Abstract
The accurate diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy relies on achieving ultrasensitive biosensing for biomarker detection. However, existing biosensors face challenges such as poor sensitivity, complexity, time-consuming procedures, and high assay costs. To address these limitations, we report a WS2-based plasmonic biosensor for the ultrasensitive detection of biomarker candidates in clinical human urine samples associated with diabetic nephropathy. Leveraging plasmonic-based electrochemical impedance microscopy (P-EIM) imaging, we observed a remarkable charge sensitivity in monolayer WS2 single crystals. Our biosensor exhibits an exceptionally low detection limit (0.201 ag/mL) and remarkable selectivity in detecting CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) protein biomarkers, outperforming conventional techniques such as ELISA. This work represents a breakthrough in traditional protein sensors, providing a direction and materials foundation for developing ultrasensitive sensors tailored to clinical applications for biomarker sensing.

Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a powerful tool for determining molecular interactions quantitatively. SPR imaging (SPRi) further improves the throughput of SPR technology and provides the spatially resolved capability for observing the molecular interaction dynamics in detail. SPRi is becoming more and more popular in biological and chemical sensing and imaging. However, SPRi suffers from low spatial resolution due to the imperfect optical components and delocalized features of propagating surface plasmonic waves along the surface. Diverse kinds of approaches have been developed to improve the spatial resolution of SPRi, which have enormously impelled the development of the methodology and further extended its possible applications. In this minireview, we introduce the mechanisms for building a high-spatial-resolution SPRi system and present its experimental schemes from prism-coupled SPRi and SPR microscopy (SPRM) to surface plasmonic scattering microscopy (SPSM); summarize its exciting applications, including molecular interaction analysis, molecular imaging and profiling, tracking of single entities, and analysis of single cells; and discuss its challenges in recent decade as well as the promising future.

Microfluidic flow injection analysis system for the electrochemical detection of dopamine using diazonium-grafted copper nanoparticles on multi-walled carbon nanotube-modified surfaces. Talanta 2024; 266:125030. [PMID: 37582331 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
In this proof-of-concept study, a microfluidic flow injection analysis (FIA) system was developed using multi-walled carbon nanotube-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (CNTSPEs) that were modified with copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) following the electrodeposition of the diazonium salt of 4-aminothiophenol to form 4-thiophenol-conjugated CuNPs (CuNPs-CNTSPE). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) were used to characterize the size of CuNPs, morphology and elemental analysis of CuNPs-CNTSPE, respectively. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the charge-transfer resistance (Rct) of CuNPs-CNTSPE was found to be 20-fold lower than that of CNTSPE. The CuNPs-CNTSPE displayed an oxidation peak for dopamine at -0.08 V which is ∼80 mV lower than the one detected using CNTSPE. The modified electrode was used in microfluidic flow injection analysis and offline systems for sensitive detection of dopamine (DA). The pH, flow rate, loop volume, concentration, and type of surfactant were all optimized for on-chip detection. Under the optimal conditions, using phosphate electrolyte solution (pH 6) containing 0.05% (w/v) Tween 20® as the carrier at a flow rate of 0.6 mL min-1 and a loop volume of 50 μL, the calibration curve was linear from 1.5 to 500 nM with a limit of detection of 0.33 nM. This technique was used for the successful detection of DA in real samples with recovery ranging from 96.5% to 103.8%. The microfluidic FIA system described here has the potential to be used as an electrochemical point-of-care device for rapid DA detection with high sensitivity and reproducibility.

Abstract
Measuring molecular binding kinetics represents one of the most important tasks in molecular interaction analysis. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a popular tool for analyzing molecular binding. Plasmonic scattering microscopy (PSM) is a newly developed SPR imaging technology, which detects the out-of-plane scattering of surface plasmons by analytes and has pushed the detection limit of label-free SPR imaging down to a single-protein level. In addition, PSM also allows SPR imaging with high spatiotemporal resolution, making it possible to analyze cellular response to the molecular bindings. In this Mini Review, we present PSM as a method of choice for chemical and biological imaging, introduce its theoretical mechanism, present its experimental schemes, summarize its exciting applications, and discuss its challenges as well as the promising future.

Abstract
Understanding of DNA-mediated charge transport (CT) is significant for exploring circuits at the molecular scale. However, the fabrication of robust DNA wires remains challenging due to the persistence length and natural flexibility of DNA molecules. Moreover, CT regulation in DNA wires often relies on predesigned sequences, which limit their application and scalability. Here, we addressed these issues by preparing self-assembled DNA nanowires with lengths of 30-120 nm using structural DNA nanotechnology. We employed these nanowires to plug individual gold nanoparticles into a circuit and measured the transport current in nanowires with an optical imaging technique. Contrary to the reported cases with shallow or no length dependence, a fair current attenuation was observed with increasing nanowire length, which experimentally confirmed the prediction of the incoherent hopping model. We also reported a mechanism for the reversible CT regulation in DNA nanowires, which involves dynamic transitions in the steric conformation.

Abstract
Probing of the single-cell level extracellular electron transfer highlights the maximum output current for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) at hundreds of femtoampere per cell, which is difficult to achieve by existing devices. Past studies focus on the external factors for boosting charge-extraction efficiency from bacteria. Here, we elucidate the intracellular factors that determine this output limit by monitoring the respiratory-driven shrinking kinetics of a single magnetite nanoprobe immobilized on a single Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cell with plasmonic imaging. Quantified dissolving of nanoprobes unveils a previously undescribed bio-current fluctuation between 0 and 2.7 fA on a ∼40 min cycle. Simultaneously tracing of endogenous oscillations indicates that the bio-current waves are correlated with the periodic cellular electrokinesis. The unsynchronized electron transfer capability in the cell population results in the mean current of 0.24 fA per cell, significantly smaller than in single cells. It explains why the averaged output current of MFCs cannot reach the measured single-cell currents. This work offers a different perspective to improve the power output by extending the active episodes of the bio-current waves.

Abstract
Studying the localized electrocatalytic activity of heterogeneous electrocatalysts is crucial for understanding electrocatalytic reactions and further improving their performance. However, correlating the electrocatalytic activity with the microscopic structure of two-dimensional (2D) electrocatalysts remains a great challenge due to the lack of in situ imaging techniques and methods of tuning structures with atomic precision. Here, we present a general method of probing the layer-dependent electrocatalytic activity of 2D materials in situ using a plasmonic imaging technique. Unlike the existing methods, this approach was used to visualize the surface charge density and electrocatalytic activity of single 2D MoS2 nanosheets, enabling the correlation of layer-dependent electrocatalytic activity with the surface charge density of single MoS2 nanosheets. This work provides insights into the electrocatalytic mechanisms of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, and our approach can serve as a promising platform for investigating electrocatalytic reactions at the heterogeneous interface, thus guiding the rational design of high-performance electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The Co3O4 nanoparticle-modified indium tin oxide-coated glass slide (ITO) electrodes are successfully prepared using dicarboxylic acid as the self-assembled monolayer through a surface esterification reaction. The ITO-SAM-Co3O4 (SAM = dicarboxylic acid) are active to electrochemically catalyze oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid. The most active assembly, with Co loading at 3.31 × 10−8 mol cm−2, exhibits 374 mV onset overpotential and 497 mV overpotential to reach 1 mA cm−2 OER current in 0.1 M HClO4. The electron transfer rate constant (k) is acquired using Laviron’s approach, and the results show that k is not affected by the carbon chain lengths of the SAM (up to 18 -CH2 groups) and that an increase in the average diameter of Co3O4 nanoparticles enhances the k. In addition, shorter carbon chains and smaller Co3O4 nanoparticles can increase the turn-over frequency (TOF) of Co sites toward OER. The Co3O4 nanoparticles tethered to the ITO surface show both a higher number of electrochemically active Co sites and a higher TOF of OER than the Co3O4 nanoparticles bound to ITO using Nafion.

Abstract
This work describes a facile fabrication of an efficient electrochemical sensor utilizing sonication-derived Galinstan nanoparticles (Galinstan NPs) interfaced to annealed dirhenium heptoxide (Re2O7) thin-film on Silicon (Si) for the quantitative detection of the most promising acute renal disease biomarker Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL). Under optimized preconditions, the anti-NGAL antibodies were immobilized on the Galinstan NPs/Re2O7/Si electrode by carbodiimide crosslinking to detect NGAL. The composition, morphology, and structural properties of the electrode were elucidated by various physical characterizations. The sensor obtained a high sensitivity (0.018 µA-1ng-1ml-1, R2 = 0.99) in differential pulse voltammetry and a minimum detection limit (2.14 ng ml-1) in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for a wide range of NGAL concentrations (25-650 ng ml-1) with high selectivity and stability. The intensified performance of the sensor was achieved by the summed-up electron transfer from the Re2O7 film to Galinstan NPs and Galinstan NPs to the electroactive reactants. Additionally, the outer 2D gallium oxide (Ga2O3) layer of Galinstan Nps enhanced the redox activities, whereas the metallic core contributed to the magnificent conductivity. The excellent recovery rates of the sensor for different concentrations of NGAL measured in commercial human serum by the standard addition method assured the feasibility of the sensor.

Abstract
Real-time probing of the compositional evolution of single nanoparticles during an electrochemical reaction is crucial for understanding the structure-performance relationship and rationally designing nanomaterials for desirable applications; however, it is consistently challenging to achieve high-throughput real-time tracking. Here, we present an optical imaging method, termed plasmonic scattering interferometry microscopy (PSIM), which is capable of imaging the compositional evolution of single nanoparticles during an aqueous electrochemical reaction in real time. By quantifying the plasmonic scattering interferometric pattern of nanoparticles, we establish the relationship between the pattern and composition of single nanoparticles. Using PSIM, we have successfully probed the compositional transformation dynamics of multiple individual nanoparticles during electrochemical reactions. PSIM could be used as a universal platform for exploring the compositional evolution of nanomaterials at the single-nanoparticle level and offers great potentials for addressing the extensive fundamental questions in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Abstract
SignificanceThin transparent semiconductors of two-dimensional materials are attractive for the practical applications in next-generation nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. Probing the electron states and electrical switching mechanisms of a molybdenum disulphide monolayer with atomic-scale thickness (6.5 Å) allows us to unlock the full technological potential of this nanomaterial. We introduced a plasmonic phase imaging method to uncover the underlying mechanism and detailed switching dynamics of an electrical-state switching event. This dramatic phase change can be attributed to the reversible switching of classical electromagnetic coupling and quantum coupling effects interplaying between a single metal nanoparticle and molybdenum disulphide monolayer, and the transient intermediate states during the switching event can be directly imaged by a plasmonic technique.

Abstract
Probing and tuning the electron tunneling in metal electrode-insulator-metal nanoparticle systems provide a unique vision for understanding the fundamental mechanism of electrochemistry and broadening the horizon in practical applications of molecular electronics in many electrochemical systems. Here we report a plasmonic imaging technique to monitor the local double-layer charging of individual Au nanoparticles deposited on gold electrode separated by monolayer of n-alkanethiol molecules. The thickness of molecular monolayer tunes the tunneling kinetics and conductivity, which predicts the heterogeneous behavior on the modified electrode surface for different electrochemical systems. We studied the distance dependence of the electron tunneling and double layer charging processes by a plasmonic-based electrical impedance microscopy. By performing fast Fourier transform analysis of the recorded plasmonic image sequences, we can quantify the interfacial impedance of single nanoparticles and the tunneling decay constant of molecular layer. We further observed the electron neutralization dynamics during single-nanoparticle collisions on different surfaces. This optical readout of electron tunneling demonstrates an imaging approach to determine the electrical properties of metal electrode-insulator-metal nanoparticle systems, which include the electron tunneling mechanism and local impedance.

Abstract
Single-molecule localization allows determining the underlying biological and biochemical processes and promotes the development of super-resolution imaging techniques. Here, we present an optical technique of tracking the motion of a single nanoparticle linked to a substrate via a biomolecule tether to reveal the localization of single biomolecules and the transient states of single nanoparticle switching between specific binding pairs. The affinities, steric hindrance, and conformational variation of a single-molecule binding pair uncover the dynamic details and intrinsic mechanism of binding processes with high specificity and accuracy (a few nanometers). The application of tracking motions of single soft liposomes on different modified surfaces was further demonstrated, which revealed the characteristic behavior related to surface chemistry. Our results show that the trajectory of nanoscale liposomes loaded with small-drug molecules is linked to the compositional inhomogeneity, which provides a route for thorough comprehension of the fundamental biotechnological process.

Abstract
The precise measurement of thermodynamic and kinetic properties for biomolecules provides the detailed information for a multitude of applications in biochemistry, biosensing, and health care. However, sensitivity in characterizing the thermodynamic binding affinity down to a single molecule, such as the Gibbs free energy ([Formula: see text]), enthalpy ([Formula: see text]), and entropy ([Formula: see text]), has not materialized. Here, we develop a nanoparticle-based technique to probe the energetic contributions of single-molecule binding events, which introduces a focused laser of optical tweezer to an optical path of plasmonic imaging to accumulate and monitor the transient local heating. This single-molecule calorimeter uncovers the complex nature of molecular interactions and binding characterizations, which can be employed to identify the thermodynamic equilibrium state and determine the energetic components and complete thermodynamic profile of the free energy landscape. This sensing platform promises a breakthrough in measuring thermal effect at the single-molecule level and provides a thorough description of biomolecular specific interactions.

Abstract
When a metal nanoparticle is brought near to a metal surface within electron tunneling distance (∼1 nm), classical electromagnetic coupling between the nanoparticle and the metal is expected to transition to quantum coupling. We show that this transition can be observed as a drastic phase change in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) images of the gold nanoparticles. We study the transition by controlling the distance between the nanoparticles and electrode surface, modeling the impact of the transition on the SPR image in terms of a phase shift and demonstrating detection of microRNA based on the transition from classical to quantum coupling. The work shows that the quantum coupling can be directly visualized in SPR, and the extremely sensitive dependence of the transition on distance leads to a biosensing principle with SPR.
