Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is widely recognized as a remarkably powerful analytical technique that enables trace-level detection of organic molecules on a metal surface in aqueous systems with negligible spectral interference of water. This insensitivity of SERS to liquid water is violated in a restrictive manner under specific electrochemical conditions. However, the origin of such different SERS sensitivities to liquid water remains unclear. Here, we show that hydrogen-bond networks of water play a pivotal role in losing SERS enhancement for liquid water, and SERS detection of water requires local defects in the hydrogen-bond networks, which are formed around hydration shells of solute ions or on a polarized electrode surface. This work gives a new perspective on in situ SERS investigations in aqueous systems, including electrochemical and biological reactions.

Abstract
Avian influenza viruses (AIV) are capable of infecting a considerable proportion of the world's population each year, leading to severe epidemics with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The methods now used to diagnose influenza virus A include the Western blot test (WB), hemagglutination inhibition (HI), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). But because of their labor-intensiveness, lengthy procedures, need for costly equipment, and inexperienced staff, these approaches are considered inappropriate. The present review elucidates the recent advancements in the field of avian influenza detection through the utilization of nanomaterials-based immunosensors between 2014 and 2024. The classification of detection techniques has been taken into account to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature. The review encompasses a detailed illustration of the commonly employed detection mechanisms in immunosensors, namely, colorimetry, fluorescence assay, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), electrochemical detection, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) piezoelectric, and field-effect transistor (FET). Furthermore, the challenges and future prospects for the immunosensors have been deliberated upon. The present review aims to enhance the understanding of immunosensors-based sensing platforms for virus detection and to stimulate the development of novel immunosensors by providing novel ideas and inspirations. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide an updated information about biosensors, as a recent detection technique of influenza with its details regarding the various types of biosensors, which can be used for this review.

Abstract
In the landscape of biomolecular detection, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) confronts notable obstacles, particularly in the label-free detection of biomolecules, with glucose and other sugars presenting a quintessential challenge. This study heralds the development of a pioneering SERS substrate, ingeniously engineered through the self-assembly of nanoparticles of diverse sizes (Ag1@Ag2NPs). This configuration strategically induces 'hot spots' within the interstices of nanoparticles, markedly amplifying the detection signal. Rigorous experimental investigations affirm the platform's rapidity, precision, and reproducibility, and the detection limit of this detection method is calculated to be 6.62 pM. Crucially, this methodology facilitates nondestructive glucose detection in simulated samples, including phosphate-buffered saline and urine. Integrating machine learning algorithms with simulated serum samples, the approach adeptly discriminates between hypoglycemic, normoglycemic, and hyperglycemic states. Moreover, the platform's versatility extends to the detection and differentiation of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and methylated glycosides, underscoring its universality and specificity. Comparative Raman spectroscopic analysis of various carbohydrate structures elucidates the unique SERS characteristics pertinent to these molecules. This research signifies a major advance in nonchemical, label-free glucose determination with enhanced sensitivity via SERS, laying a new foundation for its application in precision medicine and advancing structural analysis in the sugar domain.

Abstract
Flexible and transparent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have gained great attention in analysis field as they offer a fast, non-destructive, and highly sensitive platform for in-situ detection. In this work, we present a facile one-pot strategy for synthesizing gold-cored silver shell nanoparticles (Au@Ag NPs) in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) colloid. With no other reducing agents, PVA can serve as both reducing and stabilizing agents for forming Au@Ag NPs. Besides, PVA acts as a scaffold to maintain SERS "hot-spots" by preventing nanoparticle aggregation. By using this flexible Au@Ag NPs/PVA colloid, the analytes can be extracted from rough surfaces for SERS measurements with excellent sensitivity, repeatability and stability. The SERS activity of the Au@Ag NPs/PVA remained at 89.8% even after 120 days of storage at room temperature in sealed air atmosphere. The selective detection of thiram residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables was successfully achieved. The limits of detection for thiram residues on apple and tomato surfaces were measured to be 0.58 and 0.56 ng cm-2, respectively, with recovery rate ranging from 91% to 107%. This work demonstrates the immense application potential of SERS colloid platform in the fields of food safety and environmental analysis.

Abstract
A core-shell nanostructure of gold nanoparticles@covalent organic framework (COF) loaded with palladium nanoparticles (AuNPs@COF-PdNPs) was designed for the rapid monitoring of catalytic reactions with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The nanostructure was prepared by coating the COF layer on AuNPs and then in situ synthesizing PdNPs within the COF shell. With the respective SERS activity and catalytic performance of the AuNP core and COF-PdNPs shell, the nanostructure can be directly used in the SERS study of the catalytic reaction processes. It was shown that the confinement effect of COF resulted in the high dispersity of PdNPs and outstanding catalytic activity of AuNPs@COF-PdNPs, thus improving the reaction rate constant of the AuNPs@COF-PdNPs-catalyzed hydrogenation reduction by 10 times higher than that obtained with Au/Pd NPs. In addition, the COF layer can serve as a protective shell to make AuNPs@COF-PdNPs possess excellent reusability. Moreover, the loading of PdNPs within the COF layer was found to be in favor of avoiding intermediate products to achieve a high total conversion rate. AuNPs@COF-PdNPs also showed great catalytic activities toward the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction. Taken together, the proposed core-shell nanostructure has great potential in monitoring and exploring catalytic processes and interfacial reactions.

Abstract
Two-dimensional semiconductor-based nanomaterials have shown to be an effective substrate for Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. However, the enhancement factor (EF) tends to be relatively weak compared to that of noble metals and does not allow for trace detection of molecules. In this work, we report the successful preparation of two-dimensional (2D) amorphous non-van der Waals heterostructures MoO3-x/GDYO nanomaterials using supercritical CO2. Due to the synergistic effect of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect and the charge transfer effect, it exhibits excellent SERS performance in the detection of methylene blue (MB) molecules, with a detection limit as low as 10-14 M while the enhancement factor (EF) can reach an impressive 2.55×1011. More importantly, the chemical bond bridging at the MoO3-x/GDYO heterostructures interface can accelerate the electron transfer between the interfaces, and the large number of defective surface structures on the heterostructures surface facilitates the chemisorption of MB molecules. And the charge recombination lifetime can be proved by a ~1.7-fold increase during their interfacial electron-transfer process for MoO3-x/GDYO@MB mixture, achieving highly sensitive SERS detection.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is an effective technique that can reveal molecular structure and molecular interaction details. Semiconductor-based SERS platforms exhibit multifaceted tunability and unique selectivity to target molecules as well as high spectral reproducibility. However, the detection sensitivity of semiconductors is impeded by inferior SERS enhancement. Herein, a surface and interference co-enhanced Raman scattering (SICERS) platform based on corrugated TiO2 nanotube arrays (c-TiO2 NTs) was developed, and the coupling of structural regulation and photo-induced charge transfer (PICT) effectively optimized the SERS performance of the semiconductor substrate. Due to the regularly oscillating optical properties of the c-TiO2 NTs, well-defined interference patterns were generated and the local electric field was significantly increased, which greatly promoted both the electromagnetic mechanism and PICT processes. The c-TiO2 NTs were subsequently applied as a highly sensitive SICERS substrate to investigate the mechanism of temperature influence on enantioselective identification. This identification process is related to the existence of temperature-sensitive hydrogen bonds and π-π interaction. This work demonstrates a simply prepared, low-cost, and sensitive SERS substrate that enables better investigation into molecular identification.

Hybrid plasmonic aerogel with tunable hierarchical pores for size-selective multiplexed detection of VOCs with ultrahigh sensitivity. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133893.

Abstract
Sensitive and rapid identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at ppm level with complex composition is vital in various fields ranging from respiratory diagnosis to environmental safety. Herein, we demonstrate a SERS gas sensor with size-selective and multiplexed identification capabilities for VOCs by executing the pre-enrichment strategy. In particular, the macro-mesoporous structure of graphene aerogel and micropores of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) significantly improved the enrichment capacity (1.68 mmol/g for toluene) of various VOCs near the plasmonic hotspots. On the other hand, molecular MOFs-based filters with different pore sizes could be realized by adjusting the ligands to exclude undesired interfering molecules in various detection environments. Combining these merits, graphene/AuNPs@ZIF-8 aerogel gas sensor exhibited outstanding label-free sensitivity (up to 0.1 ppm toluene) and high stability (RSD=14.8%, after 45 days storage at room temperature for 10 cycles) and allowed simultaneous identification of multiple VOCs in a single SERS measurement with high accuracy (error < 7.2%). We visualize that this work will tackle the dilemma between sensitivity and detection efficiency of gas sensors and will inspire the design of next-generation SERS technology for selective and multiplexed detection of VOCs.

Abstract
Three-dimensionally (3D) integrated metallic nanomaterials composed of two or more different types of nanostructures make up a class of advanced materials due to the multidimensional and synergistic effects between different components. However, designing and synthesizing intricate, well-defined metallic 3D nanomaterials remain great challenges. Here, a novel single-particle soft-enveloping strategy using a core-shell Au NP@mSiO2 particle as a template was proposed to synthesize 3D nanomaterials, namely, a Au nanoparticle@center-radial nanorod-Au-Pt nanoparticle (Au NP@NR-NP-Pt NP) superstructure. Taking advantage of the excellent plasmonic properties of Au NP@NR-NP by the synergistic plasmonic coupling of the outer Au NPs and inner Au nanorods, we can enhance the catalytic performance for 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation using Au NP@NR-NP-Pt NP as a photocatalyst with plasmon-excited hot electrons from Au NP@NR-NP under light irradiation, which is 2.76 times higher than in the dark. This process opens a door for the design of a new generation of 3D metallic nanomaterials for different fields.

Abstract
Nowadays, the diagnose of depression mainly relies on clinical examination while impossible to accurately evaluate the occurrence of depression. Chemical approaches are captivating to analyze stress biomarkers for feedbacking body's endocrine response to stress stimuli. However, it remains challenging in exploring accurate, reliable and sensitive approaches. Herein, we rationally design a newly SERS platform with integrated hotspots engineering and analyte strategy to achieve highly sensitive analysis for estrogen, a typical depression biomarker in adolescent female. On the one hand, the 3D micro/nano plasmonic substrate containing Au-Ag Alloy Nanourchins (AAA-NUs) and arrays-based monolayer films of Au nanoparticles (Au NSs) was constructed to achieve high density and availability of hotspots. On the other hand, the analyte strategy was designed via rapid azotizing reaction to further enhance the scattering cross-section of estrogen in the form of azido compounds. With the synergism of them, the proposed SERS platform displayed high sensitivity for estrogen with a limit of detection down to 10-11 mg/mL. More importantly, the blood estrogen levels of depressed patients were evaluated via the proposed SERS platform and presented high consistence with clinical diagnostic results. This integrated SERS platform paves the way for universal and ultrasensitive biosensing and possess great potential for applying in multi-target detection and disease prediction.

Abstract
The early detection of procalcitonin (PCT) is crucial for diagnosing bacterial infections due to its high sensitivity and specificity. While colloidal gold colorimetric and immune-chemiluminescence methods are commonly employed in clinical detection, the former lacks sensitivity, and the latter faces challenges with a brief luminescence process and an elevated background. Here, we introduce a novel approach for the quantitative analysis of PCT using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), leveraging the enhanced properties of metal nanoparticles. Simultaneously, we employed a magnetic nanoparticle coating and surface biofunctionalization modification to immobilize PCT-trapping antibodies, creating the required immune substrates. The resulting magnetic nanoparticles and antibody complexes, acting as carriers and recognition units, exhibited superparamagnetism and the specific recognition of biomarkers. Then, this complex efficiently underwent magnetic separation with an applied magnetic field, streamlining the cumbersome steps of traditional ELISA and significantly reducing the detection time. In conclusion, the exploration of immunomagnetic bead detection technology based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy holds crucial practical significance for the sensitive detection of PCT.

Abstract
In this paper, a new dimode scattering spectral method for rapid detection of ultratrace melamine (ML) in dairy products was established by coupling nanosurface molecular imprinting technology with nanocatalytic amplification reaction of liquid crystal particles. It was found that liquid crystal cholesteryl butyrate (CBU) nanosurface imprinted polymers (CBU@MIP) not only recognized ML but also catalyzed the nano indicator reaction of HAuCl4-sodium formate to produce gold nanoparticles with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) effect. When ML was added, it specifically combined with CBU@MIP to form CBU@MIP-ML conjugates with strong catalytic activity, and SERS and RRS signals increased linearly with the detection limits of 0.0072 pmol/L and 0.093 pmol/L respectively. The method was applied to the determination of ML in dairy products and plastic tablewares with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.2-4.4 % and 1.6-4.7 %, and recovery of 95.4 %-108.3 % and 95.9-108.6 % respectively.

Abstract
The oil and gas industry plays a vital role in the global economy. The production process has several critical conditions and can expose metals to corrosion. Surfactants like the quaternary ammonium salt Benzyldimethyldodecylammonium Bromide (BDAC) are currently used to prevent corrosions; classical methods for determining these surfactants have problems in saline samples and usually present high costs. In this context, spectroscopic techniques become an excellent alternative for quaternary ammonium salts detection. Here, a SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) sensor based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized through chemical reduction was used as an alternative method for BDAC detection. We detected BDAC at low concentrations in water solutions: at 5 to 30 ppm (1.47 × 10-5 mol L-1 to 8.82 × 10-5 mol L-1); and had the vibration attempt attribute analyzed. A new study of quaternary ammonium compounds using AuNPs and SERS with a different, easy, and repeatable approach to spectra acquisition is presented and shows to be a promising method applied in quaternary ammonium salt compounds detection for the oil and gas industry.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a highly sensitive trace detection technique in recent decades, yet its exceptional performance remains elusive in semiconductor materials due to the intricate and ambiguous nature of the SERS mechanism. Herein, we have synthesized MoS2 nanoflowers (NFs) decorated with Au nanoparticles (NPs) by hydrothermal and redox methods to explore the size-dependence SERS effect. This strategy enhances the interactions between the substrate and molecules, resulting in exceptional uniformity and reproducibility. Compared to the unadorned Au nanoparticles (NPs), the decoration of Au NPs induces an n-type effect on MoS2, resulting in a significant enhancement of the SERS effect. This augmentation empowers MoS2 to achieve a low limit of detection concentration of 2.1 × 10-9 M for crystal violet (CV) molecules and the enhancement factor (EF) is about 8.52 × 106. The time-stability for a duration of 20 days was carried out, revealing that the Raman intensity of CV on the MoS2/Au-6 substrate only exhibited a reduction of 24.36% after undergoing aging for 20 days. The proposed mechanism for SERS primarily stems from the synergistic interplay among the resonance of CV molecules, local surface plasma resonance (LSPR) of Au NPs, and the dual-step charge transfer enhancement. This research offers comprehensive insights into SERS enhancement and provides guidance for the molecular design of highly sensitive SERS systems.

Abstract
There has been a growing concern over the micro/nanoplastics pollution and treatment. The fast qualitative and quantitative analysis of these small plastic particles is the crucial issues. Herein, a novel honeycomb-like AgNPs@TiO2 array-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor was developed for efficient identification and analysis of the micro/nanoplastics in the environmental water samples. The plasmonic AgNPs were uniformly anchored within the periodic TiO2 nanocage arrays to form a AgNPs@TiO2 array. The dual enhancement mechanisms in the AgNPs@TiO2 hybrid structure endow the SERS sensor high sensitivity to detect trace amount of micro/nanoplastics down to 50 μg/mL with a hand-held Raman spectrometer. Further, this SERS sensor successfully discerns two-component mixtures of the micro/nanoplastics due to the fingerprint feature. In addition, the superior reproducibility (RSD of 9.69%) of the SERS sensor assures the quantitative detection reliability, realizing quantitative analysis of Polystyrene (PS) microplastics in tap water, lake water, soil water and seawater with detection limits of 100 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL and 250 μg/mL, respectively. The recovery rates of PS microspheres in four water environments ranged from 97.6% to 109.7%, with the RSD ranging from 0.49% to 10.23%. This honeycomb AgNPs@TiO2 array sensor provides a promising application prospect in the detection of micro/nanoplastics contaminants from the environmental water.

Abstract
Neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) are a new class of neurotoxic pesticides primarily used for pest control on fruits and vegetables, cereals, and other crops after organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), carbamate pesticides (CBPs), and pyrethroid pesticides. However, chronic abuse and illegal use have led to the contamination of food and water sources as well as damage to ecological and environmental systems. Long-term exposure to NEOs may pose potential risks to animals (especially bees) and even human health. Consequently, it is necessary to develop effective, robust, and rapid methods for NEOs detection. Specific recognition-based chemical sensing has been regarded as one of the most promising detection tools for NEOs due to their excellent selectivity, sensitivity, and robust interference resistance. In this review, we introduce the novel recognition strategies-enabled chemical sensing in food neonicotinoids detection in the past years (2017-2023). The properties and advantages of molecular imprinting recognition (MIR), host-guest recognition (HGR), electron-catalyzed recognition (ECR), immune recognition (IR), aptamer recognition (AR), and enzyme inhibition recognition (EIR) in the development of NEOs sensing platforms are discussed in detail. Recent applications of chemical sensing platforms in various food products, including fruits and vegetables, cereals, teas, honey, aquatic products, and others are highlighted. In addition, the future trends of applying chemical sensing with specific recognition strategies for NEOs analysis are discussed.

Abstract
Surface Enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a molecular-specific analytical technique with various applications. Although electromagnetic (EM) and chemical (CM) mechanisms have been proposed to be the main origins of SERS, exploring highly sensitive SERS substrates with well-defined mechanistic pathways remains challenging. Since surface and electronic structures of substrates were crucial for SERS activity, zero-valent transition metals (Fe and Cu) were intercalated into MoO3 to modulate its surface and electronic structures, leading to unexceptional high enhancement factors (1.0×108 and 1.1×1010 for Fe-MoO3 and Cu-MoO3 , respectively) with decent reproducibility and stability. Interestingly, different mechanistic pathways (CM and EM) were proposed for Fe-MoO3 and Cu-MoO3 according to mechanistic investigations. The different mechanisms of Fe-MoO3 and Cu-MoO3 were rationalized by the electronic structures of the intercalated Fe(0) and Cu(0), which modulates the surface and electronic structures of Fe-MoO3 and Cu-MoO3 to differentiate their SERS mechanisms.

Abstract
A cyano-Raman label pH-responsive SERS probe was constructed by immobilizing 6-MPN molecules onto the surface of a single urchin Au nanoparticle (AuNP). The effects of different conditions on the synthetic materials were investigated and the optical properties of the single nanoparticles were evaluated. The peak-strength ratio of SERS probes at 1589 cm-1 and 2240 cm-1 exhibited a linear relationship in the pH range 4-7. The properties and stability of the probe were also verified by the acid-base cycle and ion interference tests.

Abstract
To meet the increasing needs of point-of-care testing in clinical diagnosis and daily health monitoring, numerous cutting-edge techniques have emerged to upgrade current portable biosensors with higher sensitivity, smaller size, and better intelligence. In particular, due to the controlled locomotion characteristics in the micro/nano scale, microrobots can effectively enhance the sensitivity of biosensors by disrupting conventional passive diffusion into an active enrichment during the test. In addition, microrobots are ideal to create biosensors with functions of on-demand delivery, transportation, and multi-objective detections with the capability of actively controlled motion. In this review, five types of portable biosensors and their integration with microrobots are critically introduced. Microrobots can enhance the detection signal in fluorescence intensity and surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection via the active enrichment. The existence and quantity of detection substances also affect the motion state of microrobots for the locomotion-based detection. In addition, microrobots realize the indirect detection of the bio-molecules by functionalizing their surfaces in the electrochemical current and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy detections. We pay a special focus on the roles of microrobots with active locomotion to enhance the detection performance of portable sensors. At last, perspectives and future trends of microrobots in biosensing are also discussed.

Abstract
Developing substrates that combine sensitivity and signal stability is a major challenge in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) research. Herein, we present a flexible triple-enhanced Raman Scattering MXene/Au nanocubes (AuNCs) sensor fabricated by selective filtration of Ti3C2Tx MXene/AuNCs hybrid on the Ti3C2Tx MXene membrane and subsequent treatment with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-octyltriethoxysilane (FOTS). The resultant superhydrophobic MXene/AuNCs-FOTS membrane not only provides the SERS substrate with environmental stability, but also imparts analyte enrichment to enhance the sensitivity (LOD = 1 × 10-14 M) and reliability (RSD = 6.41%) for Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules owing to the attenuation of the coffee ring effect. Moreover, the triple enhancement mechanism of combining plasmonic coupling enhancement from plasmonic coupling (EM) of nearby AuNCs at lateral and longitudinal direction of MXene/AuNCs-FOTS membrane, charge transfer (CT) from Ti3C2Tx MXene and target molecules and analyte enrichment function provides the substrate with excellent SERS performance (EF = 3.19 × 109), and allows efficient quantification of biomarkers in urine. This work could provide new insights into MXenes as building blocks for high-performance substrates and fill existing gaps in SERS techniques.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions, which are over-emitted from industrial production, pose a major threat to the ecological environment and human beings. Among the present detection technologies, achieving rapid and on-site detection of contaminants remains a challenge. Herein, capillaries with three-dimensional (3D) hot spot constructures are fabricated to achieve repaid and ultrasensitive mercury ion (Hg2+) detection in water based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The 4-mercapto pyridine (4-Mpy) serves as the Raman reporter with high selectivity, enabling the detection of Hg2+ by changes in adsorption configuration at the trace level. Under optimized conditions, the SERS response of 4-Mpy for Hg2+ exhibits good linearity, ranging from 1 pM to 0.1 μM in a few minutes, and the detection limit of 0.2 pM is much lower than the maximum Hg2+ concentration of 10 nM allowed in drinking water, as defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Simultaneously, combined with the theoretical simulation and experimental results, the above results indicate that the SERS substrates possess outstanding performances in specificity, recovery rate and stability, which may hold great potential for achieving rapid and on-site environmental pollutant detection using a portable Raman spectrometer.

Abstract
The first observation of ultraviolet surface-enhanced Raman scattering (UV-SERS) was 20 years ago, yet the field has seen a slower development pace than its visible and near-infrared counterparts. UV excitation for SERS offers many potential advantages. These advantages include increased scattering intensity, higher spatial resolution, resonance Raman enhancement from organic, biological, and semiconductor analytes, probing UV photoluminescence, and mitigating visible photoluminescence from analytes or substrates. One of the main challenges is the lack of readily accessible, effective, and reproducible UV-SERS substrates, with few commercial sources available. In this review, we evaluate the reported UV-SERS substrates in terms of their elemental composition, substrate morphology, and performance. We assess the best-performing substrates with regard to their enhancement factors and limits of detection in both the ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet regions. Even though aluminum nanostructures were the most reported and best-performing substrates, we also highlighted some unique UV-SERS composition and morphology substrate combinations. We address the challenges and potential opportunities in the field of UV-SERS, especially in relation to the development of commercially available, cost-effective substrates. Lastly, we discuss potential application areas for UV-SERS, including cost-effective detection of environmentally and militarily relevant analytes, in situ and operando experimentation, defect engineering, development of materials for extreme environments, and biosensing.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been widely studied and recognized as a powerful label-free technique for trace chemical analysis. However, its drawback in simultaneously identifying several molecular species has greatly limited its real-world applications. In this work, we reported a combination between SERS and independent component analysis (ICA) to detect several trace antibiotics which are commonly used in aquacultures, including malachite green, furazolidone, furaltadone hydrochloride, nitrofurantoin, and nitrofurazone. The analysis results indicate that the ICA method is highly effective in decomposing the measured SERS spectra. The target antibiotics could be precisely identified when the number of components and the sign of each independent component loading were properly optimized. With SERS substrates, the optimized ICA can identify trace molecules in a mixture at a concentration of 10-6 M achieving the correlation values to the reference molecular spectra of 71-98%. Furthermore, measurement results obtained from a real-world sample demonstration could also be recognized as an important basis to suggest this method is promising for monitoring antibiotics in a real aquatic environment.

Abstract
Metaphotonic devices, which enable light manipulation at a subwavelength scale and enhance light-matter interactions, have been emerging as a critical pillar in biosensing. Researchers have been attracted to metaphotonic biosensors, as they solve the limitations of the existing bioanalytical techniques, including the sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limit. Here, we briefly introduce types of metasurfaces utilized in various metaphotonic biomolecular sensing domains such as refractometry, surface-enhanced fluorescence, vibrational spectroscopy, and chiral sensing. Further, we list the prevalent working mechanisms of those metaphotonic bio-detection schemes. Furthermore, we summarize the recent progress in chip integration for metaphotonic biosensing to enable innovative point-of-care devices in healthcare. Finally, we discuss the impediments in metaphotonic biosensing, such as its cost effectiveness and treatment for intricate biospecimens, and present a prospect for potential directions for materializing these device strategies, significantly influencing clinical diagnostics in health and safety.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth review of plasmonic metal nanoparticles made from rhodium, platinum, gold, or silver. We describe fundamental concepts, synthesis methods, and optical sensing applications of these nanoparticles. Plasmonic metal nanoparticles have received a lot of interest due to various applications, such as optical sensors, single-molecule detection, single-cell detection, pathogen detection, environmental contaminant monitoring, cancer diagnostics, biomedicine, and food and health safety monitoring. They provide a promising platform for highly sensitive detection of various analytes. Due to strongly localized optical fields in the hot-spot region near metal nanoparticles, they have the potential for plasmon-enhanced optical sensing applications, including metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and biomedical imaging. We explain the plasmonic enhancement through electromagnetic theory and confirm it with finite-difference time-domain numerical simulations. Moreover, we examine how the localized surface plasmon resonance effects of gold and silver nanoparticles have been utilized for the detection and biosensing of various analytes. Specifically, we discuss the syntheses and applications of rhodium and platinum nanoparticles for the UV plasmonics such as UV-MEF and UV-SERS. Finally, we provide an overview of chemical, physical, and green methods for synthesizing these nanoparticles. We hope that this paper will promote further interest in the optical sensing applications of plasmonic metal nanoparticles in the UV and visible ranges.

Abstract
Monitoring the acetaminophen dosage is important to prevent the occurrence of adverse reactions such as liver failure and kidney damage. Traditional approaches to monitoring acetaminophen dosage mainly rely on invasive blood collection. Herein, we developed a noninvasive microfluidic-based wearable plasmonic sensor to achieve simultaneous sweat sampling and acetaminophen drug monitoring for vital signs. The fabricated sensor employs an Au nanosphere cone array as the key sensing component, which poses a substrate with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity to noninvasively and sensitively detect the fingerprint of acetaminophen molecules based on its unique SERS spectrum. The developed sensor enabled the sensitive detection and quantification of acetaminophen at concentrations as low as 0.13 μM. We further evaluated the sweat sensor integrated with a Raman spectrometer for monitoring acetaminophen in drug-administered subjects. These results indicated that the sweat sensor could measure acetaminophen levels and reflect drug metabolism. The sweat sensors have revolutionized wearable sensing technology by adopting label-free and sensitive molecular tracking methods for noninvasive and point-of-care drug monitoring and management.

Herein, the recent developments in SERS active materials and their in vivo imaging and biosensing applications are overviewed. Various SERS substrates that have been successfully used for in vivo imaging are described. Then, the applications of SERS imaging in cancer detection and in vivo intraoperative guidance are summarized. The role of highly sensitive SERS biosensors in guiding the detection and prevention of diseases is discussed in detail. Moreover, its role in the identification and resection of microtumors and as a diagnostic and therapeutic platform is also reviewed. Finally, the progress and challenges associated with SERS active materials, equipment, and clinical translation are described.

Abstract
Microparticles composed of bicontinuous and ordered macropores are important in many applications. However, rational integration of ordered macropores into a single crystalline microparticle remains a challenge. Here, we report a method to prepare three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) Ag7O8NO3 micropyramids via selectively cementing the colloidal crystal templates via an electrochemical method and their shape-preserving transformation into 3DOM Ag micropryamids formed by Ag nanoparticles via a chemical reduction process. The interconnected macropores facilitated the transportation and enrichment of the analyte molecules into the 3DOM Ag micropyramids. The dense Ag nanoparticles on the skeletons of the 3DOM Ag micropyramids provided strong electromagnetic fields. Taken together, a 3DOM Ag micropyramid as a kind of single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing substrate demonstrated high SERS sensitivity and outstanding SERS signal reproducibility. We explored the application of 3DOM Ag micropyramids in SERS detection of biomolecules (e.g., adenosine, adenine, hemoglobin bovine, and lysozyme) and proved their potentials in distinguishing exosomes from tumor and non-tumor cells. The method can be extended to prepared 3DOM structures of other materials with promising applications in sensing, separation, and catalytic fields.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is often impaired by the limited affinity of molecules to plasmonic substrates. Here, we use carbon fiber microelectrodes modified with silver nanoparticles as a plasmonic microsubstrate with tunable affinity for enrichment and molecular identification by SERS. The silver nanoparticles self-assemble by electrostatic interaction with diamine molecules that are electrochemically grafted onto the surface of the microelectrodes. β-carotene and trans-β-Apo-8'-carotenal, producing similar resonant SERS spectra, are employed as model molecules to study the effect of electroenrichment and SERS screening for different electrode potentials. The data show that at a characteristic electrode potential, the low affinity of polyene chains without hydrophilic groups to the substrate can be overcome. Different potentials were applied to recognize the two types of carotenoids by their typical SERS signal, and the applicability of this strategy was further confirmed in the environment of a real cell culture. The results indicate that by regulating the potential, carotenoid molecules with a similar molecular structure can be selectively quantified and identified by SERS. The developed SERS-active microelectrode is expected to help the development of portable, miniaturized point-of-care diagnostic SERS sensors.

Abstract
ATP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered significant indicators of cell apoptosis. However, visualizing the interplay between apoptosis-related ATP and ROS is challenging. Herein, we developed a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanoprobe for an apoptosis assay using duplex imaging of cellular ATP and ROS. The nanoprobe was fabricated through controlled encapsulation of gold nanorods with a thin zirconium-based MOF layer, followed by modification of the ROS-responsive molecules 2-mercaptohydroquinone and 6-carboxyfluorescein-labeled ATP aptamer. The nanoprobe enables ATP and ROS visualization via fluorescence and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, respectively, avoiding the mutual interference that often occurs in single-mode methods. Moreover, the dual-modal assay effectively showed dynamic imaging of ATP and ROS in cancer cells treated with various drugs, revealing their apoptosis-related pathways and interactions that differ from those under normal conditions. This study provides a method for studying the relationship between energy metabolism and redox homeostasis in cell apoptosis processes.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles that self-assemble into highly ordered superlattice nanostructures hold substantial promise for facilitating ultra-trace surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. Herein, we propose a boiling-point evaporation method to synthesize ordered monocrystal-like superlattice Au nanostructures (OML-Au NTs) with a polyhedral morphology. Combined with thermal nanoimprint technology, OML-Au NTs were directly transferred to impact-resistant polystyrene (IPS) flexible SERS substrates, the obtained flexible substrates (donated as OML-Au NTs/IPS) detection limit for R6G molecules as low as 10-13 M. These results were confirmed by simulating the electromagnetic field distribution of ordered/unordered two-dimensional single-layer and three-dimensional aggregated gold nanostructures. The OML-Au NTs/IPS substrates were successfully used to detect and quantify three commonly-used agricultural pesticides, achieving detection limits as low as 10-11 M and 10-12 M, and in situ real-time detection limit reached 0.24 pg/cm2 for thiram on apple peels, which was 3 orders of magnitude lower than the current detection limit. In addition, the Raman intensity from multiple locations showed a relative standard deviation lower than 7 %, exhibiting the reliability necessary for practical applications. As a result, this research demonstrates a highly reproducible method to enable the development of plasmonic nanomaterials with flexible superstructures.

Using more efficient adsorption materials and more accurate detection means to treat heavy metal ions in water has always been a research focus and target of researchers. Method: A novel titania nanomaterial was modified with sulfhydryl group (nano TiO2-SH) for detection and adsorption of heavy metal ions in water, and accurately characterize the adsorption process using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and other effective testing methods. Results: The maximum adsorption efficiency of nano TiO2-SH for the Hg2+, Cd2+, Pb2+ three heavy metal ions reached 98.3%, 98.4% and 98.4% respectively. And more importantly, after five cycles of adsorption and desorption, the adsorption efficiency of nano TiO2-SH for these three metal ions is still above 96%. Conclusion: These results proved the nano TiO2-SH adsorbent has great potential in practical water pollution purification.

Abstract
We report a novel approach for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection in digital microfluidics (DMF). This is made possible by a microspray hole (μSH) that uses an electrostatic spray (ESTAS) for sample transfer from inside the chip to an external SERS substrate. To realize this, a new ESTAS-compatible stationary SERS substrate was developed and characterized for sensitive and reproducible SERS measurements. In a proof-of-concept study, we successfully applied the approach to detect various analyte molecules using the DMF chip and achieved micro-molar detection limits. Moreover, this technique was exemplarily employed to study an organic reaction occurring in the DMF device, providing vibrational spectroscopic data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Superhydrophobic substrate modifications are an effective way to improve SERS sensitivity by concentrating analyte molecules into a small surface area. However, it is difficult to manipulate low-volume liquid droplets on superhydrophobic substrates. RESULTS To overcome this limitation, we deposited a hydrophilic Ti3C2Tx film on a superhydrophobic ZnO nanorod array to create a SERS substrate with improved analyte affinity. Combined with its interfacial charge transfer properties, this enabled a rhodamine 6G detection limit of 10-11 M to be achieved. In addition, the new SERS substrate showed potential for detection of biological macromolecules, such as microRNA. CONCLUSION Combined with its facile preparation, the SERS activity of ZnO/Ti3C2Tx suggests it may provide an ultrasensitive environmental pollutant-monitoring and effective substrate for biological analyte detection.

Abstract
As one of the most important parameters of biochemical analysis and detection, the pH value plays a very important role in cell function, food preservation and production, soil and water sources, and other applications. This makes it increasingly important to explore pH detection methods in depth. In this paper, a pH-responsive SERS probe based on the cyano Raman Tag was designed to realize pH sensing detection through the influence of the pH value of analytes on the displacement of the cyano Raman peak in the SERS probe. This cyano Raman tag exhibited not only excellent sensitivity in the liner range of pH 3.0-9.0 with a limit of detection (LOD) of pH 0.33, but also the anti-interference performance and stability (the relative standard deviation (RSD) was calculated to be 6.68%, n = 5). These results indicated that this pH SERS probe with the Raman cyano tag can provide new research ideas for future biological detection, bioimaging, and environmental detection.

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
In this work, a series of F-doped SnO2/Ag/zeolite imidazole framework (FTO/Ag/ZIF-8) sandwich structure have been successfully fabricated via a magnetic sputtering method and serve as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. The magnetic sputtering time of Ag was adjusted to obtain the optimal SERS substrate. The commonly used 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules was selected for the SERS experiment. When the sputtering time of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) was 120 s, the FTO/Ag/ZIF-8 substrate showed the maximum SERS performance. In the system, the electromagnetic mechanism (EM) and charge-transfer (CT) enhancement mechanism have synergistic effect on the SERS phenomenon. Ag NPs was used to generate electromagnetic hot spots, which was beneficial to the EM mechanism. ZIF-8 could adsorb and capture more 4-MBA probe molecules to the hotspots. At the same time, CT happened between Ag, ZIF-8, and 4-MBA probe molecules, which was attribute to the CM mechanism. The enhancement factor (EF) of the composite SERS substrate was as high as 7.67 × 106. The detection limit of the substrate can reach 10-9 M of 4-MBA probe molecules. Moreover, the SERS templates showed good stability, the SERS signals almost unchanged after naturally kept for 6 months. Besides, due to the high sensitivity and good stability of the substrates, this work might broaden the potential practical application of SERS.

Abstract
The development of anti-counterfeiting inks based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) labels have attracted great interest in recent years for their use as security labels in anti-counterfeiting applications. Indeed, they are promising alternatives to luminescent inks, which suffer from several limitations including emission peak overlap, toxicity and photobleaching. Most of the reported SERS security labels developed so far rely on the use of thiolate self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for the immobilization of Raman reporters on metallic nanoparticle surface. However, SAMs are prone to spontaneous desorption and degradation under laser irradiation, thereby compromising the ink long-term stability. To overcome this issue, we develop herein a new generation of SERS security labels based on silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) functionalized by aryl diazonium salts, carrying various substituents (-NO2, -CN, -CCH) with distinguishable Raman fingerprints. The resulting SERS tags were fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption and SERS. Then, they were incorporated into ink formulations to be printed on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates, using handwriting or inkjet printing. Proof-of-concept Raman imaging experiments confirmed the remarkable potential of diazonium salt chemistry to design Ag NPs-based SERS security labels.

Abstract
Tacrolimus (FK506) is widely used in the prevention of organ transplant rejection and the treatment of autoimmune diseases, but it is difficult to detect within the low and narrow concentration range in practical clinical fields. A magnetic plasmonic superstructure-targets-plasmonic superstructure-based sandwich-type SERS biosensor is presented here to ultrasensitively detect FK506 in the blood of organ transplant patients. The spiky Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag flower magnetic superstructure and hollow Ag@Au superstructure enhanced the SERS signals by providing rich sharp tips, cavities, and abundant hot spot gaps. And the magnetic feature makes it easy to concentrate and separate the biological target. Using the designed sandwich-type SERS biosensor, FK506 could be detected within a range of 0.5-20 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.33 ng/mL. All results indicated that the sandwich-type SERS biosensor has good stability, sensitivity, and anti-interference properties. It is noteworthy that this allowed us to successfully analyze FK506 in the blood of transplant patients, which is in strong agreement with the clinical results. Consequently, the attractive sandwich-type SERS biosensor can be used for the detection of FK506 in real samples, which is promising for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The surface plasmon in the composite composed of the noble metals and the semiconductors is interesting because of the various charges and the potential applications in many fields. Based on a highly ordered 2D polystyrene spheres array, the ordered composite nanocap arrays composed of TiO2 and Ag were prepared by the co-sputtering technique, and the surface morphology was tuned by changing TiO2 sputtering power. When TiO2 sputtering power was 60 W and Ag sputtering power was 10 W, the composite unit arrays showed the nanocap shapes decorated by many composite clusters around. The composite clusters led to the additional local coupling of the electromagnetic fields and significant Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) observations, which was also confirmed by the finite-different time-domain simulation. The SERS-active substrate composed of the composite nanocaps decorated by clusters realized the accurate detection of the thiram with concentrations down to 10-9 M.

Abstract
Even though amoxicillin is used as an antibacterial drug in some foods such as fish, chick, etc. However, the use of amoxicillin in the food industry is prohibited. Therefore, rapid detection and sensitive detection at ultra-low concentration of amoxicillin is very important for human. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is fast and reliable method to determine the molecules at ultra-low concentration. In this study, silver nanocubes were synthesized and used as SERS active substrate. The synthesized Ag NCs exhibit an excellent sensitivity towards the detection of amoxicillin at the lowest concentration of 10-9 M based on the effect resulting from Ag NCs leading to the high electromagnetic effect and chemical mechanism. The dynamic linear regression between the Raman intensity and amoxicillin concentration over seven orders of magnitude (from 10-4 to 10-9 M) was excellent with high reliability (R2 = 0.99). On the one hand, SERS substrate can be used after storing for 20 days. Because Ag NCs also demonstrated remarkable recyclability, reproducibility, and chemical stability. As a result, Ag NCs can be used as a potential SERS substrate to detect amoxicillin at ultra-low concentration.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted widespread interest due to their unique and unprecedented advantages in microstructures and properties. Besides, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has also rapidly developed into a powerful fingerprint spectroscopic technique that can provide rapid, non-invasive, non-destructive, and ultra-sensitive detection, even down to single molecular level. Consequently, a considerable amount of researchers combined MOFs with the SERS technique to further improve the sensing performance and broaden the applications of SERS substrates. Herein, representative synthesis strategies of MOFs to fabricate SERS-active substrates are summarized and their applications in ultra-sensitive biomedical trace detection are also reviewed. Besides, relative barriers, advantages, disadvantages, future trends, and prospects are particularly discussed to give guidance to relevant researchers.
