Abstract
The intrinsic toxicity of heavy metal ions to human health or other species calls for the need to develop an analytical tool for the easy and rapid detection of these ions based on inexpensive and stable nanomaterials. This article describes the potential utility of stable Cu nanoparticles (CuNPs) in the detection of toxic metal ions by solution and paper strip-based methods. For this, first, a dodecyl sulfate ion-stabilized CuNP (DS-CuNP) colloid was synthesized by a chemical reduction method. This was followed by treating the dispersion with heavy metal ions and monitoring the spectral change by spectrophotometric and colorimetric techniques. Among a host of metal ions, Hg2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ have been found to significantly affect the surface plasmon resonance band of CuNPs by concomitantly altering the color of its solution. Notably, the brownish color of CuNP solution changed readily to milky white in the presence of Hg2+. Furthermore, the fabricated brownish-yellow test paper strips containing DS-CuNPs transformed to a prominent white color in the presence of a few drops of Hg2+ solution. This change in color of the paper strips could be visually detected by the naked eye. The experiments involving the detection of the various ions were carried out by optimizing the experimental conditions qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The limit of detection of the analytes (metal ions) has been found to be 10 μM. Routine analytical techniques like UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy formed part of the experiments.

Abstract
Rapid, ultrasensitive and reliable detection of mercury ions (Hg2+) by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is of importance, but is restricted by the extremely low Raman cross section of the Hg2+. Here, we report a facile methodology that can realize such detection based on the organometallic Cu(CH4N2S)Cl · 0.5H2O nanobelts and SERS. In the assay, Hg2+ react with the nanobelts coated on a SERS active gold nanoparticle (NP) film to form ultrafine HgS NPs in situ. Subsequently, solid HgS is SERS determined to mirror the presence of Hg2+. Importantly, such detection is rapid and ultrasensitive. Within 10 min, limit of detection (LoD) of ppt level can be realized. The high detection efficiency is attributed to the superhydrophilicity, rich micropores and ultrathin nature of the organometallic nanobelts besides the strong SERS effect of Au NP film. In addition, this detection is highly resistant to various metal ions (Cu2+, Fe3+, Bi3+, Cr3+, Na+, Ni2+, Cd2+, etc) and is highly reliable in actual water (lake and tap water). Finally, influences of some substrate parameters and detection conditions on the test results are revealed. The optimal thickness of the gold NP film is about 80 nm, and the optimal wavelength of excitation light is about 633 nm. A small amount of Cu(CH4N2S)Cl · 0.5H2O nanobelts or a large volume of Hg2+ contaminated solution contributes to low LoDs. We believe that this work provides a rapid and sensitive detection for Hg2+.

Abstract
In this study, we present a valence states modulation strategy for picomole level assay of Hg2+ using directional self-assembly of gold nanorods (AuNRs) as signal readout. Hg2+ ions are first controllably reduced to Hg+ ions by appropriate ascorbic acid, and the reduced Hg+ ions react with the tips of the preadded AuNRs and form gold amalgam. Such Hg+ decorated AuNRs then end-to-end self-assemble into one-dimensional architectures by the bridging effects of lysine based on the high affinity of NH2-Hg+ interactions. Correspondingly, the AuNRs' longitudinal surface plasmon resonance is gradually reduced and a new broad band appears at 900-1100 nm region simultaneously. The resulting distinctly ratiometric signal output is not only favorable for Hg2+ ions detection but competent for their quantification. Under optimal conditions, the linear range is 22.8 pM to 11.4 nM, and the detection limit is as low as 8.7 pM. Various transition/heavy metal ions, such as Pb2+, Ti2+, Co2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Ba2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, Al3+, Cu2+, Ag+, and Au3+, do not interfere with the assay. Because of ultrahigh sensitivity and excellent selectivity, the proposed system can be employed for assaying ultratrace of Hg2+ containing in drinking and commonly environmental water samples, which is difficult to be achieved by conventional colorimetric systems. These results indicate that the present platform possesses specific advantages and potential applications in the assay of ultratrace amounts of Hg2+ ions.

Abstract
A colorimetric assay is proposed for the selective detection of Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) via the aggregation-induced color change of gallic acid capped gold nanoparticles (GA-AuNPs). The AuNPs are characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). To detect Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) coexisting in a sample, citrate and thiosulfate were applied to mask Cr(vi) for the detection of Cr(iii), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) was applied to mask Cr(iii) for the detection of Cr(vi). At optimized experimental conditions, the selectivity of these AuNPs-based detection systems is excellent for Cr(iii) and/or Cr(vi) compared with other types of metal ions. The limit of detections (LODs) of a mixture of Cr(iii) and Cr(vi), Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) by eye vision are 1.5, 1.5 and 2 μM, respectively, and those by UV-vis spectroscopy are 0.05, 0.1 and 0.1 μM, respectively. The minimum detectable concentrations for Cr(iii) or Cr(vi) are all below the guideline value set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The applicability of the AuNPs-based colorimetric sensor is also validated by the detection of Cr(iii) and Cr(vi) in electroplating wastewater and real water samples with high recoveries.

Abstract
With increasing trends of global population growth, urbanization, pollution over-exploitation, and climate change, the safe water supply has become a global issue and is threatening our society in terms of sustainable development. Therefore, there is a growing need for a water-monitoring platform with the capability of rapidness, specificity, low-cost, and robustness. This review summarizes the recent developments in the design and application of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) based optical assays to detect contaminants in aqueous media with a high performance. First, a brief discussion on the correlation between the optical reading strategy and the optical properties of AuNPs is presented. Then, we summarize the principle behind AuNP-based optical assays to detect different contaminants, such as toxic metal ion, anion, and pesticides, according to different optical reading strategies: colorimetry, scattering, and fluorescence. Finally, the comparison of these assays and the outlook of AuNP-based optical detection are discussed.

Abstract
As a pathogenic factor of the Alzheimer׳s disease, aluminum has been associated with the damage of the central nervous system in humans. In this study, we propose a new facile and rapid colorimetric detection method of Al(3+) with excellent selectivity and high sensitivity based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) stabilized by reduced glutathione (GSH) in the presence of l-cysteine (Cys). The new mechanism of our Al(3+) detection system based on GSH-AgNPs, i.e., aggregation of smaller etched GSH-AgNPs, are confirmed by TEM, EDS and DLS. The aggregation of smaller etched GSH-AgNPs results in obvious color change of the nanoparticle dispersion from yellow to reddish brown, and red shift and intensity decrease of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption. The GSH concentration, Cys concentration and pH value of the GSH-AgNPRs-based detection system are respectively optimized to be 10.0 mM, 50.0 mM and 6.0 according to the sensing effect of Al(3+). At the optimized conditions, the selectivity of the GSH-AgNPs detection system for Al(3+) is excellent compared with other ions including K(+), Mg(2+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Pb(2+), Ca(2+), Ba(2+), Cu(2+), Cr(3+), Hg(2+), Ni(2+), [Formula: see text] , [Formula: see text] , [Formula: see text] , [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] . Furthermore, this detection system is very sensitive for Al(3+). The limit of detection (LOD) is 1.2 µM by the naked eyes and 0.16 µM by UV-vis spectra, which are both much lower than the national drinking water standards (7.4 µM). Furthermore, the UV-vis detection offers a good linear detection range from 0.4 to 4.0 µM (R(2)=0.9924), which indicates that our developed detection system can also be used for the quantitative analysis of Al(3+). The detection results of real water samples indicate that this method can be used for real water detection.

An ultrasensitive quantum dots fluorescent polarization immunoassay based on the antibody modified Au nanoparticles amplifying for the detection of adenosine triphosphate.

Abstract
In this work, an ultrasensitive fluorescent polarization immunoassay (FPIA) method based on the quantum dot/aptamer/antibody/gold nanoparticles ensemble has been developed for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). DNA hybridization is formed when ATP is present in the PBS solution containing the DNA-conjugated quantum dots (QDs) and antibody-AuNPs. The substantial sensitivity improvement of the antibody-AuNPs-enhanced method is mainly attributed to the slower rotation of fluorescent unit when QDs-labeled oligonucleotides hybridize with antibody modified the gold nanoparticle. As a result, the fluorescent polarization (FP) values of the system increase significantly. Under the optimal conditions, a linear response with ATP concentration is ranged from 8×10(-12) M to 2.40×10(-4) M. The detection limit reached as low as 1.8 pM. The developed work provides a sensitive and selective immunoassay protocol for ATP detection, which could be applied in more bioanalytical systems.

Abstract
The development of rapid, specific, cost-effective, and robust tools in monitoring Hg(2+) levels in both environmental and biological samples is of utmost importance due to the severe mercury toxicity to humans. A number of techniques exist, but the colorimetric assay, which is reviewed herein, is shown to be a possible tool in monitoring the level of mercury. These assays allow transforming target sensing events into color changes, which have applicable potential for in-the-field application through naked-eye detection. Specifically, plasmonic nanoparticle-based colorimetric assay exhibits a much better propensity for identifying various targets in terms of sensitivity, solubility, and stability compared to commonly used organic chromophores. In this review, recent progress in the development of gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric assays for Hg(2+) is summarized, with a particular emphasis on examples of functionalized gold nanoparticle systems with oligonucleotides, oligopeptides, and functional molecules. Besides highlighting the current design principle for plasmonic nanoparticle-based colorimetric probes, the discussions on challenges and the prospect of next-generation probes for in-the-field applications are also presented.

Abstract
A simple, rapid colorimetric detection method for Pb(2+) in aqueous solution has been developed by using sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) modified gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). Na2S2O3 was added into the Au NP solution and thiosulfate ions (S2O3(2-)) were adsorbed on the surface of the Au NPs due to electrostatic interactions. Au atoms on the surface of the Au NPs were then oxidized to Au(i) by the O2 that existed in the solution in presence of thiosulfate. The addition of Pb(2+) (the final concentration was lower than 10 μM), accelerated the leaching of the Au NPs, and Pb-Au alloys also formed on the surface of the Au NPs. There was an obvious decrease in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption of the Au NPs. The lowest concentration for Pb(2+) that could be detected by the naked eye was 0.1 μM and using UV-vis spectroscopy was 40 nM. This is lower than the lead toxic level defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), which is 75 nM. In this method, CTAB, as a stabilizing agent for Au NPs, can accelerate the adsorption of S2O3(2-) on the surface of the Au NPs, which shortened the detection time to within 30 min. Moreover, this detection method is simple, cheap and environmentally friendly.

Abstract
A simple colorimetric approach for mercury ion (Hg(2+)) sensing was developed that was based on the Hg(2+)-induced deprotection and morphology transition of 1-dodecanethiol (C(12)H(25)SH)-capped silver nanoprisms (Ag NPRs) upon the presence of iodides at room temperature. The abstraction of C(12)H(25)SH from the surface of Ag NPRs by Hg(2+) led to their deprotection of Ag NPRs and the formation of complexation between silver ions and excess iodide ions. Also, the silver atoms were consumed and moved from the surface of Ag NPRs, accompanying the changes in the particle morphology that resulted in a change of color and UV-vis absorption spectra of the colloidal solution. With increasing concentrations of Hg(2+) from 10 to 500 nM, the surface plasma resonance spectral band of Ag NPRs emerged as a blue shift and exhibited a good linear relationship, and the limit of detection was 3.3 nM. Furthermore, the developed method was applied for detecting Hg(2+) in different real water samples with satisfying recoveries over 92%.

Abstract
We previously reported a colorimetric assay method for Co(2+) based on the thioglycolic acid (TGA) functionalized hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) modified Au NPs. However, the detection limit of 3×10(-7) M was still higher than that of the sanitary standard for drinking water (6.8×10(-8) M). In addition, the interactions between the modifier and Au NPs, and between the modifier-Au NPs and Co(2+) remain to be clarified and confirmed. Thus, in the present study, the modified Au NPs solution was dialyzed and its detection limit was optimized to be 5×10(-10) M. The interactions between the modifier and Au NPs, and between the modifier-Au NPs and Co(2+) were investigated in both experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations, consistently confirming that the Au NPs were modified by the negatively charged anions of [SCH(2)CO(2)](2-) through Au-S bonds and Co(2+) was recognized by the modifier-Au NPs through Co-O chelate bonds. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggest that there were no chemical bonds formed between CTAB and Co(2+). Moreover, the colorimetric assay of Co(2+) using the modified Au NPs has been proved to be a rapid, very sensitive and highly selective method. The validation of the method was carried out by analysis of a certified reference material, GSBZ 50030-94.

Abstract
Four different sized gold nanoparticles (14 nm, 16 nm, 35 nm and 38 nm) were prepared to conjugate an antibody for a gold nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic assay which has many applications in both basic research and clinical diagnosis. This study focuses on the conjugation efficiency of the antibody with different sized gold nanoparticles. The effect of factors such as pH value and concentration of antibody has been quantificationally discussed using spectra methods after adding 1 wt% NaCl which induced gold nanoparticle aggregation. It was found that different sized gold nanoparticles had different conjugation efficiencies under different pH values and concentrations of antibody. Among the four sized gold nanoparticles, the 16 nm gold nanoparticles have the minimum requirement for antibody concentrations to avoid aggregation comparing to other sized gold nanoparticles but are less sensitive for detecting the real sample compared to the 38 nm gold nanoparticles. Consequently, different sized gold nanoparticles should be labeled with antibody under optimal pH value and optimal concentrations of antibody. It will be helpful for the application of antibody-labeled gold nanoparticles in the fields of clinic diagnosis, environmental analysis and so on in future.
