PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 304:123331. [PMID: 37688887 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
Localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) biosensing using optical fibers has gained popularity due to its label-free approach and high sensitivity to changes in the nanoparticle surface's local index of refraction. However, improving sensitivity remains a challenge. In this study, a two-step approach was employed to fabricate a composite structure using gold nanoparticles and monolayer graphene (Gr-AuNPs). The combination of AuNPs and graphene membrane demonstrated high potential for Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) fiber sensors. The Gr-AuNPs sensor successfully detected R6G molecules with a low detection limit of 10-12 M, indicating promising SERS activity. Numerical simulations confirmed that the graphene generated densely hot spots in the nanogap region between plasmonic layers. It's interesting that the proposed SPR-SERS Sensor can detect both glucose and thiram. This demonstrates the sensors practicality and can help with a basic environmental need to find leftover pesticides in the soil. The combination of SPR-SERS dual-mode detection provides more options for detecting and verifying data, increasing the precision and repeatability of experiments.

Abstract
Avian influenza virus (AIV) is a zoonotic virus that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Although human infections are rare, the virus has a high mortality rate when contracted. Appropriate detection methods are thus crucial for combatting this pathogen. There is a growing demand for rapid, selective, and accurate methods of identifying the virus. Numerous biosensors have been designed and commercialized to detect AIV. However, they all have considerable shortcomings. Nanotechnology offers a new way forward. Nanomaterials produce more eco-friendly, rapid, and portable diagnostic systems. They also exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity while achieving a low detection limit (LOD). This paper reviews state-of-the-art nanomaterial-based biosensors for AIV detection, such as those composed of quantum dots, gold, silver, carbon, silica, nanodiamond, and other nanoparticles. It also offers insight into potential trial protocols for creating more effective methods of identifying AIV and discusses key issues associated with developing nanomaterial-based biosensors.

Abstract
In contemporary science and technology, photonic sensors are essential. They may be made to be extremely resistant to some physical parameters while also being extremely sensitive to other physical variables. Most photonic sensors may be incorporated on chips and operate with CMOS technology, making them suitable for use as extremely sensitive, compact, and affordable sensors. Photonic sensors can detect electromagnetic (EM) wave changes and convert them into an electric signal due to the photoelectric effect. Depending on the requirements, scientists have found ways to develop photonic sensors based on several interesting platforms. In this work, we extensively review the most generally utilized photonic sensors for detecting vital environmental parameters and personal health care. These sensing systems include optical waveguides, optical fibers, plasmonics, metasurfaces, and photonic crystals. Various aspects of light are used to investigate the transmission or reflection spectra of photonic sensors. In general, resonant cavity or grating-based sensor configurations that work on wavelength interrogation methods are preferred, so these sensor types are mostly presented. We believe that this paper will provide insight into the novel types of available photonic sensors.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:9075. [PMID: 36501777 PMCID: PMC9739458 DOI: 10.3390/s22239075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Herein a gold nanosphere (AuNS)-coated wavelength-mode localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) fiber sensor was fabricated by a simple and time-saving electrostatic self-assembly method using poly(allylamine hydrochloride). Based on the localized enhanced coupling effect between AuNSs, the LSPR spectrums of the AuNS monolayer with good dispersity and high density exhibited a favourable capability for refractive index (RI) measurement. Based on the results obtained from the optimization for AuNS distribution, sensing length, and RI range, the best RI sensitivity of the fiber modified by 100 nm AuNS reached up to about 2975 nm/RIU, with the surrounding RI range from 1.3322 to 1.3664. Using an 80 nm AuNS-modified fiber sensor, the RI sensitivity of 3953 nm/RIU was achieved, with the RI range increased from 1.3744 to 1.3911. The effect of sensing length to RI sensitivity was proven to be negligible. Furthermore, the linear relationship between the RI sensitivity and plasma resonance frequency of the bulk metal, which was dependent on the interparticle plasmon coupling effect, was quantified. Additionally, the resonance peak was tuned from 539.18 nm to 820.48 nm by different sizes of AuNSs-coated fiber sensors at a RI of 1.3322, which means the spectrum was extended from VIS to NIR. It has enormous potential in hypersensitive biochemistry detection at VIS and NIR ranges.

Abstract
Optical fiber technology, in association with the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), has opened a new gateway for quick, easier, and accurate sensing of various chemical, biochemical, and biological parameters. Continuous efforts can be seen in the direction of increasing the sensitivity of the optical fiber biosensors; thus, many hybrid nanostructured optical fiber biosensors composing different nanomaterials, nanomaterial combinations, and different 2D materials have been proposed in the past few decades. This paper discusses the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanoparticles to the most favorable noble metal for SPR biosensing, i.e., gold. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared by the Turkevich method, and the optical property of AuNPs was characterized using the UV-visible spectrophotometer and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique. In addition, the synthesis, characterization, and application of the oxide form the most explored 2D material, i.e., graphene, are also presented in this paper. The graphene oxide was synthesized using an easier and economical method, i.e., a modified Hummer's method, and an evaluation of the characteristics has been done by a UV-visible spectrophotometer and TEM results.

Abstract
The current pandemic of the acute severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) killed about 6.4 million and infected more than 600 million individuals by august of 2022, and researchers worldwide are searching for fast and selective approaches for this virus detection. Colorimetric biosensors are an excellent alternative because they are sensitive, simple, fast, and low-cost for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 compared to standard Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques. This study systematically searched and reviewed literature data related to colorimetric biosensors in detecting SARS-CoV-2 viruses, recovered from the Scopus (n = 16), Web of Science (n = 19), PubMed (n = 19), and Science Direct (n = 17) databases totalizing n = 71 articles. Data were analyzed for the type of nanomaterial, biorecognition material at the detection limit (LOD), and devices designed for diagnostics. The most applied nanomaterial were gold nanoparticles, in their original form and hybrid in quantum dots and core-shell. In addition, we show high specificity in point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices as a faster and cheaper alternative for clinical diagnosis. Finally, the highlights of the colorimetric biosensor developed for diagnostic devices applied in swabs, surgical masks, and lateral flow immunoassays were presented.

Abstract
In the last few decades, plasmonic colorimetric biosensors raised increasing interest in bioanalytics thanks to their cost-effectiveness, responsiveness, and simplicity as compared to conventional laboratory techniques. Potential high-throughput screening and easy-to-use assay procedures make them also suitable for realizing point of care devices. Nevertheless, several challenges such as fabrication complexity, laborious biofunctionalization, and poor sensitivity compromise their technological transfer from research laboratories to industry and, hence, still hamper their adoption on large-scale. However, newly-developing plasmonic colorimetric biosensors boast impressive sensing performance in terms of sensitivity, dynamic range, limit of detection, reliability, and specificity thereby continuously encouraging further researches. In this review, recently reported plasmonic colorimetric biosensors are discussed with a focus on the following categories: (i) on-platform-based (localized surface plasmon resonance, coupled plasmon resonance and surface lattice resonance); (ii) colloid aggregation-based (label-based and label free); (iii) colloid non-aggregation-based (nanozyme, etching-based and growth-based).

Abstract
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) optical fiber biosensing is an advanced and powerful label-free technique which gets great attention for its high sensitivity to refractive index change in surroundings. However, the pursuit of a higher sensitivity is still challenging and should be further investigated. In this paper, based on a monolayer graphene/gold nanoparticles (Grm/Au NPs) three-dimensional (3D) hybrid structure, we fabricated a D-shaped plastic optical fiber (D-POF) LSPR sensor using a facile two-step method. The coupling enhancement of the resonance of this multilayer structure was extremely excited by the surface plasmon property of the stacked Au NPs/Grm layer. We found that the number of plasmonic structure layers was of high importance to the performance of the sensor. Moreover, the optimal electromagnetic field enhancement effect was found in three-layer plasmonic structure. Besides, the n*(Grm/Au NPs)/D-POF sensor exhibited outstanding performance in sensitivity (2160 nm/RIU), linearity (linear fitting coefficient R2 = 0.996) and reproducibility. Moreover, the sensor successfully detected the concentration of glucose, achieving a sensitivity of 1317.61 nm/RIU, which suggested a promising prospect for the application in medicine and biotechnology.

Abstract
Optical fiber biosensors have attracted growing interest over the last decade and quickly became a key enabling technology, especially for the detection of biomarkers at extremely low concentrations and in small volumes. Among the many and recent fiber-optic sensing amenities, aptamers-based sensors have shown unequalled performances in terms of ease of production, specificity, and sensitivity. The immobilization of small and highly stable bioreceptors such as DNA has bolstered their use for the most varied applications e.g., medical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring. This review highlights the recent advances in aptamer-based optical fiber biosensors. An in-depth analysis of the literature summarizes different fiber-optic structures and biochemical strategies for molecular detection and immobilization of receptors over diverse surfaces. In this review, we analyze the features offered by those sensors and discuss about the next challenges to be addressed. This overview investigates both biochemical and optical parameters, drawing the guiding lines for forthcoming innovations and prospects in this ever-growing field of research.

Abstract
A highly sensitive plasmonic refractive index biosensor for hemoglobin protein detection in blood is presented in the near-infrared region. The proposed Au split-ring resonator structure with an extra arm is used to increase electric field enhancement intensity in the vicinity of the nanostructure, which excites localized surface plasmon resonances in the metal-dielectric interface and leads to unity absorption. The footprint of the proposed structure is λ3/125 (λ denoting center wavelength). Through the results from the finite element method (FEM), by variation of the spacer material, and inserting a graphene layer between the spacer and the gold nanostructure, maximum sensitivities of 1804.1 nm/RIU and 2448.45 nm/RIU are achieved, respectively.

Abstract
Function expansion of fiber sensor is highly desired for ultrasensitive optical detection and analysis. Here, we present an approach of multifunctional fiber sensor based on Fano resonances and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excited via cylindrical vector beam with ability of refractive index (RI) sensing, nano-distance detection, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Silver (Ag)-nanocube modified microfiber is theoretically proved to enable to detect RI of the nearby solids and gases based on Fano resonances with a sensitivity of 128.63 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) and 148.21 nm/RIU for solids and gases, respectively. The scattering spectrum of the Ag nanocube has the red-shift response to the varies of the nano-distance between the nanocube and the nearby solid, providing a detection sensitivity up to 1.48 nm (wavelength)/nm (distance). Moreover, this configuration is theoretically verified to have ability to significantly enhance electric field intensity. Radially polarized beam is proved to enhance the electric field intensity as large as 5 times in the side-face configuration compared with linear polarization beam. This fiber-based sensing method is helpful in fields of remote detection, multiple species detection, and cylindrical vector beam-based detection.

Abstract
Surface plasmonic sensors have been widely used in biology, chemistry, and environment monitoring. These sensors exhibit extraordinary sensitivity based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects, and they have found commercial applications. In this review, we present recent progress in the field of surface plasmonic sensors, mainly in the configurations of planar metastructures and optical-fiber waveguides. In the metastructure platform, the optical sensors based on LSPR, hyperbolic dispersion, Fano resonance, and two-dimensional (2D) materials integration are introduced. The optical-fiber sensors integrated with LSPR/SPR structures and 2D materials are summarized. We also introduce the recent advances in quantum plasmonic sensing beyond the classical shot noise limit. The challenges and opportunities in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Plasmonic biosensors, operating in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region, are well-suited for highly specific and label-free optical biosensing. The principle of operation is based on detecting the shift in resonance wavelength caused by the interaction of biomolecules with the surrounding medium. However, metallic plasmonic biosensors suffer from poor signal transduction and high optical losses in the mid-IR range, leading to low sensitivity. Here, we introduce a hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) biosensor, that exploits the strong, tunable, mid-IR localization of graphene plasmons, for detecting nanometric biomolecules with high sensitivity. The HMM stack consists of alternating graphene/Al2O3 multilayers, on top of a gold grating structure with rounded corners, to produce plasmonic hotspots and enhance sensing performance. Sensitivity and figure-of-merit (FOM) can be systematically tuned, by varying the structural parameters of the HMM stack and the doping levels (Fermi energy) in graphene. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis demonstrates that the proposed biosensor can achieve sensitivities as high as 4052 nm RIU-1 (refractive index unit) with a FOM of 11.44 RIU-1. We anticipate that the reported graphene/Al2O3 HMM device will find potential application as a mid-IR, highly sensitive plasmonic biosensor, for tunable and label-free detection.

Abstract
In recent years, surface plasmon resonance devices (SPR, or named plamonics) have attracted much more attention because of their great prospects in breaking through the optical diffraction limit and developing new photons and sensing devices. At the same time, the combination of SPR and optical fiber promotes the development of the compact micro-probes with high-performance and the integration of fiber and planar waveguide. Different from the long-range SPR of planar metal nano-films, the local-SPR (LSPR) effect can be excited by incident light on the surface of nano-scaled metal particles, resulting in local enhanced light field, i.e., optical hot spot. Metal nano-particles-modified optical fiber LSPR sensor has high sensitivity and compact structure, which can realize the real-time monitoring of physical parameters, environmental parameters (temperature, humidity), and biochemical molecules (pH value, gas-liquid concentration, protein molecules, viruses). In this paper, both fabrication and application of the metal nano-particles modified optical fiber LSPR sensor probe are reviewed, and its future development is predicted.
