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
The detection of harmful chemicals in the environment and for food safety is a crucial requirement. While traditional techniques such as GC-MS and HPLC provide high sensitivity, they are expensive, time-consuming, and require skilled labor. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical tool for detecting ultralow concentrations of chemical compounds and biomolecules. We present a reproducible method for producing Ag nanoparticles that can be used to create highly sensitive SERS substrates. A microfluidic device was employed to confine the precursor reagents within the droplets, resulting in Ag nanoparticles of uniform shape and size. The study investigates the effects of various synthesis conditions on the size distribution, dispersity, and localized surface plasmon resonance wavelength of the Ag nanoparticles. To create the SERS substrate, the as-synthesized Ag nanoparticles were assembled into a monolayer on a liquid/air interface and deposited onto a porous silicon array prepared through a metal-assisted chemical etching approach. By using the developed microfluidic device, enhancement factors of the Raman signal for rhodamine B (at 10-9 M) and melamine (at 10-7 M) of 8.59 × 106 and 8.21 × 103, respectively, were obtained. The detection limits for rhodamine B and melamine were estimated to be 1.94 × 10-10 M and 2.8 × 10-8 M with relative standard deviation values of 3.4% and 4.6%, respectively. The developed SERS substrate exhibits exceptional analytical performance and has the potential to be a valuable analytical tool for monitoring environmental contaminants.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated a 300 nm-sized silver-coated silica (SiO2@Ag) SERS substrate. Based on SiO2@Ag, we designed SiO2@Ag@molecular imprinted polymers (SiO2@Ag@MIPs) to realize selectively detection of amoxicillin by coating a molecular imprinted layer averagely thinner than 10 nm on SiO2@Ag. The as-prepared SERS-active substrate demonstrates excellent enhancement for amoxicillin as well as the enhancement factors were 1.63 × 106 of SiO2@Ag@MIPs and 2.97 × 105 of SiO2@Ag, respectively. The SiO2@Ag@MIPs core-shell hybrids as SERS substrates and the minimum detectable concentration of amoxicillin was as low as 2.7 × 10-9 M, and the detection limit of SiO2@Ag was 2.7 × 10-7 M. The linear relationship between intensities of characteristic peaks and concentrations of amoxicillin was established. Both SiO2@Ag and SiO2@Ag@MIPs substrates were highly sensitive and could achieve qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of amoxicillin in aqueous media with good linear correlations. Based on the above, SiO2@Ag@MIPs will be conducive to detecting actual samples and expanding the practical application.

Abstract
This review paper presents the recent developments in spectroelectrochemical (SEC) technologies. The coupling of spectroscopy and electrochemistry enables SEC to do a detailed and comprehensive study of the electron transfer kinetics and vibrational spectroscopic fingerprint of analytes during electrochemical reactions. Though SEC is a promising technique, the usage of SEC techniques is still limited. Therefore, enough publicity for SEC is required, considering the promising potential in the analysis fields. Unlike previously published review papers primarily focused on the relatively frequently used SEC techniques (ultraviolet-visible SEC and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy SEC), the two not-frequently used but promising techniques (nuclear magnetic resonance SEC and dark-field microscopy SEC) have also been studied in detail. This review paper not only focuses on the applications of each SEC method but also details their primary working mechanism. In short, this paper summarizes each SEC technique's working principles, current applications, challenges encountered, and future development directions. In addition, each SEC technique's applicative research directions are detailed and compared in this review work. Furthermore, integrating SEC techniques into microfluidics is becoming a trend in minimized analysis devices. Therefore, the usage of SEC techniques in microfluidics is discussed.

Abstract
The use of Chinese herbs containing aristolochic acid can induce the exchange of adenine and thymine in gene mutations and even cause liver cancer. To eliminate the harm of aristolochic acids (AAs) to humans, a rapid and robust method of AAs screening is a prerequisite. In this work, a facile and robust Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method was used for the qualitative and quantitative detection of AAs in Chinese medicinal herbal preparations based on the mandelic acid modified Ag nanoparticles SERS substrate. Qualitative and quantitative SERS detection of Aristolochic acid I (AAI) was achieved with a good linear relationship ranging from 0.2 - 120.0 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 μM. The proposed method demonstrates a refined strategy for sensitivity analysis of AAs with the advantages of easy operation, time-saving, high sensitivity, and molecular specificity, making it a preferred platform for the screening of AAI in regular inspections of herbal products and regulatory supervision of the supply chain.

Hydrophobic expanded graphite-covered support to construct flexible and stable SERS substrate for sensitive determination by paste-sampling from irregular surfaces. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising technique for trace determination. More and more attention is focused on hybrid SERS substrates, which coupled with noble metal nanoparticles and carbon-based materials. Herein, expanded graphite (EG) is used to prepare EG-covered support by ultrasonic washing and filtration. Such support is flexible and can be cut into any shape. And the contact angle (θe) for Au nanorods (Au NRs) sol on the EG-covered support was 108.2° and the hydrophobic surface is helpful for Au NRs to construct 'hot spots' during evaporation. The limits of detection (LOD) for crystal violet (CV), thiram, malachite green (MG) and methylene blue (MB) were as low as 1 ppb, 50 ppb, 1 ppb and 1 ppb, respectively. Moreover, a fast and convenient 'paste-sampling' method could be employed for trace contaminants on real samples, because EG-based Au NRs substrate is of flexibility and porosity. Thus, CV residue on shrimp could be determined lower than 1 ppb and thiram residue on grapes could be identified lower than 50 ppb. In addition to high sensitivity, the stability of EG-based Au NRs substrate is also very good. Even after acid/alkali pretreatment (pH = 4∼10) or 30 min of thermal treatment (T = 20∼100 °C), the enhancement of the substrate remained stable. What's more, the substrate could be stored as long as 30 days. The highly stable, sensitive, cost-effective and easy-to-produce EG-based Au NRs substrates exhibit a great potential to promote application of SERS for routine analysis.

Abstract
Owing to high surface sensitivity, gold nanorods (AuNRs) are widely used to construct surface-based nanoplasmonic biosensing platforms for label-free molecular diagnostic applications. A key fabrication step involves controlling AuNR deposition onto the target surface, which requires maximizing surface density while minimizing inter-particle aggregation, and is often achieved by surface functionalization with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) prior to AuNR deposition. To date, existing studies have typically used a fixed concentration of SAM-forming organic molecules (0.2-10% v/v) while understanding how SAM density affects AuNR deposition and resulting sensing performance would be advantageous. Herein, we systematically investigated how controlling the (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) concentration (1-30% v/v) during SAM preparation affects the fabrication of AuNR-coated glass surfaces for nanoplasmonic biosensing applications. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible spectroscopy, we identified an intermediate APTES concentration range that yielded the highest density of individually deposited AuNRs with minimal aggregation and also the highest peak wavelength in aqueous solution. Bulk refractive index sensitivity measurements indicated that the AuNR configuration had a strong effect on the sensing performance, and the corresponding wavelength-shift responses ranged from 125 to 290 nm per refractive index unit (RIU) depending on the APTES concentration used. Biosensing experiments involving protein detection and antigen-antibody interactions further demonstrated the high surface sensitivity of the optimized AuNR platform, especially in the low protein concentration range where the measurement shift was ~8-fold higher than that obtained with previously used sensing platforms.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is widely used as a powerful analytical technology in cutting-edge areas such as food safety, biology, chemistry, and medical diagnosis, providing ultra-fast, ultra-sensitive, nondestructive characterization and achieving ultra-high detection sensitivity even down to the single-molecule level. Development of Raman spectroscopy is strongly dependent on high-performance SERS substrates, which have long evolved from the early days of rough metal electrodes to periodic nanopatterned arrays building on solid supporting substrates. For rigid SERS substrates, however, their applications are restricted by sophisticated pretreatments for detecting solid samples with non-planar surfaces. It is therefore essential to reassert the principles in constructing flexible SERS substrates. Herein, we comprehensively review the state-of-the-art in understanding, preparing and using flexible SERS. The basic mechanisms behind the flexible SERS are briefly outlined, typical design strategies are highlighted and diversified selection of materials in preparing flexible SERS substrates are reviewed. Then the recent achievements of various interdisciplinary applications based on flexible SERS substrates are summarized. Finally, the challenges and perspectives for future evolution of flexible SERS and their applications are demonstrated. We propose new research directions focused on stimulating the real potential of SERS as an advanced analytical technique for commercialization.

Abstract
Fish is one of the highly demanded aquatic products, and its quality and safety play a pivotal role in daily diet. However, the possible hazardous substance in perishable fish both in pre- and postharvest periods may decrease their values and pose a threat to public health. Laborious and expensive traditional methods drive the need of developing effective tools for detecting fish quality and safety properties in a rapid, nondestructive, and effective manner. Recent advances in Raman spectroscopy (RS) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) have shown enormous potential in various aspects, which largely boost their applications in fish quality and safety evaluation. They have incomparable merits such as providing molecule fingerprint information and allowing for rapid, sensitive, and noninvasive detection with simple sample preparation. This review provides a comprehensive overview focusing on the applications of RS and SERS for fish quality assessment and safety inspection, highlighting the hazardous substance and illegal behavior both in preharvest (veterinary drug residues and environmental pollutants) and postharvest (freshness and illegal behavior) particularly. Moreover, challenges and prospects are also proposed to facilitate the vigorous development of RS and SERS. This review is aimed to emphasize potential opportunities for applying RS and SERS as promising techniques for routine food quality and safety detection. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: With these applications, it can be clearly indicated that RS and SERS are promising and powerful in fish quality and safety surveillance, thereby reducing the occurrence of commercial fraud and food safety issues. More efforts still should be concentrated on exploiting the high-performance Raman instruments, establishing a universal Raman database, developing reproducible SERS substrates and combing RS with other versatile spectral techniques to promote these technologies from laboratory to practice. It is hoped that this review should arouse more research interests in RS and SERS technologies for fish quality and safety surveillance, as well as provide more insights to make a breakthrough.

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
DBP, one of the phthalic acid esters (PAEs), is known as an endocrine disruptor and is toxic to humans in abnormal concentrations. Here, a high-density and ordered SERS substrate based on the self-assembly of triangular Ag nanoplate (TAgNP) arrays is developed for DBP detection. Benefiting from the ordered arrangement and sharp corners of TAgNPS, the arrays can provide sufficient and uniform hotspots for reproducible and highly active SERS effects. Using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a reporter molecule, the SERS enhancement factor (EF) of the TAgNP arrays was found to be as high as 1.2 × 107 and the relative standard deviation was 6.56%. As a trial for practical applications, the TAgNP array substrates were used for the detection of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in edible oils. In this assay, edible oil samples were added to hexane as an organic phase for the formation of the TAgNP arrays, which caused DBP to be loaded at hotspots. DBP in edible oils could be identified at concentrations as low as 10-7 M. This SERS substrate based on the TAgNP arrays has great potential applications in the high sensitivity and reproducible detection of contaminants in food.

López-Lorente ÁI. Recent developments on gold nanostructures for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy: Particle shape, substrates and analytical applications. A review. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1168:338474. [PMID: 34051992 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.338474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful technique for sensitive analysis which is attracting great attention in the last decades. In this review, different gold nanostructures that have been exploited for SERS analysis are described, ranging from gold nanospheres to anisotropic and complex-shaped gold nanostructures, in which the presence of high aspect ratio features leads to an increment of the electromagnetic field at the surface of the nanomaterial, resulting in enhanced SERS response. In addition to the shape of the nanostructure, the interparticle nanogaps play a prominent role in the SERS efficiency. In this sense, different approaches such as nanoaggregation and formation of assemblies and ordered structures lead to the creation of the so-called hot spots. SERS measurements may be performed in solution, while usually the nanostructures are deposited building a SERS substrate, which can be created via attachment of chemically prepared gold nanostructures, as well as via top-down physical methods. Among the classical supports for creating the SERS substrates, in the last years there is a trend towards the development of flexible supports based on polymers as well as paper. Finally, some recent applications of gold nanostructures-based SERS substrates within the analytical field are discussed to spotlight the potential of this technique in real-world analytical scenarios.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with fast and intuitive property has been extensively utilized in the field of food safety. Here, we demonstrated a novel noble metal-polymer hybrid film as a SERS substrate for food fungicide analysis. Benefiting from its transparency and flexibility, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) film was chosen as a versatile supporting matrix to grow gold nanobushes (Au NBs) through a seed-mediated process. The as-prepared AuNB-PDMS hybrid film performed satisfactorily in testing 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) and exhibited an enhancement factor (EF) of 2.56 × 106. Moreover, the high sensitivity and elastic properties make the hybrid film a promising substrate in practical detection. Hence, the in situ sensing of TBZ, carbaryl, and their mixture was finally realized using the developed hybrid film, which exhibited higher sensitivity than that obtained by the swabbing method. This high-performance SERS substrate based on the flexible and transparent AuNB-PDMS hybrid film has great potential applications in the fast in situ monitoring of biochemical molecules.

Abstract
Food safety issue remains a challenge worldwide. Common substances in food can pose a great threat to human health including but not limited to food borne-pathogens, heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides, herbicides, veterinary drugs, allergens and illegal additives. To develop rapid, low-cost, portable and on-site detection methods of those contaminants and allergens to ensure food safety, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of versatile shapes and morphologies such as nanorods, nanoclusters, nanoflowers, nanostars, nanocages, nanobipyramids and nanowires have been employed as probes because they possess extraordinary properties that can be used to design biosensors enabling detecting various contaminants and allergens. By means of surface modification, AuNPs can directly or indirectly sense specific targets based on different mechanisms, such as hydrogen bonds, nucleic acid hybridization, aptamer-target binding, antigen-antibody recognition, enzyme inhibition, and enzyme-mimicking activity. AuNPs can induce a distinct color change from red to blue when they transform from a monodispersed state to an aggregated state in liquid solution, which can be observed by naked eyes. If Raman molecules are functionalized on AuNPs, their aggregation will alter the interparticle distance and induce the surface-enhanced Raman scattering that can be employed for highly sensitive detection. Ultra-small AuNPs such as Au nanoclusters also feature in fluorescence that enable a fluorescent readout. The formats of AuNPs for food safety detection in real world range broadly including but not limited to films, fibers, liquid solutions, tapes, chips and lateral flow strips. In this review, recent applications of AuNPs-based biosensors for food safety detection will be discussed, mainly in the aspect of different contaminants and allergens encountered in food samples.

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

Abstract
A portable and highly reproducible lab-on-capillary surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform was developed using a specially designed homemade device for rapid on-site SERS measurement. In particular, this platform was composed of a capillary with a tiny orifice, which allows an effective and lossless sample extraction, resulting in high SERS performance. The capillary-based plasmonic substrate was prepared by compactly assembling Au@Ag core-shell nanorods (NRs) embedded with the 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecule as an internal standard onto the inner wall of a capillary tube. The fabrication process is facile and convenient with no requirement for complicated procedures. The exclusively prepared nanoparticles were able to significantly improve the signal consistency and overcome the limitations of reliable quantitative SERS analysis compared with conventional methods. Importantly, it was found that this capillary-based substrate with higher sensitivity was essentially attributed to more valid nanoparticles in the effective laser excitation region derived from the unique structure of the capillary. Furthermore, the applicability of the Au@4-MBA@Ag nanorod-decorated capillary for the quantitative identification of fungicides (malachite green and crystal violet) on the shell was demonstrated. As a result, this proposed lab-on-capillary sensor holds promising practical potential for rapid on-site analysis, especially for various contaminants on an uneven surface.

Abstract
In this work, a series of highly flexible and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates were fabricated by the in-situ growth of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on polydopamine (PDA) templated filter papers (FPs), based on mussel-inspired surface chemistry. The obtained FP@PDA@AgNPs strips exhibited high sensitivity and reproducibility with Rhodamine 6G (R6G) probe molecules, with a calculated detection limit of approximately 10-10 M. More critically, these FP@PDA@AgNPs strips could be used as outstanding flexible SERS sensors to quickly collect and detect malachite green (MG) residues on fish scales, crab shells and shrimp skins by a swabbing extraction method. The detection limits for MG residues were calculated to be approximately as low as 0.04635 pg/cm2, 0.06952 pg/cm2 and 0.09270 pg/cm2, respectively. This facile and efficient strategy could to be utilized as a universal approach to fabricating a variety of flexible, cheap and portable SERS sensors for surface contamination analysis, and has great potential in the environmental scientific analysis and food safety monitoring fields.

Abstract
Mixed pesticides are usually applied to agricultural products to enhance agricultural production. However, their presence in the environment and food poses serious health risks to humans. Therefore, rapid and reliable detection methods for mixed pesticides residues are in need to minimize potential health hazards. Herein, a nondestructive and sensitive strategy was developed to determine thiram and thiabendazole (TBZ) mixture on fruit surface using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology coupled with interfacial self-assembly gold nanorods (Au NRs) array substrates together with self-modelling mixture analysis (SMA) method. Firstly, a large area high-density Au NRs array was fabricated by organic-aqueous interfacial self-assembly to serve as a sensitive SERS substrate for simultaneously screening of thiram and TBZ on the fruit surface. Then, an SMA method was employed to identify and separate the Raman spectrum for each pesticide from the Raman spectra of the pesticides mixture on the contaminated fruit surface. Results showed that using SERS technique with the SMA method, qualitative and quantitative analyses of a single component from the spectra of the mixture were simultaneously realized, and the resolved pure spectrum of each pesticide was presented. The limits of detection (LOD) of pesticides on the surface of apple, tomato and pear were 0.041, 0.029 and 0.047 ng/cm2 for thiram, and 0.79, 0.76 and 0.80 ng/cm2 for TBZ, respectively. It was anticipated that the proposed SERS detection approach combined with SMA methods should pave the way for detecting multi-analytes in practical applications for agriculture and food safety inspection.

Abstract
In this study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) coupled with multivariate calibrations were employed to develop a rapid, simple and sensitive method for determination of mercury ions residues in dairy products. Initially, spherical Au@SiO2 core shell nanoparticles with highly enhancement effect were synthesized to serve as the SERS substrate. Afterwards, an optical sensor system, namely micro-Raman spectroscopy system, was constructed for rapid acquisition of Au@SiO2-mercury ions spectra. Then, ant colony optimization (ACO) and genetic algorithm (GA) were applied comparatively for selecting the characteristic variables from the Savitzky Golay-First derivative (SG-FD) processing data for subsequent quantitative analysis. Eventually, both linear (PLS and SW-MLR) and nonlinear (BPANN and BP-AdaBoost) methods were used for modeling. Experimental results showed that the variables selection methods significantly improved the model performance. Especially for the ACO algorithm, and the ACO-BP-AdaBoost model achieved the best results with the higher correlation coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.997), and lower root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP = 0.092) than other quantification models. Paired sample t-test exhibited no statistically significant difference (sig > 0.05) between the reference concentrations determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the predicted concentrations by ACO-BP-AdaBoost model in adulterated foodstuffs.

Abstract
Exposure to commonly used pesticides poses significant health risks to humans and wildlife. Hence, accurate and sensitive pesticide residue testing methods are imperative to minimize potential health hazards. In this study, we report a method to detect several pesticide residues at trace levels utilizing colloidal gold nanoparticles and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Gold nanoparticles suspended in water have been found to enhance Raman scattering from 21 pesticides, including fungicides and insecticides, such as neonicotinoids and organothiophosphates. Measured limits of detection ranged from 0.001 to 10 parts per million (ppm). Furthermore, simultaneous detection of two pesticides, phosmet and thiram, in both a mixture solution and on apple skin, was performed using the SERS method and principal component analysis. The results presented here indicate that SERS coupled with colloidal gold nanoparticles is a potential useful tool for identifying pesticides at trace levels for food safety applications.

Abstract
The high sensitivity and long-term storage stability of a plasmonic substrate are vital for practical applications of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique in real-world analysis. In this study, a rationally designed, ternary film-packaged, silver-coated gold-nanoparticle (Au@Ag NP) plasmonic array was fabricated and applied as a stable and high-performance SERS chip for highly sensitive sensing of thiabendazole (TBZ) residues in fruit juices. The ternary films played different roles in the plasmonic chip: a newborn poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film serving as a template for fixing the self-assembled closely packed monolayer Au@Ag NP array that provided an intensive hot spot, a fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction adhesive film (qPCR film) acting as a carrier to retrieve the Au@Ag/PMMA film that was used to improve the robustness of the plasmonic array, and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film covered over the Au@Ag/PMMA/qPCR film performing as a barrier to improve the stability of the chip. The Au@Ag/PMMA/qPCR-PET film chip showed high sensitivity with an enhancement factor of 3.14 × 106, long-term storage stability without changing SERS signals for more than 2 months at room temperatures, and a low limit of detection for sensing TBZ in pear juice (21 ppb), orange juice (43 ppb), and grape juice (69 ppb). In addition, the procedure for fabricating the Au@Ag/PMMA/qPCR-PET film SERS chip was easy to handle, offering a new strategy to develop flexible and wearable sensors for on-site monitoring of chemical contaminants with a portable Raman spectrometer in the future.
