Low-cost and high sensitivity glucose sandwich detection using a plasmonic nanodisk metasurface
摘要： Glucose detection using Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy has aroused considerable attention due to its potential in the prevention and diagnosis of diabetes as a result of its unique molecular fingerprinting capability, ultrahigh sensitivity and minimal interference from water. Despite numerous solutions to improve the sensitivity of glucose detection, the development of a new SERS-based strategy to detect glucose with high sensitivity and low-cost is still required. In this study, we propose a simple and sensitive SERS-based plasmonic metasurface sensing platform for a glucose sandwich assay using self-assembled p-mercapto-phenylboronic acid (PMBA) monolayers on a gold nanodisk (Au-ND) metasurface and synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) modified with a mixture of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) and PMBA. The localized near-field of the proposed plasmonic metasurface is markedly enhanced due to the coupling between the Au-ND and Ag NPs, which greatly improves detection sensitivity. The experimental results show that SERS signals of the glucose assay are significantly enhanced by more than 8-fold, in comparison with the SERS substrate of smooth Au film and Ag NPs. Moreover, the plasmonic metasurface-based glucose sandwich assay exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity for glucose over fructose and galactose. The developed plasmonic metasurface sensing platform shows enormous potential for highly sensitive and selective SERS-based glucose detection and opens a new avenue for scalable and cost-effective biosensing applications in the future.

Hierarchical Laser-Patterned Silver/Graphene Oxide Hybrid SERS Sensor for Explosive Detection
摘要： We demonstrate an ultrafast laser-ablated hierarchically patterned silver nanoparticle/graphene oxide (AgNP/GO) hybrid surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for highly sensitive and reproducible detection of an explosive marker 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT). A hierarchical laser-patterned silver sheet (Ag?S) is achieved by ultrafast laser ablation in air with pulse energies of 25, 50, and 100 μJ. Multiple laser pulses at a wavelength of 800 nm and a pulse repetition rate of 50 fs at 1 kHz are directly focused on Ag?S to produce and deposit AgNPs onto Ag?S. The surface morphology of ablated Ag?S was evaluated using atomic force microscopy, optical pro?lometry, and ?eld emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). A rapid increase in the ablation rate with increasing laser energy was observed. Selected area Raman mapping is performed to understand the intensity and size distribution of AgNPs on Ag?S. Further, GO was spin-coated onto the AgNPs produced by ultrafast ablation on Ag?S. The hierarchical laser-patterned AgNP/GO hybrid structure was characterized using FESEM, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray di?raction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Further, hierarchical laser-patterned AgNP/GO hybrid structures have been utilized as SERS-active substrates for the selective detection of 2,4-DNT, an explosive marker. The developed SERS-active sensor shows good stability and high sensitivity up to picomolar (pM) concentration range with a Raman intensity enhancement of ～1010 for 2,4-DNT. The realized enhancement of SERS intensity is due to the cumulative e?ect of GO coated on Ag?S as a proactive layer and AgNPs produced by ultrafast ablation.

Plasmonic Nanoassemblies: Tentacles Beat Satellites for Boosting Broadband NIR Plasmon Coupling Providing a Novel Candidate for SERS and Photothermal Therapy
摘要： Optical theranostic applications demand near-infrared (NIR) localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and maximized electric field at nano-surfaces and nanojunctions, aiding diagnosis via Raman or optoacoustic imaging, and photothermal-based therapies. To this end, multiple permutations and combinations of plasmonic nanostructures and molecular “glues” or linkers are employed to obtain nanoassemblies, such as nano-branches and core–satellite morphologies. An advanced nanoassembly morphology comprising multiple linear tentacles anchored onto a spherical core is reported here. Importantly, this core-multi-tentacle-nanoassembly (CMT) benefits from numerous plasmonic interactions between multiple 5 nm gold nanoparticles (NPs) forming each tentacle as well as tentacle to core (15 nm) coupling. This results in an intense LSPR across the “biological optical window” of 650?1100 nm. It is shown that the combined interactions are responsible for the broadband LSPR and the intense electric field, otherwise not achievable with core–satellite morphologies. Further the sub 80 nm CMTs boosted NIR-surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), with detection of SERS labels at 47 × 10-9 m, as well as lower toxicity to noncancerous cell lines (human fibroblast Wi38) than observed for cancerous cell lines (human breast cancer MCF7), presents itself as an attractive candidate for use as biomedical theranostics agents.

A review of 2D and 3D plasmonic nanostructure array patterns: fabrication, light management and sensing applications
摘要： This review article discusses progress in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) chip-based nanostructure array patterns. Recent advancements in fabrication techniques for nano-arrays have endowed researchers with tools to explore a material’s plasmonic optical properties. In this review, fabrication techniques including electron-beam lithography, focused-ion lithography, dip-pen lithography, laser interference lithography, nanosphere lithography, nanoimprint lithography, and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template-based lithography are introduced and discussed. Nano-arrays have gained increased attention because of their optical property dependency (light-matter interactions) on size, shape, and periodicity. In particular, nano-array architectures can be tailored to produce and tune plasmonic modes such as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), surface plasmon polariton (SPP), extraordinary transmission, surface lattice resonance (SLR), Fano resonance, plasmonic whispering-gallery modes (WGMs), and plasmonic gap mode. Thus, light management (absorption, scattering, transmission, and guided wave propagation), as well as electromagnetic (EM) field enhancement, can be controlled by rational design and fabrication of plasmonic nano-arrays. Because of their optical properties, these plasmonic modes can be utilized for designing plasmonic sensors and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors.

Large-scale highly ordered periodic Au nano-discs/graphene and graphene/Au nanoholes plasmonic substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering
摘要： In this paper, the study of using masks to directly generate large area, highly ordered and periodical nanostructure has been exhibited. Periodic Au nano-discs(NDs) arrays have been fabricated on top of graphene by using holey Si3N4 mask which is directly fixed on top of graphene and Au metal is deposited through the holes in mask by thermal evaporation method under vacuum condition. This fabrication method provides an easy, fast and cost efficiency way to generate periodical nanostructure. Also, Au nanoholes(NHs) structure has been studied by using holey Si3N4 as a template. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensitivities of periodical Au NDs/graphene and graphene/Au NHs hybrid structures have been systematically studied. The internal mechanisms could be explained by chemical mechanism effect of graphene and electromagnetic mechanism effect of metallic nano-structures. The enhancement factors have been systematically investigated by varying the diameter and the thickness of Au discs and Au NHs. Raman mappings of Au NDs with 2.5 μm diameter illustrate that the larger SERS enhancements exist in the rim of NDs which has good agreement with the electric field simulation result. The SERE enhancement factors of fluorescein obtained from Au NDs/graphene substrates shows an improvement factor of 500% in comparison of graphene substrate. The calculated SERS enhancement factors of graphene/Au NHs achieve 1,200% in comparison of graphene/planar Au film substrate.

On-Demand Electromagnetic Hotspot Generation in Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrates via “Add-On” Plasmonic Patch
摘要： Electromagnetic hotspots at the interstices of plasmonic assemblies are recognized to be the most potent sites for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We demonstrate a novel “add-on” electromagnetic hotspot formation technique, which significantly improves the sensitivity of conventional SERS substrates comprised of individual plasmonic nanostructures. The novel approach demonstrated here involves the transfer of “plasmonic patch”, a transparent, flexible and conformal elastomeric film adsorbed with plasmonic nanostructures, onto a conventional SERS substrate. The addition of plasmonic patch onto conventional SERS substrate following the analyte capture results in the formation of electromagnetic hotspots and hence large SERS enhancement. The application of plasmonic patch improves the sensitivity and limit of detection of conventional SERS substrates by upto ~100-fold. The transfer of plasmonic patch also effectively transforms the SERS-inactive gold mirror to a highly SERS-active “particle-on-mirror” system. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the “add-on” technique can be effectively utilized for the vapor phase detection of explosives such as trinitrotoluene (TNT) using peptide recognition elements. We believe that the on-demand hotspot formation approach presented here represents a highly versatile and ubiquitously applicable technology readily expandable to any existing SERS substrate without employing complicated modification.

A Simple and Rapid Method to Produce SERS Substrates Using Au Nanoparticles Prepared by Laser Ablation and DVD Template
摘要： Simple and highly sensitive SERS substrates were produced using Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) prepared by laser ablation in water and available Digital Video Discs (DVDs). We used the simple ‘‘drop-cast’’ method to deposit AuNPs on the grating pattern surface of a DVD in place of the other methods such as electrochemical deposition, electrophoretic deposition and sputtering method which require some more equipment. AuNPs were proposed to be synthesized in water by laser ablation to form a nearly circular AuNP stain of small size on a DVD surface. The protecting polycarbonate layer of a DVD was removed from the DVD surface. The bare metallic DVD surface was rinsed carefully with ethanol and distilled water. The width of tracks on a DVD surface is around 300 nm and distance between them is around 450 nm. We prepared AuNPs by pulsed laser ablation of a gold piece in distilled water. The colloidal gold nanoparticles were deposited on DVD templates. We studied to produce an effective layer of AuNPs on DVD template for SERS substrates (AuNPs/DVD). The average SERS enhancement factor of the AuNPs/DVD SERS substrates is about 106. The SERS substrates can detect SERS spectra of Malachite Green and Amoxicillin at low concentrations of around 0.1–1 ppm.

A high-resolution study of in situ surface-enhanced Raman scattering nanotag behavior in biological systems
摘要： The colloidal stability of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotags (Raman reporter-conjugated plasmonic nanoparticles) significantly affects the accuracy and reproducibility of SERS measurements, particularly in biological systems. Limited understanding of SERS nanotag stability may partly hamper the translation of SERS nanotags from the laboratory to their use in the clinic. In this contribution, we utilized differential centrifugal sedimentation (DCS), a reliable and straightforward technique to comprehensively analyze the colloidal stability of SERS nanotags in biological systems. Compared with other particle characterization techniques, DCS has been shown to have a unique advantage for high-resolution and high-throughput polydisperse particle characterization. DCS data revealed that the universal aggregation prevention practice of coating SERS nanotags with silica or bovine serum albumin layers did not sufficiently stabilize them in common measurement environments (e.g., 1× PBS). Combined DCS and SERS measurements established a strong correlation between the degrees of nanotag aggregation and signal intensities, further reinforcing the necessity of characterizing SERS nanotag stability for every condition in which they are used. We also found that increasing the protein thickness by the inclusion of extra protein components in the detection environments and antibody functionalization can improve the stability of SERS nanotags. We believe that this study can provide guidelines on appropriate measurement techniques and particle design considerations to assess and improve SERS nanotag stability in complex biological systems.

摘要： Undergraduate students are provided increasingly the opportunity to explore Raman spectroscopy as a part of their physical and analytical chemistry courses. Here, we describe a new approach for engaging undergraduate students with Raman spectroscopy in the research lab setting. In particular, Wustholz at William & Mary and Svoboda at Colonial Williamsburg engage in productive collaboration wherein develop surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based methods to identify fugitive pigments in art. In this chapter, we present several case studies that highlight the pedagogical journeys of student researchers working at the intersection of chemistry and art. We describe how this collaborative SERS research has led to discovery, innovation, and the professional development of undergraduates.
