Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technique is an effective analytical technique in which fingerprint information about analytes can be obtained, can provide detection limit performance at the single molecule level, and analyzes are performed in a single step without any intermediate steps. SERS technique offers additional benefits rather than other analytical techniques including high selectivity, ultrasensitive detection, uncomplicated protocols, in situ sampling, on-set capability and cost-effectiveness. As a result of the combination of developments in materials and nanotechnology science with the SERS analysis technique, this technique strengthens its use advantage day by day. The most important factor that limited the use of this technique was the fact that the solution containing the desired analyte(s) was dropped onto the SERS substrate and the same substrate could not be reused in subsequent analyses. To solve this problem, scientists have focused on developing reusable SERS substrates in recent years. In these studies, scientists basically used three SERS substrate cleaning applications (1) washing the SERS substrate with a suitable solvent that can elute the analyte from SERS surface after analysis, (2) cleaning the SERS substrate with catalytic degradation of analytes after analysis by modifying them with catalytic active materials and (3) Applying plasma cleaning procedure to SERS substrate after analysis and (4) applying adsorption and desorption procedure prior to SERS analysis. Herein, the aim of this review article is to evaluate the reusable SERS substrates-based methods based on their level of development and their potential to recycle. This review offers a coherent discussion on a wide range of sensing schemes employed in fabricating the SERS substrates. We utilized a critical approach in which elaborative examples were selected to highlight key shortcomings of various experimental configurations. In the same vein, there is a discussion of the advantages and limitations concerning the key instrumental advances and the expansion of the recent methods developed in this area.

Abstract
Cationic surfactants are widely used as corrosion inhibitors for industrial tubings and pipelines. They protect the surface of steel pipes through a film-forming mechanism, providing both anodic and cathodic inhibition. To improve the efficiency of the corrosion protection, it is essential to understand the interactions between the surfactants and metal surfaces. To achieve this, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can serve as a powerful tool due to its surface sensitivity and potential to detect trace amounts of analytes in complex media. In this contribution, we have investigated the behaviour of in situ prepared AgNPs in the presence of benzalkonium chloride as a model corrosion inhibitor using SERS coupled to visible spectroscopy and combined with light scattering methods. By combining these experimental methods, we were able to correlate the aggregation of silver particles with the concentration of added surfactant in the resulting mixture. Using this insight, we also established a SERS method for the detection of benzalkonium chloride traces in water. For this, we utilised the quenching of the SERS response of methylene blue by competitive adsorption of methylene blue and the surfactant on SERS active AgNPs. We believe that our approach can serve a variety of applications to improve the industrial water treatment. For example, the modelling of the interaction of different surfactants with SERS can be used for process intensification, and ultimately, to move towards the digital twinning of corrosion processes for more efficient corrosion inhibition. Furthermore, the ability to adapt our sensing protocol for on-line corrosion inhibitor monitoring allows a fast response to process changes, hence, enabling resource-efficient, continuous process control.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a powerful technique for the detection and analysis of biomolecules due to its high sensitivity and selectivity. In recent years, SERS-based sensors have received significant attention for the detection of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules, offering promising applications in fields such as medical diagnostics, forensic analysis, and environmental monitoring. This paper provides a concise overview of the principles, advancements, and potential of SERS-based sensors for DNA detection. First, the fundamental principles of SERS are introduced, highlighting its ability to enhance the Raman scattering signal by several orders of magnitude through the interaction between target molecules with metallic nanostructures. Then, the fabrication technologies of SERS substrates tailored for DNA detection are reviewed. The performances of SERS substrates previously reported for DNA detection are compared and analyzed in terms of the limit of detection (LOD) and enhancement factor (EF) in detail, with respect to the technical parameters of Raman spectroscopy (e.g., laser wavelength and power). Additionally, strategies for functionalizing the sensor surfaces with DNA-specific capture probes or aptamers are outlined. The collected data can be of help in selecting and optimizing the most suitable fabrication technology considering nucleotide sensing applications with Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the use of flexible substrates for label-free and in situ Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) applications. In this study, a flexible SERS substrate was prepared using self-assembled Au/Ti3C2 nanocomposites deposited on a cellulose (CS) paper. The Au/Ti3C2 nanocomposites uniformly wrapped around the cellulose fibers to provide a three-dimensional plasma SERS platform. The limit of detection (LOD) of CS/Au/Ti3C2 was as low as 10-9 M for 4-mercaptobenzoic acid(4-MBA) and crystal violet (CV), demonstrating good SERS sensitivity. CS/Au/Ti3C2 was used for in situ SERS detection of thiram on apple surfaces by simple swabbing, and a limit of detection of 0.05 ppm of thiram was achieved. The results showed that CS/Au/Ti3C2 is a flexible SERS substrate that can be used for the detection of thiram on apple surfaces. These results demonstrate that CS/Au/Ti3C2 can be used for the non-destructive, rapid and sensitive detection of pesticides on fruit surfaces.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) holds great promise in applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), catalysis, esthesia, and detection. This study aimed to build novel CNF-based SERS substrates through a facile synthetic method. Citrate-reduced gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were adsorbed on the cationized CNF surface due to electrostatic interactions, and uniform AuNPs@(2,3-epoxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride)EPTMAC@CNF flexible SERS substrates were prepared by a simple vacuum-assisted filtration method. The probe molecule methylene blue was chosen to assess the performance of the CNF-based SERS substrate with a sensitivity up to 10-9 M, superior signal reproducibility (relative standard deviation (RSD) = 4.67%), and storage stability (more than 30 days). Tensile strength tests indicated that the CNF-based films had good mechanical properties. In addition, CNF-based substrates can easily capture and visually identify microplastics in water. These results demonstrate the potential application of the flexible, self-assembled AuNPs@EPTMAC@CNF flexible SERS substrate for prompt and sensitive detection of trace substances.

Abstract
Due to its great practical importance, the detection and determination of many biomolecules in body fluids and other samples is carried out in a large number of laboratories around the world. One of the most promising analytical techniques now being widely introduced into medical analysis is surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. SERS is one of the most sensitive analytical methods, and in some cases, a good quality SERS spectrum dominated by the contribution of even a single molecule can be obtained. Highly sensitive SERS measurements can only be carried out on substrates generating a very high SERS enhancement factor and a low Raman spectral background, and so using of right nanomaterials is a key element in the success of SERS biochemical analysis. In this review article, we present progress that has been made in the preparation of nanomaterials used in SERS spectroscopy for detecting various kinds of biomolecules. We describe four groups of nanomaterials used in such measurements: nanoparticles of plasmonic metals and deposits of plasmonic nanoparticles on macroscopic substrates, nanocomposites containing plasmonic and non-plasmonic parts, nanostructured macroscopic plasmonic metals, and nanostructured macroscopic non-plasmonic materials covered by plasmonic films. We also describe selected SERS biochemical analyses that utilize the nanomaterials presented. We hope that this review will be useful for researchers starting work in this fascinating field of science and technology.

Abstract
We report a surface magnetic solid-phase extraction-surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SMSPE-SERS) method based on silver-nanoparticle-coated Fe3O4/chitosan (Fe3O4/CS@Ag) microspheres as the substrate, and this method integrates all steps from sample pretreatment to detection. Fe3O4/CS was synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method in which chitosan (CS) was used as a surface modifier and adsorbent. Fe3O4/CS@Ag microspheres exhibit both adsorption ability and SERS activity. Therefore, we used the SMSPE-SERS method to detect pesticide residues on fruit peel. The procedures of capturing, separating and enriching pesticides, as well as detection, are all integrated. In addition, the SERS substrate allows label-free detection of thiram pesticide in both fruit peel and apple juice. Owing to the uniform distribution of Ag NPs and the adsorption ability of CS, the thiram-detection sensitivity was sufficiently high to detect the lowest concentration of 1.2 ng/cm2, which was significantly lower than the maximum thiram residue limit (7 μg/cm2) in fruits. The method was comparable to high-performance liquid chromatography with recovery ranging from 86.60 to 109.69 %.

Abstract
Metabolome analysis has gained widespread application in disease diagnosis owing to its ability to provide comprehensive information, including disease phenotypes. In this study, we utilized 3D superstructures fabricated through evaporation-induced microprinting to analyze the metabolome for glaucoma diagnosis. 3D superstructures offer the following advantages: high hotspot density per unit volume of the structure extending from two to three dimensions, excellent signal repeatability due to the reproducibility and defect tolerance of 3D printing, and high thermal stability due to the PVP-enclosed capsule form. Leveraging the superior optical properties of the 3D superstructure, we aimed to classify patients with glaucoma. The signal obtained from the 3D superstructure was employed in a Deep Neural Network (DNN) classification model to accurately classify glaucoma patients. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were determined as 92.05% and 93.51%, respectively. Additionally, the fabrication of 3D superstructures can be performed at any stage, significantly reducing measurement time. Furthermore, their thermal stability allows for the analysis of smaller samples. One notable advantage of 3D superstructures is their versatility in accommodating different target materials. Consequently, they can be utilized for a wide range of metabolic analyses and disease diagnoses.

Abstract
For the long-time tracking of biological events, maintaining the bioactivity of the analytes during the detection process is essential. Here, we show a versatile surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) platform, termed a superwettable-omniphobic lubricous porous SERS (SOLP-SERS) substrate. The SOLP-SERS substrate could generate a three-dimensional liquid "hotspots" matrix with an ultra-long lifetime (tens of days) by confining tiny amounts of liquids within the gaps between nanoparticles. Then, the analytes are trapped in the uniform liquid "hotspots", whose bioactivity can be well maintained over a long period of time during SERS detection. Limits of detection down to femtomolar levels were achieved for various molecules. More importantly, SERS signals were uniform within the substrate and remained stable for more than 30 days. As a proof-of-concept experiment, the dynamic detection of the polymerization of Aβ peptides into amyloids was monitored by the SOLP-SERS substrate within 48 h. Moreover, the exosomes secreted by breast cancer cells, an important biomarker of cancer, were also measured. These results demonstrate that the SOLP-SERS platform will provide new insights into the development of real-time biochemical sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity.

Abstract
We developed a novel fabrication of flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to perform selective and sensitive determination of thiram residue in fruits and juices. Au nanostars (Au NSs) with multi-branching structure were self-assembled on aminated Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slides by electrostatic interaction. By measuring the Thiram's characteristic peak intensity at 1371 cm-1, the SERS method could distinguish Thiram from other pesticide residues. A good linear relationship between the peak intensity at 1371 cm-1 and thiram's concentration was established at the range from 0.01 ppm to 100 ppm and the Limit of detection is 0.0048 ppm. We directly used this SERS substrate to detect Thiram in apple juice. By standard addition method, recoveries varied in the range of 97.05% to 106.00% and the RSD were from 3.26% to 9.35%. The SERS substrate exhibited a good sensitivity, stability and selectively for the detection of Thiram in food samples, which can be spread as a common method for the detection of pesticides in food samples.

Abstract
A controlled and reliable nanostructured metallic substrate is a prerequisite for developing effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy techniques. In this study, we present a novel SERS platform fabricated using ultra-violet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) to produce large-area, ordered nanostructured arrays. By using UV-NIL imprinted patterns in resist, we were able to overcome the main limitations present in most common SERS platforms, such as nonuniformity, nonreproducibility, low throughput, and high cost. We simulated and fabricated C-shaped plasmonic nanostructures that exhibit high signal enhancement at an excitation wavelength of 785 nm. The substrates were fabricated by directly coating the imprinted resist with a thin gold layer. Avoiding the need to etch patterns in silicon significantly reduces the time and cost of fabrication and facilitates reproducibility. The functionality of the substrates for SERS detection was validated by measuring the SERS spectra of Rhodamine 6G.

Abstract
A clinical diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly achieved by estimating the serum levels of urea and creatinine (CR). Given the limitations of the conventional diagnostic assays, it is imperative to seek alternative, economical strategies for the detection of CKD-specific biomarkers with high specificity and selectivity. In this respect, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be regarded as an ideal choice. SERS signals can be greatly amplified by noble metal nanoparticles (e.g., gold nanoparticles (GNPs)) of numerous sizes, shapes, and configurations to help achieve ultra-sensitive single molecule-level detection at 10-15 M (up to 10 orders of magnitude more sensitive than fluorescence-based detection). The irregular geometry of GNPs with spike-like tips, dimers, and aggregates with small nanogaps (i.e., due to plasmon coupling such as Raman hot spots) play a pivotal role in enhancing the specificity and sensitivity of SERS. This review critically outlines the performance of SERS-based biosensors in the ultrasensitive detection of CKD biomarkers in various body fluids in terms of basic quality assurance parameters (e.g., limit of detection, figure of merit, enhancement factor, and stability of the biosensor). Moreover, the challenges and perspectives are described with respect to the expansion of such sensing techniques in practical clinical settings.

Abstract
A flexible nanocomposite composed of bacterial cellulose (BC) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed as a SERS substrate to determine thiram on apple surface by two collection methods namely "paste-and-peel" and "wiping". Enhancement factor of this SERS substrate for sensing thiram residues was determined to be 2.8 × 105. Compared to the benchtop Raman spectrometer, portable Raman spectroscopic device showed a lower sensitivity towards thiram residues with limit of detection at 0.98 ppm, satisfying maximum residue level of thiram on apple required by both Europe and America. A good linear correlation of SERS peak intensity at 1368 cm-1 and different concentrations of thiram (1-50 ppm) revealed a coefficient up to 0.99. This flexible BC-based SERS substrate has a great analytical performance in sensitivity, reproducibility and stability, and is suitable for rapid detection (<8 min) and quantitative analysis of pesticides on food surface.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is considered an efficient technique providing high sensitivity and fingerprint specificity for the detection of pesticide residues. Recent developments in SERS-based detection aim to create flexible plasmonic substrates that meet the requirements for non-destructive analysis of contaminants on curved surfaces by simply wrapping or wiping. Herein, we reported a flexible SERS substrate based on cellulose fiber (CF) modified with silver nanostructures (AgNS). A silver film was fabricated on the membrane surface with an in situ silver mirror reaction leading to the formation of a AgNS-CF substrate. Then, the substrate was decorated through in situ synthesis of raspberry-like silver nanostructures (rAgNS). The SERS performance of the prepared substrate was tested using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) as a Raman probe and compared with that of the CF-based plasmonic substrates. The sensitivity of the rAgNS/AgNS-CF substrate was evaluated by determining the detection limit of 4-MBA and an analytical enhancement factor, which were 10 nM and ~107, respectively. Further, the proposed flexible rAgNS/AgNS-CF substrate was applied for SERS detection of malathion. The detection limit for malathion reached 0.15 mg/L, which meets the requirements about its maximum residue level in food. Thus, the characteristics of the rAgNS/AgNS-CF substrate demonstrate the potential of its application as a label-free and ready-to-use sensing platform for the SERS detection of trace hazardous substances.

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

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a very promising tool for the direct detection of biomarkers for the diagnosis of i.e., cancer and pathogens. Yet, current SERS strategies are hampered by non-specific interactions with co-existing substances in the biological matrices and the difficulties of obtaining molecular fingerprint information from the complex vibrational spectrum. Raman signal enhancement is necessary, along with convenient surface modification and machine-based learning to address the former issues. This review aims to describe recent advances and prospects in SERS-based approaches for cancer and pathogens diagnosis. First, direct SERS strategies for key biomarker sensing, including the use of substrates such as plasmonic, semiconductor structures, and 3D order nanostructures for signal enhancement will be discussed. Secondly, we will illustrate recent advances for indirect diagnosis using active nanomaterials, Raman reporters, and specific capture elements as SERS tags. Thirdly, critical challenges for translating the potential of the SERS sensing techniques into clinical applications via machine learning and portable instrumentation will be described. The unique nature and integrated sensing capabilities of SERS provide great promise for early cancer diagnosis or fast pathogens detection, reducing sanitary costs but most importantly allowing disease prevention and decreasing mortality rates.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) arrays of gold nanoparticles that can freely float in water are promising materials for solution-based plasmonic applications like sensing. To be effective sensors, it is critical to control the interparticle gap distance and thus the plasmonic properties of the 2D arrays. Here, we demonstrate excellent control over the interparticle gap distance in a family of freely floating gold nanoparticle-embedded peptoid nanosheets. Nanosheets are made via monolayer assembly and collapse at the oil-water interface, allowing for fine control over the solution nanoparticle concentration during assembly. We used surface pressure measurements to monitor the assembly of the peptoid, nanoparticle, and combined system at the oil-water interface to determine a workable range of nanosheet assembly conditions suitable for controlling the interparticle gap distances within the nanosheets. These measurements revealed that the extent of nanoparticle adsorption to the peptoid monolayer can be tuned by varying the bulk nanoparticle concentration, but the ability for the monolayer to collapse into nanosheets is compromised at high nanoparticle concentrations. Peptoid nanosheets were synthesized with varying bulk nanoparticle concentrations and analyzed using light microscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. Based on the spectral shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance peaks for the nanoparticles in the nanosheets relative to those well dispersed in toluene, we estimate that we can access interparticle gap distances within the nanosheet interior between 2.9 ± 0.5 and 9 ± 2 nm. Our results suggest that the minimum interparticle distance achievable by this method is limited by the nanoparticle ligand length, and so has the potential to be further tuned by varying the ligand chemical structure. The ability to quantitatively control and monitor the assembly conditions by this method provide an opportunity to readily tune the optoelectronic properties of this new class of 2D nanomaterial, making it a promising platform for plasmonic-based sensing applications.

Abstract
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical technique for the detection of small analytes with great potential for medical diagnostic applications. Its high sensitivity and excellent molecular specificity, which stems from the unique fingerprint of molecular species, have been applied toward the detection of different types of cancer. The noninvasive and rapid detection offered by SERS highlights its applicability for point-of-care (PoC) deployment for cancer diagnosis, screening, and staging, as well as for predicting tumor recurrence and treatment monitoring. This review provides an overview of the progress in label-free (direct) SERS-based chemical detection for cancer diagnosis with the main focus on the advances in the design and preparation of SERS substrates on the basis of metal nanoparticle structures formed via bottom-up strategies. It begins by introducing a synopsis of the working principles of SERS, including key chemometric approaches for spectroscopic data analysis. Then it introduces the advances of label-free sensing with SERS in cancer diagnosis using biofluids (blood, urine, saliva, sweat) and breath as the detection media. In the end, an outlook of the advances and challenges in cancer diagnosis via SERS is provided.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been identified as a fundamental surface-sensitive technique that boosts Raman scattering by adsorbing target molecules on specific surfaces. The application of SERS highly relies on the development of smart SERS substrates, and thus the fabrication of SERS substrates has been constantly improved. Herein, we investigate the impacts of different substrates on SERS technology including plasmonic metal nanoparticles, semiconductors, and hybrid systems in quantitative food safety and quality analysis. We first discuss the fundamentals, substrate designs, and applications of SERS. We then provide a critical review of the recent progress of SERS in its usage for screening and detecting chemical and biological contaminants including fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, hazardous colorants, and biohazards in food samples to assess the analytical capabilities of this technology. Finally, we investigate the future trends and provide practical techniques that could be used to fulfill the requirements for rapid analysis of food at a low cost.

Abstract
In this work, quasi-spherical, small-sized, citrate-stabilized, core-shell (CS)-structured Au5.5@Agm nanoparticles (NPs) with Ag shells of controlled thicknesses (m = 0, 1.25, 3.25, and 5.25) were successfully synthesized by using Au NPs with sizes of 5.5 nm as seeds. The as-prepared Au@Ag NPs after the phase transfer process were further used for the fabrication of high-quality large-area monolayer films of hexagonal close-packed Au@Ag nanoparticles (LAMF-HCP-Au@Ag NPs) by our improved self-assembly at the interface of toluene-DEG containing a proper amount of water (10% v/v). Moreover, after transferring the as-prepared LAMF-HCP-Au@Ag NPs onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates (LAMF-HCP-Au@Ag NP@PDMS substrates), the resulting LAMF-HCP-Au@Ag NP@PDMS substrates can exhibit uniformity in the intensity of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering signals. Furthermore, taking LAMF-HCP-Au5.5@Ag5.25 NP@PDMS substrates as an example, they can achieve quantitative detection with high sensitivity for crystal violet (CV) and 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) in the range from 10-12 to 10-7 M and from 10-13 to 10-7 M, respectively. Also, their limit of detection (LOD) for CV and 4-ATP are 10-12 and 10-13 M, respectively. Especially, the LOD for CV can also be as low as 10-13 M by extending the immersing time.

Abstract
Future precision medicine will be undoubtedly sustained by the detection of validated biomarkers that enable a precise classification of patients based on their predicted disease risk, prognosis, and response to a specific treatment. Up to now, genomics, transcriptomics, and immunohistochemistry have been the main clinically amenable tools at hand for identifying key diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers. However, other molecular strategies, including metabolomics, are still in their infancy and require the development of new biomarker detection technologies, toward routine implementation into clinical diagnosis. In this context, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has been recognized as a promising technology for clinical monitoring thanks to its high sensitivity and label-free operation, which should help accelerate the discovery of biomarkers and their corresponding screening in a simpler, faster, and less-expensive manner. Many studies have demonstrated the excellent performance of SERS in biomedical applications. However, such studies have also revealed several variables that should be considered for accurate SERS monitoring, in particular, when the signal is collected from biological sources (tissues, cells or biofluids). This Perspective is aimed at piecing together the puzzle of SERS in biomarker monitoring, with a view on future challenges and implications. We address the most relevant requirements of plasmonic substrates for biomedical applications, as well as the implementation of tools from artificial intelligence or biotechnology to guide the development of highly versatile sensors.

Abstract
Metabolites are important biomarkers in human body fluids, conveying direct information of cellular activities and physical conditions. Metabolite detection has long been a research hotspot in the field of biology and medicine. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), based on the molecular “fingerprint” of Raman spectrum and the enormous signal enhancement (down to a single-molecule level) by plasmonic nanomaterials, has proven to be a novel and powerful tool for metabolite detection. SERS provides favorable properties such as ultra-sensitive, label-free, rapid, specific, and non-destructive detection processes. In this review, we summarized the progress in recent 10 years on SERS-based sensing of endogenous metabolites at the cellular level, in tissues, and in biofluids, as well as drug metabolites in biofluids. We made detailed discussions on the challenges and optimization methods of SERS technique in metabolite detection. The combination of SERS with modern biomedical technology were also anticipated.

Abstract
Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as both a modifier and reductant to in situ deposit silver nanoparticles (denoted Ag NPs) on the surface of silica nanospheres (nanosilica or nano-SiO2), affording Ag-decorated nanosilica (denoted SiO2@Ag). The as-obtained SiO2@Ag composite can form silver nanoparticle-decorated silica nanosphere arrays (denoted SiO2@Ag arrays) via evaporation-induced self-assembly. The as-prepared SiO2@Ag composite and SiO2@Ag array were used as the SERS substrates to measure the Raman signals of the dilute solutions of rhodamine 6G (denoted R6G), an organic dye that is a potential pollutant to the environment. The findings indicate that the as-prepared SiO2@Ag composite and SiO2@Ag array as potential SERS substrates simultaneously exhibit a high degree of metal coverage and small size of Ag NPs as well as good stability and abundant "hot spots", which contributes to their desired Raman enhancement capacities. For the detection of trace R6G, they provide a limit of detection of as low as 10-9-10-11 M as well as good reproducibility, showing promising potential for monitoring chemical and biological molecules.

Abstract
Development of facile routes for the fabrication of surface enhanced Raman substrates (SERS) along with optimal conditions for a high enhancement factor are significant from an application perspective of SERS. Despite steady efforts to establish high SERS signals, cost effectiveness without compromising the enhanced and robust Raman signal remains a major challenge. To address this aspect, herein, we try to tune the topographical aspects of Si pyramidal textures in pursuit of efficient SERS substrates. These pyramidal surfaces are deployed as a pre-template for adopting a SERS substrate using a cost-effective wet chemical etching method. By controlling the etching time, various topographical parameters namely base size, height, pyramidal number density and uniformity of pyramidal textures are modulated. To make all the surfaces SERS active, a Au (50%)-Ag (50%) alloy nanolayer is post-deposited over them. Furthermore, SERS behavior of all the surfaces is investigated by using Rh6G dye as an analyte molecule. In addition to the high density of hot spots in terms of pyramidal number density, base size and uniformity shows a strong correlation in deciding the substantial SERS response. Furthermore, we find a high enhancement factor (∼1.42 × 108) for the substrate consisting of dense, small and uniformly sized pyramids. Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations done on similar structures corroborate our results. Additionally, universal applicability of the proposed substrate is also verified by detecting methylene blue and methyl parathion analyte molecules. These substrates are much cheaper (∼5 USD for 1 × 1 cm2) in comparison with commercially available Klarite SERS substrates (∼100 USD for 2 × 2 mm2). We believe this work provides a critical insight into the design of potential SERS substrates using a significantly cost-effective wet chemical etching process.

Abstract
Novel concepts for developing a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on biocompatible materials offer great potential in versatile applications, including wearable and in vivo monitoring of target analytes. Here, we report a highly sensitive SERS sensor consisting of a biocompatible silk fibroin substrate with a high porosity and gold nanocracks. Our silk-based SERS detection takes advantage of strong local field enhancement in the nanoscale crack regions induced by gold nanostructures evaporated on a porous silk substrate. The SERS performance of the proposed sensor is evaluated in terms of detection limit, sensitivity, and linearity. Compared to the performance of a counterpart SERS sensor with a thin gold film, SERS results using 4-ABT analytes present that a significant improvement in the detection limit and sensitivity by more than 4 times, and a good linearity and a wide dynamic range is achieved. More interestingly, overlap is integral, and a quantitative measure of the local field enhancement is highly consistent with the experimental SERS enhancement.

Abstract
With the fast growth of bioanalytical surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), analytical methods have had to adapt to the complex nature of biological samples. In particular, interfering species and protein adsorption onto the SERS substrates have been addressed by sample preparation steps, such as precipitation or extraction, and by smart SERS substrate functionalisation. These additional handling steps however result in irreversible sample alteration, which in turn prevents sample monitoring over time. A new methodology, that enables near real-time, non-invasive and non-destructive SERS monitoring of biological samples, is therefore proposed. It combines solid SERS substrates, benefitting from liquid immersion resistance for extended periods of time, with an original protein filtering device and an on-field detection by means of a handheld Raman analyser. The protein removal device aims at avoiding protein surface fouling on the SERS substrate. It consists of an ultracentrifugation membrane fixed under a cell culture insert for multi-well plates. The inside of the insert is dedicated to containing biological samples. The solid SERS substrate and a simple medium, without any protein, are placed under the insert. By carefully selecting the membrane molecular weight cutoff, selective diffusion of small analytes through the device could be achieved whereas larger proteins were retained inside the insert. Non-invasive SERS spectral acquisition was then carried out through the bottom of the multi-well plate. The diffusion of a SERS probe, 2-mercaptopyridine, and of a neurotransmitter having a less intense SERS signal, serotonin, were first successfully monitored with the device. Then, the latter was applied to distinguish between subclones of cancerous cells through differences in metabolite production. This promising methodology showed a high level of versatility, together with the capability to reduce cellular stress and contamination hazards.

Abstract
In this study, a novel analytical approach is proposed for the identification of pesticide residues in tea by combining surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with a deep learning method one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN). First, a handheld Raman spectrometer was used for rapid on-site collection of SERS spectra. Second, the collected SERS spectra were augmented by a data augmentation strategy. Third, based on the augmented SERS spectra, the 1D CNN models were established on the cloud server, and then the trained 1D CNN models were used for subsequent pesticide residue identification analysis. In addition, to investigate the identification performance of the 1D CNN method, four conventional identification methods, including partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), k-nearest neighbour (k-NN), support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), were also developed on the basis of the augmented SERS spectra and applied for pesticide residue identification analysis. The comparative studies show that the 1D CNN method possesses better identification accuracy, stability and sensitivity than the other four conventional identification methods. In conclusion, the proposed novel analytical approach that exploits the advantages of SERS and a deep learning method (1D CNN) is a promising method for rapid on-site identification of pesticide residues in tea.

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

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool for vibrational spectroscopy as it provides several orders of magnitude higher sensitivity than inherently weak spontaneous Raman scattering by exciting localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on metal substrates. However, SERS can be unreliable for biomedical use since it sacrifices reproducibility, uniformity, biocompatibility, and durability due to its strong dependence on “hot spots”, large photothermal heat generation, and easy oxidization. Here, we demonstrate the design, fabrication, and use of a metal-free (i.e., LSPR-free), topologically tailored nanostructure composed of porous carbon nanowires in an array as a SERS substrate to overcome all these problems. Specifically, it offers not only high signal enhancement (~106) due to its strong broadband charge-transfer resonance, but also extraordinarily high reproducibility due to the absence of hot spots, high durability due to no oxidization, and high compatibility to biomolecules due to its fluorescence quenching capability. SERS can be unreliable for biomedical use. The authors demonstrate a metal-free nanostructure composed of porous carbon nanowires in an array as a SERS substrate. It offers 106 signal enhancement due to strong broadband charge-transfer resonance and substrate-to-substrate, spot-to-spot and time-to-time consistency in the SERS spectrum.

Abstract
With the globalization of food and its complicated networking system, a wide range of food contaminants is introduced into the food system which may happen accidentally, intentionally, or naturally. This situation has made food safety a critical global concern nowadays and urged the need for effective technologies capable of dealing with the detection of food contaminants as efficiently as possible. Hence, Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been taken as one of the primary choices for this case, due to its extremely high sensitivity, rapidity, and fingerprinting interpretation capabilities which account for its competency to detect a molecule up to a single level. Here in this paper, we present a comprehensive review of various SERS-based novel approaches applied for direct and indirect detection of single and multiple chemical and microbial contaminants in food, food products as well as water. The aim of this paper is to arouse the interest of researchers by addressing recent SERS-based, novel achievements and developments related to the investigation of hazardous chemical and microbial contaminants in edible foods and water. The target chemical and microbial contaminants are antibiotics, pesticides, food adulterants, Toxins, bacteria, and viruses. In this paper, different aspects of SERS-based reports have been addressed including synthesis and use of various forms of SERS nanostructures for the detection of a specific analyte, the coupling of SERS with other analytical tools such as chromatographic methods, combining analyte capture and recognition strategies such as molecularly imprinted polymers and aptasensor as well as using multivariate statistical analyses such as principal component analysis (PCA)to distinguish between results. In addition, we also report some strengths and limitations of SERS as well as future viewpoints concerning its application in food safety.

Abstract
The production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by autotrophic fermentation of cyanobacteria has received increasing interest in the light of carbon emission reducing process strategies. Biotechnological approaches are in development to optimize the yield of PHB, including adapted cultivation media, characterized by a limitation of key nutrients: cyanobacteria accumulate PHB as energy storage molecules under limited growth conditions. Since there is an increasing demand for fast, simple and reliable analytics, we report the establishment of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as a suitable monitoring tool for up scaled PHB production processes. Both, pure Ag-colloids mixed with bacterial culture, and in situ prepared colloids (Ag-Synechocystis), generated on the cell surface directly, were successfully applied and evaluated for this purpose. SERS measurements with in situ prepared Ag-colloids improved the reproducibility of Raman signals from 54.8% to 93.9%. The measurement time could be reduced significantly, completing our secondary goal. The quality of classically and in situ prepared Ag-colloids was monitored by zeta potential measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. For data interpretation and statistical model-building an in house written code in the open source software RStudio was implemented. It was applied for the differentiation of PHB producers at the cellular level, revealing heterogeneities within sample groups regarding the PHB amount accumulated. The results obtained using the statistical model were validated as well and were complementary to the reference HPLC analysis. Therefore, a fast and reliable identification in situ SERS tool for the selection of the most promising cyanobacterial PHB production was established.

Abstract
Water is a matter of vital importance for all developed countries due to the strong impact on human health and aquatic, wetlands and terrestrial environments. Therefore, the monitoring of water quality is of tremendous importance. The enormous advantages that Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy offers, such as fingerprint recognition, multiplex capabilities, high sensitivity, and selectivity or non-destructive testing, make this analytical tool very attractive for this purpose. This minireview aims to provide a summary of current approaches for the implementation of SERS sensors in monitoring organic and inorganic pollutants in water. In addition, we briefly highlight current challenges and provide an outlook for the application of SERS in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
We present a method for Raman examination using a silver-nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) coated D-shaped fiber (DSF) internally excited via an in-fiber azimuthally polarized beam (APB) generated by an acoustically induced fiber grating. Simulation results show that an electric-field intensity enhancement factor can be effectively improved under APB excitation compared with the linear polarization beam (LPB) excitation, because the strong gap-mode is uniformly generated between two adjacent Ag NPs on the surface of the DSF planar side. Experimental results show that the Raman signal intensity of the methylene blue (MB) detected by DSF in the case of APB excitation is ∼4.5 times as strong as that of LPB excitation, and the Raman detection sensitivity is ∼10-9 M. The time stability of this method is also tested to be guaranteed.

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.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensors utilize the electromagnetic-field enhancement of plasmonic substrates with the chemical specificity of vibrational Raman spectroscopy to identify trace amounts of a wide variety of different target analytes while being minimally affected by photobleaching. However, despite many advantageous features of this method, SERS sensors, particularly for detecting hazardous chemicals, suffer from several limitations such as requirement of gigantic signal enhancement that is often poorly controllable, subtle change and degradation of the SERS substrate, consecutive fluctuation of the signal, the lack of reliable receptors for capturing targets of interest and the absence of general principles for detecting various chemicals in different phases and matrices. To overcome these limitations and for SERS sensors to find practical use, one must (1) acknowledge the characteristics of the matrices of target systems, (2) finely engineer and tune the receptors of the SERS sensor to properly extract the target analyte from the phase, and (3) implement additional mechanistic modifications to enhance the plasmonic signal. This minireview underlines the difficulties associated with different phases and a wide range of target analytes, and introduces the practical measures undertaken to overcome the respective difficulties in SERS-based detection of hazardous chemicals.

Abstract
Narrower gaps between metal nanoparticles (so-called "hot spots") in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates contribute to stronger electromagnetic (EM) enhancement; however, the accompanying steric effect hinders analyte molecules entering hot spots to access the benefit. To comprehensively understand integrated contributions of the gap size and molecule number accommodated in hot spots and then optimize design of SERS substrates, the thermal shrinking method was employed to manipulate hot spots and the "hottest zone" was defined to evaluate the integrated contributions to SERS intensity of the two factors. In the conventional shrink-adsorption mode, the contributions of the molecule number and gap size are competitive when the gap width is comparable with the target molecule size, which leads to oscillating behavior of SERS intensity versus gap size, and it is analyte molecule size dependent. This result suggests that engineering hot spots should be target molecule directed to achieve ultrasensitive detection. In the proposed adsorption-shrink mode, the contributions of the molecule number and gap size are synergistic, which makes the detection ability of the adsorption-shrink mode attains a single-molecule (SM) level. Excellent performance of the adsorption-shrink SERS strategy benefits detection of trace level pollutants in complex environments. Detection ranges for contaminants with different metal affinity, such as thiram, malachite green (MG), and formaldehyde, are as low as parts per billion, even down to parts per trillion.
