Abstract
As we all know, SERS (Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) is widely used in sensing, analysis and detection. The covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have performed well as a material for supporting metal nanoparticles and facilitating analyte adsorption in SERS, which may greatly enhance the detection sensitivity and reproducibility. The synthesis of traditional metal/COFs composites involved chemical reduction methods, however, the resulting metallic NPs exhibited reduced capacity to enhance SERS due to their small particle sizes (usually <20 nm). This paper presented a novel photoreduction method for the facile growth of AuNPs (diameters: 75 nm) on COFs matrix under light control, which represents the first report of such synthesis on COF. Subsequently, the photoreduction deposition induced AuNPs/COFs composites, which served as highly sensitive and reproducible SERS-active substrates for capturing the spectral information of four types of macrolide antibiotics. The detection limits for the four macrolide antibiotics were determined to be 3.30 × 10-11, 3.43 × 10-10, 1.10 × 10-10 and 5.78 × 10-11 M, respectively, exhibiting excellent linear relationships within the concentration range of 10-10 to 10-3 M. Therefore, our proposed SERS method opens up a new idea for the development of SERS substrates and environmental safety monitoring, and it has great potential for ensuring food safety in the future.

Abstract
The rapid detection of contaminants in water resources is vital for safeguarding the environment, where the use of eco-friendly materials for water monitoring technologies has become increasingly prioritized. In this context, the role of biocomposites in the development of a SERS sensor is reported in this study. Grafted chitosan was employed as a matrix support for Ag nanoparticles (NPs) for the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Chitosan (CS) was decorated with thiol and carboxylic acid groups by incorporating S-acetyl mercaptosuccinic anhydride (SAMSA) to yield CS-SAMSA. Then, Ag NPs were immobilized onto the CS-SAMSA (Ag@CS-SAMSA) and characterized by spectral methods (IR, Raman, NIR, solid state 13C NMR with CP-MAS, XPS, and TEM). Ag@CS-SAMSA was evaluated as a substrate for SERS, where methylene blue (MB) was used as a model dye adsorbate. The Ag@CS-SAMSA sensor demonstrated a high sensitivity (with an enhancement factor ca. 108) and reusability over three cycles, with acceptable reproducibility and storage stability. The Raman imaging revealed a large SERS effect, whereas the MB detection varied from 1-100 μM. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ) of the biocomposite sensor were characterized, revealing properties that rival current state-of-the-art systems. The dye adsorption profiles were studied via SERS by fitting the isotherm results with the Hill model to yield the ΔG°ads for the adsorption process. This research demonstrates a sustainable dual-function biocomposite with tailored adsorption and sensing properties suitable for potential utility in advanced water treatment technology and environmental monitoring applications.

Abstract
Developing a Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method with excellent detecting ability, good recyclability and analyzing multiple pollutants rapidly are critical for evaluation of water quality in emergency pollution affairs. While constructing a multifunctional substrate with these characteristics to realize the application of SERS in water quality monitoring remains a challenge. In this work, a reusable Au@R-Fe3O4/g-C3N4 SERS substrate is prepared by loading Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) on Fe3O4 nanorings (R-Fe3O4) and the formed Au@R-Fe3O4 is further combined with g-C3N4 nanosheets through a simple electrostatic assembly method. The Au@R-Fe3O4/g-C3N4 nanocomposite presents multifunction of magnetic enrichment, SERS signal enhancement, multiple pollutants analyzing, and photocatalytic activity, which achieves quantitative detection of rhodamine B (RhB), tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), with detection limits of 5.30 × 10-9, 7.50 × 10-8, 7.69 × 10-8 mol/L, respectively. Furthermore, the recyclable detection capability of Au@R-Fe3O4/g-C3N4 for multi components is demonstrated by the strong SERS signal after 9 cycles of "detection-degradation" processes. Combined with good uniformity and stability, this SERS method based on Au@R-Fe3O4/g-C3N4 substrate provides a new strategy for the multi-pollutants detection and degradation in water environment.

Abstract
We derived a theory of biomolecule binding to the surface of Aun clusters and of the Au plane based on the hard soft acid base (HSAB) principle and the free electron metallic surface model. With the use of quantum mechanical calculations, the chemical potential (μ) and the chemical hardness (η) of the biomolecules are estimated. The effect of the gold is introduced via the empirical value of the gold chemical potential (-5.77 eV) as well as by using the expression (modified here) for the chemical hardness (η). The effect of an aqueous environment is introduced by means of the ligand molecular geometry influenced by the PCM field. This theory allows for a fast and low-cost estimation of binding biomolecules to the AuNPs surface. The predicted binding of thiolated genistein and abiraterone to the gold surface is about 20 kcal/mol. The model of the exchange reaction between these biomolecules and citrates on the Au surface corresponds well with the experimental observations for thiolated abiraterone. Moreover, using a model of the place exchange of linear mercaptohydrocarbons on 12-mercaptododecane acid methyl ester bound to the Au surface, the present results reflect the known relation between exchange energy and the size of the reagents.

Abstract
Herbs containing aristolochic acids (AAs) have already been proven to be highly carcinogenic and nephrotoxic. In this study, a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) identification method was developed. Ag-APS nanoparticles with a particle size of 3.53 ± 0.92 nm were produced by combining silver nitrate and 3-aminopropylsilatrane. The reaction between the carboxylic acid group of aristolochic acid I (AAI) and amine group of Ag-APS NPs was used to form amide bonds, and thus, concentrate AAI, rendering it easy to detect via SERS and amplified to obtain the best SERS enhancement effect. Detection limit was calculated to be approximately 40 nM. Using the SERS method, AAI was successfully detected in the samples of four Chinese herbal medicines containing AAI. Therefore, this method has a high potential to be applied in the future development of AAI analysis and rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis of AAI in dietary supplements and edible herbs.

Abstract
Raman spectra are often masked by strong fluorescence, which severely hinders the applications of Raman spectroscopy. Herein, for the first time, we report ionic-wind-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (IWERS) incorporated with photobleaching (PB) as a noninvasive approach to detect fluorescent and vulnerable samples without a substrate. In this study, ionic wind (IW) generated by needle-net electrodes transfers charges to the sample surface in air on the scale of millimeters rather than nanometers in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the ionic particles in IW increase the susceptibility of the sample molecules, thus enhancing the Raman signals. Meanwhile, the incorporation of IW with PB yields a synergistic effect to quench fluorescence. Therefore, this approach can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of Raman peaks up to three times higher than that with only PB. At the same time, IWERS can avoid sample pollution and destruction without substrates as well as high laser power. For archeological samples and a red rock as an analogue to Mars geological samples, IWERS successfully identified weak but key Raman peaks, which were masked by strong florescence. It suggests that IWERS is a promising tool for characterizations in the fields of archeology, planetary science, biomedicine, and soft matter.

Abstract
At present, the use of efficient and cost-effective methods to construct plasmonic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates of high sensitivity, uniformity and reproducibility is still crucial to satisfy the practical application of SERS technology. In this paper, a localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) tunable flexible Ag@PDMS substrate was successfully constructed by the low-cost bio-template-stripping method and magnetron sputtering technology. The theory proves that the local electromagnetic field enhancement and "hot spot" distribution is adjustable by modifying the size of the optical cavity unit in the periodicity nanocavity array structure. Experimentally, using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the target analyte, the SERS performance of optimal Ag@PDMS substrate (Ag film thickness for 315 nm) was researched in detail, which the minimum detection limit was 10-11 M and the enhancement factor was calculated as 8.03 × 108, indicating its high sensitivity. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was calculated as 10.38%, showing that the prepared substrate had excellent electromagnetic field enhancement uniformity. At last, the trace detection of Crystal violet (CV, LOD = 10-9 M) and the simultaneous detection of three common dyes (R6G, CV and Methylene blue (MB) mixture) were also realized. This result suggests that the SERS substrate has a good application prospect in the quantitative and qualitative detection of dye molecules.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopic-based biosensing strategies are often complicated by low signal and the presence of multiple chemical species. While surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanostructured platforms are able to deliver high quality signals by focusing the electromagnetic field into a tight plasmonic hot-spot, it is not a generally applicable strategy as it often depends on the specific adsorption of the analyte of interest onto the SERS platform. This paper describes a strategy to address this challenge by using surface potential as a physical binding agent in the context of microneedle sensors. We show that the potential-dependent adsorption of different chemical species allows scrutinization of the contributions of different chemical species to the final spectrum, and that the ability to cyclically adsorb and desorb molecules from the surface enables efficient application of multivariate analysis methods. We demonstrate how the strategy can be used to mitigate potentially confounding phenomena, such as surface reactions, competitive adsorption and the presence of molecules with similar structures. In addition, this decomposition helps evaluate criteria to maximize the signal of one molecule with respect to others, offering new opportunities to enhance the measurement of analytes in the presence of interferants.

Abstract
The core of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based techniques for dynamic monitoring is to realize rapid and reversible adsorption. Herein, the integration technology of electro-enhanced adsorption, solid-phase microextraction, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EE-SPME-SERS) was developed to obtain sensitive, ultrafast, and reversible SERS response toward in situ monitoring of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). In the EE-SPME-SERS method, a roughened Ag fiber with Au modification (r-Ag/Au fiber) was used as the SERS substrate, SPME sorbent, and working electrode. The r-Ag/Au fiber displayed good SERS sensitivity, ultrahigh photostability, and adsorption properties. The adsorption efficiency of benzidine was 76 times accelerated in EE-SPME-SERS compared to that in static adsorption. The whole process of "sampling and detection" in EE-SPME-SERS can be finished within 1 s. Reversible adsorption and desorption can be achieved in situ by switching the direction of electric field, and the regeneration process takes only a few minutes. Simulated release of benzidine from household wastewater was in situ and dynamically monitored using this strategy. EE-SPME-SERS was proved universal for ionized PPCPs and can detect multicomponents simultaneously. In addition, EE-SPME-SERS showed very good analytical properties. Great potential of EE-SPME-SERS can be expected in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
In this study, we show how surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be used to monitor the molecular behaviour of aspirin and tenofovir as a means of screening medication for quality control purposes. Gold-coated slides combined with gold/dextran nanoaggregates were used to provide signal enhancement of the drugs using SERS. Aspirin (10% w/v) and tenofovir (20% v/v) were analysed in the presence of the nanomaterials to determine trends in molecular response to changes in gold/dextran concentrations. Qualitative analysis of the functional groups showed specific trends where the peak area increased with polarizability, electron density and decreased atomic radii. Steric hinderance effects also affected the trends in peak area due to the amount of gold/dextran nanoparticles in solution. Statistical analysis provided accurate and precise linear relationships (R2 = 0.99) for the ester and adenine functional groups of aspirin and tenofovir, respectively. From the above findings, the combined use of gold nano-scaffolds and gold/dextran nanomaterials amplified the Raman signal from the drugs to allow for systematic evaluation of their molecular properties. Although more experiments to correlate the findings are still needed, this SERS approach shows great potential as a screening method in the quality control of medications.

Herein, we have demonstrated the fabrication of sulfur (S)-doped Mn-Co oxides to regulate their band and surface electronic structures, which is beneficial to enhancing the charge transfer (CT) between the metal oxides and their adsorbed molecules. As expected, significantly enhanced SERS signals are achieved on S-doped Mn-Co oxide nanotubes, and the minimum detection concentration can reach as low as 10-8 M. Furthermore, the change in the electronic structure caused by S-doping provides different microelectric fields to influence the orientation of the interaction between the probe molecules and the substrate. Additionally, the evaluation of the oxidase-like catalytic activity of the substrate proved that, with an increase in the ratio of Co2+/Co3+ content, the number of electrons on the substrate increases, which promotes the CT process and further increases the degree of CT. The nonmetallic doping route in semiconducting metal oxides can provide effective and stable SERS activity; moreover, it provides a new strategy for exploring the relationship between CT in catalysis and SERS performance of semiconductors.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), a powerful technique for trace molecular detection, depends on chemical and electromagnetic enhancements. While recent advances in instrumentation and substrate design have expanded the utility, reproducibility, and quantitative capabilities of SERS, some challenges persist. In this review, advances in quantitative SERS detection are discussed as they relate to intermolecular interactions, surface selection rules, and target molecule solubility and accessibility. After a brief introduction to Raman scattering and SERS, impacts of surface selection rules and enhancement mechanisms are discussed as they relate to the observation of activation and deactivation of normal Raman modes in SERS. Next, experimental conditions that can be used to tune molecular affinity to and density near SERS substrates are summarized and considered while tuning these parameters are conveyed. Finally, successful examples of quantitative SERS detection are discussed, and future opportunities are outlined. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, Volume 73 is April 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
Waveguide enhanced Raman spectroscopy (WERS) utilizes simple, robust, high-index contrast dielectric waveguides to generate a strong evanescent field, through which laser light interacts with analytes residing on the surface of the waveguide. It offers a powerful tool for the direct identification and reproducible quantification of biochemical species and an alternative to surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) without reliance on fragile noble metal nanostructures. The advent of low-cost laser diodes, compact spectrometers, and recent progress in material engineering, nanofabrication techniques, and software modeling tools have made realizing portable and cheap WERS Raman systems with high sensitivity a realistic possibility. This review highlights the latest progress in WERS technology and summarizes recent demonstrations and applications. Following an introduction to the fundamentals of WERS, the theoretical framework that underpins the WERS principles is presented. The main WERS design considerations are then discussed, and a review of the available approaches for the modification of waveguide surfaces for the attachment of different biorecognition elements is provided. The review concludes by discussing and contrasting the performance of recent WERS implementations, thereby providing a future roadmap of WERS technology where the key opportunities and challenges are highlighted.

Abstract
Biomimetic cell membrane-coated nanoparticles have been broadly applied because of their superior biochemical properties. The right-side-out cell membrane coating manner provides nanoparticles with an immune-evasive stealth function in vivo. However, this acts as a drag for drug discovery when the drug targets are the intracellular domain of transmembrane receptors. Herein, inside-out-oriented cell membrane-coated nanoparticles were prepared for screening tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which specifically interacted with the intracellular kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor. Biotinylated human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell membranes specifically interacted with streptavidin-immobilized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and then formed inside-out-oriented cell membrane-coated magnetic nanoparticles (IOCMMNPs). The cell membrane orientation of the IOCMMNPs was successfully confirmed by immunogold electron microscopy, fluorescently labeled confocal microscopy, sialic acid quantification assay, and the adsorption capacity assay. Moreover, IOCMMNPs possessed satisfactory binding capacity, selectivity, and high sensitivity (limit of detection = 0.4 × 10-3 μg mL-1). Ultimately, IOCMMNPs successfully targeted two main compounds from Strychnos nux-vomica whose potential antitumor activities were further validated by pharmacological studies. The application of the inside-out cell membrane coating strategy further enhances the drug screening efficiency and broadens the insight and methodologies for drug lead discovery. This inside-out cell membrane coating concept also provides a method for the future development of engineered cell membrane-coated nanotechnology.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an ultrasensitive analytical technique, which is capable of providing high specificity; thus, it can be used for toxicological drug assay (detection and quantification). However, SERS-based drug analysis directly in human biofluids requires mitigation of fouling and nonspecificity effects that commonly appeared from unwanted adsorption of endogenous biomolecules present in biofluids (e.g., blood plasma and serum) onto the SERS substrate. Here, we report a bottom-up fabrication strategy to prepare ultrasensitive SERS substrates, first, by functionalizing chemically synthesized gold triangular nanoprisms (Au TNPs) with poly(ethylene glycol)-thiolate in the solid state to avoid protein fouling and second, by generating flexible plasmonic patches to enhance SERS sensitivity via the formation of high-intensity electromagnetic hot spots. Poly(ethylene glycol)-thiolate-functionalized Au TNPs in the form of flexible plasmonic patches show a twofold-improved signal-to-noise ratio in comparison to triethylamine (TEA)-passivated Au TNPs. Furthermore, the plasmonic patch displays a SERS enhancement factor of 4.5 ×107. Utilizing the Langmuir adsorption model, we determine the adsorption constant of drugs for two different surface ligands and observe that the drug molecules display stronger affinity for poly(ethylene glycol) ligands than TEA. Our density functional theory calculations unequivocally support the interaction between drug molecules and poly(ethylene glycol) moieties. Furthermore, the universality of the plasmonic patch for SERS-based drug detection is demonstrated for cocaine, JWH-018, and opioids (fentanyl, despropionyl fentanyl, and heroin) and binary mixture (trace amount of fentanyl in heroin) analyses. We demonstrate the applicability of flexible plasmonic patches for the selective assay of fentanyl at picogram/milliliter concentration levels from drug-of-abuse patients' blood plasma. The fentanyl concentration calculated in the patients' blood plasma from SERS analysis is in excellent agreement with the values determined using the paper spray ionization mass spectrometry technique. We believe that the flexible plasmonic patch fabrication strategy would be widely applicable to any plasmonic nanostructure for SERS-based chemical sensing for clinical toxicology and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool to monitor various interfacial behaviors providing molecular level information with high spatial and temporal resolutions. However, it is a challenge to obtain SERS spectra with high quality for analytes having a weak binding affinity with plasmonic nanostructures due to the short dwell time of the analyte on the surface. Here, we employed dynamic SERS, an acquisition method consisting of the rapid acquisition of a series of consecutive SERS spectra, to study the adsorption/desorption behavior of R6G on Ag surfaces. We demonstrated that the signal-noise ratio of SERS spectra of mobile molecules can be improved by dynamic SERS even when the acquisition time cannot catch up with the diffusion time of the molecule. More interestingly, we captured the neutral R6G0 state (spectroscopically different from the dominated positive R6G+ state) of R6G at the single-molecule level, which is a rare molecule event hardly detectable by traditional SERS. Dynamic SERS provides near real-time molecular vibrational information with an improved signal-noise ratio, which opens a new avenue to capture metastable or rare molecule events for the comprehensive understanding of interfacial processes related to catalysis and life science.

Abstract
Herein we report the programmable preparation of ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based nanoplasmonic superlattice substrates to assay fentanyl and cocaine (detection and quantification) from 10 μL aliquots of emergency department patient plasma without the need for purification steps. Highly homogeneous three-dimensional (3D) nanoplasmonic superlattices are generated through the droplet evaporation-based self-assembly process of chemically-synthesized, polyethylene glycol thiolate-coated gold triangular nanoprisms (Au TNPs). Close-packed, solid-state 3D superlattice substrates produce electromagnetic hot spots due to near-field plasmonic coupling of Au TNPs, which display unique localized surface plasmonic resonance properties. These uniquely prepared superlattice substrates enable strong SERS enhancement to achieve a parts-per-quadrillion limit of detection using the label-free SERS-based technique. Our reported limit of detection is at least 100-fold better than any known SERS substrates for the drug assay. Importantly, our density functional theory calculations show that a specific electronic interaction between the drug molecule and novel nanoplasmonic superlattice substrates plays a critical role that may trigger achieving this unprecedentedly high sensitivity. Additionally, we show high selectivity of the superlattice substrate in the SERS-based detection of analytes from different patient samples, which do and do not contain target analytes (i.e., fentanyl and/or cocaine). The demonstrated sensitivity and selectivity of 3D superlattice substrates for SERS-based drug analysis in real toxicological samples are expected to advance the field of measurement science, and forensic and clinical toxicology by obviating the need for complicated sample processing steps, long assay times, and the low sensitivity of existing "gold standard" analytical techniques including gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Taken together, we believe that this entirely new and reproducible superlattice substrate for the SERS analysis will aid scientific, forensic, and healthcare communities to battle the drug overdose epidemic in the United States.

Abstract
Raman spectral vibrational frequencies are used to probe the local chemical environment surrounding molecules in solution and adsorbed to gold nanostars. Herein, the impacts of functional group protonation on monosubstituted benzene derivatives with amine, carboxylic acid, or hydroxide are evaluated. Changes in binding affinity and orientation are apparent by evaluating systematic variations in vibrational frequencies. Notably, the electron donating abilities of these functional groups influence the vibrational frequency of the ring breathing mode, thus leading to improved spectral interpretation. Furthermore, gold nanostars are used to investigate the impact of molecular protonation on the adsorption of benzoic acid/benzoate to gold. The changes in molecular protonation are measured using zeta potential and the surface-sensitive technique, surface-enhanced Raman scattering. These methods reveal that pH variations induce carboxylate protonation and electron redistribution that weaken molecular affinity, thereby causing the molecule to adopt a perpendicular to parallel orientation with respect to the nanostar surface. Functional group identity influences the ring breathing mode frequency as a function of changes in electron donation from the functional group to the ring in solution as well as molecular affinity to and orientation on gold. This exploitation of vibrational frequencies facilitates the elucidation of molecule behavior in complex systems.

Abstract
A metal-organic semiconductor-molecule model was developed with Ag nanoparticles (NPs), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) via the layer-by-layer self-assembly method. In the SERS spectrum of the Ag/PEDOT:PSS/4-MBA system, structural changes in the PEDOT chain were discovered, which provides a deeper understanding of the charge transfer (CT) mechanism in SERS and helps in the development of a method to construct metal-organic semiconductor SERS substrates. A quantitative calculation of the degree of charge transfer (ρCT(κ)) determines the CT contribution of PEDOT:PSS to the SERS intensity of the Ag/PEDOT:PSS/4-MBA system. On this basis, we propose the formation of a resonance complex between Ag NPs and PEDOT:PSS to explore the CT mechanism, which is beneficial for studying interface CT and for understanding the CT mechanism in SERS. The introduction of organic semiconductors in this study not only broadens the research scope of SERS substrates but also contributes to the exploration of SERS mechanisms.

Abstract
Cell membrane-cloaked nanotechnology has attracted increasing attention owing to its unique bionic properties, such as specific recognition and biocompatibility conferred by the integrated membrane structure and receptors. However, this technology is limited by the dissociation of the cell membrane from its carrier. Here, we report a novel type of cell membrane-cloaked modified magnetic nanoparticle with good stability in drug discovery. High α1A-adrenergic receptor (α1A-AR) expressing HEK293 cell membrane-cloaked magnetic nanogrippers (α1A/MNGs) were used as a platform for the specific targeting and binding of α1A-AR antagonists as candidate bioactive compounds from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Furthermore, using a dynamic covalent bonding approach, α1A/MNGs showed great stability with positive control drug recoveries of α1A/MNGs showing almost no decline after use in five adsorption-desorption cycles. Moreover, the α1A/MNGs possessed a unilamellar membrane with magnetic features and exhibited good binding capacity and selectivity. Ultimately, TCM and pharmacological studies of the bioactivity of the screened compounds confirmed the considerable targeting and binding capability of α1A/MNGs. Application of aldehyde group modification in this drug-targeting concept further improved biomaterial stability and paves the way for the development of new drug discovery strategies. More importantly, the successful application of α1A/MNGs provides new insights into methodologies to improve the integration of cell membranes with the nanoparticle platform.

Exploring the potential of laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry to analyse organic capping agents on inorganic nanoparticle surfaces. Anal Bioanal Chem 2020; 412:5261-5271. [PMID: 32542454 PMCID: PMC7387369 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-020-02740-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2019] [Revised: 05/17/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Analytical techniques are in high demand for the determination of organic capping agents on surfaces of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) such as gold (Au) and silver (Ag). In this study, the potential of laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-ToF-MS) as a technique fit for this purpose is demonstrated. First, a collection of reference spectra of most commonly used organic capping agents, including small molecules and polymers was established. Second, the robustness of the method was tested towards parameters like NP core material and NP size. In a third step, the quantitative capabilities of LDI-ToF-MS were determined. Finally, the potential to detect chemical alterations of the organic capping agent was evaluated. LDI-ToF-MS is able to detect capping agents ranging from small molecules (citric acid, tannic acid, lipoic acid) to large polymers (polyvinylpyrrolidone, branched polyethylenimine and methoxy polyethylene glycol sulfhydryl) on Au and Ag NPs based on characteristic signals for each capping agent. Small molecules showed characteristic fragment ions with low intensities, whereas polymers showed intense signals of the monomeric subunit. The NP concentration range comprises about two orders of magnitude with lowest detection limits of 5 mg/L or a capping agent concentration in the lower nM range. Changes in capping agent composition are detectable at NP concentrations in the g/L range. Thus, LDI-ToF-MS is particularly suitable for characterisation of polymer-capped NPs with high NP concentrations. This may be the case for quality control as part of the material synthesis and testing. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
In this work, based on the strawberry-like SiO2/Ag nanocomposites (SANC) immersed filter paper, a newly surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was constructed for the detection of acrylamide (AAm) in food products. To construct filter paper-based SANC (F-SANC) SERS substrates, SiO2 nanoparticles (SNP) were firstly synthesized and acted as carriers. After that, the in-situ preparation of silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) on SNP surface was carried out to form the strawberry-like three-dimensional (3D) structure of SANC. Finally, SANC were entangled into the filter paper to produce nanoarchitecture, thus providing enhanced plasmon resonance between SANC with strong SERS signal. Under the optimized conditions, the method exhibited good performance toward AAm with a vast linear response from 0.1 nM to 50 μM (R = 0.9935), limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 nM (S/N = 3), and the recoveries of 80.5%~105.6% for practical samples. This strategy showed good robustness in the rapid and sensitive detection of AAm, which could be a promising strategy in food analysis and verification.

Abstract
There is a constant need for the development of easy-to-operate systems for the rapid and unambiguous identification of bacterial pathogens in drinking water without the requirement for time-consuming culture processes. In this study, we present a disposable and low-cost lab-on-a-chip device utilizing a nanoporous membrane, which connects two stacked perpendicular microfluidic channels. Whereas one of the channels supplies the sample, the second one attracts it by potential-driven forces. Surface-enhanced Raman spectrometry (SERS) is employed as a reliable detection method for bacteria identification. To gain the effect of surface enhancement, silver nanoparticles were added to the sample. The pores of the membrane act as a filter trapping the bodies of microorganisms as well as clusters of nanoparticles creating suitable conditions for sensitive SERS detection. Therein, we focused on the construction and characterization of the device performance. To demonstrate the functionality of the microfluidic chip, we analyzed common pathogens (Escherichia coli DH5α and Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120) from spiked tap water using the optimized experimental parameters. The obtained results confirmed our system to be promising for the construction of a disposable optical platform for reliable and rapid pathogen detection which couples their electrokinetic concentration on the integrated nanoporous membrane with SERS detection.

Abstract
Plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering is a powerful approach to detecting and characterizing proteins in live and dynamic biological systems. However, the selective detection/enhancement of specific residues as well as spectral diffusion and fluctuations have complicated the interpretation of enhanced Raman spectra and images of biological matter. In this work, we demonstrate that the amino acid tryptophan (Trp) can capture an electron from an excited plasmon, which generates a radical anion that is resonantly enhanced: a visible excited electronic state slides into resonance upon charging. This surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) mechanism explains the persistence of Trp signatures in the SERS and TERS spectra of proteins. Evidence for this picture includes the observation of visible resonances in the UV-Vis extinction spectrum, changes in the ground state vibrational spectrum, and plasmon-resonance dependent behavior. DFT calculations support the experimental observations. The behavior observed from the free Trp molecule is shown to explain the SERS spectrum of the Trp-cage protein. In effect, resonant Raman scattering from radicals formed through plasmonic excitation represents an under-investigated mechanism that may be exploited for chemical sensing applications.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopy technique with sensitivity down to the single molecule level that provides fine molecular fingerprints, allowing for direct identification of target analytes. Extensive theoretical and experimental research, together with continuous development of nanotechnology, has significantly broadened the scope of SERS and made it a hot research field in chemistry, physics, materials, biomedicine, and so on. However, SERS has not been developed into a routine analytical technique, and continuous efforts have been made to address the problems preventing its real-world application. The present minireview focuses on analyzing current and potential strategies to tackle problems and realize the SERS performance necessary for translation to practical applications.

Abstract
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical effort has been directed toward understanding the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and demonstrating its potential in various types of ultrasensitive sensing applications in a wide variety of fields. In the 45 years since its discovery, SERS has blossomed into a rich area of research and technology, but additional efforts are still needed before it can be routinely used analytically and in commercial products. In this Review, prominent authors from around the world joined together to summarize the state of the art in understanding and using SERS and to predict what can be expected in the near future in terms of research, applications, and technological development. This Review is dedicated to SERS pioneer and our coauthor, the late Prof. Richard Van Duyne, whom we lost during the preparation of this article.

[PMID: 31910948 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2019.11.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 215] [Impact Index Per Article: 43.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2019] [Revised: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 11/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
This review is focused on recent developments of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications in Analytical Chemistry. The work covers advances in the fabrication methods of SERS substrates, including nanoparticles immobilization techniques and advanced nanopatterning with metallic features. Recent insights in quantitative and sampling methods for SERS implementation and the development of new SERS-based approaches for both qualitative and quantitative analysis are discussed. The advent of methods for pre-concentration and new approaches for single-molecule SERS quantification, such as the digital SERS procedure, has provided additional improvements in the analytical figures-of-merit for analysis and assays based on SERS. The use of metal nanostructures as SERS detection elements integrated in devices, such as microfluidic systems and optical fibers, provided new tools for SERS applications that expand beyond the laboratory environment, bringing new opportunities for real-time field tests and process monitoring based on SERS.

Abstract
Fabrication of high-performance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensors relies on the coordination of SERS substrates and sensing strategies. Herein, a SERS active AuCu alloy with a starfish-like structure is prepared using a surfactant-free method. By covering the anisotropic AuCu alloy with graphene oxide (GO), enhanced SERS activity is obtained owing to graphene-enhanced Raman scattering and assembly of Raman reporters. Besides, stability of SERS is promoted based on the protection of GO to the AuCu alloy. Meanwhile, it is found that SERS activity of AuCu/GO can be regulated by DNA. The regulation is sequence and length dual-dependent, and short polyT reveals the strongest ability of enhancing the SERS activity. Relying on this phenomenon, a SERS biosensor is designed to quantify apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1). Because of the APE1-induced cycling amplification, the biosensor is able to detect APE1 sensitively and selectively. In addition, APE1 in human serum is analyzed by the SERS biosensor and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data from the SERS method are superior to that from ELISA, indicating great potential of this biosensor in clinical applications.

Abstract
Elimination of massive aggregation of nanoparticles in the sample of high ionic strength is a prerequisite for the sensitive analysis through a surface-enhanced Raman spectrometry (SERS). We present a system of silver colloid modification composed of two thiolated modifiers (3-mercaptopropionic acid and thiolated polyethylene glycol) both creating a strong Ag-S bond. At their optimal molar ratio, the polymer acts as a steric barrier preventing direct nanoparticle-nanoparticle interaction, while the low-molecular organic acid creates areas accessible for the analyte molecules. Thus, this approach is an excellent tool for sustaining both the colloidal stability and SERS sensitivity. The functionality of the system was demonstrated on the SERS analysis of myoglobin from a saline solution. The favorable creation of hot spots was achieved by laser-induced sintering.

Abstract
The term "nanoparticle stability" is widely used to describe the preservation of a particular nanostructure property ranging from aggregation, composition, crystallinity, shape, size, and surface chemistry. As a result, this catch-all term has various meanings, which depend on the specific nanoparticle property of interest and/or application. In this feature article, we provide an answer to the question, "What does nanoparticle stability mean?". Broadly speaking, the definition of nanoparticle stability depends on the targeted size dependent property that is exploited and can only exist for a finite period of time given all nanostructures are inherently thermodynamically and energetically unfavorable relative to bulk states. To answer this question specifically, however, the relationship between nanoparticle stability and the physical/chemical properties of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles are discussed. Specific definitions are explored in terms of aggregation state, core composition, shape, size, and surface chemistry. Next, mechanisms of promoting nanoparticle stability are defined and related to these same nanoparticle properties. Metrics involving both kinetics and thermodynamics are considered. Methods that provide quantitative metrics for measuring and modeling nanoparticle stability in terms of core composition, shape, size, and surface chemistry are outlined. The stability of solution-phase nanoparticles are also impacted by aggregation state. Thus, collision and DLVO theories are discussed. Finally, challenges and opportunities in understanding what nanoparticle stability means are addressed to facilitate further studies with this important class of materials.

Abstract
Nanoparticle surface coatings dictate their fate, transport, and bioavailability. We used a gold nanoparticle-bacterial cellulose substrate and "hot spot"-normalized surface-enhanced Raman scattering (HSNSERS) to achieve in situ and real-time monitoring of ligand exchange reactions on the gold surface. This approach enables semiquantitative determination of citrate surface coverage. Following exposure of the citrate-coated nanoparticles to a suite of guest ligands (thiolates, amines, carboxylates, inorganic ions, and proteins), the guest ligand signal exhibited first-order growth kinetics, while the desorption mediated decay of the citrate signal followed a first-order model. Guest ligand functional group chemistry dictated the kinetics of citrate desorption, while the guest ligand concentration played only a minor role. Thiolates and BSA were more efficient at ligand exchange than amine-containing chemicals, carboxylate-containing chemicals, and inorganic salts due to their higher binding energies with the AuNP surface. Amine-containing molecules overcoated rather than displaced the citrate layer via electrostatic interaction. Citrate exhibited low resistance to replacement at high surface coverages, but higher resistance at lower coverage, thus suggesting a transformation of the citrate-binding mode during desorption. High resistance to replacement in streamwater suggests that the role of surface-adsorbed citrate in nanomaterial fate and transport must be better understood.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a constantly developing analytical method providing not only high-sensitive quantitative but also qualitative information on an analyte. Thus, it is reasonable that it has been tested as a promising detection method in column separations. Although its implementation in analytical separations is not widespread, some surprising results, like enormous signal enhancement and demonstrations of single-molecule identifications, proved in only a few special examples, indicate the potential of the method. The high detection sensitivity and selectivity would be of paramount importance in trace analyses of biologically relevant molecules in complex matrices. However, the combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with column separation methods brings two principal issues. Interactions of analytes with metal substrates can cause deteriorations of separations and the detection can be affected by background electrolytes or elution agents. Thus, in principle, this review is on the experimental and methodological solutions to these problems. First, theoretical and practical aspects of Raman scattering, and excitation of surface plasmon in colloid suspensions of nanoparticles and on planar nanostructured substrates are briefly explained. Advances in experimental arrangements of on-line and at-line couplings with column liquid phase separation methods, including microfluidic devices, are described together with chosen analytical applications.

Abstract
Research at the interface of synthetic materials, biochemistry, and analytical techniques has enabled sensing platforms for applications across many research communities. Herein we review the materials used as affinity agents to create surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensors. Our scope includes those affinity agents (antibody, aptamer, small molecule, and polymer) that facilitate the intrinsic detection of targets relevant to biology, medicine, national security, environmental protection, and food safety. We begin with an overview of the analytical technique (SERS) and considerations for its application as a sensor. We subsequently describe four classes of affinity agents, giving a brief overview on affinity, production, attachment chemistry, and first uses with SERS. Additionally, we review the SERS features of the affinity agents, and the analytes detected by intrinsic SERS with that affinity agent class. We conclude with remarks on affinity agent selection for intrinsic SERS sensing platforms.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) inherits the rich chemical fingerprint information on Raman spectroscopy and gains sensitivity by plasmon-enhanced excitation and scattering. In particular, most Raman peaks have a narrow width suitable for multiplex analysis, and the measurements can be conveniently made under ambient and aqueous conditions. These merits make SERS a very promising technique for studying complex biological systems, and SERS has attracted increasing interest in biorelated analysis. However, there are still great challenges that need to be addressed until it can be widely accepted by the biorelated communities, answer interesting biological questions, and solve fatal clinical problems. SERS applications in bioanalysis involve the complex interactions of plasmonic nanomaterials with biological systems and their environments. The reliability becomes the key issue of bioanalytical SERS in order to extract meaningful information from SERS data. This review provides a comprehensive overview of bioanalytical SERS with the main focus on the reliability issue. We first introduce the mechanism of SERS to guide the design of reliable SERS experiments with high detection sensitivity. We then introduce the current understanding of the interaction of nanomaterials with biological systems, mainly living cells, to guide the design of functionalized SERS nanoparticles for target detection. We further introduce the current status of label-free (direct) and labeled (indirect) SERS detections, for systems from biomolecules, to pathogens, to living cells, and we discuss the potential interferences from experimental design, measurement conditions, and data analysis. In the end, we give an outlook of the key challenges in bioanalytical SERS, including reproducibility, sensitivity, and spatial and time resolution.
