Abstract
MXene is investigated as an electrode material for different energy storage systems due to layered structures and metal-like electrical conductivity. Experimental results show MXenes possess excellent cycling performance as anode materials, especially at large current densities. However, the reversible capacity is relatively low, which is a significant barrier to meeting the demands of industrial applications. This work synthesizes N-doped graphene-like carbon (NGC) intercalated Ti3C2Tx (NGC-Ti3C2Tx) van der Waals heterostructure by an in situ method. The as-prepared NGC-Ti3C2Tx van der Waals heterostructure is employed as sodium-ion and lithium-ion battery electrodes. For sodium-ion batteries, a reversible specific capacity of 305 mAh g-1 is achieved at a specific current of 20 mA g-1, 2.3 times higher than that of Ti3C2Tx. For lithium-ion batteries, a reversible capacity of 400 mAh g-1 at a specific current of 20 mA g-1 is 1.5 times higher than that of Ti3C2Tx. Both sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries made from NGC-Ti3C2Tx shows high cycling stability. The theoretical calculations also verify the remarkable improvement in battery capacity within the NGC-Ti3C2O2 system, attributed to the additional adsorption of working ions at the edge states of NGC. This work offers an innovative way to synthesize a new van der Waals heterostructure and provides a new route to improve the electrochemical performance significantly.

Abstract
The formation of clusters in non-aromatic molecules can give rise to unconventional luminescence or clusteroluminescence. Typically containing heteroatoms without extended conjugation or aromatic rings, these molecules have drawn much attention owing to the prospects of label-free biological imaging. However, their applications have been limited due to the lack of knowledge of the underlying mechanism. Herein, we have elucidated the mechanism of clusteroluminescence from proteins, which were explicitly aggregated using plasmonic silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles promoted protein aggregation and induced nitrile formation on the surface, which, along with other lone-pair-containing heteroatoms, contributed to enhanced emission in the visible range. Remarkably, this makes imaging of proteins possible with visible excitations, as co-factor-lacking proteins generally undergo electronic transitions only in the ultraviolet range. Furthermore, the inherent protein-aggregating behaviour of plasmonic nanoparticles was harnessed for imaging of intracellular Huntingtin protein aggregates overexpressed in HeLa cells through clusteroluminescence. Significant plasmon-enhanced and red-shifted fluorescence emission was observed, which helped in the imaging and localization of the intracellular aggregates. Density functional theory calculations and transient absorbance spectroscopy were used to probe the molecular interactions at the protein-nanoparticle interface and the charge transfer states, further elucidating the role of nanoparticles and the emission mechanism. This technique thus opens alternate avenues for label-free fluorescence bioimaging.

Abstract
In the field of neuroscience as well as in the clinical setting, the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) is an analyte which is important for research as well as medical purposes. There are plenty of methods available to measure dopamine quantitatively, with voltammetric ones such as differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) being among the most convenient and simple ones. However, dopamine often occurs, either naturally or because of the requirements of involved enzymatic systems, alongside substances that can influence the signal it produces upon electrochemical conversion. An example for such substances is the magnesium ion, which itself is not electrochemically active in the potential range needed for DA oxidation, but influences the dopamine signal. We have characterized the properties of DPV signals subject to the interaction between DA and Mg2+ and show that, although these properties are changing in a nonlinear fashion when both concentrations are varying, relatively simple linear mathematical models can be used to determine dopamine concentrations quantitatively in the presence of magnesium ions. The focus of this study is thus, the mathematical treatment of experimental data in order to overcome an analytical problem and not the investigation of the chemical background of DA-Mg2+ interaction.

Abstract
The early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) can significantly improve treatment and quality of life in patients. 5-S-Cysteinyl-dopamine (CDA) is a key metabolite of high relevance for the early detection of PD. Therefore, its sensitive detection with fast and robust methods can improve its use as a biomarker. In this work we show the potentialities of label-free SERS spectroscopy in detecting CDA in aqueous solutions and artificial biofluids, with a simple, fast and sensitive approach. We present a detailed experimental SERS band assignment of CDA employing silver nanoparticle (AgNP) substrates in aqueous media, which was supported by theoretical calculations and simulated Raman and SERS spectra. The tentative orientation of CDA over the AgNP was also studied, indicating that catechol and carboxylic acid play a key role in the metallic surface adsorption. Moreover, we showed that SERS can allow us to identify CDA in aqueous media at low concentration, leading to the identification of some of its characteristic bands in pure water and in synthetic cerebrospinal fluid (SCSF) below 1 × 10-8 M, while its band identification in simulated urine (SUR) can be reached at 1 × 10-7 M. In conclusion, we show that CDA can be suitably detected by means of label-free SERS spectroscopy, which can significantly improve its sensitive detection for further analytical studies as a novel biomarker and further clinical diagnosis in PD patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Dopamine (DA) is one of the most important neurotransmitters associated with numerous neural disorders. This investigation reports the intramolecular interactions present in the isomers of neutral (DA0), anionic (DA-), and cationic (DA+) dopamine isomers in gas, water, and ethanol mediums. Neutral and anion isomers have O-H∙∙∙O, C-H∙∙∙N intramolecular hydrogen bonds and N-H∙∙∙π interactions. All the interactions are electrostatic in nature. Isomers of cation dopamine show no intramolecular interactions in the solvent. Natural charges from natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis show that O-H∙∙∙O bonds and the N-H∙∙∙π interactions are the most and least polar, respectively. 1H NMR study reveals the inverse linear correlation between shielding constant and electron density in a solvent medium. HOMO-LUMO energy gap indicates higher stability for neutral and cationic forms of dopamine isomers in water and ethanol medium. METHODS We have optimized all the structural forms of dopamine molecule using the Becke three hybrid exchange and Lee-Yang-Parr correlation functional with Grimme's dispersion correction, B3LYP-D3(BJ), and aug-cc-pVTZ basis set using the Gaussian16 software. Vibrational frequency analysis with no imaginary frequencies confirms the nature of global minima. The solvent studies (water and ethanol) were carried out using the SCRF keyword and the polarisable continuum model (PCM) of Miertus and Tomasi. NBO analysis and NMR studies were also performed for all conformers. Topology analysis was explored using the software Multiwfn.

Abstract
The abnormal metabolism or imbalance of dopamine may lead to some neurological disorders. Therefore, the facile and fast detection of this neurotransmitter is essential in the early diagnosis of some diseases. One of the methods that can be used for the detection and determination of dopamine is the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In this contribution, we report a very strong influence of some salts (we used salts containing Na+ cations and the following anions: SO42-, F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-) on the spectral patterns and intensity of the SERS spectra of dopamine adsorbed on a nanostructured macroscopic silver substrate. The analysis of the recorded SERS spectra based on the assignments of Raman bands from the density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and based on the SERS surface selection rules reveals that when molecules of dopamine are adsorbed from an aqueous solution to which no electrolytes have been added, they adopt a flat orientation versus the silver surface; whereas, the molecules of dopamine co-adsorbed with various ions interact with the silver surface, mainly via phenolic groups, and they adopt a perpendicular orientation versus the metal surface. An addition of electrolytes also significantly influences the intensity of the recorded SERS spectrum; for example, an addition of Na2SO4 to a final concentration of 1 M induces an increase in the intensity of the measured SERS spectrum by a factor of ca. 40. This means that the addition of electrolytes to the analyzed solution can reduce the limit of detection of dopamine by SERS spectroscopy. The abovementioned findings may facilitate the construction of dopamine SERS sensors.

Abstract
Nanostructures made of magnetic cores (from Fe3O4) with attached silver plasmonic nanostructures were covered with a very thin layer of silica. The (Fe3O4@Ag)@SiO2 magnetic–plasmonic nanomaterial can be manipulated using a magnetic field. For example, one can easily form homogeneous layers from this nanomaterial using a very simple procedure: deposition of a layer of a sol of such a nanostructure and evaporation of the solvent after placing the sample in a strong magnetic field. Due to the rapid magnetic immobilization of the magnetic–plasmonic nanomaterial on the investigated surface, no coffee-ring effect occurs during the evaporation of the solvent. In this contribution, we report the first example of a magnetic, silver-based plasmonic nanomaterial for shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS). Nanoresonators based on silver plasmonic nanostructures locally enhance the intensity of the exciting electromagnetic radiation in a significantly broader frequency range than the previously used magnetic SHINERS nanoresonators with gold plasmonic nanostructures. Example applications where the resulting nanomaterial was used for the SHINERS investigation of a monolayer of mercaptobenzoic acid chemisorbed on platinum, and for a standard SERS determination of dopamine, are also presented.

Abstract
Quantitative, label-free detection of neurotransmitters is of vital importance to the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic diseases. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect has great application prospects in the field of biosensing and bioimaging because of its unique nondestructive testing and its capability of being used in molecular fingerprint identification. However, the quantitative SERS analysis of neurotransmitters is still a great challenge because of the poor reproducibility of the SERS-active sites, as well as the small Raman cross-section and low physiological concentration of neurotransmitter molecules. Here, we report the development of a stellate gold nanostructure with a 1 nm interior gap for the quantitative detection of neurotransmitters. The internal reference embedded into the hollow gap of the stellate gold nanoparticle allows the calibration of the signal of analytes absorbed on the surface, which improves the R-squared value of the linear fitting curve from 0.56 to 0.97 for quantitative dopamine detection. Our developed self-referenced SERS substrate holds great potential for label-free, quantitative SERS-based biosensing.

Abstract
Phototheranostic offers a regional-focused tumor treatment upon photoirradiation. However, it is difficult to completely eradicate solid tumors using a conventional phototheranostic owing to the residual tumor cells outside the laser irradiation range. Herein, we fabricated a metallopolysaccharide-based smart nanotheranostic (Fe-dHA) via a nanoassembly-driven method, in which Fe3+ ions were coordinated to dopamine-modified biopolysaccharide hyaluronic acid (dHA). Taking advantage of the structural backbone and intrinsic dual-information-related functions of HA as well as the bi-functional Fe(III)-coordination centers, Fe-dHA can efficiently target tumor cells for phototheranostic. Additionally, it can be activated by endogenous overexpressed hyaluronidase to achieve sequential ferroptosis in tumor cells. The precise imaging and effective tumor inhibition using this metallopolysaccharide-based nanotheranostic were significantly demonstrated in vivo and in vitro. Thus, this rationally designed Fe-dHA provided a simple metallopolysaccharide strategy to develop an "all-in-one" smart nanotheranostic to synergize different therapeutic modalities for improving cancer therapy.

Abstract
Computational and experimental studies have been carried out on Dopamine. The calculated Raman spectra of Dopamine with and without Silver clusters (Agn (n = 1-4)) are compared with each other and it is shown that the intensity of the Raman activity increases with increasing number of silver atoms. The SERS effect shown by this system is further supported by calculating the Global electrophilicity index ω, the static mean polarizability α0, and the anisotropy of the polarizabilities Δα. Stabilities of the complexes are analysed using the charge transfer, stabilization energies, and interaction energies. The reactive parameters for these complexes were further supported by looking at the molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) surfaces. SERS substrates were fabricated by sintering silver nanoparticle paste onto a fused silica substrate, using a femtosecond laser. Detection of Dopamine up to 1 μM is reported using the SERS substrates.

Smartphone-integrated colorimetric sensor array-based reader system and fluorometric detection of dopamine in male and female geriatric plasma by bluish-green fluorescent carbon quantum dots. Mater Today Bio 2021; 12:100168. [PMID: 34877521 PMCID: PMC8628042 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2021.100168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
A simple, cost-effective system was developed for dopamine (DA) detection using green synthesized 1-6 nm honey-based carbon quantum dots (H-CQDs) exhibiting bluish green fluorescence. The H-CQDs exhibited emission at 445 nm, with a quantum yield of ∼44%. The H-CQDs were used as a probe for electron transfer based DA detection and changes in H-CQD color in the presence of DA. The H-CQDs were formed with polar functional groups and were highly soluble in aqueous media. In the fluorometric mode, the proposed system demonstrated high specificity toward DA and effective limit of detection (LOD) values of 6, 8.5, and 8 nM in deionized (DI) water, male geriatric plasma, and female geriatric plasma, respectively, in the linear range 100 nM-1000 μM. In the colorimetric mode, the color changed within 5 min, and the LOD was 163 μM. A colorimetric sensor array system was used to precisely detect DA with a smartphone-integrated platform using an in house built imaging application and an analyzer app. Additionally, no additives were required, and the H-CQDs were not functionalized. More importantly, the H-CQDs were morphologically and analytically characterized before and after DA detection. Because the sensor array-based system allows high specificity DA detection in both DI water and geriatric plasma, it will play an important role in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) regulates several functions in the central nervous system and its depletion is responsible for psychological disorders like Parkinson's disease. Several analytical approaches have been presented for DA detection in pathological diagnosis. SERS spectroscopy is a highly promising technique for the sensitive detection of DA. However, an improvement in its detection in aqueous solution is highly desirable for reliable quantification in biological fluids. In this work, we explored a label-free SERS approach for DA detection, employing two conventional methods to synthesize Ag colloids: reduction via citrates (c-AgNPs) and reduction via hydroxylamine (h-AgNPs), and SERS measurements were performed with a laser at 488 nm wavelength. Under these conditions, DA was identified through reproducible SERS spectra in the c-AgNP medium; however, the SERS spectra of DA in h-AgNP solution showed a completely different SERS profile. SERS band analysis revealed that DA in h-AgNPs was oxidized and converted into polydopamine (PDA), which was triggered after exposure to laser radiation. DA oxidation and PDA formation were followed over time through the SERS band profile at pH 7, 9 and 12. We found that in situ PDA formation started after 50 min of laser irradiation of DA at pH 7, while DA was quickly oxidized at pH 9 and 12. Here, we present a detailed SERS band analysis of PDA, which sheds light on the molecular steps in the pathway formation of the PDA structure. Spectroscopic analysis and characterization revealed that a long laser exposure time led to the formation of stable PDA complexes with AgNPs, which allowed us to propose a novel approach for synthesis of AgNP-PDA composites. In conclusion, to detect DA through a label-free SERS approach, c-AgNPs must be employed, while stable AgNP-PDA materials can be achieved with h-AgNPs and 488 nm laser excitation.

Abstract
Objective: Medical device development, from the product's conception to release to market, is very complex and relies significantly on the application of exact processes. This paper aims to provide an analysis and summary of current research in the field of medical device development methodologies, discuss its phases, and evaluate the associated legislative and risk aspects. Methods: The literature search was conducted to detect peer-reviewed studies in Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct, on content published between 2007 and November 2019. Based on exclusion and inclusion criteria, 13 papers were included in the first session and 11 were included in the second session. Thus, a total of 24 papers were analyzed. Most of the publications originated in the United States (7 out of 24). Results: The medical device development process comprises one to seven stages. Six studies also contain a model of the medical device development process for all stages or for just some of the stages. These studies specifically describe the concept stage during which all uncertainties, such as the clinical need definition, customer requirements/needs, finances, reimbursement strategy, team selection, and legal aspects, must be considered. Conclusion: The crucial factor in healthcare safety is the stability of factors over a long production time. Good manufacturing practices cannot be tested on individual batches of products; they must be inherently built into the manufacturing process. The key issues that must be addressed in the future are the consistency in the classification of devices throughout the EU and globally, and the transparency of approval processes.

Abstract
The mussel-inspired properties of dopamine have attracted immense scientific interest for surface modification of nanoparticles due to the high potential of dopamine functional groups to increase the adhesion of nanoparticles to flat surfaces. Here, we report for the first time a novel type of inhibitor-loaded nanocontainer using polydopamine (PDA) as a pH-sensitive gatekeeper for mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The encapsulated inhibitor (benzotriazole) was loaded into MSNs at neutral pH, demonstrating fast release in an acidic environment. The self-healing effect of water-borne alkyd coatings doped with nanocontainers was achieved by both on-demand release of benzotriazole during the corrosion process and formation of the complexes between the dopamine functional groups and iron oxides, thus providing dual self-healing protection for the mild steel substrate. The coatings were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, visual observations, and confocal Raman microscopy. In all cases, the coatings with embedded benzotriazole-loaded MSNs with PDA-decorated outer surfaces demonstrated superior self-healing effects on the damaged areas. We anticipate that dopamine-based multifunctional gatekeepers can find application potential not only in intelligent self-healing anticorrosive coatings but also in drug delivery, antimicrobial protection, and other fields.

Abstract
With the goal of accurately detecting and quantifying the amounts of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) in mixtures of these neurotransmitters without using any labelling, we present a detailed, comparative computational and Raman experimental study. Although discrimination between these two analytes is achievable in such mixtures for concentrations in the millimolar range, their accurate quantification remains unattainable. As shown for the first time in this work, the formation of a new composite resulting from their interactions with each other is the main reason for this lack of quantification. While this new hydrogen-bonded complex further complicates potential analyte discrimination and quantification at concentrations characteristic of physiological levels (i.e., nanomolar concentrations), it can also open new avenues for its use in drug delivery and pharmaceutical research. This remark is based not only on chemical interactions analyzed here from both theoretical and experimental approaches, but also on biological relationship, with consideration of both functional and neural proximity perspectives. Thus, this research constitutes an important contribution toward better understanding of neural processes, as well as toward possible future development of label-free biosensors.

Abstract
To better understand detection and monitoring of the important neurotransmitter adenosine at physiological levels, this study combines quantum chemical density functional modeling and ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) measurements. Combined simulation results and experimental data for an analyte concentration of about 10-11 molar indicate the presence of all known molecular forms resulting from adenosine's complex redox-reaction. Detailed analysis presented here, besides assessing potential Raman signatures of these adenosinic forms, also sheds light on the analytic redox process and voltammetric detection. Examples of adenosine Raman fingerprints for different molecular orientations with respect to the SERS substrate are the vibrational line around 920 ± 10 cm-1 for analyte physisorption through the carbinol moiety and around 1600 ± 20 cm-1 for its fully oxidized form. However, both hydroxyl/oxygen sites and NH₂/nitrogen sites contribute to molecule's interaction with the SERS environment. Our results also reveal that contributions of partially oxidized adenosine forms and of the standard form are more likely to be detected with the first recorded voltammetric oxidation peak. The fully oxidized adenosine form contributes mostly to the second peak. Thus, this comparative theoretical⁻experimental investigation of adenosine's vibrational signatures provides significant insights for advancing its detection, and for future development of opto-voltammetric biosensors.

Abstract
Drug-polymer conjugation is a simple and efficient approach to synthesizing new, effective, and potent antimicrobial agents to counter the problem of microbial resistance. In the present study, a PEGylated dopamine ester (PDE) was synthesized using the PEGylation process and synthesis of PDE was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis (CHNS-O), and atomic force microscopy techniques. Later, the antimicrobial activity of PDE was assessed against four strains of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Proteus vulgaris; Gram (-)) and two fungi (Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus) by the agar well diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PDE was also determined by the broth dilution method against bacteria. PDE showed significant zones of inhibition ranged from 21 to 27 mm for bacteria and 16 to 20 mm for fungi under study, which were much higher than those for dopamine hydrochloride. MIC values of PDE showed its potential antimicrobial property.

Abstract
Many studies have shown that it is important to consider the harmful effects of phenolic hormones on the human body. Traditional UV detection has many limitations, so there is a need to develop new detection methods. We demonstrated a simple and rapid surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) based detection method of trace amounts of phenolic estrogen. As a result of the coupling reaction, there is the formation of strong SERRS activity of azo compound. Therefore, the detection limits are as low as 0.2 × 10-4 for estrone (E1), estriol (E3), and bisphenol A (BPA). This method is universal because each SERRS fingerprint of the azo dyes a specific hormone. The use of this method is applicable for the testing of phenolic hormones through coupling reactions, and the investigation of other phenolic molecules. Therefore, this new method can be used for efficient detection.
