Atta S, Vo-Dinh T. Improved solution-based SERS detection of creatinine by inducing hydrogen-bonding interaction for effective analyte capture. Talanta 2024; 278:126373. [PMID: 38901075 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126373] [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: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Recently, solution-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection technique has been widely recognized due to its cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and ease of use. However, solution-based SERS is limited for practical applications mainly because of the weak adsorption affinity of the target biomolecules to the surface of plasmonic nanoparticles. Herein, we developed a highly sensitive solution-based SERS sensing platform based on mercaptopropionic acid (MPA)-capped silver-coated gold nanostars (SGNS@MPA), which allows efficient enrichment on the nanostars surface for improved detection of an analyte: creatinine, a potential biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The SGNS@MPA exhibited high enrichment ability towards creatinine molecules in alkaline medium (pH-9) through multiple hydrogen bonding interaction, which causes aggregation of the nanoparticles and enhances the SERS signal of creatinine. The detection limit for creatinine was achieved at 0.1 nM, with a limit of detection (LOD) value of 14.6 pM. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we conducted the first quantitative detection of creatinine in noninvasive human fluids, such as saliva and sweat, under separation-free conditions. We achieved a detection limit of up to 1 nM for both saliva and sweat, with LOD values as low as 0.136 nM for saliva and 0.266 nM for sweat. Overall, our molecular enrichment strategy offers a new way to improve the solution-based SERS detection technique for real-world practical applications in point-of-care settings and low-resource settings.

Abstract
Traditional diagnostic methods, such as blood tests, are invasive and time-consuming, while sweat biomarkers offer a rapid physiological assessment. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has garnered significant attention in sweat analysis because of its high sensitivity, label-free nature, and nondestructive properties. However, challenges related to substrate reproducibility and interference from the biological matrix persist with SERS. This study developed a novel ratio-based 3D hydrogel SERS chip, providing a noninvasive solution for real-time monitoring of pH and glucose levels in sweat. Encapsulating the probe molecule (4-MBN) in nanoscale gaps to form gold nanoflower-like nanotags with internal standards and integrating them into an agarose hydrogel to create a 3D flexible SERS substrate significantly enhances the reproducibility and stability of sweat analysis. Gap-Au nanopetals modified with probe molecules are uniformly dispersed throughout the porous hydrogel structure, facilitating the effective detection of the pH and glucose in sweat. The 3D hydrogel SERS chip demonstrates a strong linear relationship in pH and glucose detection, with a pH response range of 5.5-8.0 and a glucose detection range of 0.01-5 mM, with R2 values of 0.9973 and 0.9923, respectively. In actual sweat samples, the maximum error in pH detection accuracy is only 1.13%, with a lower glucose detection limit of 0.25 mM. This study suggests that the ratio-based 3D hydrogel SERS chip provides convenient, reliable, and rapid detection capabilities with substantial application potential for analyzing body fluid pH and glucose.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) have played a significant role in the evolution of modern nanoscience and nanotechnology in terms of colloidal synthesis, general understanding of nanocrystal growth mechanisms, and their impact in a wide range of applications. They exhibit strong visible colors due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) that depends on their size, shape, composition, and the surrounding dielectric environment. Under resonant excitation, the LSPR of plasmonic NPs leads to a strong field enhancement near their surfaces and thus enhances various light-matter interactions. These unique optical properties of plasmonic NPs have been used to design chemical and biological sensors. Over the last few decades, colloidal plasmonic NPs have been greatly exploited in sensing applications through LSPR shifts (colorimetry), surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface-enhanced fluorescence, and chiroptical activity. Although colloidal plasmonic NPs have emerged at the forefront of nanobiosensors, there are still several important challenges to be addressed for the realization of plasmonic NP-based sensor kits for routine use in daily life. In this comprehensive review, researchers of different disciplines (colloidal and analytical chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine) have joined together to summarize the past, present, and future of plasmonic NP-based sensors in terms of different sensing platforms, understanding of the sensing mechanisms, different chemical and biological analytes, and the expected future technologies. This review is expected to guide the researchers currently working in this field and inspire future generations of scientists to join this compelling research field and its branches.

Abstract
Substrate development in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) continues to attract research interest. In order to determine performance metrics, researchers in foundational SERS studies use a variety of experimental means to characterize the nature of substrates. However, often this process would appear to be performed indiscriminately without consideration for the physical scale of the enhancement phenomena. Herein, we differentiate between SERS substrates whose primary enhancing structures are on the hundreds of nanometer scale (analytical SERS nanosubstrates) and those whose main mechanism derives from nanometric-sized gaps (hot-spot dominated SERS substrates), assessing the utility of various characterization methods for each substrate class. In this context, characterization approaches in white-light spectroscopy, electron beam methods, and scanning probe spectroscopies are reviewed. Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, wavelength-scanned SERS studies, and the impact of surface hydrophobicity are also discussed. Conclusions are thus drawn on the applicability of each characterization technique regarding amenability for SERS experiments that have features at different length scales. For instance, while white light spectroscopy can provide an indication of the plasmon resonances associated with 10 s-100 s nm-scale structures, it may not reveal information about finer surface texturing on the true nm-scale, critical for SERS' sensitivity, and in need of investigation via scanning probe techniques.

Abstract
Rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic bacteria is absolutely essential for research in environmental science, food quality, and medical diagnostics. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), as an emerging spectroscopic technique, has the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, rapid detection speed, and portable operation, which has been broadly used in the detection of pathogenic bacteria in different kinds of complex samples. However, the SERS detection method is also challenging in dealing with the detection difficulties of bacterial samples in complex matrices, such as interference from complex matrices, confusion of similar bacteria, and complexity of data processing. Therefore, researchers have developed some technologies to assist in SERS detection of bacteria, including both the front-end process of obtaining bacterial sample data and the back-end data processing process. The review summarizes the key steps for improving bacterial SERS signals in complex samples: separation, recognition, detection, and analysis, highlighting the principles of each step and the key roles for SERS pathogenic bacteria analysis, and the interconnectivity between each step. In addition, the current challenges in the practical application of SERS technology and the development trends are discussed. The purpose of this review is to deepen researchers' understanding of the various stages of using SERS technology to detect bacteria in complex sample matrices, and help them find new breakthroughs in different stages to facilitate the detection and control of bacteria in complex samples.

Emerging Microfluidic Tools for Simultaneous Exosomes and Cargo Biosensing in Liquid Biopsy: New Integrated Miniaturized FFF-Assisted Approach for Colon Cancer Diagnosis. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:9432.

Abstract
The early-stage diagnosis of cancer is a crucial clinical need. The inadequacies of surgery tissue biopsy have prompted a transition to a less invasive profiling of molecular biomarkers from biofluids, known as liquid biopsy. Exosomes are phospholipid bilayer vesicles present in many biofluids with a biologically active cargo, being responsible for cell-to-cell communication in biological systems. An increase in their excretion and changes in their cargo are potential diagnostic biomarkers for an array of diseases, including cancer, and they constitute a promising analyte for liquid biopsy. The number of exosomes released, the morphological properties, the membrane composition, and their content are highly related to the physiological and pathological states. The main analytical challenge to establishing liquid biopsy in clinical practice is the development of biosensors able to detect intact exosomes concentration and simultaneously analyze specific membrane biomarkers and those contained in their cargo. Before analysis, exosomes also need to be isolated from biological fluids. Microfluidic systems can address several issues present in conventional methods (i.e., ultracentrifugation, size-exclusion chromatography, ultrafiltration, and immunoaffinity capture), which are time-consuming and require a relatively high amount of sample; in addition, they can be easily integrated with biosensing systems. A critical review of emerging microfluidic-based devices for integrated biosensing approaches and following the major analytical need for accurate diagnostics is presented here. The design of a new miniaturized biosensing system is also reported. A device based on hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation followed by luminescence-based immunoassay is applied to isolate intact exosomes and characterize their cargo as a proof of concept for colon cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Although both electromagnetic and charge transfer (CT) mechanisms play a role in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the contribution of the latter is limited by poor CT efficiency. Herein, we propose molecular-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (MERS) for the first time and develop a simple strategy to induce strong CT-enhanced Raman signals using a phosphoester (POE) electron-transfer bridge. Consequently, an excellent POE-enhanced Raman effect was found when various mono-, bis-, and trisaminobenzene compounds were used as probe analytes. Quantification analysis of this MERS effect revealed that the enhancement ratio and factor of the POE molecules can be up to 87% and ∼109, respectively. Spectroscopic analysis and density functional theory calculation confirmed that this effect was because of the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which promotes CT via electronic reorganization and enhances the Raman signals of target analytes. These results demonstrate the feasibility of MERS for highly CT-enhanced Raman signals.

[PMID: 36963151 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
Early diagnosis of colorectal cancer can significantly improve the overall survival rate of patients, thus selective and sensitive detection of biomarkers in serum samples is vital for early detection and dynamic monitoring of cancer. Nucleoside diphosphate kinase NM23-H2 (NDKB) is an important biomarker and therapeutic target for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, a label-free and ultrasensitive biosensor for NDKB protein markers is presented for the first time, combining the characteristic capture selectivity of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and the ultrasensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technique. The imprinted cavity serves as the only channel for Raman reporter to approach the SERS substrate, providing highly complementary non-covalent binding sites that selectively capture the target protein based on ionic, hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions. Specific recognition of the NDKB protein will perfectly fill the imprinted cavity, which makes it difficult for the Raman reporter to get close to the SERS substrate, and the Raman signal decreases significantly, while the proteins of other structural sizes can not match the imprinted cavity. Through the change of the Raman signal, the proposed biosensor can realize the ultra-sensitive detection of NDKB, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.82 pg/mL. Compared with the traditional immunoassay technology, this combined approach with the advantages of low cost, fast response, high sensitivity and selectivity, provides clinical application potential for the early diagnosis of CRC.

Abstract
The assay of thrombin levels is integral to the assessment of coagulation function and clinical screening of coagulation disorder-related diseases. In this work, we illustrate the ingenious use of the target-synergized biologically mediated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization (tsBMRP) as a novel amplification strategy for the electrochemical aptamer-based biosensing of thrombin at the femtomolar levels. Briefly, the tsBMRP-based strategy relies on the boronate affinity-mediated decoration of the glycan chain(s) of the target itself with RAFT agents and the subsequent recruitment of signal labels via BMRP, mediated by the direct reduction of RAFT agents by NADH into initiating/propagating radicals. Obviously, the tsBMRP-based strategy is biologically friendly, low-cost, and simple in operation. As thrombin is a glycoconjugate, its electrochemical aptasensing involves the use of the thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) as the recognition receptor, the site-specific decoration of RAFT agents to the glycan chain of thrombin via boronate affinity, and further the recruitment of ferrocene signal labels via the BMRP of ferrocenylmethyl methacrylate (FcMMA). As boronate affinity results in the decoration of each glycan chain with tens of RAFT agents while BMRP recruits hundreds of signal labels to each RAFT agent-decorated site, the tsBMRP-based strategy allows us to detect thrombin at a concentration of 35.3 fM. This electrochemical aptasensor is highly selective, and its applicability to thrombin detection in serum samples has been further demonstrated. The merits of high sensitivity and selectivity, low cost, good anti-interference capability, and simple operation make the tsBMRP-based electrochemical thrombin aptasensor great promise in biomedical and clinical applications.

Abstract
This paper describes the use of cyclodextrins (CDs) to improve the determination of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in human body fluids using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). CDs were used to (i) prepare the CD-SERS substrate (synthesis and stabilization of silver nanoparticles), (ii) increase the sensitivity of the assay by enhancing the interaction between analyte molecules and the substrate, and (iii) improve the analysis accuracy by reducing the interaction between the substrate and endogenous components of body fluids. Two native CDs (α-CD and β-CD) and two of their derivatives with hydroxypropyl groups were tested, and the best results were obtained with CD-SERS substrate prepared using native β-CD. The CD-SERS assay has been developed and optimized for the determination of commonly used and structurally related fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, pefloxacin, and levofloxacin) in urine and blood plasma samples. Importantly, the non-significant difference in the interaction of the CD-modified SERS substrate with various fluoroquinolones has been successfully used to develop a versatile assay suitable for the analyte-class-specific analysis. Calibration plots were obtained for concentration ranges suitable for the determination of the antibiotics in urine (50-500 μg mL-1) and blood plasma (1-6 μg mL-1). The following figures of merit were obtained (for urine and blood plasma, respectively): RSD values are ≤15% and ≤23%, LOD values are 2.9-5.8 and 0.05-0.34 μg mL-1, recovery ranges are 96-105% and 91-111%. In addition, the influence of excessive concentrations of some main endogenous components of the body fluids on the analytical signal was studied. This step was used to evaluate possible limitations of the assay associated with the deviation of the composition of the body fluid matrix. Therefore, accounting for the short analysis time (≤15 min) and the use of a portable Raman spectrometer, the proposed assay can be suggested for therapeutic drug monitoring in hospitals.

Abstract
Poor selectivity and reusability of Au/Ag nanostructures are the main challenges for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in real sample detection. Herein, a novel specific and reusable three-dimensional (3D) SERS sensor with dual functions of selective trapping and photocatalytic degradation was designed. Firstly, Au-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles decorated silicon nanowires array (SiNWs-AuAg) were prepared as 3D SERS substrate. Then, silicon-based inorganic-framework molecularly imprinted TiO2 (TiO2@SiMIP) was synthesized and immobilized on SiNWs-AuAg by using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as template molecule. Owing to the excellent SERS performance of SiNWs-AuAg and the specific affinity of TiO2@SiMIP to template molecule, the prepared SERS sensor enables sensitive and selective detection of R6G in food samples with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.27 nM. In addition, due to the photocatalysis of TiO2 and the stability of silicon-based inorganic framework, the residual templates in TiO2@SiMIP can be completely removed by UV irradiation, and the imprinted cavity of regenerated sensors still maintained good selectivity after regeneration by UV irradiation.

Abstract
Cells and their derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) or exosomes contain unique molecular signatures that could be used as biomarkers for the detection of severe diseases such as cancer, as well as monitoring the treatment response. Revealing these molecular signatures requires developing non-invasive ultrasensitive tools to enable single molecule/cell-level detection using a small volume of sample with low signal-to-noise ratio background and multiplex capability. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) can address the current limitations in studying cells and EVs through two main mechanisms: plasmon-enhanced electric field (the so-called electromagnetic mechanism (EM)), and chemical mechanism (CM). In this review, we first highlight these two SERS mechanisms and then discuss the nanomaterials that have been used to develop SERS biosensors based on each of the aforementioned mechanisms as well as the combination of these two mechanisms in order to take advantage of the synergic effect between electromagnetic enhancement and chemical enhancement. Then, we review the recent advances in designing label-aided and label-free SERS biosensors in both colloidal and planar systems to investigate the surface biomarkers on cancer cells and their derived EVs. Finally, we discuss perspectives of emerging SERS biosensors in future biomedical applications. We believe this review article will thus appeal to researchers in the field of nanobiotechnology including material sciences, biosensors, and biomedical fields.

Abstract
This article reviews recent fabrication methods for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates with a focus on advanced nanoarchitecture based on noble metals with special nanospaces (round tips, gaps, and porous spaces), nanolayered 2D materials, including hybridization with metallic nanostructures (NSs), and the contemporary repertoire of nanoarchitecturing with organic molecules. The use of SERS for multidisciplinary applications has been extensively investigated because the considerably enhanced signal intensity enables the detection of a very small number of molecules with molecular fingerprints. Nanoarchitecture strategies for the design of new NSs play a vital role in developing SERS substrates. In this review, recent achievements with respect to the special morphology of metallic NSs are discussed, and future directions are outlined for the development of available NSs with reproducible preparation and well-controlled nanoarchitecture. Nanolayered 2D materials are proposed for SERS applications as an alternative to the noble metals. The modern solutions to existing limitations for their applications are described together with the state-of-the-art in bio/environmental SERS sensing using 2D materials-based composites. To complement the existing toolbox of plasmonic inorganic NSs, hybridization with organic molecules is proposed to improve the stability of NSs and selectivity of SERS sensing by hybridizing with small or large organic molecules.

Abstract
1,4-Benzenedithiol (BDT)-bridged core-satellite assemblies, as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) mechanical probes, can be employed for real-time monitoring of the dynamics of endocytic forces and the accompanying trajectory of nanoparticles during the endocytosis process. These mechanical probes exhibit good responses in terms of SERS intensity ratios while undergoing mechanical pressure. Force tracing and the accompanying trajectory of nanoparticles are resolved accurately to render the endocytosis process in live cells. Density functional theory simulation results further proved the sensing scheme due to the electrons transforming between BDT and gold nanoparticles. Furthermore, this SERS mechanical probe is a valid method to visualize endocytic forces at multiple locations and establish a direct criterion to discriminate between cancer cells and normal cells.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as one of the most promising platforms for various biosensing applications. These sensing systems encompass the advantages of specificity, ultra-high sensitivity, stability, low cost, repeatability, and easy-to-use methods. Moreover, their ability to offer a molecular fingerprint and identify the target analyte at low levels make SERS a promising technique for detecting circulating cancer biomarkers with greater sensitivity and reliability. Among the various circulating biomolecules, oncomiRs are emerging as prominent biomarkers for the early screening of breast cancers (BCs). In this review, we provide a comprehensive understanding of different SERS-based biosensors and their application to identify BC-specific oncomiRs. We also discuss different SERS-based sensing strategies, nano-analytical frameworks, and challenges to be addressed for effective clinical translation.

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

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has long been an ultrasensitive technique for trace molecule detection. However, the development of a sensitive, stable, and reproducible SERS substrate is still a challenge for practical applications. Here, we demonstrate a cost-effective, centimeter-sized, and highly reproducible SERS substrate using the nanosphere lithography technique. It consists of a hexagonally packed Ag metasurface on a SiO2/Au/Si substrate. A seconds-lasting etching process of a self-assembled nanosphere mask manipulates the geometry of the deposited Ag metasurface on the SiO2/Au/Si substrate, which attains the wavelength matching between the optical absorbance of the Ag/SiO2/Au/Si substrate and the excitation laser wavelength as well as the enhancement of Raman signals. By spin-coating a thin layer of graphene oxide on the substrate, a SERS performance with 1.1 × 105 analytical enhancement factor and a limit of detection of 10−9 M for melamine is achieved. Experimental results reveal that our proposed strategy could provide a promising platform for SERS-based rapid trace detection in food safety control and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Putrescine and cadaverine are toxic biogenic amines in spoiled food, which poses a serious threat to food security. In this work, we reported a highly sensitive three-dimensional (3D)-rosettelike surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate functionalized with a p-mercaptobenzoic acid (p-MBA) monolayer to detect liquid and gaseous putrescine and cadaverine in pork samples. The SERS substrate was made by a combination of the merit of the 3D morphology of ZnO nanorod arrays on a flexible porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane and the in situ chemical growth of Au nanoparticle seeds on Au film-coated ZnO nanorods, which produced a 3D-rosettelike BigAuNP/Au/ZnO/P heterostructure with abundant SERS-active hot spots that significantly enhanced the localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) effect and charge-transfer (CT) effect of Raman enhancement. This SERS substrate showed high sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, and uniformity. With the p-MBA molecular monolayer as the sensing interface, our SERS substrate realized the highly sensitive and quantitative detection of liquid putrescine and cadaverine within 10 min, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.2 × 10-16 and 1.6 × 10-13 M, respectively. Additionally, the sensor showed efficient SERS responses to gaseous amine molecules at low concentrations (putrescine: 1.26 × 10-9 M, cadaverine: 2.5 × 10-9 M). Further, the sensor was successfully applied to determine the total content of putrescine and cadaverine. Moreover, the practicability of this SERS sensor was verified by the measurement of liquid and gaseous amines in pork samples, and it showed great potential applications for sensitive detection of food spoilage.

Abstract
There is keen research interest in building highly effective semiconductor-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platforms, due to their selectivity for many probe molecules and suitability for complex scenario applications. However, current tuning approaches have not yet been successful in creating semiconductor-based SERS sensors for small inorganic molecules, due to the challenge of creating sufficient SERS enhancement in semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate the use of MoO3·xH2O quantum dots (QDs), to achieve direct and sensitive fingerprinting of the inorganic species hydrazine, which is a first attempt in semiconductor-based SERS research, as well as various other probe molecules. The resulting SERS platform that uses QDs with average size of 2.2 nm could successfully detect the signal of hydrazine with a limit of detection estimated to be around 4 × 10-5 M, significantly lowering the detectable concentration by at least 1000-fold, in sharp contrast to the weak performance of 10 and 100 nm particles, demonstrating that quantum size effect triggered by small particle size below the Bohr radius is crucially responsible for high SERS activity. The significantly enhanced SERS activity is a result of vibronically coupled multipathway, highly efficient charge-transfer resonances induced by the divergence of energy states in quantum-sized MoO3·xH2O. This is a proof-of-concept demonstration of the exploitation of quantum size effect, toward significantly enhanced intrinsic SERS activity in semiconductor-based SERS materials.

Abstract
Hierarchically structured films comprise a growing section of the field of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Here, we report a novel, powerfully enhancing hierarchical plasmonic substrate featuring patterned multilayers of magnetic iron oxide nanospheres using an external magnetic field to create sets of radial ridges. This new substrate allows for effective analyte adsorption and significant Raman signal enhancement, thanks to the contribution of both the magnetic and plasmonic components to the electromagnetic hotspots. We demonstrate significant and reliable Raman enhancement for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dilute but persistent environmental pollutants, in a complex and real-world matrix of produced water (PW). The substrate activity for PAHs is validated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. An impressive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of several dB enables detection of the analyte below 1 ppm. This multilayer magnetic film sensor substrate shows remarkable stability and robustness suitable for real-world applications while boasting simple methods and strong potential to scale up fabrication.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) merges nanotechnology with conventional Raman spectroscopy to produce an ultrasensitive and highly specific analytical tool that has been exploited as the optical signal read-out in a variety of advanced applications. In this feature article, we delineate the main features of the intertwined relationship between SERS and nucleic acids (NAs). In particular, we report representative examples of the implementation of SERS in biosensing platforms for NA detection, the integration of DNA as the biorecognition element onto plasmonic materials for SERS analysis of different classes of analytes (from metal ions to microorgniasms) and, finally, the use of structural DNA nanotechnology for the precise engineering of SERS-active nanomaterials.

Abstract
4-Cyanophenylhydrazine (4-CPH) is an organic synthesis intermediate. To date, several products derived from 4-CPH have been well studied; however, 4-CPH itself has not been extensively investigated. Herein, we performed vibrational and theoretical analyses of 4-CPH. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to predict the IR and Raman spectra of 4-CPH, which were compared with the experimental spectra. The calculated and experimental spectral results were in good agreement, except for an abnormal transformation of the protonated 4-CPH cyano group (C≡N), which was observed in the theoretical IR spectrum. Several wavefunction analyses revealed that this transformation was due to the protonation-induced depolarization of the molecule. Moreover, we verified the applicability of 4-CPH as a probe for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). We observed a pH-dependent shift in the cyano bond frequency within the silent region and determined, as a novel discovery, that this shift was induced by 4-CPH protonation. Our results provide considerable, fundamental information that confirms the potential of 4-CPH as a SERS probe.

Abstract
Sensitive and precise detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is critical for prostate cancer screening and monitoring. Herein, a target-triggered and self-calibration aptasensor based on a core-satellite nanostructure using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology was developed for the sensitive and reliable determination of PSA protein, with a limit of detection of 0.38 ag mL-1 and a dynamic detection range of 10-2 to 10-15 mg mL-1. Furthermore, the proposed approach for the detection of PSA in patient blood samples was performed, and results showed that it is capable of providing comparable detection accuracy associated with a larger dynamic detection range and a lower detection limit as well as less sample requirement (only 5 μL) in comparison with the clinical commonly used method. Therefore, this SERS-based aptasensor for the detection of PSA in human blood samples has promising potential to be an alternative tool for clinical application in the accurate screening of prostate cancer.

Abstract
The sensitive detection of pesticides in complex environment is important but still challenging in presence of organic-rich water sample and food matrix. Herein, we reported a nitrile-mediated SERS immunosensor for sensitive and optical anti-interference determination of imidacloprid. Raman tag contained CN bond could provide a sharp characteristic peak in the Raman-silent spectral window (1800 ~ 2800 cm-1), which could resist the optical noises from the fingerprint region (<1800 cm-1). Aucore-Agshell bimetallic nanocuboid (AuNR@Ag) connected with antigen and Raman tag was used as Raman probe, while Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticle functionalized with anti-imidacloprid antibody was applied as signal enhancer. Owing to the specific recognition ability between antigen and antibody, the competitive system with imidacloprid was formed. Under the optimal condition, the linear relationship was developed in the range of 10-400 nM. Finally, the SERS immunosensor was successfully applied to determine imidacloprid in real samples with recoveries from 96.8% to 100.5%.

Abstract
A linear, methacrylamide polymer affinity agent was explored to capture two mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and ochratoxin A (OTA), for multiplex surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. These mycotoxins are naturally occurring small molecules from fungi that can be dangerous at low concentrations. SERS detection was completed for each polymer-toxin complex at concentrations relevant to current safety regulation by the FDA: 1 ppm for DON and 5 ppb for OTA. Visibly distinguishable vibrational modes were observed in the multiplex spectra that were attributed to each mycotoxin individually, thus, not requiring any additional chemometric analysis. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to model DON and OTA to accurately label the vibrational modes in the experimental spectra as well as provide insight on the binding between both targets and the affinity agent. Fully modeled vibrations of these toxins are novel contributions due to OTA never being modeled and only a few published vibrational modes of DON. DFT guides empirical observations regarding hydrogen bonding at multiple sites of each mycotoxin target molecule through the amine groups on the polymer, confirming the capabilities of a single polymer affinity agent to facilitate multiplex detection of a class of molecules through less-specific interactions than traditional affinity agents.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has become a growing ultrasensitive analytical technique to quantify toxic molecules in foodstuffs. Monitoring the levels of chemical contaminants not only ensures food security but also offers a guideline on the production, processing, and risk analysis of consumer's health protection. The objective of this study was to point out the possible challenges associated with the detection of mycotoxins in foodstuffs. Herein, we have discussed briefly as to selectivity, accuracy, precision, robustness, ruggedness, non-specific adsorption (NSA), cross-reactivity (for both label-free and the target analyte capture approaches like the application of antibody, aptamer, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), linear polymer affinity agents and/or specific surface-modified nanomaterials) and their potential solution.

Abstract
The stability, dispersity, and surface chemical properties of colloidal nanoparticles are crucial for the reliable and desired chemical sensing in various applications. Here, we report an effective strategy to engineer the surface properties of mesoporous Au nanoparticles (meso-Au NPs) via PVP ligand modification, template removal, and surface purification. Monodispersed 3D meso-Au NPs with well-defined sizes and shapes were obtained using a general soft-enveloping strategy. During surface modification, the addition of PVP ligands and the concentration of HF solutions play key roles in the stability, shape, and size distributions of ordered Au networks. In order to obtain an improved sensing performance, the morphologies of meso-Au NPs were optimized with smaller mesopore size, and NaBH4 solution was used to efficiently remove the adsorbed PVP ligands. Due to the characteristics of high-density porosities and large surface area, the purified meso-Au NPs could be a kind of promising plasmonic-enhanced nanomaterial and provide abundant "hot spots." Combined with the enrichment effect using a slippery liquid-infused porous surface, the lowest detection limits of crystal violet molecule could be down to 0.1 pM, demonstrating an excellent SERS sensitivity. Moreover, a realistic illegal drug containing aspirin could be sensitively detected with a limit of 2.8 × 10-6 M, showing great potential for practical molecular sensing and applications.

Abstract
An ex situ method was used to synthesize noble metals and metal oxide composite materials, due to the selective adsorption properties of metal oxides, the adsorption of different probe molecules by this composite structure had been studied. In the ex situ approach, we use (3-aminopropyl) diethoxy methylsilane (ATES) as a coupling agent which is easy for noble metal nanoparticles deposited on metallic oxide nanomaterials. The Raman scattering (SERS) substrate of 1D MoO3 nanowires (MoO3-NWs) @Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) hybrid surface had been fabricated. Several parameters are presented in the following which influences the morphology of self-assembly and SERS activity: (i) coupling agent of ATES, (ii) ATES content (iii) Ag-NPs content. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is to explain the enhancement mechanism distribution of the hybrid substrate. Different probe molecules (R6G, Methylene Blue, Crystal Violet, and 4-ATP) have been adsorbed for SERS tests. Improved principle component analysis (PCA) is adopted to obtain the minimum detection limit of probe molecules. Through the DFT calculation, different absorption strengths between the target molecules and the MoO3(010) surface have been illustrated, which is also the main reason for the selective enhancement effect of MoO3@Ag hybrid nanostructures. This paper might propose a method to prepare such enhancement substrate based on the selective absorption properties of oxide semiconductors.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NP) that exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance play an important role in metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Among the optical biosensors, MEF and SERS stand out to be the most sensitive techniques to detect a wide range of analytes from ions, biomolecules to macromolecules and microorganisms. Particularly, anisotropic metal NPs with strongly enhanced electric field at their sharp corners/edges under a wide range of excitation wavelengths are highly suitable for developing the ultrasensitive plasmon-enhanced biosensors. In this review, we first highlight the reliable methods for the synthesis of anisotropic gold NPs and silver NPs in high yield, as well as their alloys and composites with good control of size and shape. It is followed by the discussion of different sensing mechanisms and recent advances in the MEF and SERS biosensor designs. This includes the review of surface functionalization, bioconjugation and (directed/self) assembly methods as well as the selection/screening of specific biorecognition elements such as aptamers or antibodies for the highly selective bio-detection. The right combinations of metal nanoparticles, biorecognition element and assay design will lead to the successful development of MEF and SERS biosensors targeting different analytes both in-vitro and in-vivo. Finally, the prospects and challenges of metal-enhanced biosensors for future nanomedicine in achieving ultrasensitive and fast medical diagnostics, high-throughput drug discovery as well as effective and reliable theranostic treatment are discussed.

Abstract
The absorption behavior between plasmonic nanostructures and a target molecule plays key roles in effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. However, for analytes with low surface affinity to the metallic surface, e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), it remains challenging to observe the enhanced Raman signal. In this work, we reported a ratiometric SERS strategy for sensitive PAH detection through the surface functionalization of 3D ordered mesoporous Au nanoparticles (meso-Au NPs). By employing mono-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (HS-β-CD) as capture ligands, the hydrophobic molecules, e.g., anthracene, could be effectively absorbed on the meso-Au NP surface via a host-guest interaction. Besides, a hydrophobic slippery surface is used as a concentrator to deliver and enrich the Au/analyte droplets into a small area. Consequently, the detection limits of anthracene and naphthalene are down to 1 and 10 ppb. The improved SERS enhancement is mainly ascribed to the host-guest effect of HS-β-CD ligands, large surface area and high-density of sub-10 nm mesopores of Au networks, as well as the enrichment effect of hydrophobic slippery surface. Moreover, the HS-β-CD (480 cm-1 band) could serve as an internal standard, leading to the ratiometric determination of anthracene ranging from 1 ppm to 1 ppb. The proposed surface modification strategy in combination with the hydrophobic slippery surface shows great potential for active capture and trace detection of persistent organic pollutants in real-world SERS applications.

Abstract
For the last few decades, nanoscale materials and structures have been extensively studied and developed, making a huge impact on human sustainability. For example, the introduction of nanostructures has brought substantial development in electrocatalysts and optical sensing applications. However, there are still remaining challenges that need to be resolved to further improve their performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Herein, long-range ordered 3D nanostructures and their design principles are introduced with an emphasis on electrocatalysts for energy conversion and plasmonic nanostructures for optical sensing. Among the various fabrication techniques, sequential solvent-injection-assisted nanotransfer printing is suggested as a practical fabrication platform for tunable long-range ordered 3D nanostructures composed of ultrahigh-resolution building blocks. Furthermore, the importance of understanding and controlling the 3D design parameters is discussed to realize more efficient energy conversion as well as effective surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy analyses, suggesting new solutions for clean energy and healthcare issues.

Abstract
Molecular specific and highly sensitive detection is the driving force of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) community. The technique opens the window to the undisturbed monitoring of cellular processes in situ or to the quantification of small molecular species that do not deliver Raman signals. The smart design of molecular SERS nanosensors makes it possible to indirectly but specifically detect, e.g. reactive oxygen species, carbon monoxide or potentially toxic metal ions. Detection schemes evolved over the years from simple metallic colloidal nanoparticles functionalized with sensing molecules that show uncontrolled aggregation to complex nanostructures with magnetic properties making the analysis of complex environmental samples possible. The present article gives the readership an overview of the present research advancements in the field of molecular SERS sensors, highlighting future trends.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is regarded as an ideal optical detection candidate for its unique features of fingerprint recognition, nondestructive property, high sensitivity, and rapidity. Accordingly, MIP based SERS (MIP-SERS) sensors have attracted significant research interest for versatile applications especially in the field of chemo- and bioanalysis, showing excellent identification and detection performances. Herein, we comprehensively review the recent advances in MIP-SERS sensors construction and applications, including sensing principles and signal enhancement mechanisms, focusing on novel construction strategies and representative applications. First, the basic structure of the MIP-SERS sensors is briefly outlined. Second, novel imprinting strategies are highlighted, mainly including multifunctional monomer imprinting, dummy template imprinting, living/controlled radical polymerization, and stimuli-responsive imprinting. Third, typical application of MIP-SERS sensors in chemo/bioanalysis is summarized from both small and macromolecular aspects. Lastly, the challenges and perspectives of the MIP-SERS sensors are proposed, orienting sensitivity improvement and application expanding.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful bioanalytical technique that opens opportunities for early disease diagnosis and treatment by detecting biomarkers. However, the low sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility in the bioanalytical SERS are the main obstacles for clinical use. Herein, we demonstrate a high sensitive and selective label-free lysozyme biomarker detection platform based on coupling of SERS with molecular imprinting technique. The hierarchical silver microspheres with dendritic structure are controllably fabricated by a wet-chemical self-assembly approach. Based on selection of surface-active regions by density functional theory (DFT) simulations, a thin MIPs film (thickness < 15 nm) is then grafted on Ag microsphere surface through surface imprinting. As a result, the final synthesized Ag@MIPs hybrid exhibits as low as 5 ng mL-1 detection limit for target lysozyme, and high selectivity and reproducibility. Intensive "hot spots" in Ag@MIPs confirmed by Raman mapping give rise to the high-performance SERS. Meanwhile, DFT calculations are employed to investigate the SERS spectra and assist the assignment for the characteristic peaks of lysozyme. We believe that the present study provides a reliable and high-sensitive protocol for label-free protein biomarkers detection.

Abstract
The integration of highly-purity, dense and monodisperse plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) on two-dimensional (2D) graphene-like support possesses great potential for optimizing surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Based on ultraviolet (UV) laser-induced modified photochemical reaction, we report an ingenious and green strategy to support highly dispersed Au NPs with controllable distribution on graphene oxide (GO). Without using any stabilizing agents or other complex chemical additives, the GO with abundant oxygen-containing functional groups can be effectively excited by 375 nm laser irradiation in HAuCl4 solution, resulting in controlled reduction of Au ions and then overgrowth of highly-purity Au NPs. Highly dense and monodisperse Au NPs with uniform diameter of ~20 nm formed on GO supports can be achieved by 30 min irradiation, which can offer maximized SERS activity in comparison with GO/Au NPs obtained by other irradiation times. The optimized GO/Au NPs give rise to ultralow SERS analyses of (10-14 M) methylene blue (MB), (10-13 M) rhodamine 6G (R6G) and (10-13 M) malachite green (MG), respectively. More importantly, it can also simultaneously analyze these three aromatic dyes in a mixture condition at detection limits as low as nano-mole level (10-9-10-11 M), achieving the urgent requirement of mutually independent SERS trace detection. Therefore, the obtained GO/Au NPs with extremely high SERS activity and superior spectroscopic identification will be a prominent candidate for widespread SERS applications in real-word scenarios.

Abstract
Nonspecificity and low reproducibility are always the main challenges in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection, especially for testing real samples. In this study, we developed a sandwich-like sensor (AuA-pMIP) to detect rhodamine 6G (R6G) by integrating a porous molecularly imprinted polymer (pMIP) with a well-ordered AuNP array (AuA). To form a uniformly distributed hot spot, AuA was fabricated at an oil-water interface and was subsequently fixed between pMIP and a support slide. Finite-difference time-domain simulation indicated that the enhanced electric field covered a distance of ∼2 μm above the AuA, in which the pMIP provided effective mass-transfer channels and sufficient specific binding sites for target molecules. High specificity for AuA-pMIP in R6G detection was demonstrated by comparing the SERS performance of R6G on AuA-pMIP with that of its structural analogues on the same sensor. Remarkably, the stable sandwich-like structure allowed us to achieve a recyclable SERS sensor with high reproducibility. Finally, AuA-pMIP displayed excellent specificity and sensitivity toward R6G in a test based on a real orange juice sample. This study presents a promising method to achieve real sample testing on a SERS platform.

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.

Self-assembled "bridge" substance for organochlorine pesticides detection in solution based on Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 382:121023. [PMID: 31476717 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2019] [Revised: 08/13/2019] [Accepted: 08/14/2019] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
Pesticide residues pose a great threat to human health, and it is an urgent matter to realize fast and accurate detection of pesticide. SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering), as a nondestructive detection technology, performs a prominent role in fast detection field due to the strong surface plasmon resonance from short range effect between analyte and nanoparticle. Therefore, in order to solve the incompatibility between organochlorine pesticides molecules and noble metal nanoparticles, this paper proposed a concept of "bridge" substances acting as an interconnect function role to achieve a binding model (object-binder-metal (OBM)) and developed a droplet concentration method to enhance Raman signals. Both combination mode of pesticide molecules to bridge molecules and energy transfer of SERS experiment may relate to the compound ring according to the changes of peaks based on surface plasmon resonance. The selectivity and stability of different bridge substances interacting with pesticides molecules were illumined via binding energy of these two substances obtained by DFT calculations. A droplet can capture nanoparticles and analytes, which is conducive to SERS performance. Chloride ions in the solution contribute to rearrangement of nanoparticles and can validly promote surface activation of Ag nanoparticles to improve energy transfer efficiency of plasma resonance, resulting in superior SERS effect.

Abstract
Taking advantage of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) methodology with its unique ability to collect abundant intrinsic fingerprint information and noninvasive data acquisition we set up a SERS-based approach for recognition of physically induced DNA damage with further incorporation of artificial neural network (ANN). As a proof-of-concept application, we used the DNA molecules, where the one oligonucleotide (OND) was grafted to the plasmonic surface while complimentary OND was exposed to UV illumination with various exposure doses and further hybridized with the grafted counterpart. All SERS spectra of entrapped DNA were collected by several operators using the portable spectrometer, without any optimization of measurements procedure (e.g., optimization of acquisition time, laser intensity, finding of optimal place on substrate, manual baseline correction, etc.) which usually takes a significant amount of operator's time. The SERS spectra were employed as input data for ANN training, and the performance of the system was verified by predicting the class labels for SERS validation data, using a spectra dataset, which has not been involved in the training process. During that phase, accuracy higher than 98% was achieved with a level of confidence exceeding 95%. It should be noted that utilization of the proposed functional-SERS/ANN approach allows identifying even the minor DNA damage, almost invisible by control measurements, performed with common analytical procedures. Moreover, we introduce the advanced ANN design, which allows not only classifying the samples but also providing the ANN analysis feedback, which associates the spectral changes and chemical transformations of DNA structure.

Abstract
The combination of molecular sensors and plasmonic materials is emerging as one of the most promising approaches for ultrasensitive SERS-based detection of metal ions in complex fluids. However, only a very small fraction of the large pool of potential chemosensors described in classical analytical chemistry has been successfully implemented into viable SERS platforms for metal ion determination. This is due to the molecular restrictions that require the chemosensor to adhere onto the plasmonic surface while retaining the capability to undergo large structural alterations upon metal ion binding. In this work, we demonstrate that the structural and functional plasticity of DNA for interacting with small aromatic molecules can be exploited to this end. DNA coating of silver nanoparticles modulates the interaction of the commercially available alizarin red S (ARS) chemosensor with the nanomaterial, translating its recognition capabilities from bulk solution onto the plasmonic surface, while simultaneously directing the particle assembling into highly efficient SERS clusters. The sensing approach was successfully applied to the multiplex, quantitative determination of Al(III) and Fe(III) in tap water in the subppb level.
