An ultrasensitive strategy for in-situ visual monitoring of ATP in a single living tumor cell during mitochondria-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) process with high spatiotemporal resolution was proposed using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) 3D imaging technique. The nanostructures consisting of Au-Ag 2 S Janus nanoparticles functionalized with both Au nanoparticles linked by a DNA chain and a mitochondrial-targeting peptide (JMDA NPs) were deliberately employed to target mitochondria. The JMDA NPs exhibit excellent SERS activity and remarkable antitumor activity. The quantization of ATP relies on the intensity of the SERS probes bonded to the DNA, which shows a strong correlation with the generated hot spot between the Janus and the Au. Consequently, spatiotemporally controlled monitoring of ATP in the mitochondria of single living cells during the PDT process was achieved. Additionally, the JMDA NPs demonstrated remarkable capability for mitochondria-targeted PDT, providing significant antitumor effects and superior therapeutic safety both in vitro and in vivo . Our work presents an effective JMDA NPs-based SERS imaging strategy for in-situ and real-time 3D visualization of intracellular ATP in living tumor cells during the mitochondria-targeted PDT process, which enables significant information on the time point of PDT treatment and is beneficial to precious PDT applications in tumor therapy.

Excessive pesticide residues have posed a severe risk to human health and ecological environment, making stringent testing of them a crucial step in food safety supervision. Herein, a flexible paper-based SERS platform composited of AgNPs and MoS 2 nanoflowers was developed for the rapid and ultra-sensitive detection of thiram in juice. Among it, the hydrophobic MoS 2 -modified paper was first fabricated, followed by co-depositing small-sized AgNPs and thiram molecules onto its surface for SERS analysis. Owing to the unique petal-like structure and high hydrophobicity of MoS 2 -coated paper, the AgNPs loaded on it was significantly aggregated, thereby generating numerous “hot spots” in the nanogaps between adjacent silver nanoparticles. Simultaneously, thiram molecules were enriched and concentrated within these gaps, resulting in exceptional Raman signal amplification. Compared to single-material substrates, an integrated advantage was acquired with hybridizing of AgNPs and MoS 2 . The performance of this platform was verified by detecting thiram in pear juice using a portable Raman spectrometer, in which the limit of detection (LOD) can be as low as 1.01 ng/mL and its recovery percentages had a good consistency with ones of HPLC-MS/MS. Overall, this Ag/MoS 2 hybrid SERS platform exhibits outstanding stability, sensitivity and feasibility in the label-free detection of pesticides in food. It also provided a universal tool for the on-site monitoring of diverse biochemical molecules across various fields.

A high-performance aldehyde sensor is of great significance for the detection of construction machinery exhaust gas and the analysis of environmental gas. Herein, we developed a novel aerogel SERS substrate of 4-Aminothiophenol (4-ATP) decorated three-dimensional (3D) porous structure using graphene oxide (GO), Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) and MXene as precursors. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of metal conductivity of MXene, the oxygen-enriched surface of GO and the high-density of “hot spots” (Au NPs), the 3D MXene/Au/GO/4-ATP aerogel structure exhibits enhanced capture efficiency of gaseous aldehyde and plasma enhancement for in-situ aldehyde gas detection. More importantly, a hot-blowing assisted SERS detection device was designed for gaseous aldehydes sensing. The SERS detection device responses to gaseous aldehyde molecules in simulated exhaust gas, offering fast detection time, high sensitivity, excellent reproducibility, and distinct selectivity. This work provides a potential strategy for monitoring harmful emissions, and promotes the design of a multi-functional SERS platform for complex gas sensing.

Phthalate esters (PAEs), prevalent plasticizers used extensively in packaging materials, pose significant environmental and health risks. Addressing the challenge of their trace detection, we introduce a dual-functional superhydrophobic sponge (Ag NPs@rGO/PU) that seamlessly integrates sample enrichment and ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis. This platform (Ag NPs@rGO/PU) combines superhydrophobicity, strong adsorption capacity, and high SERS sensitivity for rapid quantification of trace PAEs in plastic bottled water. The composite was fabricated by photochemical reduction of Ag NPs@GO anchored on polyurethane (PU) foam, enabling efficient reduction of GO and formation of densely distributed plasmonic hotspots. The resulting material exhibited excellent superhydrophobicity (>150°), rapid adsorption kinetics (<80 s), and robust cyclic adsorption capability (>100 cycles). Furthermore, combining SERS with principal component analysis (PCA) enables accurate classification and quantitative analysis of six structurally similar PAEs even in complex mixtures with ultralow detection limits down to 1 × 10–10 M and linear response (R2 ≥ 0.98). Practical applicability was demonstrated by successfully identifying and quantifying trace PAEs in commercial bottled water, uncovering significant migration under high-temperature storage conditions. This platform not only advances the analytical performance for trace contaminant detection but also offers a versatile tool with substantial implications for environmental safety monitoring and protection of public health.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) provides an alternative rapid detection method for pesticide residues in food, but fenvalerate possesses poor affinity to the novel metal substrate, thus restricting its analysis. To break this bottleneck, a SERS-active platform with an Ag/rGO composite structure was engineered using a facile method for fenvalerate detection. Ag nanoparticles with a 60 nm diameter can grow evenly on the top and bottom of rGO layers under intense ultrasonic oscillation, and rGO in hybrid material acts as an ideal hotspot holder between the gaps of Ag nanoparticles, not only allowing the interaction area to be enhanced both electromagnetically and chemically but also enabling the capture and enrichment of fenvalerate pesticide molecules into the “hotspot” area to improve detection sensitivity. Ag/rGO composite substrate possesses superior SERS performance with an ultralow detectable concentration of 4-aminothiophenol (10−10M) and good reproducibility, endowing the material with a better enhancement effect than pure Ag nanoparticles. When used as the SERS substrate for fenvalerate detection, Ag/rGO composite material showed excellent performance in both experiments and theoretical calculation, with the limit of detection (LOD) of fenvalerate being as low as 1.69 × 10−5mg/kg and a detection model with an R2of 99.2%, demonstrating its exciting potential as a SERS substrate for pesticides detection.

In this study, we develop a filter paper-supported Ag nanowire (AgNWs) substrate coated with a tunable layer of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) metal-organic framework (MOF) for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. The thickness of the ZIF-67 layer is precisely controlled by adjusting the soaking time, allowing us to investigate the influence of MOF thickness on SERS performance using probes with different sizes. Sensitivity for large, impenetrable molecules such as thiram and rhodamine 6G (R6G) are primarily governed by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), while smaller, penetrable molecules like 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) exhibit enhanced sensitivity driven by charge transfer (CT) effects due to their ability to penetrate the MOF layer. A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation reveals that the porous structure of ZIF-67 facilitates electric field propagation to the probe, maintaining significant LSPR effects even beyond 200 nm from the AgNWs. Practical applicability is demonstrated using a wiping mode to detect thiram spiked on apple surfaces, with reliable linear detection achieved across a wide range of concentrations. This study underscores the potential of MOF-based hybrid SERS substrates for real-world applications, leveraging the complementary roles of CT and electromagnetic (EM) mechanisms to enhance sensitivity.

A polyethyleneimine (PEI)-assisted simple and efficient one-pot hydrothermal reduction method is reported to prepare high-quality gold nanodendrites (AuNDs) on a carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet. We observed that the prepared AuNDs have a well-defined backbone-multiple branching structure. With the systematical investigation of the growth mechanism, it was found that the bromide (Br − ) ion concentration has an essential effect on the formation of AuNDs. By evaluating the growth conditions of AuNDs, it was demonstrated that PEI attached on the surface of CNT sheet plays multiple crucial roles as a reducing agent, stabilizer, and structure director in the formation of AuNDs. The prepared CNT-AuNDs hybrid was employed as a flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to detect the analyte Congo red (CR). Due to the unique structure of AuNDs, such as 3-D branches, rough surface, and sharp edges, the analyte can be detected efficiently down to a concentration as low as 1 × 10 −8 M with an enhancement factor as high as 5.6 × 10 7 .

The Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an attractive optical detecting method with high sensitivity and detectivity, however challenges on large-area signal uniformity and complex spectra analysis methods always retards its wide application. Herein, a highly sensitive and uniform SERS detection strategy supported by porous carbon film/WO 3-x nanosheets (PorC/WO 3-x ) based noble-metal-free SERS substrate and deep learning algorithm are reported. Experimentally, the PorC/WO 3-x substrate was prepared by high-temperature annealing the PorC/WO 3 films under the argon atmosphere. The defect density of the WO 3 was controlled by tuning the reducing reaction time during the annealing process. The SERS performance was evaluated by using R6G as the Raman reporter, it showed that the SERS intensity obtained on the substrate with the optimal annealing time of 3 h was about 8 times as high as that obtained on the PorC/WO 3 substrate without annealing treatment. And detection limit of 10 -7 M and Raman enhancement factor of 10 6 could be achieved. Moreover, the above optimal SERS substrate was utilized to detect flavonoids of quercetin, 3-hydroxyflavone and flavone, and a deep learning algorithms was incorporated to identify the quercetin. It revealed that quercetin can be accurately detected within the above flavonoids, and lowest detectable concentration of 10 -5 M can be achieved.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been demonstrated as an ultrasensitive tool for various molecules. However, for the negatively charged molecules, the widely used SERS substrate [negatively charged Ag and Au nanoparticles (Ag or Au NPs (−)] showed either low sensitivity or poor stability. The best solution is to synthesize positively charged silver or gold nanoparticles [Ag or Au NPs (+)] with high stability and excellent SERS performance, which are currently unavailable. To this end, we revitalized the strategy of “charge reversal and seed growth”. By selection of ascorbic acid as the reductant and surfactant, the surface charge of Ag or Au NP (−) seeds is adjusted to a balanced state, where the surface charge is negative enough to satisfy the stabilization of the NPs (−) but does not hinder the subsequent charge reversal. By optimization of the chain length and electric charge of polyamine molecules, the highly stable and size-controllable uniform Ag NPs (+) and Au NPs (+) were seed-growth synthesized with high reproducibility. More importantly, the SERS performance of both Ag NPs (+) and Au NPs (+) achieved the trace detection of negatively charged molecules at the level of 1 μg/L, demonstrating an improved SERS sensitivity of up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to the previously reported sensitivity. Promisingly, the introduction of polyamine-capped Ag NPs (+) and Au NPs (+) as SERS substrates with high stability (1 year shelf life) will significantly broaden the application of SERS.

Rapid and quantitative detection of malachite green (MG) in aquaculture products is very important for safety assurance in food supply. Here, we develop a point-of-care testing (POCT) platform that combines a flexible and transparent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with deep learning network for achieving rapid and quantitative detection of MG in fish. The flexible and transparent SERS substrate was prepared by depositing silver (Ag) film on the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film using laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE) technique. The wrinkled Ag NPs@PDMS film exhibits high SERS activity, excellent reproducibility and good mechanical stability. Additionally, the fast in situ detection of MG residues on fish scales was achieved by using the wrinkled Ag NPs/PDMS film and a portable Raman spectrometer, with a minimum detectable concentration of 10 -6 M. Subsequently, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) model was constructed for rapid quantification of MG concentration. The results demonstrated that the 1D CNN quantitative analysis model possessed superior predictive performance, with a coefficient of determination (R 2 ) of 0.9947 and a mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0104. The proposed POCT platform, integrating a transparent flexible SERS substrate, a portable Raman spectrometer and a 1D CNN model, provides an efficient strategy for rapid identification and quantitative analysis of MG in fish.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) and porcine rotavirus (PoRV) are the two main pathogens causing porcine diarrhea, which are characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Most of the diagnostic methods available are limited to the laboratory or fail to highlight their advantages in terms of target species, detection time, sensitivity, and stability. To meet the demand for rapid on-site diagnosis of PEDV and PoRV co-infection, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunochromatographic sensor based on gold magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was developed. The sensor is dual-mode, detecting on the basis of color signals by the naked eye and Raman signals. After a series of optimizations, the constructed sensor could perform simultaneous qualitative and quantitative detection of PEDV and PoRV in just 18 min, with visualized (color signals observed by the naked eye) limits of detection (LOD) of 3.13 × 10 2 TCID 50 /mL and 4.69 × 10 2 copies/μL, respectively. The LOD based on Raman signal analysis was as low as 4.63 × 10 1 TCID 50 /mL and 3.30 × 10 2 copies/μL for PEDV and PoRV, respectively. In addition, the sensor exhibited excellent specificity without cross-reactivity with common pathogens. The overall compliance rate with RT-PCR was 92.1 % (35/38) for 38 clinical samples. Therefore, the sensor is characterized by high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and accuracy, making it suitable for the simultaneous rapid on-site detection of PEDV and PoRV.

Tuberculosis is a highly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis , and the spread of this agent has caused serious health problems worldwide. The rapid and accurate detection of M. tuberculosis is essential for controlling the spread of infection and for preventing the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. In this study, the powerful trans-cleavage ability of CRISPR-Cas12a for ssDNA was combined with a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)–based strategy to establish a CRISPR-SERS sensor for the hypersensitive detection of M. tuberculosis DNA. We observed a linear relationship between the concentration of M. tuberculosis DNA and the output signal over the range of 5 to 100 pM. The equation describing the standard curve was y = 24.10 x + 1594, with R 2 = 0.9914. The limit of detection was as low as 4.42 pM for genomic DNA, and a plasmid containing an M. tuberculosis –specific sequence was detected at 5 copy/μL. A detection accuracy of 100% was achieved in the analysis of DNA isolated from the sputum of hospitalized patients with tuberculosis. The entire detection process is simple to deploy and only takes 50 min and results in the sensitive and specific detection of M. tuberculosis DNA. This study provides a new method for the detection of tuberculosis. The tool is stable and can be utilized on-site, and it thus broadens the diagnostic application of CRISPR-Cas12a-based sensor technology.
