Developing an environmental-friendly and highly active catalyst in transesterification for biodiesel production is of great importance for a more economic biodisel process. Herein, we reported that waste eggshells were used to adsorb Au(III) in water and convert the Au(III)-polluted eggshells into the functional nanocatalyst-CaO/Au for the transesterification reaction between soybean oil and methanol to the preparation of biodiesel. By coupling of CaO and Au nanoparticles, CaO/Au nanoparticles showed superior catalytic activity for the transesterification reaction between soybean oil and methanol. An optimum performance was observed over CaO/Au nanocomposites in a methanol-oil molar ratio at 12 : 1 with catalyst content of 1.0 wt% at 70 °C for 3 h. Besides, the catalytic activity of CaO/Au nanocatalyst was almost unchanged after recycling for 5 times and the yield of biodiesel still kept at 88.9%. The proof-of concept study provided us a sustainable method for utilization of waste eggshells to remedy the metal ions-polluted wastewater and the synthesis of functional nanocomposite for biodiesel production, show great potential application of waste eggshell in adsorption and catalytic reactions.

We describe an Au-MgF 2 -Au trilayered waveguide-coupled surface plasmon resonance (WCSPR) sensor in this article. The characteristics of this sensing structure are compared with those of the conventional single-layered gold surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor theoretically and experimentally. The experiment results show that WCSPR can provide not only seven times smaller refractive index resolution in the bulk sensing application but also more accurate measurement results for the biomolecular interaction analysis than the conventional single-layered gold SPR. What’s more, this high-resolution sensor is easy to build and not sensitive to film thickness variations. The Au-MgF 2 -Au trilayered WCSPR may provide a simple and convenient chip-based strategy for performance enhancement of SPR sensors without varying the hardware and software of measurement instruments.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique with high sensitivity and specificity, exhibits huge application potential in tumor cells imaging. In this work, Au@Ag-Au core@double shell bimetallic nanoparticles (Au@Ag-Au NPs) with excellent biocompatibility and good SERS activity were successfully designed and prepared, and Au@Ag-Au NPs showed uniform size and shape. The results of UV-vis spectra revealed that surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak of Au@Ag-Au NPs generated bathochromic shift compared to that of Au@Ag NPs, inducing high SERS activity under 532 nm illumination. The limit of detection (LOD) for 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4MBA) molecules adsorbed on Au@Ag-Au NPs was 5 × 10 −9 M, indicating this alloy nanostructure with good SERS detection sensitivity. Moreover, Au@Ag-Au NPs SERS substrate exhibited almost none toxicity from the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay results. Au@Ag-Au@4MBA SERS bioprobe was grafted with reductive bovine serum albumin-folic acid (rBSA-FA), which improving SERS bioprobe stability, and providing specific recognition ability for tumor cells. Importantly, SERS imaging results of HepG2 cancer cells targeted with Au@Ag-Au@4MBA@rBSA-FA bioprobes demonstrated Au@Ag-Au NPs-based SERS bioprobe could effectively recognize tumor cells. This work indicated that high-resolution SERS imaging mode would play an important role in tumor imaging for cancer diagnosis.

This study successfully developed a colorimetric/SERS dual-mode sensor for determining acrylamide in baked goods based on the excellent peroxidase-like activity and Raman activity of Fe-PHS@Au–Ag-Au Janus NPs. In colorimetric mode, the thiol-ene Michael addition between acrylamide (AA) and glutathione (GSH) efficiently eliminates GSH-induced peroxidase-like activity inhibition. The peroxidase-like activity of Fe-PHS@Au–Ag-Au Janus NPs gradually recovered, and the blue color of the solution gradually deepened with the increase in AA dosage. In surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), Apt-Fe-PHS@Au–Ag-Au Janus NPs can selectively capture AA and bind specifically, leading to the dissociation of Apt and Fe-PHS@Au–Ag-Au Janus NPs. The Raman activity of Apt-Fe-PHS@Au–Ag-Au Janus NPs decreases due to the dissociation of Apt. The dual-mode sensor was utilized for the determination of acrylamide in the concentrations range from 0.05 to 20 µg·L −1 with detection limits of 0.06 µg·L −1 (SERS) and 0.01 µg·L −1 (colorimetric). The recovery in baked samples was between 91.0 and 108.0%. Graphical

Practical gas sensing application requires sensors to quantify target analytes with high sensitivity and reproducibility. However, conventional surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor lacks reproducibility and quantification arising from variations of "hot spot" distribution and measurement conditions. Here, a ratio-dependent SERS sensor was developed for quantitative label-free gas sensing. Au@Ag-Au nanoparticles (NPs) were filtered onto anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) forming Au@Ag-Au@AAO SERS substrate. 4-MBA was encapsulated in the gap of Au@Ag-Au and served as the internal standard (IS) to calibrate SERS signal fluctuation for improved quantification ability. Combined with headspace sampling method, SO 2 residue in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be extracted and captured on the immediate vicinity of Au@Ag-Au surface. The intensity ratio I 613 cm −1 /I 1078 cm −1 showed excellent linearity within the range of 0.5 mg/kg-500 mg/kg, demonstrating superior quantification performance for SO 2 detection. Signals for concentration as low as 0.05 mg/kg of SO 2 could be effectively collected, much lower than the strictest limit 10 mg/kg in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Combined with a handheld Raman spectrometer, handy and quantitative TCM quality evaluation in aspect of SO 2 residue was realized. This ratiometric SERS sensor functioned well in rapid on-site SO 2 quantification, exhibiting excellent sensitivity and simple operability.

Determination of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) in human serum plays an important role in diagnosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. In this work, Au/Ag/Au core/double shell nanoparticles (Au/Ag/Au NPs) were prepared by a simple approach and were used as novel enzyme-mimetic labels for development of a sandwich-type electrochemical immunosensor for SCCA. The nanostructure of Au/Ag/Au NPs could be well confirmed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and UV–vis spectra. Au NPs decorated mercapto-functionalized graphene sheets (Au@SH-GS) were used as platform for immobilization of primary antibody (Ab 1 ), while Au/Ag/Au NPs were employed as labels of secondary antibody (Ab 2 ). Due to the excellent electrocatalytic activity of Au/Ag/Au NPs towards the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), electrochemical amperometric responses to SCCA were achieved after the immuno-reaction. Under optimum conditions, the electrochemical immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 0.5 pg/mL to 40 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 0.18 pg/mL for SCCA. The designed immunosensor displayed an excellent analytical performance with good reproducibility, high selectivity and stability.

Abstract The bi-functional Au/FeS (Au/Co 3 O 4 ) composite was fabricated by in situ reducing Au nanoparticles onto the surface of FeS (Co 3 O 4 ). The as-prepared FeS possessed a multi-structure composed of plenty of nanoplates, which were coated by Au nanoparticles with an average size of ~47.5 nm. While the Co 3 O 4 showed a thin hexagonal sheet containing Au nanoparticles on its surface with an average size of ~79.0 nm. Both the as-prepared Au/FeS and Au/Co 3 O 4 composites exhibited excellent SERS performance, capable of enhancing the Raman signals of R6G molecules with the enhancement factor up to 1.81 × 10 6 and 7.60 × 10 4 , respectively. Moreover, Au/FeS (Au/Co 3 O 4 ) composite also has been verified to have intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, which could decompose H 2 O 2 into hydroxyl radicals and then degrade organic pollutants into small molecules. Therefore, SERS can be used to real-time and in situ monitoring the degradation process of R6G molecules, employing the Au/FeS (Au/Co 3 O 4 ) composite both as SERS substrate and catalyst. Graphical abstract SERS was used to real-time and in situ monitoring the degradation of R6G, employing the Au/FeS and Au/Co 3 O 4 composites both as SERS substrates and catalysts.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) as the most toxic mycotoxin in contaminated food can greatly threaten human health, and sensitive and selective detection of AFB1 is thus highly desired. An ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) aptasensor was developed for AFB1 detection in peanut oil samples. SH-cDNA modified Fe 3 O 4 @Au nanoflowers acted as capture probes, SH-Apt modified [email protected] nanospheres and commercial Cy3-Apt were used as reporter probes. Strong SERS signals of reporter probes were produced due to the recognition of AFB1 aptamer and its complementary strand (SH-cDNA). With the preferred binding of AFB1 aptamer to AFB1, reporter probes were released from capture probes, causing a linear decrease in SERS intensity. Therefore an ultralow detection limit of 0.40 pg·mL −1 in a wide linear range of 0.0001–100 ng·mL −1 was obtained and the sensibility of this SERS aptasensor was higher than that of the Cy3-Apt based SERS aptasensor. In addition, an excellent selectivity in interfering toxins and satisfactory recoveries of 96.6–115% in peanut oil samples were obtained, proving this aptasensor is a promising analytical tool in AFB1 detection.

Increasing the carrier concentration as well as carrier life time could be effective ways to increase the photoresponse of a photoconductive type photodetector . In this paper, layer-structure photodetectors have been fabricated by connecting CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 film with and without electron transport layer (SnO 2 and SnO 2 /PCBM bilayer). We found that the electron extraction at the electron transport layer and MAPbI 3 interface will boost the photocurrent and responsivity, and faster electron extraction will result in a higher photocurrent improvement. At the same time, the closer is the distance of the interface to the photogenerated electron-hole pairs, the larger is the photocurrent enhancement. The largest photocurrent increasement is almost 3 times the initial value, which increases from 1.54 μA to 6.10 μA.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising approach to solve the current energy and environmental crises. Herein, we developed a “one stone, two birds” strategy to construct Au@Pt decorated ZnO/CdS heterojunctions (ZCAP) with Au-S bond and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect for promoted PEC water splitting. The optimized ZCAP structure exhibited the highest photocurrent density of 4.23 mA/cm 2 at 1.23 V vs. RHE and hydrogen evolution rate of 72.3 μmol·cm −2 ·h −1 , which is magnitude higher than pure ZnO. In-depth investigations indicate that SPR effect can afford hot electrons, whereas Au-S bonds over interface act as transmission bridge for facilitated electron transfer, the synergy of them achieves efficient charge separation and light utilization. Meanwhile, surface Pt nanoparticles serve as active sites for rapid charge transfer and promoted surface reaction. This article illustrates that the synergy of SPR and electron transfer bridge is an efficient strategy for promoted PEC performance.

In this paper, Zn 2 SnO 4 -SnO 2 -ZnO (ZSO) cubic nanomaterials are prepared by a hydrothermal method, and then ZSO composites with Au nanoparticles are prepared by a water bath heating method. The Au/ZSO nanomaterials are characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM and TEM. The results of XRD and XPS shows that the prepared samples have no other impurities, and also prove the existence of Au. The cubic structure of the sample was observed by SEM. The lattice spacings of Zn 2 SnO 4 , ZnO, SnO 2 and Au were calculated from TEM images. The gas sensing properties of pure ZSO and Au/ZSO nanocomposites are compared. At the optimum working temperature of 240 °C, the response of 3%Au/ZSO nanocomposite to 100 ppm triethylamine (TEA) is as high as 1595.5. Lower detection limit is as low as 3 ppm with a response value of 35.3. Importantly, this paper proposes an efficient method for preparing Au nanoparticles supported on ZSO and a gas sensor with high sensitivity response to TEA.

Core-shell nanostructures have attracted the interest of many researchers due to their unique structural features and suitable band structure match. However, the fabricated core-shell nanostructures generally have only one core, which makes it challenging to explore the collective effect of multiple cores. Herein, two kinds of multicore-shell Au@ZIF-8 and Au@ZnO were synthesized, focusing on the effect of Au concentration on the optical and photocatalytic properties of the latter. By controlling the concentration of Au precursor, different quantities of Au NPs can be encapsulated in one ZIF-8 nanocrystal. Consequently, the hybridization effect and its localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Au NPs could also be accordingly regulated, with Au-0.4@ZnO showing the best photocatalytic activity. This work offers a new inspiration on regulating the plasmonic properties of the multicore-shell nanostructure, which holds an appealing prospect in plasmonic photocatalysis, surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection, and intermediates identification in catalytic reactions.
