[PMID: 39178549 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024]
Abstract
Rapid and precise detection of harmful substances in food products is essential for ensuring public health and safety. This study introduces a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate, composed of a molybdenum disulfide‑silver nanocomposite, applied to flexible, water-resistant filter paper for detecting melamine and bisphenol A (BPA) in milk. Optimized molybdenum disulfide (NMS) nanoflowers (NFs) were synthesized through hydrothermal methods and high-temperature annealing, then modified with silver (Ag) nanoparticles to form the NMS-Ag nanocomposite (NMSA6). This substrate greatly enhances the Raman signal, achieving an enhancement factor of approximately 1.49 × 107 and a detection limit as low as 10-11 M for simultaneous multi-component analysis. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations confirm the enhancement mechanism. The NMSA6 substrate demonstrates remarkably low detection limits for BPA and melamine, facilitating the analysis of various hazardous substances. These findings highlight the substrate's potential for highly sensitive, label-free detection, presenting a viable tool for food safety monitoring.

Abstract
Graphene-enhanced Raman scattering (GERS) offers great opportunities to achieve optical sensing with a high uniformity and superior molecular selectivity. The GERS mechanism relies on charge transfer between molecules and graphene, which is difficult to manipulate by varying the band alignment between graphene and the molecules. In this work, we synthesized a few atomic layers of metal termed two-dimensional (2D) metal to precisely and deterministically modify the graphene Fermi level. Using copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) as a representative molecule, we demonstrated that tuning the Fermi level can significantly improve the signal enhancement and molecular selectivity of GERS. Specifically, aligning the Fermi level of graphene closer to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of CuPc results in a more pronounced Raman enhancement. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the charge density distribution reproduce the enhanced charge transfer between CuPc molecules and graphene with a modulated Fermi level. Extending our investigation to other molecules such as rhodamine 6G, rhodamine B, crystal violet, and F16CuPc, we showed that 2D metals enabled Fermi level tuning, thus improving GERS detection for molecules and contributing to an enhanced molecular selectivity. This underscores the potential of utilizing 2D metals for the precise control and optimization of GERS applications, which will benefit the development of highly sensitive, specific, and reliable sensors.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has attracted extensive attention for its rapid, ultra-sensitive, non-destructive and label-free fingerprint detection of trace molecules. Recently, two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have been investigated as SERS substrates owing to their low cost, simple synthesis, excellent optical behavior, tunable bandgap, high carrier mobility and good biocompatibility. Here, we have synthesized 2H-MoS2 nanostructures of different morphologies (vertically and horizontally oriented) via the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on different substrates (FTO-coated glass, Si and SiO2-Si) and utilized them as SERS substrates for the detection of bilirubin and vitamin B12 biomolecules. The strong vibronic coupling within the charge transfer (CT) process leads to photo-induced charge transfer (PICT) resonance, showing enhanced SERS activity. This CT mechanism is further confirmed by observing quenching of the room temperature PL spectra and enhanced SERS signals of biomolecules over SERS substrates. To the best of our knowledge, the detection limit in this work (10-11 M for bilirubin and 10-8 M for vitamin B12) is considerably higher than previously reported values. The improved efficiency of the PICT process can be achieved at low temperature, and this is confirmed when performing low temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) studies on SERS substrates. Furthermore, we also demonstrated enhanced SERS activity at low temperature on CVD-grown pristine MoS2 films over different substrates for biomolecule detection for the first time, attributing this activity to the enhanced PICT process at low temperature.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) material research is rapidly evolving to broaden the spectrum of emergent 2D systems. Here, we review recent advances in the theory, synthesis, characterization, device, and quantum physics of 2D materials and their heterostructures. First, we shed insight into modeling of defects and intercalants, focusing on their formation pathways and strategic functionalities. We also review machine learning for synthesis and sensing applications of 2D materials. In addition, we highlight important development in the synthesis, processing, and characterization of various 2D materials (e.g., MXnenes, magnetic compounds, epitaxial layers, low-symmetry crystals, etc.) and discuss oxidation and strain gradient engineering in 2D materials. Next, we discuss the optical and phonon properties of 2D materials controlled by material inhomogeneity and give examples of multidimensional imaging and biosensing equipped with machine learning analysis based on 2D platforms. We then provide updates on mix-dimensional heterostructures using 2D building blocks for next-generation logic/memory devices and the quantum anomalous Hall devices of high-quality magnetic topological insulators, followed by advances in small twist-angle homojunctions and their exciting quantum transport. Finally, we provide the perspectives and future work on several topics mentioned in this review.

Abstract
Brain disorders such as brain tumors and neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are accompanied by chemical alterations in the tissues. Early diagnosis of these diseases will provide key benefits for patients and opportunities for preventive treatments. To detect these sophisticated diseases, various imaging modalities have been developed such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). However, they provide inadequate molecule-specific information. In comparison, Raman spectroscopy (RS) is an analytical tool that provides rich information about molecular fingerprints. It is also inexpensive and rapid compared to CT, MRI, and PET. While intrinsic RS suffers from low yield, in recent years, through the adoption of Raman enhancement technologies and advanced data analysis approaches, RS has undergone significant advancements in its ability to probe biological tissues, including the brain. This review discusses recent clinical and biomedical applications of RS and related techniques applicable to brain tumors and NDs.

Hybrid Enhancement of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Using Few-Layer MoS2 Decorated with Au Nanoparticles on Si Nanosquare Holes. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12050786. [PMID: 35269274 PMCID: PMC8912446 DOI: 10.3390/nano12050786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
By combining the excellent biocompatibility of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs), and large surface area of Si nanosquare holes (NSHs), a structure in which MoS2 is decorated with Au NPs on Si NSHs, was proposed for SERS applications. The NSH structure fabricated by e-beam lithography possessed 500 nm of squares and a depth of approximately 90 nm. Consequently, a few-layer MoS2 thin films (2–4 layers) were grown by the sulfurization of the MoO3 thin film deposited on Si NSHs. SERS measurements indicated that MoS2 decorated with Au NPs/Si NSHs provided an extremely low limit of detection (ca. 10−11 M) for R6G, with a high enhancement factor (4.54 × 109) relative to normal Raman spectroscopy. Our results revealed that a large surface area of the NSH structure would probably absorb more R6G molecules and generate more excitons through charge transfer, further leading to the improvement of the chemical mechanism (CM) effect between MoS2 and R6G. Meanwhile, the electromagnetic mechanism (EM) produced by Au NPs effectively enhances SERS signals. The mechanism of the SERS enhancement in the structure is described and discussed in detail. By combining the hybrid effects of both CM and EM to obtain a highly efficient SERS performance, MoS2 decorated with Au NPs/Si NSHs is expected to become a new type of SERS substrate for biomedical detection.

Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic urges us to develop ultra-sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates to identify the infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 virions in actual environments. Here, a micrometer-sized spherical SnS2 structure with the hierarchical nanostructure of "nano-canyon" morphology was developed as semiconductor-based SERS substrate, and it exhibited an extremely low limit of detection of 10-13 M for methylene blue, which is one of the highest sensitivities among the reported pure semiconductor-based SERS substrates. Such ultra-high SERS sensitivity originated from the synergistic enhancements of the molecular enrichment caused by capillary effect and the charge transfer chemical enhancement boosted by the lattice strain and sulfur vacancies. The novel two-step SERS diagnostic route based on the ultra-sensitive SnS2 substrate was presented to diagnose the infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 through the identification standard of SERS signals for SARS-CoV-2 S protein and RNA, which could accurately identify non-infectious lysed SARS-CoV-2 virions in actual environments, whereas the current PCR methods cannot.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) is a member of the transition-metal dichalcogenides family, which is an especially promising platform for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications, due to its excellent electronic properties. However, the synthesis of large-area highly crystalline 2D MoTe2with controllable polymorphism is a huge challenge due to the small free energy difference (∼40 meV per unit cell) between semiconducting 2H-MoTe2and semi-metallic 1 T'-MoTe2. Herein, we report an optimized route for the synthesis of 2H- and 1 T'-MoTe2films by atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition. The SERS study of the as-grown MoTe2films was carried out using methylene blue (MB) as a probe molecule. The Raman enhancement factor on 1 T'-MoTe2was found to be three times higher than that on 2H-MoTe2and the 1 T'-MoTe2film is an efficient Raman-enhancing substrate that can be used to detect MB at nanomolar concentrations. Our study also imparts knowledge on the significance of a suitable combination of laser excitation wavelength and molecule-material platform for achieving ultrasensitive SERS-based chemical detection.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered material Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) exhibits a flat surface without dangling bonds and is expected to be a suitable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for the detection of organic molecules. However, further fabrication of nanostructures for enhancement of SERS is necessary because of the low detection efficiency of MoS2. In this paper, period-distribution Si/MoS2 core/shell nanopillar (NP) arrays were fabricated for SERS. The MoS2 thin films were formed on the surface of Si NPs by sulfurizing the MoO3 thin films coated on the Si NP arrays. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to characterize Si/MoS2 core-shell nanostructure. In comparison with a bare Si substrate and MoS2 thin film, the use of Si/MoS2 core-shell NP arrays as SERS substrates enhances the intensity of each SERS signal peak for Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules, and especially exhibits about 75-fold and 7-fold enhancements in the 1361 cm−1 peak signal, respectively. We suggest that the Si/MoS2 core-shell NP arrays with larger area could absorb more R6G molecules and provide larger interfaces between MoS2 and R6G molecules, leading to higher opportunity of charge transfer process and exciton transitions. Therefore, the Si/MoS2 core/shell NP arrays could effectively enhance SERS signal and serve as excellent SERS substrates in biomedical detection.

Charge-Transfer Resonance and Electromagnetic Enhancement Synergistically Enabling MXenes with Excellent SERS Sensitivity for SARS-CoV-2 S Protein Detection. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2021; 13:52.

Abstract
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 has seriously threatened human health. Rapidly and sensitively detecting SARS-CoV-2 viruses can help control the spread of viruses. However, it is an arduous challenge to apply semiconductor-based substrates for virus SERS detection due to their poor sensitivity. Therefore, it is worthwhile to search novel semiconductor-based substrates with excellent SERS sensitivity. Herein we report, for the first time, Nb2C and Ta2C MXenes exhibit a remarkable SERS enhancement, which is synergistically enabled by the charge transfer resonance enhancement and electromagnetic enhancement. Their SERS sensitivity is optimized to 3.0 × 106 and 1.4 × 106 under the optimal resonance excitation wavelength of 532 nm. Additionally, remarkable SERS sensitivity endows Ta2C MXenes with capability to sensitively detect and accurately identify the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Moreover, its detection limit is as low as 5 × 10-9 M, which is beneficial to achieve real-time monitoring and early warning of novel coronavirus. This research not only provides helpful theoretical guidance for exploring other novel SERS-active semiconductor-based materials but also provides a potential candidate for the practical applications of SERS technology.
