Abstract
Bimetallic Cu on Au nanoparticles with controllable morphology and optical properties were obtained via electrochemical synthesis. In particular, multilobed structures with good homogeneity were achieved through the optimization of experimental parameters such as deposition current, charge transfer, and metal ion concentration. A hyperspectral dark field scattering setup was used to characterize the electrodeposition on a single particle level, with changes in localized surface plasmon resonance frequency correlated with deposition charge transfer and amount of Cu deposited as determined by electron microscopy. This demonstrated the ability to tune morphology and spectra through electrochemical parameters alone. Time-resolved in situ measurements of single particle spectra were obtained, giving an insight into the kinetics of the deposition process. Nucleation of multiple cubes of Cu initially occurs preferentially on the tips of Au nanoparticles, before growing and coalescing to form a multilobed, lumpy shell. Modifying the surface of Au nanoparticles by plasma treatment resulted in thicker and more uniform Cu shells.

Abstract
In this study, an aqueous extract of Sclerocarya birrea leaves was used as a reducing agent to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The synthesis was carried out at room temperature and was both rapid and simple. Different characterization techniques such as UV/visible spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy were used to confirm the formation of AgNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibited catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, methyl orange, methylene blue, and rhodamine 6G. The catalytic activity was monitored by measuring the UV/visible absorbance spectra of the compounds using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent and found to be high. Additionally, the particles displayed oxidase-like activity. In the presence of AgNPs, 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) which is colorless was transformed to oxidized TMB, which is blue, using dissolved oxygen as the oxidant. In the presence of Hg2+, the oxidase-like activity was enhanced. On the basis of this observation, an assay for the analysis of Hg2+ was developed. The linear range of the calibration curve is wide (0-600 µM) and the limit of detection (LOD) is low, as small as 34.8 nM. The method is strongly selective towards Hg2+. Tap water obtained from the laboratory where these experiments were carried out was used to study the feasibility of the method in real sample analyses.

Abstract
Monitoring chemical reactions in solutions at the scale of individual entities is challenging: single-particle detection requires small confocal volumes, which are hardly compatible with Brownian motion, particularly when long integration times are necessary. Here, we propose a real-time (10 Hz) holography-based nm-precision 3D tracking of single moving nanoparticles. Using this localization, the confocal collection volume is dynamically adjusted to follow the moving nanoparticle and allow continuous spectroscopic monitoring. This concept is applied to study galvanic exchange in freely moving colloidal silver nanoparticles with gold ions generated in situ. While the Brownian trajectory reveals particle size, spectral shifts dynamically reveal composition changes and transformation kinetics at the single-object level, pointing at different transformation kinetics for free and tethered particles.

Abstract
Due to the complexity of heterogeneous reactions and heterogeneities of individual catalyst particles in size, morphology, and the surrounding medium, it is very important to characterize the structure of nanocatalysts and measure the reaction process of nanocatalysis at the single-particle level. Traditional ensemble measurements, however, only provide averaged results of billions of nanoparticles (NPs), which do not help reveal structure–activity relationships and may overlook a few NPs with high activity. The advent of dark-field microscopy (DFM) combined with plasmonic resonance Rayleigh scattering (PRRS) spectroscopy provides a powerful means for directly recording the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectrum of single plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs), which also enables quantitative measurements. In recent years, DFM has developed rapidly for a series of single-particle catalytic reactions such as redox reactions, electrocatalytic reactions, and DNAzyme catalysis, with the ability to monitor the catalytic reaction process in real time and reveal the catalytic mechanism. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and practical applications of DFM in measuring various kinds of catalysis (including chemocatalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and biocatalysis) at the single-particle level. Perspectives on the remaining challenges and future trends in this field are also proposed.

Abstract
A novel method for active control of resonance position of dielectric nanoparticles by increasing the excess charges carried by the nanoparticles is proposed in this paper. We show that as the excess charges carried by the particle increase, the oscillation frequency of excess charges will gradually increase, when it is equal to the incident frequency, resonance occurs due to resonant excitation of the excess charges. What is more, the formula of charges carried by an individual particle required to excite the resonance at any wavelength position is proposed. The resonance position can be directly controlled by means of particle charging, and the enhancement of resonance intensity is more obvious. This work has opened new avenues for the active control of plasmon resonances, which shows great promise for realizing tunable optical properties of dielectric nanoparticles.

Abstract
An optical microscope is probably the most intuitive, simple, and commonly used instrument to observe objects and discuss behaviors through images. Although the idea of imaging electrochemical processes operando by optical microscopy was initiated 40 years ago, it was not until significant progress was made in the last two decades in advanced optical microscopy or plasmonics that it could become a mainstream electroanalytical strategy. This review illustrates the potential of different optical microscopies to visualize and quantify local electrochemical processes with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution (below the diffraction limit), up to the single object level with subnanoparticle or single-molecule sensitivity. Developed through optically and electrochemically active model systems, optical microscopy is now shifting to materials and configurations focused on real-world electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Aggravated by human and industrial activities, heavy metal pollution has become a severe problem, causing widespread concern in society, and cannot be ignored. Herein, a graphene/gold nanoparticle-hybrid (AuNPs/ERGO) was proposed and synthesized by electrochemical methods. Based on the AuNPs/ERGO hybrid, a novel electrochemical sensing platform was established and successfully applied for the selective, quantitative detection of Hg2+, taking advantage of the well-established anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). This hybrid material not only increases the surface area and charge transfer rate but also provides more active sites for Hg deposition due to the formation of homogeneous, high density and monodispersed AuNPs on the ERGO film. The prepared AuNPs/ERGO hybrid was modified on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to detect Hg2+ with a linear range from 0.5 to 20 μg L-1 and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.06 μg L-1. The selectivity and stability of the as-prepared electrode were investigated and showed promising results. In addition, a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was also employed to verify the practical application ability of our assay with an excellent performance, which presents a bright application prospect for in situ Hg2+ detection.

Abstract
This study investigated the amalgamation of gold nanorods (AuNRs) exposed to Hg(II) solution and its effects on structural and spectral changes in single AuNRs using scanning electron microscopy and total internal reflection scattering microscopy. First, Hg adsorption on AuNR surfaces formed AuNRs@Hg core-shell structures. Afterwards, they transformed to AuNRs@AuHg alloy shell structures in air due to the slow inward diffusion of Hg over time. The aspect ratio (AR) of the AuNRs@AuHg formed by the amalgamation was significantly decreased compared to that of bare AuNRs. Furthermore, the Hg coating on AuNRs induced a dramatic blue shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak and linewidth broadening, followed by a red shift and linewidth narrowing of the LSPR peak due to inward diffusion of Hg into the AuNR core. Finally, we investigated the effects of oxygen plasma treatment on the structural changes of AuNRs@AuHg and found that their AR was a decreasing function of the plasma treatment time. More notably, a major structural change was observed 5 min after the plasma treatment. Therefore, fundamental information on the relationship among amalgamation process, plasma treatment time, structural change, and LSPR peak and linewidth is provided at the single-particle level.

Abstract
The influence of mercury on the morphology and formation mechanism of gold amalgams in the presence of different reducing agents (ascorbic acid and sodium borohydride) was systematically studied. In the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), chemical reducing agents not only reduced mercury ions in the solution but also replaced the CTAB molecules on the surface of the gold nanorod. The stability of the reducing agents in the colloidal system and the combining capacity of the reducing agent to the gold nanoparticles can affect the alloying process of mercury and gold, thereby forming a rod-shaped or spherical gold amalgam. Once CTAB was removed, a similar transformation process occurs between the gold nanorods and mercury. In addition, without the presence of a stabilizer, mercury that cannot be dispersed undergoes Ostwald ripening growth, which causes the gold amalgam nanoalloys to form a tip-to-tip structure as a result of mercury enrichment because of the weak shielding effects occurring at the tips of the gold nanorods. After the CTAB molecules were substituted with ascorbic acid and alkylthiol molecules, the question of whether the shielding effect weakened or disappeared was also investigated. By investigation, this research found that, in comparison to the blocking effect of CTAB molecules, the binding ability of the reducing agent to gold plays a dominant role in the nanoamalgam formation process.

Abstract
Mercury ions are highly toxic at trace levels, and its pollution has posed a significant threat to the environment and public health, where current detection methods mainly require laborious operation and expensive instrumentation. Herein, a simple, cost-effective, instrument-free approach for selective detection of Hg2+ based on a hand-drawn paper-based naked-eye colorimetric device is developed. To develop a hand-drawn paper-based device, a crayon is used to build hydrophobic barriers and a paper puncher is applied to obtain patterns as a sensing zone. A green method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is applied using Achillea Wilhelmsii (Aw) extract. The sensing ability of Aw-AgNPs toward Hg2+ is investigated in both solution-phase and paper substrate loaded with Aw-AgNPs using colorimetric methods. For the paper-based sensor, the quantification of the target relies on the visual readout of a color-changed sensing zone modified with Aw-AgNPs. Under optimal conditions, the color of Aw-AgNPs in aqueous solution and on the coated paper substrate can change from brown to colorless upon addition of target, with a detection limit of 28 × 10-9 m and 0.30 × 10-6 m, respectively. In conclusion, the present study indicates the potential of this hand-drawn eco-friendly paper-based sensor for monitoring of mercury.

Abstract
Metal nanocrystals with well-controlled shape and unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties have attracted tremendous attention in both fundamental studies and applications. Compared with monometallic counterparts, bimetallic nanocrystals endow scientists with more opportunities to precisely tailor their LSPR and thus achieve excellent performances for various purposes. The aim of this mini review is to present the recent process in manipulating bimetallic nanostructures with tunable LSPR and their applications for sensing. We first highlight several significant strategies in controlling the elemental ratio and spatial arrangement of bimetallic nanocrystals, followed by discussing on the relationship between their composition/morphology and LSPR properties. We then focus on the plasmonic sensors based on the LSPR peak shift, which can be well-controlled by seed-mediated growth and selective etching. This review provides insights of understanding the “rules” involving in the formation of bimetallic nanocrystals with different structures and desired LSPR properties, and also forecasts the development directions of plasmonic sensors in the future.

Abstract
Water pollution with mercury is a global concern. Therefore, establishing a rapid and accurate detection method is urgently required. Nanosensors can be a perfect alternative to instrument detection. In order to overcome low sustainability of sensors, a new composite nanosensor of sodium alginate- silver nanoparticles (SA-AgNPs) was synthesized by solvent casting method and used in colorimetric and naked eye detection of trace Hg2+ ions in water samples. The structural features of the produced nanosensor were characterized by instrumental techniques. The obtained results confirmed the formation of AgNPs with an average size of 13.34 nm. The colorimetric sensing of Hg2+ was carried out under specific conditions (pH = 6 and reaction time of 7 min) with a linear correlation obtained between the absorbance at 402 nm and different Hg2+ ion concentrations within the range of 0.025 μM-60 μM. The synthesized composite nanosensor of SA-AgNPs detected Hg2+ ions with a detection limit (LOD) of 5.29 nM. In addition, this sensor was successfully applied to detect Hg2+ ions in the environmental water samples with recoveries within the range of 81.58% to 114.73%. The produced nanosensor exhibited good selectivity toward Hg2+ ions in the presence of several competing ions.

Abstract
Retrieval of mercury from aqueous streams has significant environmental and societal importance due to its very high toxicity and mobility. We present here a method to retrieve mercury from aqueous feeds via electrochemical alloy formation on thin platinum films. This application is a green and effective alternative to traditional chemical decontamination techniques. Under applied potential, mercury ions in solution form a stable PtHg4 alloy with platinum on the cathode. A 100 nanometres platinum film was fully converted to a 750 nanometres thick layer of PtHg4. The overall removal capacity is very high, > 88 g mercury per cm3. The electrodes can easily be regenerated after use. Efficient and selective decontamination is possible in a wide pH range, allowing processing of industrial, municipal, and natural waters. The method is suited for both high and low concentrations of mercury and can reduce mercury levels far below the limits allowed in drinking water.

Abstract
Electrochemistry studies charge transfer and related processes at various microscopic structures (atomic steps, islands, pits and kinks on electrodes), and mesoscopic materials (nanoparticles, nanowires, viruses, vesicles and cells) made by nature and humans, involving ions and molecules. The traditional approach measures averaged electrochemical quantities of a large ensemble of these individual entities, including the microstructures, mesoscopic materials, ions and molecules. There is a need to develop tools to study single entities because a real system is usually heterogeneous, e.g., containing nanoparticles with different sizes and shapes. Even in the case of "homogeneous" molecules, they bind to different microscopic structures of an electrode, assume different conformations and fluctuate over time, leading to heterogeneous reactions. Here we highlight some emerging tools for studying single entity electrochemistry, discuss their strengths and weaknesses, and provide personal views on the need for tools with new capabilities for further advancing single entity electrochemistry.

Abstract
In this study, we present a valence states modulation strategy for picomole level assay of Hg2+ using directional self-assembly of gold nanorods (AuNRs) as signal readout. Hg2+ ions are first controllably reduced to Hg+ ions by appropriate ascorbic acid, and the reduced Hg+ ions react with the tips of the preadded AuNRs and form gold amalgam. Such Hg+ decorated AuNRs then end-to-end self-assemble into one-dimensional architectures by the bridging effects of lysine based on the high affinity of NH2-Hg+ interactions. Correspondingly, the AuNRs' longitudinal surface plasmon resonance is gradually reduced and a new broad band appears at 900-1100 nm region simultaneously. The resulting distinctly ratiometric signal output is not only favorable for Hg2+ ions detection but competent for their quantification. Under optimal conditions, the linear range is 22.8 pM to 11.4 nM, and the detection limit is as low as 8.7 pM. Various transition/heavy metal ions, such as Pb2+, Ti2+, Co2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, Al3+, Cu2+, Ag+, and Au3+, do not interfere with the assay. Because of ultrahigh sensitivity and excellent selectivity, the proposed system can be employed for assaying ultratrace of Hg2+ containing in drinking and commonly environmental water samples, which is difficult to be achieved by conventional colorimetric systems. These results indicate that the present platform possesses specific advantages and potential applications in the assay of ultratrace amounts of Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
Glucose is the most common but important aldehyde, and it is necessary to create biosensors with high sensitivity and anti-interference to detect it. Under the existence of silver ions and aldehyde compounds, single gold nanoparticles and freshly formed silver atoms could respectively act as core and shell, which finally form a core-shell structure. By observing the reaction between glucose and Tollens' reagent, metallic silver was found to be reduced on the surface of gold nanoparticles and formed Au@Ag nanoparticles that lead to a direct wavelength shift. Based on this principle and combined with in situ plasmon resonance scattering spectra, a plasmonic nanosensor was successfully applied in identifying aldehyde compounds with excellent sensitivity and specificity. This ultrasensitive sensor was successfully further utilized to detect blood glucose in mice serum samples, exhibiting good anti-interference ability and great promise for future clinical application.

Abstract
Polydopamine functionalized plasmonic nanocomposites with well-distributed catalytically active small gold nanoislands around large gold core were fabricated without using any chemical reductant or surfactant. The optical properties, surface molecular structures, and ensemble catalytic activity of the gold nanocomposites were investigated by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. Moreover, the considerable catalytic activity of the nanocomposites toward 4-nitrophenol reduction was real time monitored by dark-field spectroscopy techniques at the single-nanoparticle level avoiding averaging effects in bulk systems. According to the obtained plasmonic signals from individual nanocomposites, the electron charging and discharging rates for these nanocomposites during the catalytic process were calculated. Our results offer new insights into the design and synthesis of plasmonic nanocomposites for future catalytic applications as well as a further mechanistic understanding of the electron transfer during the catalytic process at the single-nanoparticle level.
