Abstract
Low-cost, reliable, and efficient biosensors are crucial in detecting residual heavy metal ions (HMIs) in food products. At present, based on distance-induced localized surface plasmon resonance of noble metal nanoparticles, enzyme-mimetic reaction of nanozymes, and chelation reaction of metal chelators, the constructed optical sensors have attracted wide attention in HMIs detection. Besides, based on the enrichment and signal amplification strategy of nanomaterials on HMIs and the construction of electrochemical aptamer sensing platforms, the developed electrochemical biosensors have overcome the plague of low sensitivity, poor selectivity, and the inability of multiplexed detection in the optical strategy. Moreover, along with an in-depth discussion of these different types of biosensors, a detailed overview of the design and application of innovative devices based on these sensing principles was provided, including microfluidic systems, hydrogel-based platforms, and test strip technologies. Finally, the challenges that hinder commercial application have also been mentioned. Overall, this review aims to establish a theoretical foundation for developing accurate and reliable sensing technologies and devices for HMIs, thereby promoting the widespread application of biosensors in the detection of HMIs in food.

Abstract
In this study, cationic carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from p-phenylenediamine (pPDA) via a one-step hydrothermal method and used to trigger the aggregation and dispersion of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the colorimetric detection of nucleic acids. Physicochemical characterization results revealed that the CDs are enriched with positively charged surface functional groups with an average size of ∼11 nm. The interaction between the CDs and AuNPs was confirmed via fluorescence and absorption studies. Absorption spectroscopic results revealed that the primary surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band of the AuNPs decreased upon introduction of CDs, and a new band emerged at ∼600 nm, indicating the aggregated assembly of AuNPs. Upon the introduction of double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the band corresponding to the aggregated AuNPs showed a continuous decrease, accompanied by a simultaneous increase in the primary SPR band, leading to a noticeable purple-to-red color transformation. Based on this phenomenon, a colorimetric assay for DNA was developed, which relies on the interaction between negatively charged DNA and cationic CDs, leaving the AuNPs dispersed. The assay exhibited a linear response within a DNA concentration range of 0.7-14 nM with a detection limit of 1.70 nM. Selectivity results showed that colorimetric assays are specific for both DNA and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Smartphone-assisted detection was developed by monitoring the colorimetric response of a AuNPs/CDs probe. As a proof-of-concept experiment, the AuNPs/CDs probe was used to visualize the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of Escherichia coli (E. coli), a robust indicator of sewage contamination in water.

Abstract
Illegal use of ractopamine (RAC) in the food industry has dire consequences for health which should be curbed by inexpensive on-site checks. In this study, four advanced nanostructures of AuNPs were examined for this purpose. For the first time, a novel cost-effective colorimetric opto-sensor based on gold nanoparticles in aqueous solution was developed and successfully utilized for the recognition of RAC in real samples. The colorimetric chemosensor based on AuNPs-CysA exhibited a linear range of 0.1 μM to 0.01 M with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.001 μM. Also, using AuNPs-DDT as a photonic probe two ranges of linearity of 0.01 to 50 μM and 0.005 to 0.01 M were obtained (LOD = 1 nM). The outstanding features of the utilized nanostructures are the simple preparation, the suitable stability of AuNPs-CysA and the excellent selectivity of AuNPs-DDT toward RAC recognition. Finally, the engineered colorimetric systems were combined with a simple and inexpensive optimized microfluidic glass fiber-based device. This work paves the way for devising inexpensive and efficient on-site recognition devices for food safety checks.

Abstract
Colorimetric sensors have emerged as a powerful tool in the detection of water pollutants. Plasmonic nanoparticles use localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based colorimetric sensing. LSPR-based sensing can be accomplished through different strategies such as etching, growth, aggregation, and anti-aggregation. Based on these strategies, various sensors have been developed. This review focuses on the newly developed anti-aggregation-based strategy of plasmonic nanoparticles. Sensors based on this strategy have attracted increasing interest because of their exciting properties of high sensitivity, selectivity, and applicability. This review highlights LSPR-based anti-aggregation sensors, their classification, and role of plasmonic nanoparticles in these sensors for the detection of water pollutants. The anti-aggregation based sensing of major water pollutants such as heavy metal ions, anions, and small organic molecules has been summarized herein. This review also provides some personal insights into current challenges associated with anti-aggregation strategy of LSPR-based colorimetric sensors and proposes future research directions.

Abstract
In this study, a novel and rapid method for specific identification and accurate quantification of Hg2+ in environmental water was developed by using laser cleavable cysteine containing peptides modified gold nanoparticles coupled with high resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MALDI-TOF MS) measurement. First, gold nanoparticles were prepared by the reduction of tetrachloroauric (III) acid (HAuCl4) solution. Various cysteine containing peptides, photolabile linkers, including mercury ion binding motif with a proper molecular mass and amino acids were synthesized by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Subsequently, thiol-containing peptides were coated onto the surface of gold nanoparticles via the formation of gold-thiol (Au-S) bond. The resulting cysteine containing peptides modified gold nanoparticles were designed to specifically capture Hg2+ in water samples. After conjugated complex formation, ions of Hg2+-peptide complex were directly liberated by ultraviolet laser radiation by way of MALDI-MS using α-Cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) as matrix. The linear dynamic range of Hg2+ concentration in this study was 1-100 pmol/μL with coefficient of determination 0.9987. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.19 and 0.63 pmol/μL, respectively. Notably, the developed method allows rapid quantification of Hg2+ in 5 min and the desired sample volume was down to few μL.

Abstract
Solvated mercuric ions (Hg2+), a toxic and harmful water pollutant, can easily accumulate in organisms and cause serious damage to the kidney, liver, and central nervous system. To realize rapid and efficient detection of mercury (II) ions in water sources, a kind of new colorimetric sensor of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with ribavirin (Rib-AuNPs) was proposed and characterized by TEM, DLS, XRD, and UV-vis in this work. The color of the Rib-AuNP solution rapidly changed from wine-red to gray-blue with the addition of Hg2+ based on the aggregation mechanism. The limits of detection (LODs) are 0.20 μM by the naked eye and 3.64 nM by UV-vis spectroscopy with a fine linear relationship in the range of 0-0.25 μM (R2 = 0.9834) and 0.25-0.80 μM (R2 = 0.9893) of Hg2+, indicating that the detection system of Rib-AuNPs could be applied to analyze Hg2+ with excellent selectivity and anti-interference in real water samples.

Abstract
This work initially reports a new nanosening method for simple, sensitive, specific, visual detection of mercury (II) (Hg2+) and glutathione (GSH) using the Tyndall Effect (TE) of the same colloidal gold nanoparticle (GNP) probes for efficient colorimetric signaling amplification. For the TE-inspired assay (TEA) method, arginine (Arg) molecules are pre-modified on the GNPs' surfaces (Arg-GNPs). Upon the Hg2+ introduction, it can be specifically coordinated with the terminal -NH2 and -COOH groups of the Arg molecules to make the Arg-GNPs aggregate, producing a significantly-enhanced TE signal in the reaction solution after its irradiation by a 635-nm red laser pointer pen. On the other hand, the introduction of the GSH results in the production of the original Arg-GNPs' weak TE response, as it is able to bind such metal ion via mercury-thiol reactions to inhibit the above aggregation. Under the optimal conditions, the utility of the new TEA method is well demonstrated to quantitatively detect the Hg2+ and GSH with the aid of a smartphone as a portable TE reader during the linear concentration ranges of 50-3000 and 10-3000 nM, respectively. The detection limits for the Hg2+ and GSH are estimated to be as low as ∼3.5 and ∼0.3 nM, respectively. The recovery results obtained from the detection of Hg2+ in the complex tap and pond water samples and the assay of GSH in real human serum and urine samples are also satisfactory.

Abstract
Simple Summary Although various malignant tumors express high levels of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and though its role in tumor progression is well-defined, there is a lack of sensing techniques to target LOX. This study highlights the application of peptide-functionalized gold nanoprobes for sensing the LOX levels in tumor microenvironments. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in these nanoprobes aggregate upon exposure to LOX, resulting in a red shift of the surface plasmon resonance peak, accompanied by a characteristic color change. This colorimetric assay based on peptide-functionalized AuNP sensitively detects LOX secreted from various cancer cells not only in vitro but also in the tissue extract. In this study, the suggested analytical approach demonstrated high specificity to LOX and did not show any color change in the presence of other enzymes. Abstract High LOX levels in the tumor microenvironment causes the cross-linking of extracellular matrix components and increases the stiffness of tumor tissue. Thus, LOX plays an important role in tumorigenesis and in lowering the tumor response to anticancer drugs. Despite comprehensive efforts to identify the roles of LOX in the tumor microenvironment, sensitive and accurate detection methods have not yet been established. Here, we suggest the use of gold nanoparticles functionalized with LOX-sensitive peptides (LS-AuNPs) that aggregate upon exposure to LOX, resulting in a visual color change. LOX-sensitive peptides (LS-peptides) contain lysine residues that are converted to allysine in the presence of LOX, which is highly reactive and binds to adjacent allysine, resulting in the aggregation of the AuNPs. We demonstrated that the synthesized LS-AuNPs are capable of detecting LOX sensitively, specifically both in vitro and in the tissue extract. Moreover, the suggested LS-AuNP-based assay is more sensitive than commonly employed assays or commercially available kits. Therefore, the LS-AuNPs developed in this study can be used to detect LOX levels and can be further used to predict the stiffness or the anticancer drug resistance of the tumor.

Abstract
Toxic heavy metal contamination in food and water from environmental pollution is a significant public health issue. Heavy metals do not biodegrade easily yet can be enriched hundreds of times by biological magnification, where toxic substances move up the food chain and eventually enter the human body. Nanotechnology as an emerging field has provided significant improvement in heavy metal analysis and removal from complex matrices. Various techniques have been adapted based on nanomaterials for heavy metal analysis, such as electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, and biosensing technology. Multiple categories of nanomaterials have been utilized for heavy metal removal, such as metal oxide nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, graphene and derivatives, and carbon nanotubes. Nanotechnology-based heavy metal analysis and removal from food and water resources has the advantages of wide linear range, low detection and quantification limits, high sensitivity, and good selectivity. There is a need for easy and safe field application of nanomaterial-based approaches.

Abstract
Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are an emerging class of nanomaterials and have generated much interest in the field of biomedicine by way of unique properties, such as superior biocompatibility, stability, excellent photoluminescence, simple green synthesis, and easy surface modification. CNDs have been featured in a host of applications, including bioimaging, biosensing, and therapy. In this review, we summarize the latest research progress of CNDs and discuss key advances in our comprehension of CNDs and their potential as biomedical tools. We highlighted the recent developments in the understanding of the functional tailoring of CNDs by modifying dopants and surface molecules, which have yielded a deeper understanding of their antioxidant behavior and mechanisms of action. The increasing amount of in vitro research regarding CNDs has also spawned interest in in vivo practices. Chief among them, we discuss the emergence of research analyzing CNDs as useful therapeutic agents in various disease states. Each subject is debated with reflection on future studies that may further our grasp of CNDs.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione oxidized (GSSG) usually relates to some diseases, thus quantifying the amount of GSH or GSSG is of great significance. A label-free sensing assay based on the enzyme-mimicking property of Cytidine-Au nanoclusters (Cy-AuNCs) was demonstrated for colorimetric detection of GSH, GSSG and glutathione reductase (GR). Firstly, obvious blue color accompanied with an absorption peak at 652 nm was observed due to the high peroxidase-like activity of Cy-AuNCs toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Then, in the presence of target, the mimetic activity of Cy-AuNCs could be strongly inhibited and used to achieve the visualization detection. The inhibition effect arose from the surface interaction between GSH and Cy-AuNCs. Linear relationships between absorbance response and concentration were obtained between 0 and 0.4 mM for GSH, 0-2.5 mM for GSSG and 0-0.2 U/mL for GR. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as low as 0.01 mM, 0.03 mM and 0.003 U/mL for GSH, GSSG and GR, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method displayed rapid response, easy procedure and high selectivity.

Abstract
Gold nanomaterials have been used extensively in colorimetric detection of mercuric ions (Hg2+) due to their shape- and size-dependent, ultrastrong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Conventional detection was performed by first synthesizing the nanomaterials, and then applying them to signal-transducing reactions. We herein report a convenient method for detecting Hg2+ based on gold triangular nanoprisms (AuTNPs). During the seeding-growth process, Hg2+ added to the growth solution was co-reduced and deposited on the high-energy facets of the gold seeds, affecting the deposition patterns of the subsequently generated Au0 and ultimately leading to the formation of defective AuTNPs. Morphological changes were reflected by the in-plane dipole LSPR wavelength shift, which was proportionally related to the concentration of Hg2+. To improve the selectivity, the interference from Ag+ was eliminated by a stepwise preparation-selective precipitation approach. Under the optimized conditions, Hg2+ could be selectively detected with 20 min, with a detection limit of 0.12 nM. Finally, the method was successfully applied to detecting trace Hg2+ in fortified drinking, mineral and rain water samples, with recoveries ranging from 95.17% to 110.6%.

Abstract
An acidophilic microbial consortium (AMC) was used to investigate the fundamental mechanism behind the adverse effects of pulp density increase in the bioleaching of waste lithium ion batteries (WLIBs). Results showed that there existed the effect of metal-ion stress on the bio-oxidative activity of AMC. The Li+ and Co2+ accumulated in the leachate were the direct cause for the decrease in lithium and cobalt recovery yields under a high pulp density. In a simulated bioleaching system with 4.0% (w ⋅v-1) LiCoO2, the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in AMC increased from 0.82 to 6.02 within 24 h, which was almost three times higher than that of the control (2.04). After the supplementation of 0.30 g⋅L-1 of exogenous glutathione (GSH), the bacterial intracellular ROS content decreased by 40% within 24 h and the activities of intracellular ROS scavenging enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT), were 1.4- and 2.0-folds higher in comparison with the control within 24 h. In the biofilms formed on pyrite in the bioleaching of WLIBs, it was found that metal-ion stress had a great influence on the 3-D structure and the amount of biomass of the biofilms. After the exogenous addition of GSH, the structure and the amount of biomass of the biofilms were restored to some extent. Eventually, through ROS regulation by the exogenous addition of GSH, very high metal recovery yields of 98.1% Li and 96.3% Co were obtained at 5.0% pulp density.

Abstract
Techniques that are sensitive to detect mercury ion (Hg2+) are very important, due to its serious threat to public health and food security. In this work, a colorimetric aptasensor was fabricated for the detection of Hg2+ based on rolling circle amplification (RCA). The aptamer was immobilized onto the microplate and hybridized with its complementary strand (cDNA1) which linked with a primer for triggering the RCA reaction of circular template. The successfully RCA process led to the formation of long ssDNA chains on the microplate, which created many hybridized DNA fragments for bio-cDNA2. The tagged amount of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was enhanced through the avidin/biotin binding between avi-HRP and bio-cDNA2. In the addition of TMB-H2O2, HRP was catalyzed and generated an optical signal. However, in the presence of target, Hg2+ specifically and preferentially bound with aptamer and formed a strong and stable T-Hg2+-T complex, which led to the release of cDNA1 and HRP cluster. Consequently, the optical signal decreased. Our results showed that the limit of detection (LOD) of this system was 1.6 nM with excellent specificity, and that the detection signals were enhanced by up to 18 times under RCA conditions when compared with detections without RCA. This method has been successfully used to detect Hg2+ in water samples with a recovery of 98%-105.74%.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive assay is described for the detection and determination of Hg2+(aq) in water samples based on single-particle inductively-coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (spICP-MS). In the presence of Hg2+(aq), AuNPs modified with a segment of single-stranded DNA aggregate due to the formation of the well-known thymine (T)-Hg2+-T complex. Single particle (sp) ICP-MS is used quantify the degree of aggregation by the overall decrease in number of detected AuNPs or NP aggregates. Compared with most other Hg2+ assays that use the same principle of aggregation-dispersion with DNA modified AuNPs, this method has a much lower detection limit of (0.031 ng L-1, 155 fM) and a wider (10,000-fold) linear range (up to 1 μg L-1). The method also showed good practical potential because of its minimal interference from the water sample matrix. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of Hg2+ determination by using modified AuNP probes measured by spICP-MS. AuNPs pulses detected in ICP-MS is relative to the aggregation status of AuNPs based on thymine-Hg2+-thymine interaction.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles are popularly used in biological and chemical sensors and their applications owing to their fascinating chemical, optical, and catalytic properties. Particularly, the use of gold nanoparticles is widespread in colorimetric assays because of their simple, cost-effective fabrication, and ease of use. More importantly, the gold nanoparticle sensor response is a visual change in color, which allows easy interpretation of results. Therefore, many studies of gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric methods have been reported, and some review articles published over the past years. Most reviews focus exclusively on a single gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric technique for one analyte of interest. In this review, we focus on the current developments in different colorimetric assay designs for the sensing of various chemical and biological samples. We summarize and classify the sensing strategies and mechanism analyses of gold nanoparticle-based detection. Additionally, typical examples of recently developed gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric methods and their applications in the detection of various analytes are presented and discussed comprehensively.
