Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in oily sludge generated by the petroleum and petrochemical industries have emerged as a prominent concern within the realm of environmental conservation. The precise determination of PAHs holds immense significance in both petroleum geochemistry and environmental protection. In this study, a combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and solid-liquid extraction was employed for the screening of PAHs in oily sludge. Methanol was utilized as the extraction solvent for PAHs, while nanosilver-silicon coupling substrates were employed for their detection. The SERS spectrum was acquired using a portable Raman spectrometer. The nano silver-silicon coupling substrate exhibits excellent uniformity, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of Phenanthrene, Fluoranthrene, Fluorene and Naphthalene (Phe, Flt, Flu and Nap) being 2.8%, 1.08%, 1.41%, and 5.44% respectively. Moreover, the limits of detection (LODs) achieved remarkable values of 0.542 μg/g, 0.342 μg/g, 0.541 μg/g, and 5.132 μg/g. The quantitative analysis of PAHs in oily sludge was investigated using SERS technology combined with partial least squares (PLS). The optimal PLS calibration model was optimized by combining spectral preprocessing methods and using the SiPLS (Synergy interval partial least squares)-VIP (Variable Importance in Projection) hybrid variable selection strategy. The prediction performance of the D1st (First derivative)-WT (Wavelet transform)-SiPLS-VIP-PLS model was deemed satisfactory, as evidenced by high R2P values of 0.9851, 0.9917, and 0.9925 for Phe, Flt, and Flu respectively; additionally, the corresponding MREP values were found to be 0.0580, 0.0668, and 0.0669 respectively. However, for Nap analysis, the D1st-WT-PLS model proved to be a better calibration model with an R2P value of 0.9864 and an MREP (Mean relative error of prediction) value of 0.0713. In summary, SERS technology combined with PLS based on different spectral pretreatment methods and mixed variable selection strategies is a promising method for quantitative analysis of PAHs in oily sludge, which will provide new ideas and methods for the quantitative analysis of PAHs in oily sludge.

Abstract
A major limitation preventing the use of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in routine analyses is the signal variability due to the heterogeneity of metallic nanoparticles used as SERS substrates. This study aimed to robustly optimise a synthesis process of silver nanoparticles to improve the measured SERS signal repeatability and the protocol synthesis repeatability. The process is inspired by a chemical reduction method associated with microwave irradiation to guarantee better controlled and uniform heating. The innovative Quality by Design strategy was implemented to optimise the different parameters of the process. A preliminary investigation design was firstly carried out to evaluate the influence of four parameters selected by means of an Ishikawa diagram. The critical quality attributes were to maximise the intensity of the SERS response and minimise its variance. The reaction time, temperature and stirring speed are critical process parameters. These were optimised using an I-optimal design. A robust operating zone covering the optimal reaction conditions (3.36 min-130 °C-600 rpm) associated with a probability of success was modelled. Validation of this point confirmed the prediction with intra- and inter-batch variabilities of less than 15%. In conclusion, this study successfully optimised silver nanoparticles by a rapid, low cost and simple technique enhancing the quantitative perspectives of SERS.

Abstract
A highly sensitive, selective and recyclable histidine detection method based on magnetic Fe3O4@mTiO2 (M-TiO2) nanocomposites with SERRS was developed. Mesoporous M-TiO2 nanoparticles were functionalized with 4-aminothiophenol and then coupled with histidine through an azo coupling reaction in 5 min, producing the corresponding azo compound. The strong and specific SERRS response of the azo product allowed for ultrasensitive and selective detection for histidine with an M-TiO2 device loaded with Ag NPs due to the molecular resonance effect and plasmonic effect of Ag NPs under a 532 nm excitation laser. The sensitivity was further enhanced with the magnetic enrichment of M-TiO2. The limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 8.00 × 10-12 mol/L. The M-TiO2 demonstrated applicability towards histidine determination in human urine without any sample pretreatment. Additionally, the M-TiO2 device can be recycled for 3 cycles with the photodegradation of the azo product under UV irradiation due to TiO2-assisted and plasmon-enhanced photocatalysis. In summary, a multifunctional and recyclable M-TiO2 device was synthesized based on azo coupling and SERRS spectroscopy for ultra-sensitive and specific histidine sensing. In addition, the proposed system demonstrated the potential for the multiplex determination of toxic compounds in the fields of food safety, industrial production and environmental protection, which benefit from the fingerprint property and universality of SERRS.

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
Nitrobenzene is currently the most widely used explosive substance, and is known for its high toxicity and mutagenicity. It can cause severe environmental and water pollution, posing a risk to public health. Among various explosives analysis methods, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has the advantages of fast analysis speed, low detection cost, and easy operation, and has become one of the most promising analytical detection methods. Here, we present a portable and reliable sol-based SERS method for the detection of trace amounts of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in different water bodies. The Meisenheimer complex formed by nitrobenzene and hydrazine hydrate can assemble on unmodified Au nanoparticles in a sol via Au-N bonds, enabling rapid detection of TNT in seawater, lake water, and tap water using a portable Raman spectrometer. Experimental results show that this SERS method can complete the detection within a few minutes and the detection sensitivity can reach 0.01 mg L-1, which is far lower than China's national standard of no more than 0.5 mg L-1. Furthermore, this method was also successfully applied to detect trace 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) and picric acid (2,4,6-trinitrophenol) in water, demonstrating its strong applicability for on-site detection of nitrobenzene explosives.

Abstract
A new type of durian-shaped Fe3O4@Au@Ag@Au (DFAAA) multilayer core-shell composite was prepared as an efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. The optimization process and SERS enhancement mechanism of the substrate were further explained with finite-difference time-domain simulation. The dense and uniform spiny array on the DFAAA surface had abundant "hot spots", greatly improving sensitivity, uniformity and reproducibility, with a Raman enhancement factor of 3.01 × 107 and storage-life of 30 d. A "flow magnetic detection method" was proposed to realize rapid and flexible detection of pesticide residues on the surface of different foods including fish and apple. The limit of detection of malachite green and thiram on the fish and apple surfaces were 0.13 and 0.18 ng/cm2, respectively. With its high SERS performance and good magnetic, the DFAAA possessed great application prospects as a facile SERS substrate for rapid and non-destructive detection of trace pesticide residues on foods.

Abstract
Pesticides are extensively used agrochemicals across the world to control pest populations. However, irrational application of pesticides leads to contamination of various components of the environment, like air, soil, water, and vegetation, all of which build up significant levels of pesticide residues. Further, these environmental contaminants fuel objectionable human toxicity and impose a greater risk to the ecosystem. Therefore, search of methodologies having potential to detect and degrade pesticides in different environmental media is currently receiving profound global attention. Beyond the conventional approaches, Artificial Intelligence (AI) coupled with machine learning and artificial neural networks are rapidly growing branches of science that enable quick data analysis and precise detection of pesticides in various environmental components. Interestingly, nanoparticle (NP)-mediated detection and degradation of pesticides could be linked to AI algorithms to achieve superior performance. NP-based sensors stand out for their operational simplicity as well as their high sensitivity and low detection limits when compared to conventional, time-consuming spectrophotometric assays. NPs coated with fluorophores or conjugated with antibody or enzyme-anchored sensors can be used through Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectrometry, fluorescence, or chemiluminescence methodologies for selective and more precise detection of pesticides. Moreover, NPs assist in the photocatalytic breakdown of various organic and inorganic pesticides. Here, AI models are ideal means to identify, classify, characterize, and even predict the data of pesticides obtained through NP sensors. The present study aims to discuss the environmental contamination and negative impacts of pesticides on the ecosystem. The article also elaborates the AI and NP-assisted approaches for detecting and degrading a wide range of pesticide residues in various environmental and agrecultural sources including fruits and vegetables. Finally, the prevailing limitations and future goals of AI-NP-assisted techniques have also been dissected.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a cutting-edge technique for highly sensitive analysis of chemicals and molecules. Traditional SERS-active nanostructures are constructed on rigid substrates where the nanogaps providing hot-spots of Raman signals are fixed, and sample loading is unsatisfactory due to the unconformable attachment of substrates on irregular sample surfaces. A flexible SERS substrate enables conformable sample loading and, thus, highly sensitive Raman detection but still with limited detection capabilities. Stretchable SERS substrates with flexible sample loading structures and controllable hot-spot size provide a new strategy for improving the sample loading efficiency and SERS detection sensitivity. This review summarizes and discusses recent development and applications of the newly conceptual stretchable SERS substrates. A roadmap of the development of SERS substrates is reviewed, and fabrication techniques of stretchable SERS substrates are summarized, followed by an exhibition of the applications of these stretchable SERS substrates. Finally, challenges and perspectives of the stretchable SERS substrates are presented. This review provides an overview of the development of SERS substrates and sheds light on the design, fabrication, and application of stretchable SERS systems.

Abstract
Pesticides, chemical substances extensively employed in agriculture to optimize crop yields, pose potential risks to human and environmental health. Consequently, regulatory frameworks are in place to restrict pesticide residue concentrations in water intended for human consumption. These regulations are implemented to safeguard consumer safety and mitigate any adverse effects on the environment and public health. Although gas chromatography- and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS and LC-MS) are highly efficient techniques for pesticide quantification, their use is not suitable for real-time monitoring due to the need for sophisticated laboratory pretreatment of samples prior to analysis. Since they would enable analyte detection with selectivity and sensitivity without sample pretreatment, biosensors appear as a promising alternative. These consist of a bioreceptor allowing for specific recognition of the target and of a detection platform, which translates the biological interaction into a measurable signal. As early detection systems remain urgently needed to promptly alert and act in case of pollution, we review here the biosensors described in the literature for pesticide detection to advance their development for use in the field.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as a promising material in disease diagnostics due to their potential to enhance detection sensitivity, facilitate concentration and purification of target substances in diverse samples, and enable favorable color-based detection. In this study, antibody-conjugated MNPs were successfully synthesized and validated through two appropriate methods: the measurement of MNPs' size and the use of phosphatase methods. Additionally, three methods were suggested and implemented for developing color in MNPs-based immunoassay, including the formation of MNP aggregations, utilization of MNPs' peroxidase-like activity, and synthesis of dually-conjugated MNPs with both enzyme and antibody. In particular, color development utilizing nanoparticle aggregations was demonstrated to result in a more yellowish color as virus concentration increased, while the peroxidase activity of MNPs exhibited a proportional increase in color intensity as the MNP concentration increased. This observation suggests the potential applicability of quantitative analysis using these methods. Furthermore, effective concentration and purification of target substances were demonstrated through the collection of MNPs using an external magnetic field, irrespective of factors such as antibody conjugation, dispersion medium, or virus binding. Finally, based on the key findings of this study, a design proposal for MNPs-based immunoassay is presented. Overall, MNPs-based immunoassays hold significant potential for advancing disease diagnostics.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 297:122701. [PMID: 37054569 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
Owing to the excellent optoelectronic properties of metal nanoparticle-semiconductor interfaces; hybrid substrates with superior catalytic and sensing properties can be designed. In the present study, we have attempted to evaluate anisotropic silver nanoprisms (SNP) functionalized titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles for multifunctional applications such as SERS sensing and photocatalytic decomposition of hazardous organic pollutants. Hierarchical TiO2/SNP hybrid arrays have been fabricated via facile and low-cost casting techniques. The structural, compositional, and optical characteristics of TiO2/SNP hybrid arrays were well elucidated and correlated to SERS activities. SERS studies revealed that TiO2/SNP nanoarrays possess almost 288 times enhancement compared to bare TiO2 substrates and 2.6 times enhancement than pristine SNP. The fabricated nanoarrays demonstrated detection limits down to 10-12 M concentration levels and lower spot-to-spot variability of ∼ 11%. The photocatalytic studies showed that almost 94 and 86% of rhodamine B and methylene blue were decomposed within 90 min of visible light exposure. Besides, two times enhancement in photocatalytic activities of TiO2/SNP hybrid substrates was also observed than bare TiO2. The highest photocatalytic activity was exhibited by SNP to TiO2 molar ratio of 1.5 × 10-3. The electrochemical surface area and the interfacial electron-transfer resistance were increased with the increment in TiO2/SNP composite load from 3 to 7 wt%. Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) analysis revealed a higher RhB degradation potential of TiO2/SNP arrays than SNP or TiO2. The synthesized hybrids exhibited excellent reusability without any significant deterioration in photocatalytic properties over five successive cycles. TiO2/SNP hybrid arrays were proved to be multiple platforms for sensing and degrading hazardous pollutants for environmental applications.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is a facile strategy to remove environmental heavy metals by using metal-accumulating plants from the rhizosphere environment. However, its efficiency is frequently compromised by the weak activity of rhizosphere microbiomes. This study developed a magnetic nanoparticle-assisted root colonization technique of synthetic functional bacteria to regulate rhizosphere microbiome composition for enhanced phytoremediation of heavy metals. The iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles with the size of 15-20 nm were synthesized and grafted by chitosan, a natural bacterium-binding polymer. The synthetic Escherichia coli SynEc2, which highly exposed an artificial heavy metal-capturing protein, was then introduced with the magnetic nanoparticles to bind the Eichhornia crassipes plants. Confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and microbiome analysis revealed that the grafted magnetic nanoparticles strongly promoted colonization of the synthetic bacteria on the plant roots, leading to remarkable change of rhizosphere microbiome composition, with the increase in the abundance of Enterobacteriaceae, Moraxellaceae, and Sphingomonadaceae. Histological staining and biochemical analysis further showed that the combination of SynEc2 and the magnetic nanoparticles protected the plants from heavy metal-induced tissue damage, and increased plant weights from 29 g to 40 g. Consequently, the plants with the assistance of synthetic bacteria and the magnetic nanoparticles in combination exhibited much higher heavy metal-removing capacity than the plants treated by the synthetic bacteria or the magnetic nanoparticles alone, leading to the decrease in the heavy metal levels from 3 mg/L to 0.128 mg/L for cadmium, and to 0.032 mg/L for lead. This study provided a novel strategy to remodel rhizosphere microbiome of metal-accumulating plants by integrating synthetic microbes and nanomaterials for improving the efficiency of phytoremediation.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a rapid and non-destructive spectral detection technique, and has been widely implemented on trace-level molecule detection. In this work, a hybrid SERS substrate constructed by porous carbon film and silver nanoparticles (PCs/Ag NPs) was developed and then used for imatinib (IMT) detection in bio-environment. The PCs/Ag NPs was prepared by direct carbonizing the gelatin-AgNO3 film in the air atmosphere, and an enhancement factor (EF) of 106 was achieved with R6G as the Raman reporter. Hereafter, this SERS substrate was used as the label-free sensing platform to detect the IMT in the serum, and the experimental results indicate that the substrate is conducive to eliminating the interference from the complex biological molecules in the serum, and the characteristic Raman peaks belonging to IMT (10-4 M) are accurately resolved. Furthermore, the SERS substrate was used to trace the IMT in the whole blood, the trace of ultra-low concertation of IMT is rapidly discovered without any pretreatment. Thus, this work finally suggests that the proposed sensing platform provides a rapid and reliable method for IMT detection in the bio-environment and offers a potential for its application in therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a spectral detection technology with high sensitivity and detectivity and can be used to detect the fingerprint information of the molecules with ultralow concentration. Herein, a kind of immunostructure constructed by Ag nanoparticle/porous carbon (Ag NP/PorC) films as the immunosubstrate and Ag NCs as the immunoprobes was presented for ultralow level prostate-specific antigen (PSA) detection. Experimentally, the Ag NP/PorC film was first prepared with a facile method by carbonizing the gelatin-AgNO3 film in air, and Ag NCs were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Then, the Ag NP/PorC film was modified by PSA antibodies as the substrate, while Ag NCs were decorated by R6G and PSA antibodies for probes. The sandwiched SERS detection embodiment was constructed by the immunoreaction between the PSA and PSA antibody predecorated on the substrate and probes. Our results show that the proposed SERS-type immunoassay is highly sensitive and selective to a wide range of PSA concentrations from 10-5 to 10-12 g/mL. Thereafter, it was also implemented to detect the PSA level in human serum, and the results successfully reproduce the PSA levels as those measured by the chemiluminescence method with a recovery rate above 90%. All in all, this SERS-type immunoassay provides a promising method for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Abstract
To improve the curability of cancer patients, it is essential to propose an early diagnosis technology with ultra-high sensitivity and reliable biocompatibility. Herein, a sophisticated nonmetallic SERS-based immunosensor, comprised by a MoS2 @Fe3O4 nanoflower-based immunoprobe with magnetism and a black phosphorus (BP) nanosheet-based immunosubstrate, was proposed for the specific in-situ monitoring of ferritin (FER). The sandwich immunosensor was endowed with an excellent SERS performance mainly ascribed to a synergistic chemical enhancement as well as an additional electrostatic adsorption effect, achieving a limit of detection down to 7.3 × 10-5 μg/mL. Particularly, all the Raman label, target FER, and anti-FER could be completely degraded within 70 min under visible light irradiation owing to the favorable photocatalytic activities of MoS2 and BP which could be then effectively separated and collected with the assistance of an external magnet. Such a recyclable nonmetallic immunosensor holds great potential and practicality in the clinical screening of cancer.

Abstract
This work reports a sensitive SERS substrate based on graphene oxide (GO) and quantum-sized ZrO2 nanoparticles (GO/ZrO2) for label-free determination of the organophosphate pesticide methyl parathion (MP). The enhanced light-matter interactions and the consequent SERS effect in these substrates resulted from the effective charge transfer (CT) mechanism attributed to synergistic contributions of three main factors: i) the strong molecular adherence of the MP molecules and the ZrO2 surface which allows the first layer-effect, ii) the relatively abundant surface defects in low dimensional ZrO2 semiconductor NPs, which act as intermediate electronic states that reduce the large bandgap barrier, and iii) the hindered charge recombination derived from the transference of the photoinduced holes to the GO layer. This mechanism allowed an enhancement factor of 8.78 × 104 for GO/ZrO2-based substrates, which is more than 5-fold higher than the enhancement observed for platforms without GO. A detection limit of 0.12 μM was achieved with an outstanding repeatability (variation ≤4.5%) and a linear range up to 10 μM, which is sensitive enough to determine the maximal MP concentration permissible in drinking water according to international regulations. Furthermore, recovery rates between 97.4 and 102.1% were determined in irrigation water runoffs, strawberry and black tea extracts, demonstrating the reliability of the hybrid GO/ZrO2 substrate for the organophosphate pesticides quantification in samples related to agri-food sectors and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Solar-to-steam (STS) generation based on plasmonic materials has attracted significant attention as a green method for producing fresh water. Herein, a simple in situ method is introduced to fabricate Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on cellulose filter papers as dual-functional substrates for STS generation and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing. The substrates exhibit 90% of broadband solar absorption between 350 and 1800 nm and achieve an evaporation rate of 0.96 kg·m-2·h-1 under 1-sun illumination, room temperature of 20 °C, and relative humidity of 40%. The STS generation of the substrate is stable during 30 h continuous operation. Enriched SERS hotspots between AuNPs endow the substrates with the ability to detect chemical contamination in water with ppb limits of detection for rhodamine 6G dye and melamine. To demonstrate dual-functional properties, the contaminated water was analyzed with SERS and purified by STS. The purified water was then analyzed with SERS to confirm its purity. The developed substrate can be an improved and suitable candidate for fresh water production and qualification.

Abstract
By coupling thin-film microextraction (TFME) with surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), a facile method was developed for the determination of thiram in the complex matrix (orange juice or grape peel). The substrate of TFME was made by self-assembling silver sol on the silicon wafer to form a three-dimensional (3D) silver nanonetwork structure, without adding any template, which was used for TFME and SERS detection, respectively. The substrate exhibits high reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of about 7.32 % in spot and spot SERS intensity. The SERS signal intensity at a shift of 1384 cm-1 and the thiram concentration showed good linearity in the range of 0.01-5 µg/L and the linear correlation coefficient was 0.9912. The detection limit for thiram was found to be 0.01 µg/L. The TFME-SERS method was applied for the determination of thiram in fruit juice and the results were obtained very well. Therefore, this method is expected to play a role in the detection of trace pollutants.

Abstract
Fe and Pd thin film samples have been fabricated in a rapid fashion utilizing the versatile technique of dynamic hydrogen bubble template (DHBT) method via potentiostatic electrodeposition over a copper substrate. The morphology of the samples is dendritic, with the composition being directly proportional to the deposition time. All the samples have been tested as SERS substrates for the detection of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye. The samples perform very well, with the best performance shown by the Pd samples. The lowest detectable R6G concentration was found to be 10-6 M (479 μgL-1) by one of the Pd samples with the deposition time of 180 s. The highest enhancement of signals noticed in this sample can be attributed to its morphology, which is more nanostructured compared to other samples, which is extremely conducive to the phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Overall, these samples are cheaper, easy to prepare with a rapid fabrication method, and show appreciable SERS performance.

Abstract
In this work, we report the synthesis of magneto-plasmonic dendrimer-based nanosorbents containing Au nanostars and we demonstrate that they can be used as versatile optical sensors for the detection of pesticides in spiked water samples. The magnetic hybrid nanoparticles were obtained by conjugating silica-functionalized G5-NH2 PAMAM dendrimers to silica-coated magnetite cores. The resulting magnetic-PAMAM conjugates were then used to reduce and sequester Au seeds for the subsequent in situ growth of Au nanostars. The dendrimer-based magneto-plasmonic substrates containing the Au anisotropic nanophases were then investigated regarding their ability to monitor water quality through surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. As a proof-of-concept, the ensuing multifunctional materials were investigated as SERS probing systems to detect dithiocarbamate pesticides (ziram and thiram) dissolved in water samples. It was observed that the magneto-plasmonic hybrid materials enhance the Raman signal of these pesticides under variable operational conditions, suggesting the versatility of these systems for water quality monitoring. Moreover, a detailed analysis of the SERS data was accomplished to predict the adsorption profile of the dithiocarbamate pesticides to the Au surface.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable detection and quantification of pesticide residues in complex matrices by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) remain challenging due to the low level of target molecules and the interference of nontarget components. In this study, SERS was combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) to develop a rapid and reliable method for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). In this method, DLLME was used to extract and enrich two representative OPPs (triazophos and parathion-methyl) from a liquid sample, and a portable Raman spectrometer was used to analyze the separated sediment using homemade gold nanoparticles colloids as enhancing substrates. The results showed that the developed method displayed good sensitivity and stability for the detection and quantification of triazophos and parathion-methyl with R2 ≥ 0.98. The calculated limits of detection (LODs) in the simultaneous detection of triazophos and parathion-methyl were 2.17 × 10-9 M (0.679 ppb) and 2.28 × 10-8 M (5.998 ppb), and the calculated limits of quantification (LOQs) were 7.23 × 10-9 M (2.26 ppb) and 7.62 × 10-8 M (19.098 ppb), respectively. Furthermore, the developed SERS method was successfully applied to the detection of triazophos and parathion-methyl in apple juice with recoveries between 78.07% and 110.87% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) ≤ 2.06%. Therefore, the developed DLLME facilitated liquid SERS method exhibited good sensitivity and stability for the rapid detection and quantification of OPPs and had the potential to be applied to the rapid detection of OPPs in complex matrices.

Abstract
The identification of high-energy compounds in trace concentrations not only in the laboratory, but also in field conditions is of particular interest. The process should be clear, easy, and well-recognizable. We formed SERS-active substrates by using elongated nickel nanotubes synthesized by electrochemical deposition in the pores of ion-track membranes and coated them with gold for further application in the detection of low concentrations of analytes. The substrates were characterized using various techniques to determine the morphology of the nanotubes and modifying gold layer. The possibility of obtaining two types of gold-layer morphology was shown: in the form of a smooth film up to 20–50 nm thick and a coating with nanoneedles up to 250 nm long. The electric fields around the nanotubes were simulated at a laser wavelength of 532 nm to demonstrate the influence of the gold-layer morphology on the field distribution. The “needle” morphology was chosen to form the most effective SERS-active substrates for detection of low concentrations of aromatic polynitro compounds. The spectral peaks were identified by comparing the model and experimental Raman spectra at concentrations down to 10−5 M. Within this limit, all peaks (“fingerprints” of the substance) were clearly distinguishable.

Abstract
In recent years, the application of low-refractive-index materials in the optical field has attracted considerable attention due to it high transmittance and high optical sensitivity. In this study, we synthesized SiO2 porous hollow spheres (SPHS) with an ultralow refractive index (n = 1.05) by using a templating method. Their refractive indices could be easily controlled from 1.05 to 1.08 by tuning the thickness of shell. In addition, a droplet coatings method is proposed for SPHS colloidal crystal (CC) by controlling the temperature and humidity. The SPHS CCs displayed distinct structural colors when the incident angle was adjusted and demonstrated high angular resolution. Moreover, the iridescent color changes could be observed with the naked eye. For surface-enhanced Raman scattering application, more analyte could be absorbed by the porous shells, and metal nanoparticles were coated on the SPHSs surface to increase the hot spot density for improving the SERS intensity.

Abstract
In the present work, we report the fabrication of a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate on a simple and easily fabricable hydrophobic surface. The substrates are prepared by slow and fast evaporation of a droplet of silver nanoparticle suspension in water. The corresponding identifiers for two substrates are “s_evp” and “f_evp” respectively. It is found that the dried spot size is small on s_evp compared to that on f_evp. This also minimizes the coffee stain effect and enriches the spot in a better way on s_evp compared to f_evp. Consequently, using SERS experimentation on our lab-built setup, concentration as low as 2.5*10−12 M of rhodamine 6G molecules was detected on s_evp compared to 2.5 × 10−10 M on f_evp. The proposed s_evp SERS substrate is much easier to fabricate and easy to use compared to super-hydrophobic SERS substrates. In the present work, we report the fabrication of a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate on a simple and easily fabricable hydrophobic surface.![]()

Abstract
Molecular adsorption to the nanoparticle surface may switch the colloidal interactions from repulsive to attractive and promote nanoparticle agglomeration. If the nanoparticles are magnetic, then their agglomerates exhibit a much stronger response to external magnetic fields than individual nanoparticles. Coupling between adsorption, agglomeration, and magnetism allows a synergy between the high specific area of nanoparticles (∼100 m2/g) and their easy guidance or separation by magnetic fields. This yet poorly explored concept is believed to overcome severe restrictions for several biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles related to their poor magnetic remote control. In this paper, we test this concept using curcumin (CUR) binding (adsorption) to β-cyclodextrin (βCD)-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP). CUR adsorption is governed by host-guest hydrophobic interactions with βCD through the formation of 1:1 and, possibly, 2:1 βCD:CUR inclusion complexes on the IONP surface. A 2:1 stoichiometry is supposed to promote IONP primary agglomeration, facilitating the formation of the secondary needle-like agglomerates under external magnetic fields and their magneto-microfluidic separation. The efficiency of these field-induced processes increases with CUR concentration and βCD surface density, while their relatively short timescale (<5 min) is compatible with magnetic drug delivery application.

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
Hierarchically structured films comprise a growing section of the field of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Here, we report a novel, powerfully enhancing hierarchical plasmonic substrate featuring patterned multilayers of magnetic iron oxide nanospheres using an external magnetic field to create sets of radial ridges. This new substrate allows for effective analyte adsorption and significant Raman signal enhancement, thanks to the contribution of both the magnetic and plasmonic components to the electromagnetic hotspots. We demonstrate significant and reliable Raman enhancement for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dilute but persistent environmental pollutants, in a complex and real-world matrix of produced water (PW). The substrate activity for PAHs is validated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. An impressive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of several dB enables detection of the analyte below 1 ppm. This multilayer magnetic film sensor substrate shows remarkable stability and robustness suitable for real-world applications while boasting simple methods and strong potential to scale up fabrication.

Abstract
During the decomposition of trashes, leachate is created and leaching is gradually pollutes the surface and groundwater. Thus, the most severe ecological impact is the risk of ground water pollution because of collection of leachate from unlined insecure landfills. Due to the low biodegradable organic strength, irregular productivity and composition, the environmentally neglected landfill leachate treatment is challenging. This work was conducted on a synthetically effective bimetallic surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) nanosensor by gold/silver-bimetallic nanoparticles (Au/Ag-NPs), and used for the specific detection of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill leachate in groundwater. The optical study of Au/Ag-NPs led to reflections from Ag cores and small Au shells. The structural studies represent the FCC structure of Au/Ag-NPs. The core-shell nanocrevice NPs with particle size of 23 nm played an important role with plasmonic behaviour enhances the electromagnetic excitation to achieve SERS detection and plasmonic photocatalysis. Thus, obtained results clearly show that Au was successfully added to Ag-NPs, and its existence can also be confirmed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDAX). The prepared SERS based sensors have the potential to detect aromatic hydrocarbon, pesticides and heavy metals from environmentally ignored MSW landfill leachate. In general, the application of this new synergetic strategy of the photocatalytic degradation of leachate was irradiated by visible wavelength with the rate constant of 0.0036/min, 0.0047/min and 0.005/min by Ag-NPs, Au-NPs and Au/Ag-NPs respectively. Overall, this is the only study achieved efficiently with photocatalytic degradation and SERS detection of environmentally ignored real sample (leachate) to make pollutant free homeland aquifers.

Abstract
Recent developments in nanoscience have appreciably modified how diseases are prevented, diagnosed, and treated. Metal nanoparticles, specifically silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), are widely used in bioscience. From time to time, various synthetic methods for the synthesis of AgNPs are reported, i.e., physical, chemical, and photochemical ones. However, among these, most are expensive and not eco-friendly. The physicochemical parameters such as temperature, use of a dispersing agent, surfactant, and others greatly influence the quality and quantity of the synthesized NPs and ultimately affect the material’s properties. Scientists worldwide are trying to synthesize NPs and are devising methods that are easy to apply, eco-friendly, and economical. Among such strategies is the biogenic method, where plants are used as the source of reducing and capping agents. In this review, we intend to debate different strategies of AgNP synthesis. Although, different preparation strategies are in use to synthesize AgNPs such as electron irradiation, optical device ablation, chemical reduction, organic procedures, and photochemical methods. However, biogenic processes are preferably used, as they are environment-friendly and economical. The review covers a comprehensive discussion on the biological activities of AgNPs, such as antimicrobial, anticancer anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenic potentials of AgNPs. The use of AgNPs in water treatment and disinfection has also been discussed in detail.

Abstract
Nanocomposites combining magnetic and plasmonic properties are very attractive within the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. Applications presented so far take advantage of not only the cooperation of both components but also synergy (enhanced properties), leading to multi-approach analysis. While many methods were proposed to synthesize such plasmonic-magnetic nanoparticles, the issue of their collective magnetic behavior, inducing irreversible self-aggregation, has not been addressed yet. Thus, here we present a simple and fast method to overcome this problem, employing 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (MES) ions as both a SERS tag and primer molecules in the silica-coating process of the previously fabricated Fe3O4/Ag nanocomposite. The use of MES favored the formation of silica-coated nanomaterial comprised of well-dispersed small clusters of Fe3O4/Ag nanoparticles. Furthermore, adsorbed MES molecules provided a reliable SERS response, which was successfully detected after magnetic assembly of the Fe3O4/Ag@MES@SiO2 on the surface of the banknote. Improved chemical stability after coating with a silica layer was also found when the nanocomposite was exposed to suspension of yeast cells. This work reports on the application of 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate not only providing a photostable SERS signal due to a non-aromatic Raman reporter but also acting as a silica-coating primer and a factor responsible for a substantial reduction of the self-aggregation of the plasmonic-magnetic nanocomposite. Additionally, here obtained Fe3O4/Ag@MES@SiO2 SERS nanotags showed the potential as security labels for the authentication purposes, retaining its original SERS performance after deposition on the banknote.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising technique for rapid detection of pesticide residues. However, conventional SERS substrates require extraction processes which are time consuming and they also lack selectivity, stability and reproducibility. Herein, we present a multifunctional stable zero-valent iron based core-shell substrate. It combines magnetic separation, selective adsorption by molecular imprinting technique and sensitive detection of carbaryl by SERS. The core-shell substrate was successfully prepared by immobilizing silver on the surface of zero-valent iron microspheres. Subsequent molecular imprinting on the bimetallic magnetic silver microspheres ensured selective removal and detection. The substrate exhibited magnetization saturation of 8.89 emu/g providing efficient analyte separation. It showed high sensitivity and selectivity toward carbaryl detection to nanomolar concentration level. Linear regression models for peaks at Raman shift 1599 cm-1 and 2233 cm-1 demonstrated a good linear fit with R2=0.9738 and R2=0.8952 respectively. The composite was successfully applied on spiked water samples resulting in average recovery rate of 89%. The findings of this study demonstrate great substrate potential for application in separation and detection of trace quantities of chemical contaminants for environment safety and protection.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles (NPs), as an efficient substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), attract much interests because of their various shapes and sizes. The appropriate size and morphology of metallic NPs are critical to serve as the substrate for achieving an efficient SERS. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is one of the feasible physical methods employed to synthesize metallic NPs with controllable sizes and surface characteristics. It has been recognized to be a successful tool for the deposition of SERS substrates due to its good controllability and high reproducibility in the manufacture of metallic NPs. This review provides an overview about the recent advances for the preparation of SERS substrates by PLD technique. The influences of parameters on the sizes and morphologies of metallic NPs during the deposition processes in PLD technique including laser output parameters, gas medium, liquid medium, substrate temperature, and properties of 3D substrate are presented. The applications of SERS substrates produced by PLD in the environmental monitoring and biomedical analysis are summarized. This knowledge could serve as a guideline for the researchers in exploring further applications of PLD technique in the production of SERS substrate.

Abstract
There is a critical need for a rapid and simple method of qualitative and quantitative analysis of testosterone propionate (TP) and nandrolone (NT) residues in duck meat. In this study, we applied surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) coupled multivariate analysis for the classification and detection of TP and NT residues in duck meat. A total of 294 duck meat extract samples were obtained from duck breast meats based on a LC-MS/MS sample preparation method with slight modification including 102 duck meat extract samples without TP and NT, 43 duck meat samples containing TP, 47 duck meat extract samples containing NT, and 102 duck meat extract samples containing TP and NT. Raw Raman spectra were pretreated by using adaptive iteratively reweighted penalized least squares (airPLS), normalization and first derivative, and then the score values of first 10 principal components were selected as the inputs of the developed models. A particle swarm optimization–support vector classification (PSO-SVC) model was created to classify all the duck meat samples into the 4 groups (i.e., control group, TP group, NT group, and TP combined with NT group) with the classification accuracies of 99.49 and 100% for training set and test set, respectively. Furthermore, 2 least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR) models were developed to predict the TP values in samples with a determination coefficient (R2) value of 0.9316, root mean square error (RMSE) value of 2.1739, and ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) value of 3.2189 for the test set, and NT values in samples with an R2 value of 0.9038, RMSE value of 2.2914, and RPD value of 2.9701 for the test set. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy technology, in combination with multivariate analysis, has the potential to become the qualitative and quantitative analysis tool for TP and NT residues in duck meat extract.

Abstract
A novel biosensing system based on graphene-mediated surface-enhanced Raman scattering (G-SERS) using plasmonic/magnetic molybdenum trioxide nanocubes (mag-MoO3 NCs) has been designed to detect norovirus (NoV) via a dual SERS nanotag/substrate platform. A novel magnetic derivative of MoO3 NCs served as the SERS nanotag and the immunomagnetic separation material of the biosensor. Single-layer graphene oxide (SLGO) was adopted as the 2D SERS substrate/capture platform and acted as the signal reporter, with the ability to accommodate an additional Raman molecule as a coreporter. The developed SERS-based immunoassay achieved a signal amplification of up to ∼109-fold resulting from the combined electromagnetic and chemical mechanisms of the dual SERS nanotag/substrate system. The developed biosensor was employed for the detection of NoV in human fecal samples collected from infected patients by capturing the virus with the aid of NoV-specific antibody-functionalized magnetic MoO3 NCs. This approach enabled rapid signal amplification for NoV detection with this biosensing technology. The biosensor was tested and optimized using NoV-like particles within a broad linear range from 10 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of ∼5.2 fg/mL. The practical applicability of the developed biosensor to detect clinical NoV subtypes in human fecal samples was demonstrated by effective detection with an LOD of ∼60 RNA copies/mL, which is ∼103-fold lower than that of a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for NoV.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major global health issue. In particular, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires urgent attention and early diagnosis. The use of point-of-care diagnostics has resulted in the improved management of cardiovascular disease, but a major drawback is that the performance of POC devices does not rival that of central laboratory tests. Recently, many studies and advances have been made in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), including the development of POC biosensors that utilize this detection method. Here, we present a review of the strengths and limitations of these emerging SERS-based biosensors for AMI diagnosis. The ability of SERS to multiplex sensing against existing POC detection methods are compared and discussed. Furthermore, SERS calibration-free methods that have recently been explored to minimize the inconvenience and eliminate the limitations caused by the limited linear range and interassay differences found in the calibration curves are outlined. In addition, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in SERS techniques to promote multivariate analysis and enhance diagnostic accuracy are discussed. The future prospects for SERS-based POC devices that include wearable POC SERS devices toward predictive, personalized medicine following the Fourth Industrial Revolution are proposed.

Abstract
Magnetite superparamagnetic nanoparticles (MNP) are becoming one of the firsts nanocommodity products. MNP find a number of applications and they are been produced at relatively large scale. The co-precipitation method presents many technical and economical advantages among alternative processes. However, the relationships between physical and chemical reaction conditions during the co-precipitation process and the resulting properties of obtained MNP are not yet fully understood. The novelty of this contribution is the establishment of the cross-dependency effects of the main physical and chemical parameters of the co-precipitation reaction on the properties of resulting MNP. The conditions were varied by following an experimental design. The crystallite size, particle size and magnetization of the MNP and the Z-potential and size of their aggregates were selected as main response properties. A set of equations in the form of 4D surface responses in the space of co-precipitation process variables was obtained and analyzed in terms of the resulting properties. The set of equations is useful to predict, optimize and tailor very precisely the properties of resulting MNP as a function of reaction conditions.

Abstract
This review (with 145 refs.) summarizes the progress that has been made in the use of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks in chemical sensing and biosensing. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a type of porous material with zeolite topological structure that combine the advantages of zeolite and traditional metal-organic frameworks. Owing to the structural flexibility of ZIFs, their pore sizes and surface functionalization can be reasonably designed. Following an introduction into the field of metal-organic frameworks and the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) subclass, a first large section covers the various kinds and properties of ZIFs. The next large section covers electrochemical sensors and assays (with subsections on methods for gases, electrochemiluminescence, electrochemical biomolecules). This is followed by main sections on ZIF-based colorimetric and luminescent sensors, with subsections on sensors for metal ions and anions, for gases, and for organic biomolecules. The last section covers SERS-based assays. Several tables are presented that give an overview on the wealth of methods and materials. A concluding section summarizes the current status, addresses current challenges, and gives an outlook on potential future trends. Graphical abstract In recent years, ZIFs and their composites have been widely used as probes in chemical sensing, and these probes have shown great advantages over other materials. This review describes the current progress on ZIFs toward electrochemical, luminescence, colorimetric, and SERS-based sensing applications, highlighting the different strategies for designing ZIFs and their composites and potential challenges in this field.
