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.

Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposite as solid phase extraction adsorbent and SERS substrate for tacrolimus label-free therapeutic drug monitoring in human serum. Talanta 2024; 281:126813. [PMID: 39255621 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2024] [Revised: 09/01/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024]
Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has been extensively utilized in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) due to its rapid detection speed, high sensitivity and straightforward sample pretreatment. In this study, Au/AgNPs were obtained through the reduction of AgNO3 on the surface of AuNPs. Subsequently, Au/AgNPs were embedded into the tetrahedral lattice of ZIF-8 MOFs, resulting in the formation of Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposites. The Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposites exhibit a robust electromagnetic enhancement of Au/Ag bimetallic nanoparticles and a considerable adsorption capacity of ZIF-8 MOFs. This enables the pre-enrichment of target molecules in the vicinity of the electromagnetic field of the Au/AgNPs, thereby enhancing the sensitivity of SERS detection. The SERS substrate also exhibits high stability and reproducibility, as well as molecular sieving effects, due to the fact that Au/AgNPs are embedded into the tetrahedral lattice of ZIF-8. A TDM method for tacrolimus (FK506) in human serum was developed by using Au/Ag@ZIF-8 nanocomposites as solid phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent and SERS substrates. The results showed that under the optimized conditions, tacrolimus exhibited satisfactory linearity within the concentration range of 10-5-10-11 mol L-1, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9944, and the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 6.4 pg mL-1. The recoveries were observed to range between 92 % and 105 %, with an RSD of below 8 %. The method is highly sensitive, exhibiting a sensitivity that is 3-6 orders of magnitude higher than that of existing analytical techniques. It has the potential to be applied in a clinical setting to biological samples.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) offers a promising, cost-effective alternative for the rapid, sensitive, and quantitative analysis of potential biomarkers in exhaled gases, which is crucial for early disease diagnosis. However, a major challenge in SERS is the effective detection of gaseous analytes, primarily due to difficulties in enriching and capturing them within the substrate's "hotspot" regions. This study introduces an advanced gas sensor combining mesoporous gold (MesoAu) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), exhibiting high sensitivity and rapid detection capabilities. The MesoAu provides abundant active sites and interconnected mesopores, facilitating the diffusion of analytes for detection. A ZIF-8 shell enveloping MesoAu further enriches target molecules, significantly enhancing sensitivity. A proof-of-concept experiment demonstrated a detection limit of 0.32 ppb for gaseous benzaldehyde, indicating promising prospects for the rapid diagnosis of early stage lung cancer. This research also pioneers a novel approach for constructing hierarchical plasmonic nanostructures with immense potential in gas sensing.

BEILSTEIN JOURNAL OF NANOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 15:1054-1069.

Abstract
The present study investigates the effects of input wavelength (1064, 532, and 355 nm) and surrounding liquid environment (distilled water and aqueous NaCl solution) on the picosecond laser ablation on silver (Ag), gold (Au), and Ag/Au alloy targets. The efficacy of the laser ablation technique was meticulously evaluated by analyzing the ablation rates, surface plasmon resonance peak positions, and particle size distributions of the obtained colloids. The nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized using the techniques of UV-visible absorption, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Furthermore, NPs of various sizes ranging from 6 to 35 nm were loaded onto a filter paper by a simple and effective drop-casting approach to achieve flexible surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates/sensors. These substrates were tested using a simple, portable Raman device to identify various hazardous chemicals (malachite green, methyl salicylate, and thiram). The stability of the substrates was also systematically investigated by determining the decay percentages in the SERS signals over 60 days. The optimized SERS substrate was subsequently employed to detect chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants such as methyl salicylate (a CWA simulant for sulfur mustard) and dimethyl methyl phosphonate (has some structural similarities to the G-series nerve agents) at different laser excitations (325, 532, and 633 nm). A notably higher SERS efficiency for CWA simulants was observed at a 325 nm Raman excitation. Our findings reveal that a higher ablation yield was observed at IR irradiation than those obtained at the other wavelengths. A size decrease of the NPs was noticed by changing the liquid environment to an electrolyte. These findings have significant implications for developing more efficient and stable SERS substrates for chemical detection applications.

Abstract
The systemic use of tranexamic acid (TA) as an oral drug can bring adverse reactions, while intradermal injection leads to pain and a risk of infection. Moreover, it is difficult for highly hydrophilic TA to penetrate the skin barrier that contains lots of hydrophobic lipid compounds, which poses enormous restrictions on its topical application. Current transdermal TA delivery strategies are suffering from low drug load rates, plus their synthesis complexity, time-consumption, etc. adding to the difficulty of TA topical application in clinical therapeutics. To increase the penetration of TA, a novel approach using TA-loaded ZIF-8 (TA@ZIF-8) is developed. The encapsulation efficiency of TA@ZIF-8 reaches ≈25% through physical adsorption and chemical bonding of TA indicates by theoretical simulation and the improved TA penetration is elevated through activating the aquaporin-3 (AQP-3) protein. Additionally, in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrate the preponderance of TA@ZIF-8 for penetration ability and the advantages in intracellular uptake, minor cytotoxicity, and inhibition of melanogenesis and inflammatory factors. Moreover, clinical trials demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TA@ZIF-8 in the treatment of melasma and rosacea. This work presents a potential topical application of TA, free from the safety concerns associated with systemic drug administration.

Abstract
Sensitive and rapid identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at ppm level with complex composition is vital in various fields ranging from respiratory diagnosis to environmental safety. Herein, we demonstrate a SERS gas sensor with size-selective and multiplexed identification capabilities for VOCs by executing the pre-enrichment strategy. In particular, the macro-mesoporous structure of graphene aerogel and micropores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) significantly improved the enrichment capacity (1.68 mmol/g for toluene) of various VOCs near the plasmonic hotspots. On the other hand, molecular MOFs-based filters with different pore sizes could be realized by adjusting the ligands to exclude undesired interfering molecules in various detection environments. Combining these merits, graphene/AuNPs@ZIF-8 aerogel gas sensor exhibited outstanding label-free sensitivity (up to 0.1 ppm toluene) and high stability (RSD=14.8%, after 45 days storage at room temperature for 10 cycles) and allowed simultaneous identification of multiple VOCs in a single SERS measurement with high accuracy (error < 7.2%). We visualize that this work will tackle the dilemma between sensitivity and detection efficiency of gas sensors and will inspire the design of next-generation SERS technology for selective and multiplexed detection of VOCs.

Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease. The frequent fluctuation of glucose is the main cause of most diabetes complications, which in turn causes harm to the health of patients. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has attracted much attention in the rapid detection of glucose due to its unique molecular fingerprinting ability, ultra-high sensitivity and fast response. However, due to the low affinity between glucose and SERS substrate, poor signal, susceptibility to complex environmental interference, and poor stability of SERS detection, it is still a challenge for SERS to accurately and sensitively determine glucose in complex environments. In this work, we encapsulated 4-mercaptobutyronitrile (4-MBN) as an internal standard (IS) in Au@Ag NRs inside and then Au@4-MBN@Ag NRs, Leucomalachite Green (LMG), glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HPR) were encapsulated in ZIF-8 to prepare a tandem enzyme catalytic ratiometric SERS sensor Au@4-MBN@Ag@LMG@ZIF-8(GOx, HPR) for the detection of glucose in saliva. Because ZIF-8 enhanced the catalytic activity of the enzyme, the ability of glucose enrichment, and weakens the aggregation of Ag NRs. The internal standard signal molecule improves the accuracy and sensitivity of detection. The ratiometric Raman signal I412/I2233 of glucose has a good linear relationship with the concentration in the range of 0.1-100 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) could be down to 0.03 μM. At the same time, it has excellent selectivity, repeatability and accuracy. The recovery rate of glucose in saliva is 96.50%-105.56 %, which proves the feasibility of the method. The Au@4-MBN@Ag@LMG@ZIF-8(GOx, HPR) sensor prepared in this study showed excellent SERS performance, which was able to detect glucose quickly, sensitively and accurately. This work provides a new strategy for the design of enzyme-catalyzed SERS sensors.

Abstract
Practical gas sensing application requires sensors to quantify target analytes with high sensitivity and reproducibility. However, conventional surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor lacks reproducibility and quantification arising from variations of "hot spot" distribution and measurement conditions. Here, a ratio-dependent SERS sensor was developed for quantitative label-free gas sensing. Au@Ag-Au nanoparticles (NPs) were filtered onto anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) forming Au@Ag-Au@AAO SERS substrate. 4-MBA was encapsulated in the gap of Au@Ag-Au and served as the internal standard (IS) to calibrate SERS signal fluctuation for improved quantification ability. Combined with headspace sampling method, SO2 residue in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be extracted and captured on the immediate vicinity of Au@Ag-Au surface. The intensity ratio I613 cm-1/I1078 cm-1 showed excellent linearity within the range of 0.5 mg/kg-500 mg/kg, demonstrating superior quantification performance for SO2 detection. Signals for concentration as low as 0.05 mg/kg of SO2 could be effectively collected, much lower than the strictest limit 10 mg/kg in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Combined with a handheld Raman spectrometer, handy and quantitative TCM quality evaluation in aspect of SO2 residue was realized. This ratiometric SERS sensor functioned well in rapid on-site SO2 quantification, exhibiting excellent sensitivity and simple operability.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enables pesticide residue monitoring to become facile and efficient. In this study, a core-shell structured gold nanoparticles@ZnCo metal-organic framework (AuNPs@ZnCo-MOF) SERS substrate was designed and successfully synthesized for efficient and selective detection of thiram. The bimetallic ZnCo-MOF shell can not only enrich the targeted molecules in the electromagnetic field because of its excellent absorptive capacity, but also act as a stabilized matrix for protecting the AuNPs from aggregation. The AuNPs@ZnCo-MOFs exhibited a high enhancement factor (EF) of 3.51 × 106 and a low detection limit of 1 × 10-7 mol L-1. Besides, the substrate material showed exceptional stability for up to 28 days at room temperature. The AuNPs@ZnCo-MOFs were used to detect thiram which displayed wide linearity (1 × 10-7 to 1 × 10-4 mol L-1) and high recoveries (83.45-99.61%). Moreover, the AuNPs@ZnCo-MOF SERS substrate exhibited excellent anti-interference ability and size selectivity for the target molecules. These indicate that the AuNPs@ZnCo-MOF substrate has great potential for the detection of thiram residues in practical applications.

Abstract
A convenient and reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate has been developed for the surface corrosion analysis of bronze artifacts. The substrate consists of oriented alginate nanofiber membranes containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), which were obtained through electrostatic spinning, ion exchange, and in-situ reduction. By controlling the reduction time, Ag/alginate nanofiber membranes with different contents, sizes, and distributions were obtained. The Ag/alginate nanofiber#20 membranes, obtained with a reduction time of 20 min, reached a detection limit of 10-12 M for R6G with an enhancement factor of 6.64 × 107. In the trace detection of bronze patina, the intensity of the characteristic peaks of harmful patina located at 513, 846, 911, and 974 cm-1 were increased by more than 500 %. This was due to the uniform loading of a large number of Ag NPs on the surface of the nanofiber membrane obtained by reduction for 20 min, and the formation of a large number of hot spots between the oriented nanofibers. This significantly improved the SERS performance of the flexible substrate layer under the joint action with the Ag NPs. These results indicate that the flexible substrate layer can greatly enhance the Raman characteristic peaks of alkali copper chloride and be effectively used for trace analysis of the surface composition of bronze artifacts.

Abstract
New and efficient sensors of nerve agents are urgently demanded to prevent them from causing mass casualties in war or terrorist attacks. So, in this work, a novel hierarchical nanoheterostructure was synthesized via the direct growth of α-Fe2O3 nanorods onto multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) backbones. Then, the composites were functionalized with hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and successfully applied to detect dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP)-sarin simulant gas. The observations show that the HFIP-α-Fe2O3@MWCNT hybrids exhibit outstanding DMMP-sensing performance, including low operating temperature (220 °C), high response (6.0 to 0.1 ppm DMMP), short response/recovery time (8.7 s/11.9 s), as well as low detection limit (63.92 ppb). The analysis of the sensing mechanism demonstrates that the perfect sensing performance is mainly due to the synergistic effect of the chemical interaction of DMMP with the heterostructure and the physical adsorption of DMMP by hydrogen bonds with HFIP that are grafted on the α-Fe2O3@MWCNTs composite. The huge specific surface area of HFIP-α-Fe2O3@MWCNTs composite is also one of the reasons for this enhanced performance. This work not only offers a promising and effective method for synthesizing sensitive materials for high-performance gas sensors but also provides insight into the sensing mechanism of DMMP.

Abstract
The detection and identification of clinical biomarkers with related sensitivity have become a source of considerable concern for biomedical analysis. There have been increasing efforts toward the development of single-molecule analytical platforms to overcome this concern. The latest developments in plasmonic nanomaterials include fascinating advances in energy, catalyst chemistry, optics, biotechnology, and medicine. Nanomaterials can be successfully applied to biomolecule and drug detection in plasmonic nanosensors for pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. Plasmonic-based sensing technology exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity depending on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomena. In this critical paper, we offer an overview of the methodology of the SPR, LSPR, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA), surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF), and plasmonic nanoplatforms advanced for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. First of all, we present here a brief discussion of the above trends. We have devoted the last section to the explanation of SPR, LSPR, SERS, SEIRA, and SEF platforms, which have found a wide range of applications, and reviewed recent advances for biomedical and pharmaceutical analysis.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) allows the ultrasensitive detection of analytes present in traces or even single molecule levels by the generation of electromagnetic fields. It is a powerful vibrational spectroscopic method that is capable to detect traces of chemical and biological analytes. SERS technique is involved in the extremely sophisticated studies of molecules with high specificity and sensitivity. In the vicinity of nanomaterials decorated surfaces, SERS can monitor extremely low concentrations of analytes in a non-destructive manner with narrow line widths. This review article is focused on some recently developed SERS-based sensors for distinct types of analytes like disease-related biomarkers, organic and inorganic molecules, various toxins, dyes, pesticides, bacteria as well as single molecules. This study aims to enlighten the arising sensing approaches based on the SERS technique. Apart from this, some basics of the SERS technique like their mechanism, detection strategy, and involvement of some specific nanomaterials are also highlighted herein. Finally, the study concluded with some discussion of applications of SERS in various fields like food and environmental analysis.

Abstract
This work exploits the magneto-optical activity of gold nanorods for the detection of sub-micromolar concentrations of glutathione using magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Modulations of the magnetoplasmonic response of nanorods serve as the basis of the sensing methodology, whereby the presence of glutathione induces the end-to-end assembly of nanorods. In particular, the nanorod self-assembly enables a localized electric field in the nanocavities with adsorbed thiol molecules, whose field strength is amplified by the external magnetic field as confirmed by finite-element modeling, enabling their high-sensitivity detection. Our simple magnetoplasmonic sensor for glutathione requires no specific chemical tags and exhibits an impressive limit of detection of 97 nM.

Abstract
With the widespread use of uranium in the nuclear industry, achieving rapid and sensitive detection of uranium contaminants is critical for reducing environmental pollution. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), with its high sensitivity and unique fingerprint properties, has been used for the analysis of uranyl. However, the weak affinity of Au for uranyl remains a challenge in the development of spherical Au-based SERS substrates. The metal-organic framework (MOF) material ZIF-8 exhibits excellent adsorption capacity for uranyl and could overcome this limitation. In this study, ZIF-8 porous structures were modified on a magnetic SERS substrate, Fe3O4@SiO2@Au (FA), for the rapid and sensitive detection and analysis of the uranyl species. Uranyl was adsorbed by ZIF-8, allowing ready access to the hot spots in the interstices of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). Symmetrically stretched vibrating bonds of O═U═O were detected at 829 cm-1 as the characteristic peak of uranyl by surface plasmon resonance between the AuNPs. The ZIF-8 coating had minimal influence on target detection as the detection limit for 4-MPY was only half an order of magnitude lower than before modification. The enhancement factor for uranyl reached 106. The substrate showed excellent sensing performance in a neutral or alkaline environment. It was used to detect uranyl in tap water and river water; rapid separation of the species from the water samples was achieved using an external magnet to extract radioactive waste. The proposed substrate offers a route for monitoring and detecting uranyl contamination and an approach for achieving rapid on-site detection, providing a promising application for environmental contaminant detection.

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.

The first observation of ultraviolet surface-enhanced Raman scattering (UV-SERS) was 20 years ago, yet the field has seen a slower development pace than its visible and near-infrared counterparts. UV excitation for SERS offers many potential advantages. These advantages include increased scattering intensity, higher spatial resolution, resonance Raman enhancement from organic, biological, and semiconductor analytes, probing UV photoluminescence, and mitigating visible photoluminescence from analytes or substrates. One of the main challenges is the lack of readily accessible, effective, and reproducible UV-SERS substrates, with few commercial sources available. In this review, we evaluate the reported UV-SERS substrates in terms of their elemental composition, substrate morphology, and performance. We assess the best-performing substrates with regard to their enhancement factors and limits of detection in both the ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet regions. Even though aluminum nanostructures were the most reported and best-performing substrates, we also highlighted some unique UV-SERS composition and morphology substrate combinations. We address the challenges and potential opportunities in the field of UV-SERS, especially in relation to the development of commercially available, cost-effective substrates. Lastly, we discuss potential application areas for UV-SERS, including cost-effective detection of environmentally and militarily relevant analytes, in situ and operando experimentation, defect engineering, development of materials for extreme environments, and biosensing.

Abstract
17β-Estradiol (17β-E2) could accumulate in humans through milk, thus causing diseases by interfering with the function of the endocrine system. However, its detection at a trace level in milk is still a challenge because of matrix interferences. In this work, a core-shell structured polydopamine molecular-imprinted gold nanoparticles (AuNP@MIP-PDA) were embedded into Fe metal-organic framework materials to form a well-defined hexagonal microspindle structure of AuNP@MIP-PDA@MIL-101(Fe). AuNP@MIP-PDA were successfully encapsulated within the MIL-101 crystals through the hydrophobic interaction between organic ligands and the aromatic groups of PDA, the chelating power of catechol groups, as well as the introduction of acetic acid. Combined with the SERS activity of AuNPs, the specific recognition sites from MIPs, and the adsorption and enrichment capability of MIL-101, the fabricated nanohybrids could be designed as highly selective SERS sensors for the detection. By effectively preventing the macromolecule adsorption and the preconcentration of 17β-E2 near the SERS-active surface, the SERS sensor could be directly applied in the selective detection of 17β-E2 in milk without tedious pretreatment. The method demonstrated an outstanding detection limit of 1.95 × 10-16 mol L-1, without the interference mainly originating from the two analogues, estrone and estriol. These promising results foresee the potential application of this novel MIP-based SERS sensor in food and environmental sensing.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds are centered on metal ions or metal ion clusters, forming lattices with a highly ordered periodic porous network structure by connecting organic ligands. As MOFs have the advantages of high porosity, large specific surface area, controllable pore size, etc., they are widely used in gas storage, catalysis, adsorption, separation and other fields. SERS substrate based on MOFs can not only improve the sensitivity of SERS analysis but also solve the problem of easy aggregation of substrate nanoparticles. By combining MOFs with SERS, SERS performance is further improved, and tremendous research progress has been made in recent years. In this review, three methods of preparing MOF-based SERS substrates are introduced, and the latest applications of MOF-based SERS substrates in biosensors, the environment, gases and medical treatments are discussed. Finally, the current status and prospects of MOF-based SERS analysis are summarized.

Abstract
In this study, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were assembled on the surface of ethylene imine polymer (PEI)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) electrospun nanofiber membranes for the point-of-care testing (POCT) of thiodiglycol (TDG), a sulfur mustard poisoning metabolic marker, using concentrated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the signal reporting units. The MIPs/PEI/PVA nanofiber membranes could capture TDG specifically through the recognition interaction between MIPs and TDG. Then, AuNPs were adsorbed onto the MIPs/PEI/PVA nanofiber membranes through the Au-S interaction between TDG and AuNPs to produce a visible red color. In order to improve the sensitivity, the silver-enhanced solutions were used to deepen the color of the nanofiber membranes and the software Image J was used to read the gray value as the signal response for subsequent analysis. There was a good linear relationship between the color change of the MIPs/PEI/PVA nanofiber membranes and the TDG concentration from 0.1 ng mL-1 to 1.0 μg mL-1, and the limit of detection was 38 pg mL-1. This method was applied for the selective detection of TDG in urine, showing great potential for the clinical diagnosis of mustard gas poisoning.

Abstract
The construction of commercial surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors suitable for clinical applications is a pending problem, which is heavily limited by the low production of high-performance SERS bases, because they usually require fine or complicated micro/nano structures. To solve this issue, herein, a promising mass-productive 4-inch ultrasensitive SERS substrate available for early lung cancer diagnosis is proposed, which is designed with a special architecture of particle in micro-nano porous structure. Benefitting from the effective cascaded electric field coupling inside the particle-in-cavity structure and efficient Knudsen diffusion of molecules within the nanohole, the substrate exhibits remarkable SERS performance for gaseous malignancy biomarker, with the limit of detection is 0.1 ppb and the average relative standard deviation value at different scales (from cm2 to µm2 ) is ≈16.5%. In practical application, this large-sized sensor can be further divided into small ones (1 × 1 cm2 ), and more than 65 chips will be obtained from just one 4-inch wafer, greatly increasing the output of commercial SERS sensor. Further, a medical breath bag composed of this small chip is designed and studied in detail here, which suggested high-specificity recognition for lung cancer biomarker in mixed mimetic exhalation tests.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop and validate a simple and efficient surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method to determine flunixin meglumine (FM) residues in animal tissues through using core-shell Au@MIL-100 (Fe) as enhanced substrate. Au@MIL-100 (Fe) composite material was synthesized by coating metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) on the surface of gold nanoparticles using the solvothermal method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectrum, SERS spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Infrared spectrum (FT-IR), and EDX elemental mapping results revealed that the structural composition of the compound has good properties with localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties, high adsorption capacity, excellent SERS sensitivity and stability. When it was used as SERS substrate, the results of quantitative analysis of FM in pork showed a linear range of 0.10-50 mg·L-1 with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9819, the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.15 mg·g-1, the recovery rate of 88.94%∼104.77%, the intra- and inter- batch relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.57%∼14.22% and 0.18%∼3.44% respectively. Further verification results of the existing standard methods showed no significant difference between the SERS and UV methods (P < 0.05), as well as demonstrating that the SERS method has optimal precision, accuracy, and practicality. These results exposed that Au@MIL-100 (Fe) as a SERS substrate has great potential in rapid and on-site detection analysis.

Abstract
All fiber Michaelson interferometer cascaded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor for simultaneous measurement of trace dimethyl methyl phosphate and temperature is proposed. One end of the four-core fiber (FCF) is spliced with a multimode fiber (MMF), the other end is flattened and evaporated with silver film to enhance reflection, and the Michelson interference structure is formed. The grating is engraved in the single-mode fiber (SMF) core and spliced with MMF, then the Michelson interference cascaded FBG, FBG-MMF-FCF sensor is obtained. The sensing film, MnCo2O4 is coated on the surface of FCF, and the structure, elemental composition and morphology of MnCo2O4 were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The sensitivity and the detection limit of DMMP are 86.44 dB/ppm and 0.1767 ppb, respectively. The response/recovery time is about 14/10 s. the temperature sensitivity can be compensated and calculated as 0.069 nm/°C. The sensor has good selectivity and stability, and has a good application prospect in high sensitivity detection of trace DMMP vapor.

Abstract
The accurate detection of nanoplastics is crucial due to their harmful effects on the environment and human beings. However, there is a lack of detection methods for nanoplastics smaller than 50 nm. In this research, we successfully constructed an Ag/CuO nanowire (NW)/BaTiO3@Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) Bowl-shaped substrate with a nanowire-in-Bowl-shaped piezoelectric cavity structure that can modulate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) by the piezoelectric effect by the virtue of the tip effect of the CuO NW and light focusing effect of the Bowl-shaped cavity. Due to its unique nanowire-in-Bowl-shaped structure and piezoelectrically modifiable ability, nanoplastics less than 50 nm were successfully detected and quantitatively analyzed. We believe that the Ag/CuO NW/BaTiO3@PVDF Bowl-shaped substrate can provide an efficient, accurate, and feasible way to achieve qualitative and quantitative detection of nanoplastics.

Abstract
It is both important and required to quickly and accurately detect chemical warfare agents, such as the highly toxic nerve agent sarin. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has received considerable attention due to its rapid results, high sensitivity, non-destructive data acquisition, and unique spectroscopic fingerprint. In this work, we successfully prepared SERS cotton swabs (CSs) for the detection of the sarin simulant agent dimethyl methyl phosphonate (DMMP) by anchoring N1-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl) diethylenetriamine (ATS)/silver nanoparticle (AgNP) nanocomposites on CSs using ATS as the stabilizer and coupling agent. Simultaneously, the binding mode and reaction mechanics between the AgNP, ATS, and CS were confirmed by XPS. The modified CSs exhibited good uniformity, stability, and adsorption capability for SERS measurements, enabling the adsorption and detection of DMMP residue from an irregular surface via a simple swabbing process, with a detection limit of 1 g/L. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of RSD710 = 5.6% had high reproducibility. In this research, the fabrication method could easily be extended to other cellulose compounds, such as natural fibers and paper. Furthermore, the versatile SERS CSs can be used for the on-site detection of DMMP, particularly in civil and defense applications, to guarantee food security and the health of the population.

Abstract
The raising apprehension of volatile organic compound (VOC) exposures urges the exploration of advanced monitoring platforms. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide many attractive features including tailorable porosity, high surface areas, good chemical/thermal stability, and various host-guest interactions, making them appealing candidates for VOC capture and sensing. To comprehensively exploit the potential of MOFs as sensing materials, great efforts have been dedicated to the shaping and patterning of MOFs for next-level device integration. Among different types of sensors (chemiresistive sensors, gravimetric sensors, optical sensors, etc.), MOFs coupled with optical sensors feature distinctive strength. This review summarized the latest advancements in MOF-based optical sensors with a particular focus on VOC sensing. The subject is discussed by different mechanisms: colorimetry, luminescence, and sensors based on optical index modulations. Critical analysis for each system highlighting practical aspects was also deliberated.

Abstract
Benefiting from the electromagnetic enhancement of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) and the capture ability of organic frameworks, plasmonic metal-organic framework (MOF) structures have greatly promoted the development of gas detection by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). In those detections, the kinetic process of gaseous molecules in plasmonic-MOF structures has a great influence on SERS spectra, which is still lacking intensive investigation in previous reports. In this work, the kinetic processes of gaseous thiophenol compounds (TPC) in the plasmonic Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (Ag@ZIF) core-shell NPs are studied by SERS spectra. The experimental data demonstrate that the SERS intensities of gaseous TPC could be enhanced once more in an H2 mixed gas environment with different functional groups of TPC. Further results reveal that the two-step enhancement of SERS intensities is not only related to the thicknesses of the MOF shell but also affected by the ambient mixed gas. To understand this novel phenomenon, the binding energy between the gaseous molecule and ZIF is calculated based on first-principles computation. In combination with the plasmonic properties of the Ag core, a molecular collision model is introduced here to show the distribution of gaseous TPC molecules in ZIF, which could be responsible for this interesting two-step enhancement of SERS intensities. Furthermore, the H2 assisted kinetic process of gaseous p-aminothiophenol (PATP) is also analyzed by the classical pseudo-first-order kinetic model, which is consistent with our experimental SERS data. Our work not only reveals the novel phenomenon of plasmonic-MOF structures to improve the gas detection by SERS spectra but also enriches the understanding of the microcosmic process of gaseous molecules in the mixed gas environment to optimize MOF structures for gas capture and storage.

Abstract
Optoplasmonic hybrid structures composed of photonic and plasmonic elements with excellent optical properties are of great significance for the development of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates. In this work, the optoplasmonic hybrid structure is composed of SiO2 microsphere and two-dimensional (2D) plasmonic- metal organic frameworks (MOF) film. Among them, the 2D plasmonic-MOF film is prepared from silver nanoparticles encapsulated by zeolitic imidazole acid framework (AgNP@ZIF-8) by self-assembly method. This optoplasmonic hybrid structure with gas adsorption properties could be used as a SERS substrate for 4-Mercaptophenol (4-MP) gas detection. Experimental data show that this substrate is dependent on the thickness of the ZIF shell and the size of the SiO2 microspheres. In addition, it is confirmed by the electromagnetic field simulation of finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). The optoplasmonic hybrid microstructures exhibit good uniformity for detection of 4-MP gas molecules. This work not only broadens the understanding of our optoplasmonic hybrid structure, but also has broad application prospects in SERS and gas sensing related fields.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted widespread interest due to their unique and unprecedented advantages in microstructures and properties. Besides, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has also rapidly developed into a powerful fingerprint spectroscopic technique that can provide rapid, non-invasive, non-destructive, and ultra-sensitive detection, even down to single molecular level. Consequently, a considerable amount of researchers combined MOFs with the SERS technique to further improve the sensing performance and broaden the applications of SERS substrates. Herein, representative synthesis strategies of MOFs to fabricate SERS-active substrates are summarized and their applications in ultra-sensitive biomedical trace detection are also reviewed. Besides, relative barriers, advantages, disadvantages, future trends, and prospects are particularly discussed to give guidance to relevant researchers.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been widely applied in many fields as a sensitive vibrational fingerprint technique. However, SERS faces challenges in quantitative analysis due to the heterogeneity of hot spots. An internal standard (IS) strategy has been employed for correcting the variation of hot spots. However, the method suffers from limitations due to the competitive adsorption between the IS and the target analyte. In this work, we combined the IS strategy with the 3D hybrid nanostructures to develop a bifunctional SERS substrate. The substrate had two functional units. The bottom self-assembly layer consisted of Au@IS@SiO2 nanoparticles, which provided a stable reference signal and functioned as the calibration unit. The top one consisted of appropriate-sized Au octahedrons for the detection of target analytes, which was the detection unit. Within the 3D hybrid nanostructure, the calibration unit improved the SERS performance of the detection unit, which was demonstrated by the 6-fold increase of SERS intensity when compared with the 2D substrate. Meanwhile, the reproducibility of the detection was greatly improved by correcting the hot spot changes through the calibration unit. Two biomedical molecules of cotinine and creatinine in ultrapure water and artificial urine, respectively, were sensitively determined by the 3D hybrid substrate. We expect that the developed bifunctional 3D substrate will open up new ways to advance the applications of SERS.
