detection for ricin. NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS 2015; 10:92. [PMID: 25852388 PMCID: PMC4385201 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-015-0806-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2014] [Accepted: 02/06/2015] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
We have obtained the surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrate by depositing silver nanoparticles on the surface of the inverted pyramidal nanovoid in order to improve the enhance effects. Experimental results showed that the combined substrate exhibited greater enhancement than the nanovoid substrate or nanoparticles. In order to test the SERS activity of the combined substrates, Rh6G and ricin toxin were used as Raman probes. Finite element method was employed to simulate electric field and induced charge distribution of the substrates, which have been used to explore the interaction between nanoparticles and nanovoid as well as mechanism of the great enhancement.
