Abstract
17β-Estradiol (17β-E2) could accumulate in humans through milk, thus causing diseases by interfering with the function of the endocrine system. However, its detection at a trace level in milk is still a challenge because of matrix interferences. In this work, a core-shell structured polydopamine molecular-imprinted gold nanoparticles (AuNP@MIP-PDA) were embedded into Fe metal-organic framework materials to form a well-defined hexagonal microspindle structure of AuNP@MIP-PDA@MIL-101(Fe). AuNP@MIP-PDA were successfully encapsulated within the MIL-101 crystals through the hydrophobic interaction between organic ligands and the aromatic groups of PDA, the chelating power of catechol groups, as well as the introduction of acetic acid. Combined with the SERS activity of AuNPs, the specific recognition sites from MIPs, and the adsorption and enrichment capability of MIL-101, the fabricated nanohybrids could be designed as highly selective SERS sensors for the detection. By effectively preventing the macromolecule adsorption and the preconcentration of 17β-E2 near the SERS-active surface, the SERS sensor could be directly applied in the selective detection of 17β-E2 in milk without tedious pretreatment. The method demonstrated an outstanding detection limit of 1.95 × 10-16 mol L-1, without the interference mainly originating from the two analogues, estrone and estriol. These promising results foresee the potential application of this novel MIP-based SERS sensor in food and environmental sensing.

Abstract
The color-enzyme lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has attracted widespread attention to expand the detection range and improve sensitivity via amplifying the color signal after catalyzing the substrate. As a kind of layered transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD), the vanadium disulfide nanosheet (VS2NS) possesses superior peroxidase-like catalytic activity. Here, a VS2NS was applied as an enzyme label in the LFIA to detect 17β-estradiol (E2). Compared to natural horseradish peroxidase, the VS2NS expresses a more prominent enzyme catalytic performance, stability, and adsorption ability. Under optimal conditions, the calculated limit of detection (cLOD) of the VS2NS-based LFIA is 0.065 ng mL-1 for E2, which is sixfold lower than that of the optimized colloidal nanoparticle-based LFIA (cLOD = 0.406 ng mL-1). Besides, the detection linear range of the VS2NS-based LFIA can be widened by 1.5 times after the catalytic reaction. Moreover, the VS2NS-based LFIA exhibits excellent practicability in real sample detection. Simultaneously, this study helps open up the application of the VS2NS in the trace analysis of LFIAs, which can broaden TMDs' scope of application and better show their properties of color enzymes.
