Abstract
Core-shell nanostructures are a typical material design. Usually, it consists of a core wrapped in a shell. It has attracted much attention due to its tunable structure and composition, high surface area, and high programmability. The properties and resonance frequency of their surface plasmons can be adjusted by regulating the shape, size, and composition of metal core-shell nanostructures. This interaction makes core-shell nanostructures an excellent platform for plasmon-enhanced optical effects. This Perspective explores the categories of core-shell nanostructures, their exchanges with excitons in two-dimensional materials, their spectrum-enhanced aspects, and prospects for future applications of core-shell nanostructures.

Abstract
The Stöber method for forming spherical silica colloids is well-established as one of the pillars of colloidal synthesis. In a modified form, it has been extensively used to deposit both porous and protective shells over metal nanomaterials. Current best-practice techniques require that the vitreophobic surface of metal nanoparticles be primed with a surface ligand to promote silica deposition. Although such techniques have proved highly successful in forming core-shell configurations, the site-selective deposition of silica onto preselected areas of faceted metal nanostructures has proved far more challenging. Herein, a primer-free TEOS-based synthesis is demonstrated that is capable of forming architecturally complex nanoframes and nanocages on the pristine surfaces of faceted gold nanostructures. The devised synthesis overcomes vitreophobicity using elevated TEOS concentrations that trigger silica nucleation along the low-coordination sites where gold facets meet. Continued deposition sees the emergence of a well-connected frame followed by the lateral infilling of the openings formed over gold facets. With growth readily terminated at any point in this sequence, the synthesis distinguishes itself in being able to achieve patterned and tunable silica depositions expressing interfaces that are uncorrupted by primers. The so-formed structures are demonstrated as template materials capable of asserting high-level control over synthesis and assembly processes by using the deposited silica as a mask that deactivates selected areas against these processes while allowing them to proceed elsewhere. The work, hence, extends the capabilities and versatility of TEOS-based syntheses and provides pathways for forming multicomponent nanostructures and nanoassemblies with structurally engineered properties.

Abstract
Implementation of cost-effective, reliable, and efficient technologies for the sensitive, rapid, and accurate detection of pesticide residues in agriproducts presents a promising solution to the escalating food safety concerns. Herein, a high-performance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor based on nanotag (AuNS@4-MBN@Ag-aptamer) was introduced for ultrasensitive, reliable, and interference-free detection of chlorpyrifos (CPF). This aptasensor featured star-shaped bimetallic nanotag as the principal Raman signal enhancement material and 4-mercaptobenzonitrile (4-MBN) as "biological-silent"-window reporter (at 2228 cm-1). Moreover, cDNA-linked Fe3O4@AuNPs (FA-cDNA) served as magnetic substrates to simplify the separation process of FA-cDNA-combined nanotags. In the aptasensor, the formation of FA-cDNA-aptamer-AuNS@4-MBN@Ag hybrids was hindered by CPF, and its Raman intensity decreased with increasing CPF concentration. Under optimal SERS conditions, the aptasensor exhibited a broad linear detection range from 2.5 × 102 to 5.0 × 104 pg⋅mL-1, with an impressively low limit of detection of 220.35 pg⋅mL-1 (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The selectivity and reproducibility assessments highlighted its exceptional sensitivity and interference-free capabilities. Furthermore, practical applications on wheat and apples demonstrated satisfactory spiked recovery rates, ranging from 89.61% to 107.33% (relative standard deviation ≤ 14.55%). Consequently, the high-performance "biological-silent"-window nanotag-based aptasensor is a promising tool for monitoring trace CPF in complex matrices.

Effects of Raman Labeling Compounds on the Stability and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Performance of Ag Nanoparticle-Embedded Silica Nanoparticles as Tagging Materials. BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:272. [PMID: 38920576 PMCID: PMC11201858 DOI: 10.3390/bios14060272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024]
Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) tagging using silica(SiO2)@Ag nanoparticles (NPs) is easy to handle and is being studied in various fields, including SERS imaging and immunoassays. This is primarily due to its structural advantages, characterized by high SERS activity. However, the Ag NPs introduced onto the SiO2 surface may undergo structural transformation owing to the Ostwald ripening phenomenon under various conditions. As a result, the consistency of the SERS signal decreases, reducing their usability as SERS substrates. Until recently, research has been actively conducted to improve the stability of single Ag NPs. However, research on SiO2@Ag NPs used as a SERS-tagging material is still lacking. In this study, we utilized a Raman labeling compound (RLC) to prevent the structural deformation of SiO2@Ag NPs under various conditions and proposed excellent SiO2@Ag@RLC-Pre NPs as a SERS-tagging material. Using various RLCs, we confirmed that 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) is the RLC that maintains the highest stability for 2 months. These results were also observed for the SiO2@Ag NPs, which were unstable under various pH and temperature conditions. We believe that SERS tags using SiO2@Ag NPs and 4-MBA can be utilized in various applications on based SERS because of the high stability and consistency of the resulting SERS signal.

Abstract
A core-shell nanostructure of gold nanoparticles@covalent organic framework (COF) loaded with palladium nanoparticles (AuNPs@COF-PdNPs) was designed for the rapid monitoring of catalytic reactions with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The nanostructure was prepared by coating the COF layer on AuNPs and then in situ synthesizing PdNPs within the COF shell. With the respective SERS activity and catalytic performance of the AuNP core and COF-PdNPs shell, the nanostructure can be directly used in the SERS study of the catalytic reaction processes. It was shown that the confinement effect of COF resulted in the high dispersity of PdNPs and outstanding catalytic activity of AuNPs@COF-PdNPs, thus improving the reaction rate constant of the AuNPs@COF-PdNPs-catalyzed hydrogenation reduction by 10 times higher than that obtained with Au/Pd NPs. In addition, the COF layer can serve as a protective shell to make AuNPs@COF-PdNPs possess excellent reusability. Moreover, the loading of PdNPs within the COF layer was found to be in favor of avoiding intermediate products to achieve a high total conversion rate. AuNPs@COF-PdNPs also showed great catalytic activities toward the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. Taken together, the proposed core-shell nanostructure has great potential in monitoring and exploring catalytic processes and interfacial reactions.

Abstract
Chemically synthesized metal nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely used as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates for monitoring catalytic reactions. In some applications, however, the SERS MNPs, besides being plasmonically active, can also be catalytically active and result in Raman signals from undesired side products. The MNPs are typically insulated with a thin (∼3 nm), in principle pin-hole-free shell to prevent this. This approach, which is known as shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), offers many advantages, such as better thermal and chemical stability of the plasmonic nanoparticle. However, having both a high enhancement factor and ensuring that the shell is pin-hole-free is challenging because there is a trade-off between the two when considering the shell thickness. So far in the literature, shell insulation has been successfully applied only to chemically synthesized MNPs. In this work, we alternatively study different combinations of chemical synthesis (bottom-up) and lithographic (top-down) routes to obtain shell-isolated plasmonic nanostructures that offer chemical sensing capabilities. The three approaches we study in this work include (1) chemically synthesized MNPs + chemical shell, (2) lithographic substrate + chemical shell, and (3) lithographic substrate + atomic layer deposition (ALD) shell. We find that ALD allows us to fabricate controllable and reproducible pin-hole-free shells. We showcase the ability to fabricate lithographic SHINER substrates which report an enhancement factor of 7.5 × 103 ± 17% for our gold nanodot substrates coated with a 2.8 nm aluminium oxide shell. Lastly, by introducing a gold etchant solution to our fabricated SHINER substrate, we verified that the shells fabricated with ALD are truly pin-hole-free.

Abstract
Traditional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors rely heavily on the use of plasmonic noble metals, which have limitations due to their high cost and lack of physical and chemical stability. Hence, it is imperative to explore new materials as SERS platforms that can withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions. In this study, the SERS effect of molybdenum boride ceramic powders is presented with an enhancement factor of 5 orders, which is comparable to conventional noble metal substrates. The molybdenum boride powders synthesized through liquid-phase precursor and carbothermal reduction have β-MoB, MoB2 , and Mo2 B5 phases. Among these phases, β-MoB demonstrates the most significant SERS activity, with a detection limit for rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules of 10-9 m. The impressive SERS enhancement can be attributed to strong molecule interactions and prominent charge interactions between R6G and the various phases of molybdenum boride, as supported by theoretical calculations. Additionally, Raman measurements show that the SERS activity remains intact after exposure to high temperature, strong acids, and alkalis. This research introduces a novel molybdenum boride all-ceramic SERS platform capable of functioning in harsh conditions, thereby showing the promising of boride ultrahigh-temperature ceramics for detection applications in extreme environments.

Abstract
In the minerals processing industry, the surface chemistry of mineral particles and its real-time detection can significantly enhance process performance, and ultimately leading to automotive and intelligent control. The adsorption of collector molecule onto bulk mineral specimens could be investigated with the help of shell-isolated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). However, this method is unsuitable for the online detection of particles fluid consisted of micro-sized chalcocite that encountered in industrial production processes. In this work, a novel strategy of shell-isolated nanoparticles synthesis by electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles film and isolation of this film with crosslinked silica monolayer was proposed. The adsorption of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), a typical flotation collector, onto a copper sulfide mineral, chalcocite was measured in-situ with the help of such a SERS substrate. Enhancement factors of 106-107 was calculated based on an idealized model. Furthermore, we discussed the stability of the silica isolation monolayer under high-power laser irradiation.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical technique renowned for its ultra-high sensitivity. Extensive research in SERS has led to the development of a wide range of SERS substrates, including plasmonic metals, semiconductors, metal organic frameworks, and their assemblies. Some of these materials are also excellent photocatalysts, and by taking advantage of their bifunctional characteristics, the photocatalytic processes that occur on their surface can be monitored in situ via SERS. This provides us with unique opportunities to gain valuable insights into the intricate details of the photocatalytic processes that are challenging to access using other techniques. In this review, we highlight key development in in situ and/or real-time SERS-tracking of photocatalytic reactions. We begin by providing a brief account of recent developments in SERS substrates, followed by discussions on how SERS can be used to elucidate crucial aspects of photocatalytic processes, including: (1) the influence of the surrounding media on charge carrier extraction; (2) the direction of charge carrier transfer; (3) the pathway of photocatalytic activation; and (4) differentiation between the effects of photo-thermal and energetic electrons. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) due to the ability to achieve high-spatial-resolution measurements. Finally, we address major challenges and propose potential directions for the future of SERS monitoring of photocatalytic reactions. By leveraging the capabilities of SERS, we can uncover new insights into photocatalytic processes, paving the way for advancements in sustainable energy and environmental remediation.

Revealing the role of interfacial water and key intermediates at ruthenium surfaces in the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction. Nat Commun 2023; 14:5289. [PMID: 37648700 PMCID: PMC10468501 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-41030-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Ruthenium exhibits comparable or even better alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction activity than platinum, however, the mechanistic aspects are yet to be settled, which are elucidated by combining in situ Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations herein. We simultaneously capture dynamic spectral evidence of Ru surfaces, interfacial water, *H and *OH intermediates. Ru surfaces exist in different valence states in the reaction potential range, dissociating interfacial water differently and generating two distinct *H, resulting in different activities. The local cation tuning effect of hydrated Na+ ion water and the large work function of high-valence Ru(n+) surfaces promote interfacial water dissociation. Moreover, compared to low-valence Ru(0) surfaces, high-valence Ru(n+) surfaces have more moderate adsorption energies for interfacial water, *H, and *OH. They, therefore, facilitate the activity. Our findings demonstrate the regulation of valence state on interfacial water, intermediates, and finally the catalytic activity, which provide guidelines for the rational design of high-efficiency catalysts.

Abstract
Although both electromagnetic and charge transfer (CT) mechanisms play a role in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the contribution of the latter is limited by poor CT efficiency. Herein, we propose molecular-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (MERS) for the first time and develop a simple strategy to induce strong CT-enhanced Raman signals using a phosphoester (POE) electron-transfer bridge. Consequently, an excellent POE-enhanced Raman effect was found when various mono-, bis-, and trisaminobenzene compounds were used as probe analytes. Quantification analysis of this MERS effect revealed that the enhancement ratio and factor of the POE molecules can be up to 87% and ∼109, respectively. Spectroscopic analysis and density functional theory calculation confirmed that this effect was because of the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which promotes CT via electronic reorganization and enhances the Raman signals of target analytes. These results demonstrate the feasibility of MERS for highly CT-enhanced Raman signals.

Abstract
Emulsions are dispersed systems widely used in various industries. In recent years, Raman spectroscopy (RS), as a spectroscopic technique, has gained much attention for measuring and monitoring emulsions. In this review, we explore the use of RS on emulsion structures and emulsification, important reactions that use emulsions such as emulsion polymerization, catalysis and cascading reactions, as well as various applications of emulsions. We explore how RS is used in emulsions, reactions and applications. RS is a powerful and versatile tool for studying emulsions, but there are also challenges in using RS to monitor emulsion processes, especially if they are rapid or volatile. We also explore these challenges and difficulties, as well as possible designs that can be used to overcome them.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), an ultra-sensitive and non-destructive analytic technique, has attracted wide attention from the scientific community. Despite its rapid development, limited hotspots on the SERS substrates have restricted their potential in practical applications. Herein, we developed a facile method to fabricate a flexible three-dimensional (3D) SERS substrate composed of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs)-loaded carbon aerogels (CAs). Such a flexible Ag NPs/CAs substrate exhibited numerous hotspots, which can facilely be adjusted not only by tuning the density of Ag NPs but also by controlling the bending degree of the flexible substrate. In addition, the influence of hotspots on the local electric field enhancement was investigated by theoretical calculations. Moreover, the 3D network structure of the CAs with a large specific surface area and strong adsorption ability can improve the capture of target molecules. Consequently, the optimal Ag NPs/CAs substrate has a low detection limit of 10-12 M for rhodamine 6G molecules as well as good repeatability. Furthermore, based on the good performance of SERS detection of the Ag NPs/CAs substrate, it can also be practically used for the detection of thiram molecules on the surface of cherry tomatoes. Such a flexible 3D Ag NPs/CAs substrate has great potential for practical environmental monitoring applications.

Abstract
The collective oscillation of free electrons at the nanoscale surface of gold nanostructures is closely modulated by tuning the size, shape/morphology, phase, composition, hybridization, assembly, and nanopatterning, along with the surroundings of the plasmonic surface located at a dielectric interface with air, liquid, and solid. This review first introduces the physical origin of the intrinsic optical properties of gold nanostructures and further summarizes stimuli-responsive changes in optical properties, metal-field-enhanced optical signals, luminescence spectral shaping, chiroptical response, and photogenerated hot carriers. The current success in the landscape of nanoscience and nanotechnology mainly originates from the abundant optical properties of gold nanostructures in the thermodynamically stable face-centered cubic (fcc) phase. It has been further extended by crystal phase engineering to prepare thermodynamically unfavorable phases (e.g., kinetically stable) and heterophases to modulate their intriguing phase-dependent optical properties. A broad range of promising applications, including but not limited to full-color displays, solar energy harvesting, photochemical reactions, optical sensing, and microscopic/biomedical imaging, have fostered parallel research on the multitude of physical effects occurring in gold nanostructures.

Abstract
Recent years, two-dimensional transition metal carbonitrides (MXene) have attracted much attention in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). However, the relatively low enhancement of MXene is a major challenge. Herein, Nb2C-Au NPs nanocomposites were prepared by electrostatic self-assembly method, which have a synergistically conjugated SERS effect. The EM hot spots of Nb2C-Au NPs are significantly enlarged and expanded, while the surface Fermi level is decreased. This synergistic effect could improve the SERS performance of the system. Consequently, for the dye molecules CV and MeB, the detection limits reach 10-10 M and 10-9 M, respectively, while for biomolecule adenine, the detection limit is as low as 5 × 10-8 M. The results also show the good concentration-dependent linearity, uniformity, reproducibility and stability of SERS substrate. Nb2C-Au NPs could be a fast, sensitive and stable SERS platform for label-free and non-destructive detection. This work may expand the application of MXene based materials in the field of SERS.

Abstract
Rapid detection of diquat (DQ) is essential in clinical diagnosis and rescue. Here, we developed a fast, simple-yet-practical detection strategy for the reliable identification and quantification of DQ in biological fluids. Based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), point-of-care detection was realized under the acidic condition with gold nanoparticles as the substrate. Under optimal experimental conditions, the detection limits of the strategy were 17.5 ppb and 1.99 ppm in human urine and gastric juice, respectively. High specificity and selectivity of the SERS strategy were demonstrated using common pesticides and coexisting biological substances. The method was also used to detect biofluids from 5 patients and urine samples from 10 healthy volunteers. The results were in high agreement with spectrophotometric and clinical liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods. The volume of urine samples required for this technique is merely 20 μL, and no preparation of the samples is required. Compared to traditional methods used in clinical settings, SERS-based methods are capable of real-time measurements that accurately provide rapid detection and response in non-laboratory settings, with great potential for on-site and point-of-care testing.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are core steps of various energy conversion and storage systems. However, their sluggish reaction kinetics, i.e., the demanding multielectron transfer processes, still render OER/ORR catalysts less efficient for practical applications. Moreover, the complexity of the catalyst-electrolyte interface makes a comprehensive understanding of the intrinsic OER/ORR mechanisms challenging. Fortunately, recent advances of in situ/operando characterization techniques have facilitated the kinetic monitoring of catalysts under reaction conditions. Here we provide selected highlights of recent in situ/operando mechanistic studies of OER/ORR catalysts with the main emphasis placed on heterogeneous systems (primarily discussing first-row transition metals which operate under basic conditions), followed by a brief outlook on molecular catalysts. Key sections in this review are focused on determination of the true active species, identification of the active sites, and monitoring of the reactive intermediates. For in-depth insights into the above factors, a short overview of the metrics for accurate characterizations of OER/ORR catalysts is provided. A combination of the obtained time-resolved reaction information and reliable activity data will then guide the rational design of new catalysts. Strategies such as optimizing the restructuring process as well as overcoming the adsorption-energy scaling relations will be discussed. Finally, pending current challenges and prospects toward the understanding and development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts and selected homogeneous catalysts are presented.

Abstract
Accurate quantitative, in situ and temporal tracking imaging of tumor-associated miRNAs in living cells could provide a basis for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this strategy, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-fluorescence (FL) dual-spectral sensor (DSS) was constructed based on the nanoscale photophysical properties of AuNPs, mediated by functionalized DNA, to achieve rapid imaging of FL and accurate SERS quantification of intracellular miRNAs. The dual-spectrum sensor in the strategy is highly sensitive, specific and reproducibly stable. The LOD values of the dual spectra were 3.58 pM (SERS) as well as 11.8 pM (FL) with RSD values less than 2.69%. The bispectral sensor self-assembled into a trimer by the lapidation of Y-type DNA under the excitation of the target, generating a stable enhanced electric field coupling; and selected adenine located in the enhanced electric field as the reporter molecule, simplifying the labeling process and variables of the Raman reporter molecule, distinguishing it from other traditional methods. This strategy successfully achieved accurate tracking and quantification of miR-21 in cancer cells and showed good stability in the cells. The reported probes are potential tools for reliable monitoring of biomolecular dynamics in living cells.

Abstract
Anisotropic nanoparticles have been widely used as building blocks for preparing surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates. However, tailoring the SERS activity at the self-assembly level through the anisotropic nanoparticle orientation is a big challenge, mainly due to the lack of simple assembly methods. In the present work, we report an air-water interface mediated co-assembly (AWIMCoA) strategy to prepare flexible 2D superlattices of Au octahedra with tunable orientations. We have demonstrated that Au octahedra can self-assemble into face-up, edge-up and vertex-up orientations on changing the surface wettability of Au octahedra, which determines the interparticle anisotropic interactions and the interaction between Au octahedra and the poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) (SEBS) nanomembrane. The effect of assembly orientation on the SERS performance of 2D superlattices has been studied through correlated SEM characterization and SERS mapping. Among all the orientational modes, flexible 2D superlattices with the vertex-up orientation show the highest enhancement performance and uniformity, which is further demonstrated by theoretical simulation. Partially embedded 2D superlattices in the SEBS nanomembrane are robust to remove the surface ligands without breaking the whole nanostructure. This post-treatment process boosts the SERS performance of the 2D superlattice with the edge-up orientation by forming fused nanostructures among neighboring Au octahedra. We expect that the co-assembly method will be widely applied in the preparation of reusable and high-performance SERS substrates for broad application.

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY (OXFORD, OXFORDSHIRE : 1986) 2023; 98:602-614. [PMID: 37066082 PMCID: PMC10087041 DOI: 10.1002/jctb.7153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The demand for value-added compounds such as amylase, pyruvate and phenolic compounds produced by biological methods has prompted the rapid development of advanced technologies for their enhanced production. Nanobiohybrids (NBs) make use of both the microbial properties of whole-cell microorganisms and the light-harvesting efficiency of semiconductors. Photosynthetic NBs were constructed that link the biosynthetic pathways of Aspergillus niger with CuS nanoparticles. RESULTS In this work, NB formation was confirmed by negative values of the interaction energy, i.e., 2.31 × 108 to -5.52 × 108 kJ mol-1 for CuS-Che NBs, whereas for CuS-Bio NBs the values were -2.31 × 108 to -4.62 × 108 kJ mol-1 for CuS-Bio NBs with spherical nanoparticle interaction. For CuS-Bio NBs with nanorod interaction, it ranged from -2.3 × 107 to -3.47 × 107 kJ mol-1 . Further, the morphological changes observed by scanning electron microscopy showed the presence of the elements Cu and S in the energy-dispersive X-ray spectra and the presence of CuS bonds in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicate NB formation. In addition, the quenching effect in photoluminescence studies confirmed NB formation. Production yields of amylase, phenolic compounds and pyruvate amounted to 11.2 μmol L-1, 52.5 μmol L-1 and 28 nmol μL-1, respectively, in A. niger-CuS Bio NBs on the third day of incubation in the bioreactor. Moreover, A niger cells-CuS Bio NBs had amino acids and lipid yields of 6.2 mg mL-1 and 26.5 mg L-1, respectively. Furthermore, probable mechanisms for the enhanced production of amylase, pyruvate and phenolic compounds are proposed. CONCLUSION Aspergillus niger-CuS NBs were used for the production of the amylase enzyme and value-added compounds such as pyruvate and phenolic compounds. Aspergillus niger-CuS Bio NBs showed a greater efficiency compared to A. niger-CuS Che NBs as the biologically produced CuS nanoparticles had a higher compatibility with A. niger cells. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Operando monitoring of catalytic reaction kinetics plays a key role in investigating the reaction pathways and revealing the reaction mechanisms. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been demonstrated as an innovative tool in tracking molecular dynamics in heterogeneous reactions. However, the SERS performance of most catalytic metals is inadequate. In this work, we propose hybridized VSe2-x O x @Pd sensors to track the molecular dynamics in Pd-catalyzed reactions. Benefiting from metal-support interactions (MSI), the VSe2-x O x @Pd realizes strong charge transfer and enriched density of states near the Fermi level, thereby strongly intensifying the photoinduced charge transfer (PICT) to the adsorbed molecules and consequently enhancing the SERS signals. The excellent SERS performance of the VSe2-x O x @Pd offers the possibility for self-monitoring the Pd-catalyzed reaction. Taking the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction as an example, operando investigations of Pd-catalyzed reactions were demonstrated on the VSe2-x O x @Pd, and the contributions from PICT resonance were illustrated by wavelength-dependent studies. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of improved SERS performance of catalytic metals by modulating the MSI and offers a valid means to investigate the mechanisms of Pd-catalyzed reactions based on VSe2-x O x @Pd sensors.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) have opened a variety of exciting research fields. However, although a vast number of applications have been proposed since the two techniques were first reported, none has been applied to real practical use. This calls for an update in the recent fundamental and application studies of SERS and TERS. Thus, the goals and scope of this review are to report new directions and perspectives of SERS and TERS, mainly from the viewpoint of combining their mechanism and application studies. Regarding the recent progress in SERS and TERS, this review discusses four main topics: (1) nanometer to subnanometer plasmonic hotspots for SERS; (2) Ångström resolved TERS; (3) chemical mechanisms, i.e., charge-transfer mechanism of SERS and semiconductor-enhanced Raman scattering; and (4) the creation of a strong bridge between the mechanism studies and applications.

Abstract
Electroreductive dehalogenation as an efficient and green approach has attracted much attention in pollution remediation. Herein, we have employed a shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) technique to in situ probe the electroreductive dehalogenation process of aryl halides with thiol groups at Ag/aqueous solution interfaces. It is found that 4-bromothiophenol (BTP) and 4-chlorothiophenol (CTP) can turn into mixed products of 4,4'-biphenyldithiol (BPDT) and thiophenol (TP) as the electrode potential decreases. The conversion ratios estimated from the Raman intensity variations of C-Cl and C-Br vibrations are 44% and 58% for CTP and BTP in neutral solution, respectively. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis of benzene ring vibrations reveals a C-C cross coupling between the benzene free radical intermediate and adjacent TP product, which results in increased selectivity for biphenyl products at negative potentials.

Abstract
Sensitive and reliable clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) quantification without preamplification of the sample remains a challenge. Herein, we report a CRISPR Cas12a-powered silicon surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) ratiometric chip for sensitive and reliable quantification. As a proof-of-concept application, we select the platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) as the target. We first develop a microfluidic synthetic strategy to prepare homogeneous silicon SERS substrates, in which uniform silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are in situ grown on a silicon wafer (AgNPs@Si) by microfluidic galvanic deposition reactions. Next, one 5'-SH-3'-ROX-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is modified on AgNPs via Ag-S bonds. In our design, such ssDNA has two fragments: one fragment hybridizes to its complementary DNA (5'-Cy3-labeled ssDNA) to form double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and the other fragment labeled with 6'-carboxy-X-rhodmine (ROX) extends out as a substrate for Cas12a. The cleavage of the ROX-tagged fragment by Cas12a is controlled by the presence or not of PDGF-BB. Meanwhile, Cy3 molecules serving as internal standard molecules still stay at the end of the rigid dsDNA, and their signals remain constant. Thereby, the ratio of ROX signal intensity to Cy3 intensity can be employed for the reliable quantification of PDGF-BB concentration. The developed chip features an ultrahigh sensitivity (e.g., the limit of detection is as low as 3.2 pM, approximately 50 times more sensitive than the fluorescence counterpart) and good reproducibility (e.g., the relative standard deviation is less than 5%) in the detection of PDGF-BB.

Abstract
To gain superior signal-enhanced performance, metal nanocrystals serving as building blocks can be collectively assembled into a hierarchically ordered structure for creating multiple hotspots. However, the collaborative assembly of anisotropic crystals to form a hotspot-rich structure remains a challenging task. In this study, controllable shear was introduced to a soft liquid-liquid interface to provide a unique environment for the snowball assembly of silver pompon architectures (Ag-PAs). Micrometer-scale 3D plasmonic Ag pompon architectures composed of densely packed nanoparticles (NPs) are fabricated using shear-mediating crystal growth dynamics. The crystal morphology and size are easily controlled by tuning the interfacial shear and diffusion pathways. The hotspot-rich Ag-PAs with high sensitivity (LOD = 1.1 × 10-13 mol/L) exhibit a superior Raman enhancement performance, which is comparable to some bimetals.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy technique with distinguished features of non-destructivity, ultra-sensitivity, rapidity, and fingerprint characteristics for analysis and sensors. The SERS signals are mainly dependent on the engineering of high-quality substrates. Recently, solid SERS substrates with diverse forms have been attracting increasing attention due to their promising features, including dense hot spot, high stability, controllable morphology, and convenient portability. Here, we comprehensively review the recent advances made in the field of solid SERS substrates, including their common fabrication methods, basic categories, main features, and representative applications, respectively. Firstly, the main categories of solid SERS substrates, mainly including membrane substrate, self-assembled substrate, chip substrate, magnetic solid substrate, and other solid substrate, are introduced in detail, as well as corresponding construction strategies and main features. Secondly, the typical applications of solid SERS substrates in bio-analysis, food safety analysis, environment analysis, and other analyses are briefly reviewed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of solid SERS substrates, including analytical performance improvement and largescale production level enhancement, are proposed.

Abstract
Immobilization of metal nanoparticles (NPs) on flexible substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has received great attention. Anchoring NPs on substrates generally involves the process of surface modification, thanks to its simple, universal, and nondestructive features. 2-Hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HNQ), a plant-derived compound used to dye hairs and nails, may interact with polyamine or metal ions to form a surface coating. Here, we report the formation of amino-quinone coatings via the co-deposition of HNQ and polyethyleneimine, which provides a functionalized platform to rapidly immobilize Ag NPs on substrates such as a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) film to fabricate Ag-PDMS substrates for SERS detection. The detection concentrations are down to 10-8 M for rhodamine 6G. This work expands the system of surface co-deposition and further provides a facile route to prepare a highly efficient SERS substrate.

[PMID: 36077434 PMCID: PMC9456444 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231710041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Silica shell coatings, which constitute important technology for nanoparticle (NP) developments, are utilized in many applications. The silica shell's thickness greatly affects distance-dependent optical properties, such as metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and fluorescence quenching in plasmonic nanocomposites. However, the precise control of silica-shell thicknesses has been mainly conducted on single metal NPs, and rarely on complex nanocomposites. In this study, silica shell-coated Ag nanoparticle-assembled silica nanoparticles (SiO2@Ag@SiO2), with finely controlled silica shell thicknesses (4 nm to 38 nm), were prepared, and quantum dots (QDs) were introduced onto SiO2@Ag@SiO2. The dominant effect between plasmonic quenching and MEF was defined depending on the thickness of the silica shell between Ag and QDs. When the distance between Ag NPs to QDs was less than ~10 nm, SiO2@Ag@SiO2@QDs showed weaker fluorescence intensities than SiO2@QD (without metal) due to the quenching effect. On the other hand, when the distance between Ag NPs to QDs was from 10 nm to 14 nm, the fluorescence intensity of SiO2@Ag@SiO2@QD was stronger than SiO2@QDs due to MEF. The results provide background knowledge for controlling the thickness of silica shells in metal-containing nanocomposites and facilitate the development of potential applications utilizing the optimal plasmonic phenomenon.

Abstract
We designed a photocatalyst and developed sustainable wastewater purification technology, which have significant advantages in effectively solving the global problem of drinking water shortage. In this study, a new nanocomposite was reported and shown to be a catalyst with excellent performance; CuO was coated successively onto functionalized nano γ-Al2O3, and this novel structure could provide abundant active sites. We evaluated the performance of the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) degradation under visible light irradiation. Under optimized conditions (calcination temperature, 450 °C; mass ratio of γ-Al2O3:Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, 1:15; pH value, 7; catalyst dosage, 2.6 g/L; reaction temperature, 20 °C; and H2O2 dosage, 0.2 g/mL), the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst presented an excellent PVA removal rate of 99.21%. After ten consecutive degradation experiments, the catalyst could still maintain a PVA removal rate of 97.58%, thus demonstrating excellent reusability. This study provides an efficient and easy-to-prepare photocatalyst and proposes a mechanism for the synergistic effect of the photocatalytic reaction and the Fenton-like reaction.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions are particle-stabilized surfactant-free dispersions composed of two immiscible liquid phases, and emerge as attractive catalysis platform to surpass traditional technique barrier in some cases. In this review, we have comprehensively summarized the development and the catalysis applications of Pickering emulsions since the pioneering work in 2010. The explicit mechanism for Pickering emulsions will be initially discussed and clarified. Then, summarization is given to the design strategy of amphiphilic emulsion catalysts in two categories of intrinsic and extrinsic amphiphilicity. The progress of the unconventional catalytic reactions in Pickering emulsion is further described, especially for the polarity/solubility difference-driven phase segregation, "smart" emulsion reaction system, continuous flow catalysis, and Pickering interfacial biocatalysis. Challenges and future trends for the development of Pickering emulsion catalysis are finally outlined.

Abstract
In situ monitoring of the evolution of intermediates and catalysts during hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) processes and elucidating the reaction mechanism are crucial in catalysis and energy science. However, spectroscopic information on trace intermediates on catalyst surfaces is challenging to obtain due to the complexity of interfacial environments and lack of in situ techniques. Herein, core-shell nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy was employed to probe alkaline HOR processes on representative PtRu surfaces. Direct spectroscopic evidence of an OHad intermediate and RuOx (Ru(+3)/Ru(+4)) surface oxides is simultaneously obtained, verifying that Ru doping onto Pt promotes OHad adsorption on the RuOx surface to react with Had adsorption on the Pt surface to form H2O. In situ Raman, XPS, and DFT results reveal that RuOx coverage tunes the electronic structure of PtRuOx to optimize the adsorption energy of OHad on catalyst surfaces, leading to an improvement in HOR activity. Our findings provide mechanistic guidelines for the rational design of HOR catalysts with high activity.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising as novel disinfectants due to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in their photocatalytic processes. The optimal MOF is screened as the best disinfectant, representing high-efficacy production of ROS under photocatalytic conditions. However, current methods to screen abundant MOFs for disinfectant application are generally semiquantitative or ex situ methods [such as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements], so achieving a strategy that can quantitatively screen an optimal MOF in situ and is reliable is demanded. Herein, we developed a three-dimensional (3D) shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) platform to study the dynamic photocatalytic processes of various MOFs (e.g., ZIF-67, ZIF-8, and UIO-66) in situ. This platform comprises silica shell-isolated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified on silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWArs). The MOF is then self-assembled on the 3D-SHINERS substrate. Using this platform, we recorded dynamic spectroscopic evidence of ROS formation by various MOFs under sunlight irradiation. By dynamic comparison, ZIF-67 has the most robust photocatalytic efficiency, ∼1.7-fold stronger than that of ZIF-8 and ∼42.6-fold stronger than that of UIO-66. As expected, ZIF-67 displays the best antibacterial ability, up to 99% in the agar plate assay. This work provides a versatile platform for dynamically monitoring photocatalytic performance and screening antibacterial MOFs.

Abstract
The electroreductive cleavage of carbon-halogen bonds has attracted increasing attention in both electrosynthesis and pollution remediation. Herein, by employing the in situ electrochemical shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) technique, we have successfully investigated the electroreductive dehalogenation process of aryl halides with the thiol group on a smooth Au electrode in aqueous solution at different pH values. The obtained potential-dependent Raman spectra directly reveal a mixture of the reduction products 4,4'-biphenyldithiol (BPDT) and thiophenol (TP). The conversion ratios of the C-Cl and C-Br bonds at pH = 7 are 37% and 55%, respectively. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of the intensity variations of ν(C-Cl), ν(C-Br) and aromatic ν(CC) stretching modes suggests electroreductive dehalogenation via both direct electron transfer reduction and electrocatalytic hydrodehalogenation. Molecular evidence for the C-C cross coupling process through TP reaction with benzene free radical intermediates is found at negative potentials, which leads to the increasing selectivity of biphenyl products.

Abstract
A surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate of silver nanorod modified with graphene and silver nanorod (AgNR@Graphene@AgNR) has been fabricated to improve the sensitivity of SERS detection of hydrophobic pollutants, in which, graphene is an interlayer and AgNR is arranged on both sides of the graphene. The embedded graphene could help the oblique V-shaped AgNR structure to improve the sensitivity of SERS detection with a significant electric field enhancement effect. The annealing treatment of the substrate, shortening the nanometer gap between the graphene and AgNR, is benefit for producing a large number of "hot spots" at the fold, which has been verified by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation. The enhancement factor (EF) of AgNR@Graphene@AgNR could reach up to 1.6 × 108 with a good reproducibility. The substrate could achieve high-sensitivity detection of 4-chlorobiphenyl (PCB-3) and 3, 3', 4, 4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB-77) with the limit of detections (LODs) of 1.72 × 10-10 M and 2.11 × 10-8 M, and the effective identification of PCBs mixture has been realized through principal component analysis (PCA), which means that the AgNR@Graphene@AgNR substrate has a potential significance for the detection and analysis of hydrophobic pollutant mixtures in the environment.

Abstract
Electrochemical conversion of abundant resources, such as carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, and nitrate, is a remarkable strategy for replacing fossil fuel-based processes and achieving a sustainable energy future. Designing an efficient and selective electrocatalysis system for electrochemical conversion reactions remains a challenge due to a lack of understanding of the reaction mechanism. Shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS) is a promising strategy for experimentally unraveling a reaction pathway and rate-limiting step by detecting intermediate species and catalytically active sites that occur during the reaction regardless of substrate. In this review, we introduce the SHINERS principle and its historical developments. Furthermore, we discuss recent SHINERS applications and developments for investigating intermediate species involved in a variety of electrocatalytic reactions.
