Alkoxysilane-Mediated Decoration of Si Nanowires Vertical Arrays with Au Nanoparticles as Improved SERS-Active Platforms. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:16685. [PMID: 38069007 PMCID: PMC10706837 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The search for improved transducers to fabricate better-performing (bio)sensors is a challenging but rewarding endeavor aiming to better diagnose and treat diseases. In this paper, we report on the decoration of a dense vertical array of ultrathin silicon nanowires (Si NWs), produced by metal-assisted chemical etching, with 20 nm gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. To optimize the production of a uniform 3D SERS active platform, we tested different Si NW surface functionalizations with various alkoxysilanes before Au decoration. Scanning electron microscopy investigations confirm that Au NPs decorate both bare and (3-glycidiloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS)-modified Si NWs with a high surface coverage uniformity. The SERS response of the decorated NWs was probed using a model dye system (methylene blue; MB) at 633 and 785 nm excitation wavelengths. The GPTMS-modified NWs present the highest enhancements of 2.9 and 2.6 for the 450 cm-1 and 1625 cm-1 peaks under 785 nm excitation and of 10.8 and 5.3 for the 450 cm-1 and 1625 cm-1 peaks under 633 nm excitation. These results demonstrate the perspective role of Si NWs decorated with Au NPs as a low-cost 3D SERS platform.

Abstract
The consumption of food infected with food-borne pathogens has become a global public health problem. Therefore, it is monitor food-borne infections to avoid health and financial consequences. The rapid detection and differentiation of bacteria for biomedical and food safety applications continues to be a significant challenge. Herein, we present a label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering approach for separating harmful bacteria from food. The method relies on the ascorbic acid reduction method to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) multi-hole filter membrane chip (AgNPs@PDMS multi-hole filter membrane chip). Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used, followed by multivariate statistical analysis to differentiate five important food-borne pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium difficiles and Clostridium perfringens. The results demonstrated that compared to normal Raman signals, the intensity of the SERS signal was greatly enhanced with an analytical enhancement factor of 5.2 × 103. The spectral ranges of 400-1800 cm-1 were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and stepwise linear discriminant analysis (SWLDA) were used to determine the optimal parameters for the discrimination of food-borne pathogens. The first three principal components (PC1, PC2, and PC3) accounted for 87.3% of the total variance in the spectra. The established SWLDA model had 100% accuracy and cross-validation accuracy, which accurately distinguished the SERS spectra of the five species. In conclusion, the SERS technology based on the AgNPs@PDMS multi-hole filter membrane chip was useful for the rapid identification of food-borne pathogens and can be employed for food quality management.

Abstract
In this work, an ordered metal-semiconductor molecular system was introduced, and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) was employed to study the charge transfer (CT) at the metal-semiconductor interface based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra. The thickness of the sputtered FeS was controlled so that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag underwent a displacement change, and the contribution of the SPR to the CT was studied through surface plasmon (SP) absorption. Furthermore, SERS spectra obtained at different excitation wavelengths were used to calculate the degree of CT in the layer-by-layer sputtering system. When Ag was irradiated with incident light, the strong SPR of Ag was excited, generating an increased electromagnetic field (EM). This amplified EM generated hot electrons at the interface between the FeS and Ag, and then the hot electrons were rearranged. Therefore, we established a simple and effective method for studying the impact of SPR on interfacial CT and analyzed the SERS spectra in accordance with Lombardi's basic theory and the physical effects associated with SPR. This theory is in good agreement with the experimental results. On this basis, we also proposed a mechanism by which SPR impacts the CT, which is beneficial for studying interfacial CT and obtaining an in-depth understanding of the CT mechanism in SERS. This work also enables the expansion of the applications of the SERS technique in the field of nanomaterials.

Abstract
In this work, a new and easy methodology to determine uric acid in relevant samples using Raman spectroelectrochemistry is presented. The spectroelectrochemistry experiment is based on the in-situ formation of a suitable substrate that enables the enhancement of the Raman signal of an analyte during the oxidation stage of a silver electrode. This phenomenon is known as electrochemical surface oxidation enhanced Raman scattering (EC-SOERS) and has proved to be useful in quantitative analysis using disposable screen printed electrodes. The successful combination of EC-SOERS with PARAFAC analysis allows the determination of uric acid in a relevant complex sample avoiding the use of standard addition method and without using a baseline correction, which simplifies the application of such methodology in routine analysis.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a simple, novel, and highly selective plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs)-based colorimetric nanoprobe for the detection of Al(III) ions in aqueous solution. 5-Hydroxy indole-2-carboxylic acid (5H-I2CA) was utilized as a reducing as well as capping agent for the preparation of silver nanoparticles (5H-I2CA@AgNPs). The interaction between Al(III) and AgNPs was determined by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering techniques. The absorption values (A 452-410) of the 5H-I2CA@AgNPs solution exhibited a linear correlation with Al(III) ion concentrations within the linear range of 0.1-50 nM. An outstanding selectivity toward Al(III) was demonstrated by the proposed nanoprobe in the presence of interfering cations. Kinetics was used to study the selectivity of nanoprobe, which indicated second-order kinetics, and the rate constant was very high. The activation energies of Al(III) were found to be the lowest compared to those of other interfering ions. The results of kinetics and thermodynamic study of Al(III) were compared to those of four other competing ions. The thermodynamic data reveal that the interaction best suited for Al(III) ion compared to other metal ions (Al(III) > Co(II) > Hg(II) > Cr(III) ≅ Cr(VI)). The lower detection limit of the proposed nanoprobe for Al(III) is 1 nM. The present method also holds practical applicability for real water samples.

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs), in particular Si NWs, have attracted much attention in the last decade for their unique electronic properties and potential applications in several emerging areas. With the introduction of heterostructures (HSs) on NWs, new functionalities are obtained and the device performance is improved significantly in many cases. Due to the easy fabrication techniques, excellent optoelectronic properties and compatibility of forming HSs with different inorganic/organic materials, Si NW HSs have been utilized in various configurations and device architectures. Herein, we review the recent developments in Si NW HS-based devices including the fabrication techniques, properties (e.g., light emitting, antireflective, photocatalytic, electrical, photovoltaic, sensing etc) and related emerging applications in energy generation, conversion, storage, and environmental cleaning and monitoring. In particular, recent advances in Si NW HS-based solar photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, thermoelectrics, Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, hydrogen generation, artificial photosynthesis, photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes in water treatment, chemical and gas sensors, biomolecular sensors for microbial monitoring etc have been addressed in detail. The problems and challenges in utilizing Si NW HSs in device applications and the key parameters to improve the device performance are pointed out.

Abstract
Limitations of achieving highly sensitive and stable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate greatly concern the suitable method for fabrication of large-area plasmonic nanostructures. Herein we report a simple approach using template-based synthesis to create a highly ordered two-dimensional array of gold-silver alloy nanowires, followed by the controlled dealloying process. This particular step of mild acid etching (15%v/v nitric acid for 5 min) allowed the formation of Raman hot spots on the nanowire tips while maintaining the integrity of highly active alloy composition and rigid nanowire array structure. Full consideration of SERS substrate performance was accomplished using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) as a probe molecule. Exceedingly higher SERS signal (150-fold) can be achieved with respect to typical gold film substrate. Moreover, an excellent stability of SERS substrate was also determined for over 3 months storage time. In contrast to the previous studies which stability improvement was accomplished at a cost of sensitivity reduction, the simultaneous improvement of sensitivity and stability makes the controlled dealloying process an excellent choice of SERS substrate fabrication. In addition, uniformity and reproducibility studies indicated satisfactory results with the acceptable values of relative standard deviation.

Abstract
Hybrid structures containing plasmonic and photonic components can enhance light-matter interaction through both photonic and plasmonic modes and potentially their interactions. In this article, we systematically investigate the optical properties of nanoparticle-tipped silicon nanowires (NPTWs) and characterize their ability to enhance the fluorescence signal of two cyanine dyes (Cy3 and Cy5) selectively bound to the gold tip. Although both gold and silicon components contribute to the fluorescence signal enhancement, the experimentally observed strong morphology dependence of the fluorescence emission enhancement is demonstrated to depend on tunable leaky modes of the silicon nanowires. The ability to encode emission fluorescence enhancement in the structure of NPTWs is of high relevance for multiparametric biosensing and imaging.

Functionalization of silicon nanowire arrays by silver nanoparticles for the laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry analysis of vegetable oils. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2016; 51:849-856. [PMID: 27476797 DOI: 10.1002/jms.3826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2016] [Revised: 07/15/2016] [Accepted: 07/25/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
In this work, novel hybrid nanostructured surfaces, consisting of dense arrays of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) functionalized by Ag nanoparticles (AgNP/SiNWs), were used for the laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-TOF MS) analysis of some typical unsaturated food components (e.g. squalene, oleic acid) to assess their MS performance. The synthesis of the novel platforms is an easy, cost-effective process based on the maskless wet-etching preparation at room temperature of SiNWs followed by their decoration with AgNPs, produced by pulsed laser deposition. No particular surface pretreatment or addition of organic matrixes/ionizers was necessary. Moreover, oil extracts (e.g. extra virgin olive oil, peanut oil) could be investigated on AgNP/SiNWs surfaces, revealing their different MS profiles. It was shown that such substrates operate at reduced laser energy, typically generating intense silver cluster ions and analyte adducts. A comparison with bare SiNWs was also performed, indicating the importance of AgNP density on NW surface. In this case, desorption/ionization on silicon was invoked as probable LDI mechanism. Finally, the influence of SiNW length and surface composition on MS results was assessed. The combination of typical properties of SiNWs (hydrophobicity, antireflectivity) with ionization ability of metal NPs can be a valid methodology for the further development of nanostructured surfaces in LDI-TOF MS applications.

Abstract
We report on highly disordered array of Au coated silicon nanowires (Au/SiNWs) as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe combined with electrochemical detection for biosensing applications. SiNWs, few microns long, were grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on common microscope slides and covered by Au evaporated film, 150 nm thick. The capability of the resulting composite structure to act as SERS biosensor was studied via the biotin-avidin interaction: the Raman signal obtained from this structure allowed to follow each surface modification step as well as to detect efficiently avidin molecules over a broad range of concentrations from micromolar down to the nanomolar values. The metallic coverage wrapping SiNWs was exploited also to obtain a dual detection of the same bioanalyte by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Indeed, the SERS signal and impedance modifications induced by the biomolecule perturbations on the metalized surface of the NWs were monitored on the very same three-electrode device with the Au/SiNWs acting as both working electrode and SERS probe.

Abstract
How to concentrate target molecules on the surface of a SERS substrate is a key problem in the practical application of SERS. Herein, we designed for the first time a pollutant capturing surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate, namely porous BN microfibers uniformly decorated with Ag nanoparticles, in which the BN microfibers adsorb pollutants, while the Ag nanoparticles provide SERS activity. This SERS substrate captures pollutants from an aqueous solution completely and accumulates them all on its surface without introducing noise signals. The pores of BN protect the silver particles from aggregation which makes BN/Ag a stable and recyclable SERS substrate. What's more, while the dyes are thoroughly concentrated from a diluted solution, the SERS detection limit is easily enhanced, from 10(-6) M to 10(-9) M.

Abstract
Here we present an in-depth and comprehensive study of the effect of the geometry and morphology of nanoarray (NA) substrates on their surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance. The high-quality SERS-active NA substrates of various unit shapes and pitches are assembled through electron beam lithography and fabricated by electron beam physical vapor deposition. Good agreement is found on comparing the Raman scattering results with the integrals of the fourth power of local electric fields from the three-dimensional numerical simulations. A novel type of hybrid NA substrate composed of disordered nanoparticles and a periodic NA is fabricated and characterized. The morphology of NAs has little influence on the SERS performance of hybrid NA substrates and they perform better than both their counterparts pure NA and disordered nanoparticle substrates.

Abstract
A sensitive, simple and novel method was developed to determine 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2MBT) in water samples. This method was based on the interaction between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 2MBT followed by increasing of the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensity of nanoparticles. The change in RRS intensity (ΔIRRS) was linearly correlated to the concentration of 2MBT over the ranges of 5.0-100.0 and 100.0-300.0 μg L(-1). 2MBT can be measured in a short time (5 min) without any complicated or time-consuming sample pretreatment process. Parameters that affect the RRS intensities such as pH, concentration of AuNPs, standing time, electrolyte concentration, and coexisting substances were systematically investigated and optimized. Interference tests showed that the developed method has a very good selectivity and could be used conveniently for determination of 2MBT. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 1.0 and 3.0 μg L(-1), respectively. Relative standard deviations (RSD) for 20.0 and 80.0 μg L(-1) of 2MBT were 1.1 and 2.3, respectively. Possible mechanisms for the RRS changes of AuNPs in the presence of 2MBT were discussed and the method was successfully applied for the analysis of real water samples.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors are highly promising analytical tools, capable of ultrasensitive, multiplex, and nondestructive detection of chemical and biological species. Extensive efforts have been made to design various silicon nanohybrid-based SERS substrates such as gold/silver nanoparticle (NP)-decorated silicon nanowires, Au/Ag NP-decorated silicon wafers (AuNP@Si), and so forth. In comparison to free AuNP- and AgNP-based SERS sensors, the silicon nanohybrid-based SERS sensors feature higher enhancement factors (EFs) and excellent reproducibility, since SERS hot spots are efficiently coupled and stabilized through interconnection to the semiconducting silicon substrates. Consequently, in the past decade, giant advancements in the development of silicon nanohybrid-based SERS sensors have been witnessed for myriad sensing applications. In this review, the representative achievements related to the design of high-performance silicon nanohybrid-based SERS sensors and their use for chemical and biological analysis are reviewed in a detailed way. Furthermore, the major opportunities and challenges in this field are discussed from a broad perspective and possible future directions.

Abstract
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce H2 is a renewable method for addressing the worldwide energy consumption increasing and fossil fuels storage shrinking. In order to achieve sustainable PEC H2 production, the semiconductor electrodes should have good photo-absorption ability, proper band positions, and chemical stability in aqueous condition. Different from the large-band-gap semiconductors such as TiO2, which can work efficiently under UV light, Si is an narrow-band-gap semiconductor that can efficiently absorb visible light; however, Si is indirect semiconductor and susceptible to photocorrosion in aqueous solution. In this paper, we demonstrate a new strategy of first protecting and then activating to develop a stable visible light photoanode for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. This AgNPs/PEDOT/SiNW arrays show an encouraging solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency of 2.86 % and a pronounced incident photo-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) across the whole visible region. Our strategy proposed here contributes to further improvement of corrosion protection and solar energy harvesting for narrow-band-gap semiconductors that employed in visible light photoelectrochemical and photoelectric conversion applications.

Abstract
Silicon nanomaterials are an important class of nanomaterials with great potential for technologies including energy, catalysis, and biotechnology, because of their many unique properties, including biocompatibility, abundance, and unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties, among others. Silicon nanomaterials are known to have little or no toxicity due to favorable biocompatibility of silicon, which is an important precondition for biological and biomedical applications. In addition, huge surface-to-volume ratios of silicon nanomaterials are responsible for their unique optical, mechanical, or electronic properties, which offer exciting opportunities for design of high-performance silicon-based functional nanoprobes, nanosensors, and nanoagents for biological analysis and detection and disease treatment. Moreover, silicon is the second most abundant element (after oxygen) on earth, providing plentiful and inexpensive resources for large-scale and low-cost preparation of silicon nanomaterials for practical applications. Because of these attractive traits, and in parallel with a growing interest in their design and synthesis, silicon nanomaterials are extensively investigated for wide-ranging applications, including energy, catalysis, optoelectronics, and biology. Among them, bioapplications of silicon nanomaterials are of particular interest. In the past decade, scientists have made an extensive effort to construct a silicon nanomaterials platform for various biological and biomedical applications, such as biosensors, bioimaging, and cancer treatment, as new and powerful tools for disease diagnosis and therapy. Nonetheless, there are few review articles covering these important and promising achievements to promote the awareness of development of silicon nanobiotechnology. In this Account, we summarize recent representative works to highlight the recent developments of silicon functional nanomaterials for a new, powerful platform for biological and biomedical applications, including biosensor, bioimaging, and cancer therapy. First, we show that the interesting photoluminescence properties (e.g., strong fluorescence and robust photostability) and excellent biocompatibility of silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are superbly suitable for direct and long-term visualization of biological systems. The strongly fluorescent SiNPs are highly effective for bioimaging applications, especially for long-term cellular labeling, cancer cell detection, and tumor imaging in vitro and in vivo with high sensitivity. Next, we discuss the utilization of silicon nanomaterials to construct high-performance biosensors, such as silicon-based field-effect transistors (FET) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors, which hold great promise for ultrasensitive and selective detection of biological species (e.g., DNA and protein). Then, we introduce recent exciting research findings on the applications of silicon nanomaterials for cancer therapy with encouraging therapeutic outcomes. Lastly, we highlight the major challenges and promises in this field, and the prospect of a new nanobiotechnology platform based on silicon nanomaterials.

Abstract
We report a strategy to fabricate a rapid and stable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based hybrid nanomaterial using gold nanopopcorns attached single-walled carbon nanotubes (AuNP@f3-SWCNTs) for label-free detection and photothermal killing of bacteria. Herein, previously ester-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (f1-SWCNTs) undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with in-situ generated nitrile imine under Microwave (MW) irradiation to form a doubly ester terminated SWCNTs cycloadduct (f2-SWCNTs). The ester terminals are further modified with 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) under MW-irradiation to form thiol-terminated SWCNTs templates (f3-SWCNTs) that allow gold nanopopcorns (AuNPs) to covalently and uniformly attach at a minimum inter-particle distance thus yielding a hybrid nanomaterial (AuNP@f3-SWCNT) with good aqueous stability and abundant 'hotspots'. Consequently, monoclonal E. coli antibody-conjugated bioassays fabricated with our AuNP@f3-SWCNT substrates (mAb-AuNP@f3-SWCNT) rapidly detect E. coli in water with good selectivity and impressive SERS sensitivity. The detection limit of E. coli 49979, selected as a model to establish proof of principle, was found to be 1.0×102 CFU/mL. Furthermore, the AuNP@f3-SWCNT hybrid nanomaterial offers impressive photothermal pathogen killing effects. The synergy-type enhancement effect arising from the inherent noble properties of the respective components of the hybrid nanomaterial indicate that our AuNP@f3-SWCNT has the potential for further application in multiplex detection in samples.

Abstract
Very recently, one-dimensional nanowire (NW) sensors have attracted great attention as smart optical endoscopes to probe and manipulate intracellular biological processes. However, NWs often have limited optical response to the intracellular environment changes. In this work, a near-infrared nanowire optical endoscope for high-resolution intracellular pH detection was developed by integrating the advantages of silicon nanowires and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This optical endoscope has a high-resolution, sensitive response to local pH changes over the wide range of pH 4.0-9.0, an important range for most biological processes in cells, with high reproducibility, good reversibility, and at least one-week stability in an aqueous environment. The results indicate the great potential of a single SiNW SERS endoscope for intracellular pH monitoring.
