Porosity-Controllable Magnetoplasmonic Nanoparticles and Their Assembled Arrays
摘要： Control of the chemical and physical properties of nanoscale colloids and their nanoassemblies remains a challenging issue for enhancing the performance and functionalities of nanodevices. In this study, we report a post-synthesis etching method to tailor the porosity of the Fe3O4 shells coating on Ag NPs, establishing a facile but effective approach to regulate the chemical and optical properties of the colloids and their assembled structures. As the shell porosity increases, the NPs are transformed, producing enhanced catalytic activity and the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) effect, which results from enhanced chemical diffusion into the Ag core. Magnetoplasmonic (MagPlas) one- (1D) and two- (2D) dimensional arrays fabricated using these porosity-controllable NPs exhibit intriguing plasmon properties that are strongly affected by the porosity of the particle shell. Furthermore, the bright coloration of the 2D arrays is tuned by changing the shell porosity or introducing an additional metallic layer. Such 1D and 2D porous MagPlas metastructures possessing Fe3O4 shells with tunable porosities are a fulcrum for developing recyclable catalysts and tunable optical filters with optimized activity, selectivity, and sensitivity, as well as color displays and sensing platforms.

A novel protein binding strategy for energy-transfer-based photoelectrochemical detection of enzymatic activity of botulinum neurotoxin A
摘要： In this work, we propose a novel energy-transfer-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) platform for probing of protein-protein interaction, which associates intimately with zinc-dependent cleavage and substrate specificities in the enzymatic activities of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). Specifically, by using substrate protein SNAP-25 as the energy-transfer nanoprobe, an exciton-plasmon interaction (EPI) based strategy between CdS quantum dots (QDs) and Au nanoparticles (NPs) in a PEC system is constructed with the photocurrent declining. Interestingly, the EPI effect is then interrupted by the target botulinum neurotoxin serotype A light chain (BoNT-LCA) special cleavage of the probe SNAP-25, leading to the photocurrent recovery. Therefore, the enzymatic activity of BoNT-LCA could be sensitively detected with a detection limit of 1 pg/mL. Unlike conventional DNA-programable assembly, a protein probe is used to bridge the excitons and plasmons in this work, which provides a new route for the investigation of the EPI-based bioassay.
