Abstract
Traditional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors rely heavily on the use of plasmonic noble metals, which have limitations due to their high cost and lack of physical and chemical stability. Hence, it is imperative to explore new materials as SERS platforms that can withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions. In this study, the SERS effect of molybdenum boride ceramic powders is presented with an enhancement factor of 5 orders, which is comparable to conventional noble metal substrates. The molybdenum boride powders synthesized through liquid-phase precursor and carbothermal reduction have β-MoB, MoB2, and Mo2B5 phases. Among these phases, β-MoB demonstrates the most significant SERS activity, with a detection limit for rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules of 10-9 m. The impressive SERS enhancement can be attributed to strong molecule interactions and prominent charge interactions between R6G and the various phases of molybdenum boride, as supported by theoretical calculations. Additionally, Raman measurements show that the SERS activity remains intact after exposure to high temperature, strong acids, and alkalis. This research introduces a novel molybdenum boride all-ceramic SERS platform capable of functioning in harsh conditions, thereby showing the promising of boride ultrahigh-temperature ceramics for detection applications in extreme environments.

Abstract
Biomimetic cytochrome P450 for chemical activation of environmental carcinogens is an efficient in vitro model for evaluating their mutagenicity and ultimately acquiring the metabolites that cannot be easily accessed by conventional routes of organic synthesis. Different kinds of mutagen derived from polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by metalloporphyrin/oxidant model systems have been reported, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Herein, we have for the first time demonstrated an effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) protocol to study the dynamics and biomimetic metabolic behaviors of pyrene (Pyr) in the presence of various oxygen donors. Quantitative information on the relative concentration of Pyr and its metabolites in the biomimetic system can be extracted from the SERS spectra. On the basis of our results, we conclude that the oxidative metabolism of Pyr is highly influenced by the types and concentrations of oxygen donors, leading to the formation of 1-hydroxypyrene and dioxygenated products. Besides, the addition of an appropriate amount of an organic solvent can promote the formation of secondary oxidation products. These results offer valuable insights into the dynamics of PAHs metabolism and the regulation of their metabolic pathways in biomimetic activation. In comparison to traditional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, the present SERS approach is more suitable for high-throughput evaluation of the metabolic process and kinetics of PAHs. We anticipate that this approach will enable a more general and comprehensive tracking of metabolic dynamics and molecular mechanisms involved in the biomimetic activation of other xenobiotics, such as procarcinogens, promutagens, and drugs.

Abstract
In this study, we introduce a synergistic approach to enhance the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal in two-dimensional (2D) MXene through photo-irradiation and electric field modulation. Our methodology involves the integration of 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene with piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer, resulting in the creation of a free-standing, flexible composite film. On this composite film, a thin layer of Au was deposited. Our flexible substrate was able to sense methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), 4-aminothiophenol (ATP), and melamine. The SERS substrate exhibits low detection limit of 10-8 M MB with a 6.7 × 106 enhancement factor (EF). The SERS substrate enables picomolar (pM) detection sensitivity for CV molecules with an EF of 9.2 × 109. Furthermore, the introduction of photo-irradiation leads to an additional ∼3.5-fold enhancement in the SERS signal, which is attributed to the altered work function and defects. The application of mechanical force to the piezoelectric PVDF/Ti3C2Tx film results in a ∼4.5-fold boost in SERS signal due to mechanical force-induced electrical energy. The fabrication strategy employed here for producing a flexible piezoelectric PVDF/Ti3C2Tx film holds significant promise for expanding the potential application of 2D MXene in rapid, on-site sensing scenarios.

Abstract
Exosome-based liquid biopsies possess great potential in monitoring cancer development However, current exosome detection biosensors require large exosome volumes, showing the weak detection sensitivity. Besides, these methods pay little attention to in situ analysis of exosomes, hence limiting the provision of more accurate clinically-relevant information. Herein, we develop an innovative label-free biosensor combining the low-cost thermophoretic enrichment method with the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection. Based on the thermophoretic enrichment strategy, exosomes and gold nanoparticles can be enriched together into a small area with a scale of 500 μm within 10 min. The Raman signals of various exosomes derived from normal, cancerous cell lines and human serum are dynamically monitored in situ, with the limit of detection of 102-103 particles per microliter, presenting higher sensitivity compared with the similar label-free SERS detection. The spectral data set of different exosomes is applied to train for multivariate classification of cell types and to estimate how the normal exosome data resemble cancer cell exosome. The reliable classification and identification of different exosomes can be realized. The current biosensor is convenient, low-cost and requires small exosome volumes (∼3 μL), and if validated in larger cohorts may contribute to the tumor prediction and diagnosis.

Reliable quantitative detection of uric acid in urine by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with endogenous internal standard. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 251:116101.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of uric acid (UA) in urine serve as warning signs for gout and metabolic cardiovascular diseases, necessitating the monitoring of UA levels for early prevention. However, the current analytical methods employed suffer from limitations in terms of inadequate suitability for home-based applications and the requirement of non-invasive procedures. In this approach, creatinine, a metabolite with a constant excretion rate, was incorporated as an endogenous internal standard (e-IS) for calibration, presenting a rapid, pretreatment-free, and accurate strategy for quantitative determination of UA concentrations. By utilizing urine creatinine as an internal reference value to calibrate the signal fluctuation of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of UA, the quantitative accuracy can be significantly improved without the need for an external internal standard. Due to the influence of the medium, UA, which carries a negative charge, is selectively adsorbed by Au@Ag nanoparticles functionalized with hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) in this system. Furthermore, a highly convenient detection method was developed, which eliminates the need for pre-processing and minimizes matrix interference by simple dilution. The method was applied to the urine detection of different volunteers, and the results were highly consistent with those obtained using the UA colorimetric kit (UACK). The detection time of SERS was only 30 s, which is 50 times faster than UACK. This quantitative strategy of using urinary creatinine as an internal standard to correct the SERS intensity of uric acid is also expected to be extended to the quantitative detection needs of other biomarkers in urine.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate quantification of trace targets in complex samples is an extremely challenging issue in fast analysis field. Herein, we developed Fe3O4-carboxyl modified AuNPs-chitosan@AgNPs composite (Fe3O4-AuNCs-Cs@AgNPs) as a robust surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for rapid analysis of tryptamine (TPA) and ofloxacin (OFX). The substrate possessed abundant surficial active sites of -NH2, -OH and -COOH groups. The substrate exhibited good SERS activity for several different model molecules with enhancement factors (EFs) of 1.2 × 108 for 4-mercaptobenzoic acid. The substrate presented good stability for detection of TPA at pH 6.0 and OFX at pH 8.0, and relative standard deviations less than 5.0% for intra-batch and 6.0% for inter-batch. Also, the substrate possessed good time-stability within 50 days. The substrate integrated advantages of efficient enrichment, fast magnetic separation, and strong localized surface plasmon resonance properties of AgNPs. With versatile merits, TPA and OFX can be enriched and separated within 10 min. SERS methods for analysis of TPA and OFX were developed with detection limits of 35.5 μg/L and 15.8 μg/L, respectively. TPA and OFX were actually found in aquatic product, and recoveries during sample analysis were 89.3%-110% for TPA and 89.3%-96.8% for OFX. The analytical process completed within 30 min via enrichment-separation-detection all-in-one, exhibiting great potential for rapid analysis of toxic biogenic monoamines and antibiotic residues in food.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is regarded as the most direct and powerful tool to identify chemical fingerprints. However, current SERS substrate materials still face some critical challenges, including low molecular utilization efficiency and low selectivity. Herein, a novel oxygen vacancy heteropolyacid─H10Fe3Mo21O51 (HFMO)─is developed as a high-performance volume-enhanced Raman scattering (VERS)-active platform. Due to its merit of water solubility, HFMO forms a special coordination bond with the probe molecule at the molecular level, which allows its enhancing ability to be comparable to that of noble metals. An enhancement factor of 1.26 × 109 and a very low detection limit of 10-13 M for rhodamine 6G were obtained. A robust O-N coordination bond was formed between the anion of HFMO and the probe molecule, resulting in a special electron transfer path (Mo-O-N) with high selectivity, which is verified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and density functional theory calculations. That is to say, the proposed HFMO platform has excellent VERS enhancing effect, specifically for the molecules containing the imino group (e.g., methyl blue, detection limit: 10-11 M), offering the merits of high reproducibility and uniformity, high-temperature resistance, long-time laser irradiation, and strong acid resistance. Such an initial effort on the ionic type VERS platform may enable the further development of highly sensitive, highly selective, and water-soluble VERS technology.

Abstract
With the progressive nanofabrication technology, plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) have been increasingly deployed in the field of biosensing. PNPs have favorable biocompatibility, conductivity, and tunable optical properties. In addition, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of PNPs plays a vital role in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). PNPs-based SERS biosensing enables wide-ranging applications for sensitive detection and high spatial and temporal resolution imaging. Numerous reviews of PNPs in the field of SERS biosensing highlight the fabrication or applications in one or more fields. However, the specific strategies for the SERS biosensor construction had not been summarized systematically. Thus, this work offers a comprehensive overview of SERS enhancement strategies based on PNPs, with a focus on SERS label-free detection along with label detection sensing construction, as well as its challenges and future trends.

Abstract
Solar-to-steam (STS) generation based on plasmonic materials has attracted significant attention as a green method for producing fresh water. Herein, a simple in situ method is introduced to fabricate Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on cellulose filter papers as dual-functional substrates for STS generation and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing. The substrates exhibit 90% of broadband solar absorption between 350 and 1800 nm and achieve an evaporation rate of 0.96 kg·m-2·h-1 under 1-sun illumination, room temperature of 20 °C, and relative humidity of 40%. The STS generation of the substrate is stable during 30 h continuous operation. Enriched SERS hotspots between AuNPs endow the substrates with the ability to detect chemical contamination in water with ppb limits of detection for rhodamine 6G dye and melamine. To demonstrate dual-functional properties, the contaminated water was analyzed with SERS and purified by STS. The purified water was then analyzed with SERS to confirm its purity. The developed substrate can be an improved and suitable candidate for fresh water production and qualification.

Lossless enrichment of trace analytes in levitating droplets for multiphase and multiplex detection. Nat Commun 2022; 13:7807. [PMID: 36528683 PMCID: PMC9759559 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-35495-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Concentrating a trace amount of molecules from liquids, solid objects, or the gas phase and delivering them to a localized area are crucial for almost any trace analyte detection device. Analytes within a liquid droplet resting on micro/nanostructured surfaces with liquid-repellent coatings can be concentrated during solvent evaporation. However, these coatings suffer from complex manufacturing procedures, poor versatility, and limited analyte enrichment efficiency. Here, we report on the use of an acoustic levitation platform to losslessly concentrate the analyte molecules dissolved in any volatile liquid, attached to solid objects, or spread in air. Gold nanoparticles can be simultaneously concentrated with the analytes in different phases, realizing sensitive, surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection even at attomolar (10-18 mol/L) concentration levels. The acoustic levitation platform-enabled, lossless analyte enrichment can significantly increase the analytical performance of many conventional microsensing techniques.

Abstract
Solar-driven photocatalysis offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach for the degradation of organic pollutants in water without chemical additives, but the low specific surface area and adsorption capacity of common photocatalysts restricts the surface reactions with the contaminants. Herein, we hypercrosslinked polymer layers on TiO2-graphene surface to enlarge the specific surface area from 136 to 988 m2/g, leading to a high adsorption capacity of sulfadiazine as 54.3 mg/g, which is 15.5 times that of TiO2-graphene (3.5 mg/g). The adsorption kinetics reveals the combination of physical and chemical adsorption by porous benzene-based polymer for sulfadiazine enrichment. Besides, the polymer layers with broad light absorption enable the composite to function efficiently as visible-light-driven photocatalysts. Thus, the as-designed composite exhibits excellent performance for sulfadiazine removal by integrating the adsorptive and photocatalytic processes, especially for the diluted sulfadiazine solution. More importantly, the porous polymer layer can function as a filter for weakening the interference of TiO2 surface with the natural matters from complex water matrices. Based on the identification of dominant reactive species, the possible attacking pathway and the sulfadiazine subsequent degradation are presented. Further, the enhanced adsorption and photodegradation efficiency can also be achieved for the removal of other typical pollutants such as 4-chlorophenol and methylene blue. This study highlights an adsorption-enhanced-degradation mechanism for water pollutants that can direct the design of high-performance photocatalysts under visible light.

Abstract
With the development of flexible surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates that can realize rapid in situ detection, the SERS technique accompanied by miniaturized Raman spectrometers holds great promise for point-of-care testing (POCT). For an in situ detection strategy, constructing high-performance flexible and transparent SERS substrates through a facile and cost-effective fabrication method is critically important. Herein, we present a simple method for fabricating a large-area flexible and transparent SERS substrate consisting of a silver-nanoparticle-grafted wrinkled polydimethylsiloxane (Ag NPs@W-PDMS) film, using a surface-wrinkling technique and magnetron sputtering technology. By characterizing rhodamine 6G as a probe molecule with a portable Raman spectrometer, the flexible SERS substrate shows a low detection limit (10-7 M), a high enhancement factor (6.11 × 106), and excellent spot-spot and batch-batch reproducibilities (9.0% and 4.2%, respectively). Moreover, the Ag NPs@W-PDMS substrate maintains high SERS activity under bending and twisting mechanical deformations of over 100 cycles, as well as storage in air for 30 days. To evaluate its practical feasibility, in situ detection of malachite green on apple and tomato peels is performed with a detection limit of 10-6 M. In addition, for point-of-care analysis, we develop a wireless transmission system to transmit the collected SERS spectral data to a computer in real time for signal processing and analysis. Therefore, the proposed Ag NPs@W-PDMS SERS substrate fabricated through a simple and mass-producible method, combined with the utilization of a portable Raman spectrometer and wireless communication, offers a promising opportunity to extend the SERS technique from the laboratory to POCT applications.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has great potential for the detection of marine pollutants, but it is still restricted in ultra-trace and quantitative analysis. Here, a strategy for the detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was proposed based on Au nanoscale convex polyhedrons (Au NCPs) coated with high-energy facets and embedded with 4-ATP as a probe molecule. Au NCPs acted as SERS substrates and led to limits of detection (LODs) for six common PAHs that reached 0.01 nM. Using internal calibration, the relative standard deviations (RSD) of the spectral stability and reproducibility were as low as 3.36% and 5.11%, respectively. The maximum mean relative errors (AREs) of the predicted and true values were 6.28%. The results indicate that the resulting Au NCPs improved the ultra-trace and quantitative detection of SERS, thus suggesting that the Au NCPs have practical application value in SERS.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) MXene materials have attracted broad interest in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications by virtue of their abundant surface terminations and excellent photoelectric properties. Herein, we propose to design highly sensitive MXene-based SERS membranes by integrating a 2D downsizing strategy with molecular enrichment approaches. Two types of 2D vanadium carbide (V4C3 and V2C) MXenes are demonstrated for ultrasensitive SERS sensing, and corresponding SERS mechanisms including the effect of 2D vanadium carbide thickness on their electron density states and interfacial photoinduced charge transfer resonance were discussed. A 2D downsizing strategy authorizes nonplasmonic SERS detection with a sensitivity of 1 × 10-7 M. Moreover, the performance can be further upgraded by vacuum-assisted filtration, which enables an ultrarapid molecular enrichment (within 2 min), ultrahigh molecular removal rate (over 95%), and improved sensitivity (5 × 10-9 M). This work may shed light on the MXene-based materials as an innovative platform for nonplasmonic SERS detection.

Simultaneous detection of circulating tumor DNAs using a SERS-based lateral flow assay biosensor for point-of-care diagnostics of head and neck cancer. BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2022; 13:4102-4117.

Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has recently emerged as an ideal target for biomarker analytes. Thus, the development of rapid and ultrasensitive ctDNA detection methods is essential. In this study, a high-throughput surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based lateral flow assay (LFA) strip is proposed. The aim of this method is to achieve accurate quantification of TP53 and PIK3CA E545K, two types of ctDNAs associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), particularly for point-of-care testing (POCT). Raman reporters and hairpin DNAs are used to functionalize the Pd-Au core-shell nanorods (Pd-AuNRs), which serve as the SERS probes. During the detection process, the existence of targets could open the hairpins on the surface of Pd-AuNRs and trigger the first step of catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification. The next stage of CHA amplification is initiated by the hairpins prefixed on the test lines, generating numerous "hot spots" to enhance the SERS signal significantly. By the combination of high-performing SERS probes and a target-specific signal amplification strategy, TP53 and PIK3CA E545K are directly quantified in the range of 100 aM-1 nM, with the respective limits of detection (LOD) calculated as 33.1 aM and 20.0 aM in the PBS buffer and 37.8 aM and 23.1 aM in human serum, which are significantly lower than for traditional colorimetric LFA methods. The entire detection process is completed within 45 min, and the multichannel design realizes the parallel detection of multiple groups of samples. Moreover, the analytical performance is validated, including reproducibility, uniformity, and specificity. Finally, the SERS-LFA biosensor is employed to analyze the expression levels of TP53 and PIK3CA E545K in the serum of patients with HNSCC. The results are verified as consistent with those of qRT-PCR. Thus, the SERS-LFA biosensor can be considered as a noninvasive liquid biopsy assay for clinical cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
The core of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based techniques for dynamic monitoring is to realize rapid and reversible adsorption. Herein, the integration technology of electro-enhanced adsorption, solid-phase microextraction, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EE-SPME-SERS) was developed to obtain sensitive, ultrafast, and reversible SERS response toward in situ monitoring of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). In the EE-SPME-SERS method, a roughened Ag fiber with Au modification (r-Ag/Au fiber) was used as the SERS substrate, SPME sorbent, and working electrode. The r-Ag/Au fiber displayed good SERS sensitivity, ultrahigh photostability, and adsorption properties. The adsorption efficiency of benzidine was 76 times accelerated in EE-SPME-SERS compared to that in static adsorption. The whole process of "sampling and detection" in EE-SPME-SERS can be finished within 1 s. Reversible adsorption and desorption can be achieved in situ by switching the direction of electric field, and the regeneration process takes only a few minutes. Simulated release of benzidine from household wastewater was in situ and dynamically monitored using this strategy. EE-SPME-SERS was proved universal for ionized PPCPs and can detect multicomponents simultaneously. In addition, EE-SPME-SERS showed very good analytical properties. Great potential of EE-SPME-SERS can be expected in environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Water resources have long been of interest to humans and have become a serious issue in all aspects of human life. The disposal of hazardous pollutants in water resources is one of the biggest global concerns and poses many risks to human health and aquatic life. Therefore, the control of hazardous pollutants in water resources plays an important role, when it comes to evaluating water quality. Due to low toxicity, good electrical conductivity, facile functionalization, and easy preparation, magnetic materials have become a good alternative in recent years to control hazardous pollutants in water resources. In the present study, the idea of using magnetic sensors in controlling and monitoring of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals, and organic pollutants have been reviewed. The water pollutants in drinking water, groundwater, surface water, and seawater have been discussed. The toxicology of water hazardous pollutants has also been reviewed. Then, the magnetic materials were discussed as sensors for controlling and monitoring pollutants. Finally, future remarks and perspectives on magnetic nanosensors for controlling hazardous pollutants in water resources and environmental applications were explained.

Abstract
Nanosponges have shown promising capabilities for efficient removal of organic/inorganic pollutants from water based on absorption/adsorption and disinfection processes. The application of nanosponges (especially cyclodextrin-based nanosponges) can be considered a cost-effective strategy with minimal energy and time requirements in comparison to other routinely deployed water treatment modalities. These polymers with unique physicochemical properties, architectures, and highly cross-linked three-dimensional networks need to be further explored for removing pollutants with simultaneous eliminations of microbial contaminants from wastewater. Additionally, the surface functionalization of these nanosponges utilizing magnetic, titanium dioxide, and silver nanomaterials can significantly improve their properties for water remediation purposes, although nanosponges altered with carbon nanotubes and metallic nanomaterials/nanocatalysts for water treatment appliances are barely explored. Notably, crucial factors such as adsorbent type/dosage, contact time, competing ions, adsorption isotherm models, kinetics, thermodynamics, and reaction/experimental conditions (e.g., molar ratios, temperature, and pH) are important aspects affecting the adsorption and removal of pollutants using nanosponges. Furthermore, the nanotoxicity and biosafety of these nanosponge-based systems utilized for water treatment should be comprehensively evaluated. Herein, recent advancements in the design and deployment of nanosponge-based systems for removing organic/inorganic pollutants from water and wastewater are deliberated with an emphasis on challenges and perspectives.
