Transformative nanobioplasmonic effects: Toxicological implications of plasmonic silver nanoparticles in aquatic biological models. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 954:176592.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) present unique properties, such as the induced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) provoked under illumination with a proper wavelength, allowing these nanomaterials to be applied in fields such as catalysis and biomedicine. The study of AgNPs is also highly relevant from the environmental pollution viewpoint due to their high production and application in commercial products. Consequently, AgNPs reach aquatic environments and can be plasmonically stimulated under natural light conditions. This study investigates the toxic effects promoted by AgNPs under plasmonic excitation on the survival and physiology of the crustacean Daphnia similis. Two AgNP shapes (spherical and triangular) with plasmon bands absorbing in different spectral regions in the visible range were studied. The organisms were exposed to different AgNP concentrations under five different light conditions. Survival and changes in enzymatic biomarkers of oxidative stress and lipid storage were evaluated. Under LSPR conditions, we observed increased lethality for both AgNP shapes. LSPR effects of AgNPs showed mortality 2.6 and 1.7 times higher than the treatment under dark conditions for spherical and triangular morphologies respectively. The enzymatic assays demonstrated that plasmonic treatments triggered physiological responses. Significantly decreased activities were observed exclusively under LSPR conditions for both AgNP shapes. Considering all treatments, spherical AgNPs showed lower LC50 values than triangular ones, indicating their higher toxic potential. Our results demonstrate that LSPR AgNPs can induce biological responses associated with oxidative stress and survival. Therefore, this study highlights the potential risks of environmental contamination by plasmonically active metallic nanomaterials. These materials can enhance their toxicity when light-excited, yet the results also indicate promising opportunities for light-based therapies.

NANO CONVERGENCE 2024; 11:26. [PMID: 38965160 PMCID: PMC11224182 DOI: 10.1186/s40580-024-00435-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) exploits localized surface plasmon resonances in metallic nanostructures to significantly amplify Raman signals and perform ultrasensitive analyses. A critical factor for SERS-based analysis systems is the formation of numerous electromagnetic hot spots within the nanostructures, which represent regions with highly concentrated fields emerging from excited localized surface plasmons. These intense hotspot fields can amplify the Raman signal by several orders of magnitude, facilitating analyte detection at extremely low concentrations and highly sensitive molecular identification at the single-nanoparticle level. In this study, mesoscopic star-shaped gold particles (gold mesostars) were synthesized using a three-step seed-mediated growth approach coupled with the addition of silver ions. Our study confirms the successful synthesis of gold mesostars with numerous sharp tips via the multi-directional growth effect induced by the underpotential deposition of silver adatoms (AgUPD) onto the gold surfaces. The AgUPD process affects the nanocrystal growth kinetics of the noble metal and its morphological evolution, thereby leading to intricate nanostructures with high-index facets and protruding tips or branches. Mesoscopic gold particles with a distinctive star-like morphology featuring multiple sharp projections from the central core were synthesized by exploiting this phenomenon. Sharp tips of the gold mesostars facilitate intense localized electromagnetic fields, which result in strong SERS enhancements at the single-particle level. Electromagnetic fields can be further enhanced by interparticle hot spots in addition to the intraparticle local field enhancements when arranged in multilayered arrays on substrates, rendering these arrays as highly efficient SERS-active substrates with improved sensitivity. Evaluation using Raman-tagged analytes revealed a higher SERS signal intensity compared to that of individual mesostars because of interparticle hot spots enhancements. These substrates enabled analyte detection at a concentration of 10- 9 M, demonstrating their remarkable sensitivity for trace analysis applications.

Abstract
MicroRNA (miRNA) has broad application prospects in the early detection of various cancers. In this work, a SPRi/SERS dual-mode biosensor was developed on the same gold chip by AuNPs as the reinforcing medium. High throughput and sensitivity detection of three typical cervical cancer markers miRNA21, miRNA124 and miRNA143 were achieved based on the sandwich structure of polyA blocks-DNA capture probe/target miRNA/AuNPs-assistant probe or SERS nanoprobes. AuNPs greatly improved the SPR response due to mass increase and more sensitive refractive index changes. Meanwhile, due to the LSPR effect of AuNPs, the signal of SERS nanoprobe can be amplified. The miRNAs were detected in serum to verify its practicality. SPRi achieved detection of three miRNAs simultaneously. LODs were 6.3 fM, 5.3 fM and 4.6 fM, respectively, and wide dynamic response range of 500 pM-10 nM. While SERS assay ensured high sensitivity with LODs as low as 1 fM, 0.8 fM and 1.2 fM, respectively, and with the recoveries in the range of 90.0 %-100.2 %. The redundant detection signals of the two modes can provide more reliable data to prevent false positive or false negative detection, and have great application prospects in detection of cancer-related nucleic acids in early stage of disease.

Abstract
Recently, there has been an exponential growth in the number of publications focusing on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), primarily driven by advancements in nanotechnology and the increasing demand for chemical and biological detection. While many of these publications have focused on the development of new substrates and detection-based applications, there is a noticeable lack of attention given to various practical issues related to SERS measurements and detection. This review aims to fill this gap by utilizing silver nanorod (AgNR) SERS substrates fabricated through the oblique angle deposition method as an illustrative example. The review highlights and addresses a range of practical issues associated with SERS measurements and detection. These include the optimization of SERS substrates in terms of morphology and structural design, considerations for measurement configurations such as polarization and the incident angle of the excitation laser, and exploration of enhancement mechanisms encompassing both intrinsic properties induced by the structure and materials, as well as extrinsic factors arising from wetting/dewetting phenomena and analyte size. The manufacturing and storage aspects of SERS substrates, including scalable fabrication techniques, contamination control, cleaning procedures, and appropriate storage methods, are also discussed. Furthermore, the review delves into device design considerations, such as well arrays, flow cells, and fiber probes, and explores various sample preparation methods such as drop-cast and immersion. Measurement issues, including the effect of excitation laser wavelength and power, as well as the influence of buffer, are thoroughly examined. Additionally, the review discusses spectral analysis techniques, encompassing baseline removal, chemometric analysis, and machine learning approaches. The wide range of AgNR-based applications of SERS, across various fields, is also explored. Throughout the comprehensive review, key lessons learned from collective findings are outlined and analyzed, particularly in the context of detailed SERS measurements and standardization. The review also provides insights into future challenges and perspectives in the field of SERS. It is our hope that this comprehensive review will serve as a valuable reference for researchers seeking to embark on in-depth studies and applications involving their own SERS substrates.

Abstract
The separation and detection of multi-component mixtures has always been a challenging task. Traditional detection methods often suffer from complex operation, high cost, and low sensitivity. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique is a high sensitivity, powerful and rapid detection tool, which can realize the specific detection of single substance components, but it must solve the problem that multi-component mixtures cannot be accurately determined. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) technology, as a high-throughput separation technology, uses chromatographic plate as the stationary phase, and could select different developing phases for separation experiments. The advantages of TLC technology in short distance and rapid separation are widely used in protein, dye and biomedical fields. However, TLC technology has limitations in detection ability and difficulty in obtaining ideal signal intensity. The combination of TLC technology and SERS technology made the operation procedure simple and the sample size small, which can achieve rapid on-site separation and quantitative detection of mixtures. Due to the rapid development of TLC-SERS technology, it has been widely used in the investigation of various complex systems. This paper reviews the application of TLC-SERS technology in food science, environmental pollution and biomedicine.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) can be prepared from various organic (abundant) compounds that are rich in surfaces with –OH, –COOH, and –NH2 groups. Therefore, CDs exhibit good biocompatibility and electron transfer ability, allowing flexible surface modification and accelerated electron transfer during catalysis. Herein, CDs were prepared using a hydrothermal method with fructose, saccharose, and citric acid as C sources and urea as an N dopant. The as-prepared CDs were used to catalyze AgNO3–trisodium citrate (TSC) to produce Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensity increased with the increasing CDs concentration with Victoria blue B (VBB) as a signal molecule. The CDs exhibited a strong catalytic activity, with the highest activity shown by fructose-based CDs. After N doping, catalytic performance improved; with the passivation of a wrapped aptamer, the electron transfer was effectively disrupted (retarded). This resulted in the inhibition of the reaction and a decrease in the SERS intensity. When bisphenol A (BPA) was added, it specifically bound to the aptamer and CDs were released, recovering catalytical activity. The SERS intensity increased with BPA over the concentration range of 0.33–66.67 nmol/L. Thus, the aptamer-adjusted nanocatalytic SERS method can be applied for BPA detection.

Abstract
Aim: To determine the optimal AS1411 density on polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated silver nanotriangles (PNTs) for targeting breast cancer cells. Methods: PNTs modified with different AS1411 densities (ANTs) were constructed, characterized and evaluated for their targeting properties in breast cancer cells and a mouse model of breast cancer. Results: AS1411 was successfully conjugated to PNTs. The accumulation and cellular uptake of 10-ANTs were the highest. 10-ANTs plus near-IR laser irradiation displayed the greatest inhibitory effect on cell viability. However, 5-ANTs had the highest accumulation in tumor tissues. When combined with NIR laser, 5-ANTs exhibited the best in vivo photothermal therapy effect. Conclusion: The optimal AS1411 densities at the cellular and animal levels were 10% and 5%, respectively.

Abstract
In the research of resistant aging, the concentration of Growth differentiation factor-11(GDF11) is an indispensable parameter. So the accurate detection of GDF11 is very important in life science and medical cosmetology. Hereby, we proposed and demonstrated a simple method to detect low concentration GDF11 by using fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor decorated with two-dimension (2D) material Ti3C2-MXene and gold nanosphere. The sensitivity of the fiber SPR sensor was increased to be 4804.64nm/RIU. After functionalized with GDF11 antibody, the fiber SPR sensor could specifically recognize GDF11, and the limit of detection (LOD) can reach 0.577pg/L which is 100 times lower than that of single-molecule ELISA method.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and reliable detection of disease-related nucleic acids is still a big challenge in liquid biopsy because of their homologous sequences and low abundance. Herein, a novel surface plasmon resonance/surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SPR/SERS) dual-mode plasmonic biosensor based on catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA)-induced Au nanoparticle (AuNP) network was proposed for highly sensitive and reliable detection of cancer-related miRNA-652. The biosensor includes capture DNA-functionalized AuNPs (Probe 1), H1 and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) co-modified AuNPs (Probe 2), and 6-carboxyl-Xrhodamine (ROX)-labeled H2 (fuel strands). The Probe 1-Probe 2 networks were formed via the target-triggered CHA reactions, which resulted in the color change of dark-field microscopy (DFM) images and enhanced SERS effect. The SPR sensing was achieved by extracting the integral optical density of dark-field color in DFM images, and the SERS sensing was realized by the ratiometric SERS signals of ROX and internal standards 4-MBA molecules. After characterizing the feasibility and optimality of the sensing strategy, the good performance of biosensors on sensitivity, specificity and uniformity was approved. The practicability of biosensors was confirmed by detecting miRNA-652 in human serum, and both the SPR and SERS assays showed good linear calibration curves and low limit of detections (LODs) of 42.5 fM and 2.91 fM, respectively, with the recovery in the range of 94.67-111.4%. These two modes show complementary advantages, and the combined SPR/SERS dual-mode can provide more options for detection and double check the results to improve the accuracy and reliability of assays, which holds a great application prospect for cancer-related nucleic acids detection in early disease stage.

Abstract
Tumor-derived exosomes play a vital role in the process of cancer development. Quantitative analysis of exosomes and exosome-shuttled proteins would be of immense value in understanding cancer progression and generating reliable predictive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Recent studies have indicated the critical role of exosomal programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in immune checkpoint therapy and its application as a patient stratification biomarker in cancer immunotherapy. Here, we present a nanoplasmonic exosome immunoassay utilizing gold-silver (Au@Ag) core-shell nanobipyramids and gold nanorods, which form sandwich immune complexes with target exosomes. The immunoassay generates a distinct plasmonic signal pattern unique to exosomes with specific exosomal PD-L1 expression, allowing rapid, highly sensitive exosome detection and accurate identification of PD-L1 exosome subtypes in a single assay. The developed nanoplasmonic sandwich immunoassay provides a novel and viable approach for tumor cell-derived exosome detection and analysis with quantitative molecular details of key exosomal proteins, manifesting its great potential as a transformative diagnostic tool for early cancer detection, prognosis, and post-treatment monitoring.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare chitosan-coated silver nanotriangles (AgNTs) and assess their computed tomography (CT) contrast property byin vitroandin vivoexperiments. AgNTs with a range of sizes were synthesized by a seed-based growth method, and subsequently characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. The x-ray attenuation capability of all prepared AgNTs was evaluated using micro CT. The CT contrast effect of AgNTs with the highest x-ray attenuation coefficient was investigated in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and a mouse model of breast cancer. The TEM results displayed that all synthesized AgNTs were triangular in shape and their mean edge lengths ranged from 60 to 149 nm. All AgNTs tested exhibited stronger x-ray attenuation capability than iohexol at the same mass concentration of the active elements, and the larger the AgNTs size, the higher the x-ray attenuation coefficient. AgNTs with the largest size were selected for further research, due to their strongest x-ray attenuation capability and best biocompatibility. The attenuation coefficient of breast cancer cells treated with AgNTs increased in a particle concentration-dependent manner.In vivoCT imaging showed that the contrast of the tumor injected with AgNTs was significantly enhanced. These findings indicated that AgNTs could be a promising candidate for highly efficient tumor CT contrast agents.

Abstract
Silver-based nanoparticles have attracted a broad interest due to their outstanding optical and chemical properties and have been studied for applications in many fields. While different synthetic routes have been explored, photochemical synthesis has attracted a special interest for its limited use of chemicals and ease of control over the shape and size of the nanoparticles. This paper reviews the main factors affecting the synthesis of anisotropic silver nanoparticles, such as irradiation wavelength, pH, etc., and the role of specific key molecules, such as citrate. The paper is structured into different sections depending on how the synthesis is initiated; thus, after the introduction, the photochemical conversion reaction starting from nanoparticles, or seeds, obtained chemically, is covered, followed by reactions from nanoparticles obtained by laser ablation by seedless reactions. After that, the applications proposed for anisotropic nanoparticles obtained by the methods discussed in the previous sections are briefly covered and, finally, the conclusions and the author’s perspectives are given.

Abstract
Photothermal effects of metal nanoparticles (NPs) are used for various biotechnological applications. Although NPs have been used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the effects of shape on the photothermal properties and its efficiency on PCR are less explored. The present study reports the synthesis of triangular gold and silver NPs, which can attain temperatures up to ∼90 °C upon irradiation with 808 nm laser. This photothermal property of synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated using various concentrations, irradiation time, and power to create a temperature profile required for variable-temperature PCR. This study reports a cost-effective, machine-free PCR using both gold and silver triangular NPs, with efficiency similar to that of a commercial PCR machine. Interestingly, addition of triangular NPs increases PCR efficiency in commercial PCR reactions. The higher PCR efficiencies are due to the direct binding and unfolding of double-stranded DNA as suggested by circular dichroism and UV spectroscopy. These findings suggest that triangular NPs can be used to develop cost-effective, robust machine-free PCR modules and can be used in various other photothermal applications.

Abstract
Laser synthesis emerges as a suitable technique to produce ligand-free nanoparticles, alloys and functionalized nanomaterials for catalysis, imaging, biomedicine, energy and environmental applications. In the last decade, laser ablation and nanoparticle generation in liquids has proven to be a unique and efficient technique to generate, excite, fragment and conjugate a large variety of nanostructures in a scalable and clean way. In this work, we give an overview on the fundamentals of pulsed laser synthesis of nanocolloids and new information about its scalability towards selected applications. Biomedicine, catalysis and sensing are the application areas mainly discussed in this review, highlighting advantages of laser-synthesized nanoparticles for these types of applications and, once partially resolved, the limitations to the technique for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Background The synergistic effect of nanomaterials and chemotherapeutics provides a novel strategy for the treatment of tumors. Silver nanotriangles (AgNTs) exhibited some unique properties in nanomedicine. Studies on the synergy of silver-based nanomaterials and anti-tumor drugs against gliomas are rare. Materials and Methods Chitosan-coated AgNTs were prepared, followed by characterization using transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The anti-glioma effect of cyclophosphamide (CTX), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin (OXA), doxorubicin (DOX) or gemcitabine (GEM) combined with AgNTs in different glioma cell lines (U87, U251 and C6) was assessed by the MTT assay to screen out a drug with the most broad-spectrum and strongest synergistic anti-glioma activity. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The possible underlying mechanisms of the synergy were further investigated with ROS scavenger and specific inhibitors of C-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 pathways. Results The synthesized AgNTs were mainly triangular and truncated triangular with an average edge length of 125 nm. A synergistic anti-glioma effect of AgNTs combined with CTX was not observed, and the synergism between AgNTs and 5-FU was cell type-specific. AgNTs combined with OXA, DOX or GEM displayed synergistic effects in various glioma cell lines, and the combination of AgNTs and GEM showed the strongest synergistic activity. A decrease in cell viability, loss of the MMP and an increase in apoptosis rate induced by this synergy could be significantly attenuated by the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine and JNK inhibitor SP600125. Conclusion Our results suggested that the combination of AgNTs and GEM possessed broad-spectrum and potent synergistic anti-glioma activity, resulting from cell apoptosis mediated by a ROS-dependent mitochondrial pathway in which JNK might be involved.

Abstract
A novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering/surface plasmon resonance (SERS/SPR) dual-mode biosensor prepared on a silver nanorod-covered silver nanohole (Ag NR-NH) array by surface modification of tetrahedral DNA probes is proposed for highly sensitive detecting nucleic acids by a special signal amplification strategy of DNA supersandwich. The Ag NR-NH with a large area and uniformly arrayed nanostructure possesses excellent anisotropic extraordinary optical transmission and strong localized surface plasmon resonance, which lead to sensitive SPR response to the change of a local refractive index and strong localized electric fields for excellent SERS activity. To obtain high sensitivity and specificity, smart tetrahedral DNA probes are immobilized onto the Ag NR-NH array and the DNA supersandwich sensing strategy, including the signal amplification of DNA concatamers, is used. About 10 times signal enhancement for SPR and 4 times for SERS are achieved by this sensing strategy. In the detection of the target DNA in the human serum, the two sensing modes have complementary performances, i.e., the limit of detection for the SPR array is high (0.51 pM), while for SERS, it is low (0.77 fM), but the specificity for SPR is much higher than that of SERS. This improves the robustness of the DNA sensors, and subsequent recovery tests also confirm good reliability of the biosensor. The proposed SERS/SPR dual-mode biosensor has a great potential for high performance and reliable detection of trace disease-related nucleic acid biomarkers in the serum and is a powerful sensing platform for early-stage disease diagnosis.

Abstract
In this investigation, a facile sonochemical route has been developed for the preparation of porous nickel molybdate nanosheets/chitosan nanocomposite (NiMoO4/CHIT) by using ammonium molybdate and nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate and as nickel and molybdate precursor, respectively (ultrasonic power 60 W/cm2 and frequency 20 kHz). The ultrasonic based materials preparation as a fast, convenient and economical approach has been widely used to generate novel nanomaterials. Herein, we report an efficient voltammetric sensor for amlodipine drug by using porous nickel molybdate nanosheets/chitosan nanocomposite (NiMoO4/CHIT). Its structure and properties were characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, elemental analysis and mapping. The electrochemical studies are indicated the NiMoO4/CHIT modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) exhibited the good performance towards electrocatalytic sensing of amlodipine drug. Consequently, a linear correlation between the anodic peak current with sensor concentration 0.025-373.6 µM with a detection limit and sensitivity of 4.62 nM and 4.753 µA·µM-1·cm-2, respectively. A voltammetry based drug analysis was found to be high sensitive and reproducible, which able to detect nanomolar concentration. Furthermore, the fabricated electrochemical sensor was applied in drug and biological samples.

Abstract
We report on topography-induced changes of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) enhanced luminescence of gold tip on SrTiO3 nanostructures with apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy (aSNOM) in tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) configuration. Our experimental and simulated results indicate that the averaged refractive index of the dielectric environment of the tip apex containing both air and SrTiO3 in variable volume ratios, is dependent on the topography of the sample. This reveals that the local topography has to be taken into consideration as an additional contribution to the position of the LSPR.

Abstract
Sharp branches of gold nanostars are critical in tuning the plasmonic properties of these nanostars and maximizing the activities in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The interaction between the capping ligands and nanostars plays an essential role in determining the morphology of the branches on the gold nanostars. In this Article, we show that 4-mercapto benzoic acid can effectively control the morphology of branched gold nanostars, and these gold nanostars can be used for the colloidal SERS detection of probe molecules at a nanomolar concentration. We also find that the sharp branches on gold nanostars will provide extra SERS activities as compared to the ones with a rough surface. Using the method of principal component analysis, we can easily distinguish the addition of 4-mercapto pyridine molecules at a concentration of 2 nM. Our work indicated the promising applications of these gold nanostars in colloidal SERS studies for various ultrasensitive chemical analyses.

Abstract
Biosensing based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) relies on concentrating light to a nanometeric spot and leads to a highly enhanced electromagnetic field near the metal nanostructure. Here, a design of plasmonic nanostructures based on rationally structured metal-dielectric combinations is presented, called composite scattering probes (CSPs), to generate an integrated multimodal biosensing platform featuring LSPR and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Specifically, CSP configurations are proposed, which have several prominent resonance peaks enabling higher tunability and sensitivity for self-referenced multiplexed analyte sensing. Using electron-beam evaporation and thermal dewetting, large-area, uniform, and tunable CSPs are fabricated, which are suitable for label-free LSPR and SERS measurements. The CSP prototypes are used to demonstrate refractive index sensing and molecular analysis using albumin as a model analyte. By using partial least squares on recorded absorption profiles, differentiation of subtle changes in refractive index (as low as 0.001) in the CSP milieu is demonstrated. Additionally, CSPs facilitate complementary untargeted plasmon-enhanced Raman measurements from the sample's compositional contributors. With further refinement, it is envisioned that the method may lead to a sensitive, versatile, and tunable platform for quantitative concentration determination and molecular fingerprinting, particularly where limited a priori information of the sample is available.

Abstract
The high sensitivity and long-term storage stability of a plasmonic substrate are vital for practical applications of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique in real-world analysis. In this study, a rationally designed, ternary film-packaged, silver-coated gold-nanoparticle (Au@Ag NP) plasmonic array was fabricated and applied as a stable and high-performance SERS chip for highly sensitive sensing of thiabendazole (TBZ) residues in fruit juices. The ternary films played different roles in the plasmonic chip: a newborn poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film serving as a template for fixing the self-assembled closely packed monolayer Au@Ag NP array that provided an intensive hot spot, a fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction adhesive film (qPCR film) acting as a carrier to retrieve the Au@Ag/PMMA film that was used to improve the robustness of the plasmonic array, and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film covered over the Au@Ag/PMMA/qPCR film performing as a barrier to improve the stability of the chip. The Au@Ag/PMMA/qPCR-PET film chip showed high sensitivity with an enhancement factor of 3.14 × 106, long-term storage stability without changing SERS signals for more than 2 months at room temperatures, and a low limit of detection for sensing TBZ in pear juice (21 ppb), orange juice (43 ppb), and grape juice (69 ppb). In addition, the procedure for fabricating the Au@Ag/PMMA/qPCR-PET film SERS chip was easy to handle, offering a new strategy to develop flexible and wearable sensors for on-site monitoring of chemical contaminants with a portable Raman spectrometer in the future.

Abstract
Biosensors presenting high sensitivity for the detection of biomolecules are very promising for diseases diagnosis. Nowadays, there is a need for the development of biosensors with fast, trustworthy diagnosis and mostly with low cost, mainly for applications in developing countries. Label-free plasmonic biosensors are good candidates to reach out all these characteristics due to the possibility of spectral tunability, fast sensor response, real-time detection, strong enhancement of the local electric field and excellent adaptability to assemble different nanobiotechnology architectures. In this paper, two different configurations for LSPR based biosensor were developed by using solution-phase gold nanorods (S-P-AuNRs) and AuNRs-chip. The LSPR sensitivities were evaluated by monitoring shifts in the longitudinal plasmon band with changes in the refractive index of the medium surrounding the nanoparticles. AuNRs-chip presented higher sensitivity of 297 nm RIU-1 (refractive index unit) against 196 nm RIU-1 for S-P-AuNRs. Figure of merit (FOM) for AuNRs-chip and S-P-AuNRs were 3.0 and 2.2 RIU-1, respectively. This result was assigned to the coupling of the lower energy longitudinal LSPR mode of propagation for AuNRs-chip among nearby nanoparticles in the film. In addition, an improvement of at least 18% in sensitivity was obtained comparing to others AuNRs based assay with similar aspect ratio. FOM is more appropriate to compare different approaches, in this case, the proposed biosensor reached improvements of at least 114%, presenting higher values even when compared to AuNRs of higher aspect ratio. As a proof of concept, AuNRs surface was chemically modified using mercaptoundecanoic acid followed activation with ethylcarbodiimide and N-hidroxysuccinimide to allow the interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) antibody and correspondent antigen. Both configurations studied resulted in efficient plasmonic biosensors, presenting high sensitivity for changes in the refractive index and for surface binding with anti-BSA.

Abstract
The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) property of metallic nanoparticles is widely exploited for chemical and biological sensing. Selective biosensing of molecules using functionalized nanoparticles has become a major research interdisciplinary area between chemistry, biology and material science. Noble metals, especially gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles, exhibit unique and tunable plasmonic properties; the control over these metal nanostructures size and shape allows manipulating their LSPR and their response to the local environment. In this review, we will focus on Ag-based nanoparticles, a metal that has probably played the most important role in the development of the latest plasmonic applications, owing to its unique properties. We will first browse the methods for AgNPs synthesis allowing for controlled size, uniformity and shape. Ag-based biosensing is often performed with coated particles; therefore, in a second part, we will explore various coating strategies (organics, polymers, and inorganics) and their influence on coated-AgNPs properties. The third part will be devoted to the combination of gold and silver for plasmonic biosensing, in particular the use of mixed Ag and AuNPs, i.e., AgAu alloys or Ag-Au core@shell nanoparticles will be outlined. In the last part, selected examples of Ag and AgAu-based plasmonic biosensors will be presented.

Abstract
All cells release a multitude of nanoscale extracellular vesicles (nEVs) into circulation, offering immense potential for new diagnostic strategies. Yet, clinical translation for nEVs remains a challenge due to their vast heterogeneity, our insufficient ability to isolate subpopulations, and the low frequency of disease-associated nEVs in biofluids. The growing field of nanoplasmonics is poised to address many of these challenges. Innovative materials engineering approaches based on exploiting nanoplasmonic phenomena, i.e., the unique interaction of light with nanoscale metallic materials, can achieve unrivaled sensitivity, offering real-time analysis and new modes of medical and biological imaging. We begin with an introduction into the basic structure and function of nEVs before critically reviewing recent studies utilizing nanoplasmonic platforms to detect and characterize nEVs. For the major techniques considered, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localized SPR, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), we introduce and summarize the background theory before reviewing the studies applied to nEVs. Along the way, we consider notable aspects, limitations, and considerations needed to apply plasmonic technologies to nEV detection and analysis.

Abstract
Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have application potential in diverse areas ranging from wound healing to catalysis and sensing. The possibility for optimizing the physical, chemical and optical properties for an application by tailoring the shape and size of silver nanoparticles has motived much research on methods for synthesis of size- and shape-controlled AgNPs. The shape and size of AgNPs are reported to vary depending on choice of the Ag precursor salt, reducing agent, stabilizing agent and on the synthesis technique used. This chapter provides a detailed review on various synthesis approaches that may be used for synthesis of AgNPs of desired size and shape. Silver nanoparticles may be synthesized using diverse routes, including, physical, chemical, photochemical, biological and microwave -based techniques. Synthesis of AgNPs of diverse shapes, such as, nanospheres, nanorods, nanobars, nanoprisms, decahedral nanoparticles and triangular bipyramids is also discussed for chemical-, photochemical- and microwave-based synthesis routes. The choice of chemicals used for reduction and stabilization of nanoparticles is found to influence their shape and size significantly. A discussion on the mechanism of synthesis of AgNPs through nucleation and growth processes is discussed for AgNPs of varying shape and sizes so as to provide an insight on the various synthesis routes. Techniques, such as, electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and crystallography that can be used for characterizing the AgNPs formed in terms of their shape, sizes, crystal structure and chemical composition are also discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
The detection of cancer biomarkers represents an important aspect of cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Recently, the concept of liquid biopsy has been introduced whereby diagnosis and prognosis are performed by means of analyzing biological fluids obtained from patients to detect and quantify circulating cancer biomarkers. Unlike conventional biopsy whereby primary tumor cells are analyzed, liquid biopsy enables the detection of a wide variety of circulating cancer biomarkers, including microRNA (miRNA), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), proteins, exosomes and circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Among the various techniques that have been developed to detect circulating cancer biomarkers, nanoplasmonic sensors represent a promising measurement approach due to high sensitivity and specificity as well as ease of instrumentation and operation. In this review, we discuss the relevance and applicability of three different categories of nanoplasmonic sensing techniques, namely surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), for the detection of different classes of circulating cancer biomarkers.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is a common cause of cancer death in women and is associated with the highest mortality rates of all gynecological malignancies. Carboplatin (CBP) is the most used cytotoxic agent in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Herein, we design and assess a CBP nanotherapeutic delivery system which allows combinatorial functionalities of chemotherapy, pH sensing, and multimodal traceable properties inside live NIH:OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells. In our design, a pH-sensitive Raman reporter, 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4MBA) is anchored onto the surface of chitosan-coated silver nanotriangles (chit-AgNTs) to generate a robust surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) traceable system. To endow this nanoplatform with chemotherapeutic abilities, CBP is then loaded to 4MBA-labeled chit-AgNTs (4MBA-chit-AgNTs) core under alkaline conditions. The uptake and tracking potential of CBP-4MBA-chit-AgNTs at different Z-depths inside live ovarian cancer cells is evaluated by dark-field and differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy. The ability of CBP-4MBA-chit-AgNTs to operate as near-infrared (NIR)-responsive contrast agents is validated using two noninvasive techniques: two-photon (TP)-excited fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and confocal Raman microscopy (CRM). The most informative data about the precise localization of nanocarriers inside cells correlated with intracellular pH sensing is provided by multivariate analysis of Raman spectra collected by scanning CRM. The in vitro cell proliferation assay clearly shows the effectiveness of the prepared nanocarriers in inhibiting the growth of NIH:OVCAR-3 cancer cells. We anticipate that this class of nanocarriers holds great promise for application in image-guided ovarian cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
A facile, single-step, non-seeded photochemical protocol for producing a new type of anisotropic silver nanostructure, "nanoworms", with curved longer dimensions and smooth, rounded edges. The nanoworms exhibit surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption in the near-infrared window (NIRW) region and are stabilized using biocompatible polymer chitosan, rendering biocompatibility and amplified safety for biological utility of the composition. Both NIRW-absorbing nanoworms and visible-absorbing nanospheres herein are attained exclusively by employing green chemistry principles. Contrary to seed-mediated or polyol techniques, the protocol demonstrates the feasibility to selectively synthesize NIRW-absorbing silver nanostructures in a single step and in complete absence of any known reducing agent. The effect of irradiation, pH, and concentration of starting materials on the formation of nanoworms vs nanospheres is investigated in detail and analyzed by optical spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The dominant SPR obtained in the NIRW region of the nanoworms results from anisotropic AgNPs, as opposed to agglomeration. From TEM images, it is also very clear that a strong correlation exists between the SPR peak maximum and the size distribution of the anisotropic nanoworm structures, with SPR peak maximum exhibiting red shift with the increase in the size of the nanoworm population. Although there is significant size variation of different nanoworms of a given population, all samples exhibit remarkable stability. The nanoworms retained their NIRW-absorbing features even at physiological pH and at a constant ionic strength. The nanodispersions also retained their SPR features in King's B medium. Antipathogenic assays reveal that the anisotropic NIRW-absorbing nanoworms exhibit the highest growth inhibition compared to other spherical nanosilver and molecular silver forms on Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola ES4326 and P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000. These results underscore shape effects of AgNPs and suggest that nanoworms favor the adhesion to (curved) rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria, resulting in the highest inhibition compared to isotropic AgNPs (smaller spheres), sulfa antibiotics (silver sulfadiazine), and silver ions (AgNO3).

Abstract
Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. Its safety for both human health and aquatic biomes is a subject of wide debate. There are limits to glyphosate’s presence in bodies of water, and it is usually detected through complex analytical procedures. In this work, the presence of glyphosate is detected directly through optical interrogation of aqueous solution. For this purpose, silver nanoparticles were produced by pulsed laser ablation in liquids. Limits of detection of 0.9 mg/L and 3.2 mg/L were obtained with UV-Vis extinction and Surface Enhanced Raman spectroscopies, respectively. The sensing mechanism was evaluated in the presence of potential interferents as well as with commercial glyphosate-based herbicides.

Abstract
We proposed a facile green synthesis system to synthesize large-scale Ag hemi-mesoparticles monolayer on Cu foil. Ag hemi-mesoparticles have different surface morphologies on their surfaces, including ridge-like, meatball-like, and fluffy-like shapes. In the reaction, silver nitrate was reduced by copper at room temperature in dimethyl sulfoxide via the galvanic displacement reaction. The different surface morphologies of the Ag hemi-mesoparticles were adjusted by changing the reaction time, and the hemi-mesoparticle surface formed fluffy-spherical nanoprotrusions at longer reaction time. At the same time, we explored the growth mechanism of silver hemi-mesoparticles with different surface morphologies. With 4-mercaptobenzoic acid as Raman probe molecules, the fluffy-like silver hemi-mesoparticles monolayer with the best activity of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the enhancement factor is up to 7.33 × 10(7) and the detection limit can reach 10(-10)M. SERS measurements demonstrate that these Ag hemi-mesoparticles can serve as sensitive SERS substrates. At the same time, using finite element method, the distribution of the localized electromagnetic field near the particle surface was simulated to verify the enhanced mechanism. This study helps us to understand the relationship between morphology Ag hemi-mesoparicles and the properties of SERS.

Abstract
A universal chitosan-assisted method was developed to synthesize various Ag-including heterostructured nanocrystals, in which chelation probably plays a vital role. The as-prepared Ag/Pd heterostructured nanocrystals show outstanding properties when used as bifunctional nanocomposites in label-free in situ SERS monitoring of Pd-catalyzed reaction.

Abstract
This review focuses on recent developments in hybrid and nanostructured substrates for SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) studies. Thus substrates composed of at least two distinct types of materials, in which one is a SERS active metal, are considered here aiming at their use as platforms for chemical detection in a variety of contexts. Fundamental aspects related to the SERS effect and plasmonic behaviour of nanometals are briefly introduced. The materials described include polymer nanocomposites containing metal nanoparticles and coupled inorganic nanophases. Chemical approaches to tailor the morphological features of these substrates in order to get high SERS activity are reviewed. Finally, some perspectives for practical applications in the context of chemical detection of analytes using such hybrid platforms are presented.
