In this paper, a temperature-controlled “On-Off” electrochemical sensor for the detection of hydroquinone (HQ) is constructed by using a composite film of temperature-sensitive polymer poly (N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL), the nanomaterial rGO@Au and the monoclinic bismuth metavanadate (m-BiVO 4 ). The sensor exhibits good temperature sensitivity and reversibility. When the temperature drops below the Lowest Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) of the PNVCL, the PNVCL will be in a “stretched” state, which hinders the electron exchange between hydroquinone and the surface of the electrode, presenting an “Off” state for the sensor. On the contrary, when the temperature exceeds the LCST, the PNVCL will be in a “contracted” state, which hydroquinone can perform an effective redox process and generate a response current, showing an “On” status. Due to the good electroconductivity and electrocatalytic ability of rGO@Au and m-BiVO 4 , the proposed sensor showed excellent detection performances. Hence, the sensor shows wide linear ranges (2.0 to 30.0 μM and 30.0 to 152.0 μM) and low limit of detection (0.6 μM). In addition, the “On-Off” electrochemical sensor may provide new ideas for the application of intelligent polymers.

A colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent dual-mode assay is constructed for sensitive and specific Hg 2+ sensing based on UiO-66-NH 2 and Au composite (UiO-66-NH 2 @Au). The addition of Hg 2+ stimulates the peroxidase-like activity of UiO-66-NH 2 @Au by the formation of Au-Hg amalgam, promoting the oxidizing of chromogenic substrate OPD to DAP with the aid of H 2 O 2 , which lead to the change of colorimetric and fluorescent signals. The absorbance of the sensing system at 450 nm is linear positive correlation with Hg 2+ concentration of 30–1400 nM and the color of the solution under visible light shaded from light yellow to dark yellow. With the increase of Hg 2+ concentration, the fluorescence signal at 570 nm (DAP) increased whereas that at 455 nm (intrinsic fluorescence of UiO-66-NH 2 ) decreased due to inner filter effect (IFE), the fluorescence intensity ratio (F 455 /F 570 ) decreasing linearly with Log [Hg 2+ ] over the range 60–1700 nM; the fluorescence emission of sensing system under UV excitation changed from blue to yellow, which can easily be discerned visually. This assay was successfully applied to the determination of Hg 2+ in tap water and river water. The results indicate that the colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent dual-mode assay based on UiO-66-NH 2 @Au realized visual determination of Hg 2+ rapidly and reliably, revealed application prospect in Hg 2+ monitoring.

A new type of immunosensor was prepared by using a gold nanoparticles/aminozeolitic imidazolate framework-67 nanocomposite (AuNPs/ZIF-67) as the sensing matrix and luminol as the signaling probe to detect the heart failure biomarker N -terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The hybrid nanocomposite was deposited on the surface of indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass via the linkage of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS); thereafter, the NT-proBNP antibody was immobilized to endow biological specificity, and bovine serum albumin was used to block residual active sites. The resultant sensor has an excellent response when NT-proBNP was attached to the antibody via immunoreaction; here, the output signal was reduced because of the depressed mass transportation of the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) probe and electron transference. The resultant ECL immunosensor displayed a broad linear range from 10 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL, and the low detection limit was 0.74 pg/mL. The ECL immunosensor also has good specificity, stability and reproducibility and can be used to detect NT-proBNP in real blood samples.

Creatinine level in body fluid has been most used for early diagnosis of kidney function and renal diseases; therefore, it is desirable to develop a rapid and quantitative method for creatinine detection. Herein, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on evaporation-induced optimal hotspots of Au nanocubes has been employed to quantitatively detect creatinine in human serum. Time-dependent SERS measurements during the evaporating process clearly prove that the optimal hotspots are formed on the eve of droplet drying of a Au sol and analyte mixture. The reproducibility tested by independent droplet experiments shows a relative standard deviation of SERS intensity of about 4.16%. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis of creatinine shows a clear linear fitting between the logarithmic SERS intensity and the creatinine concentrations with a correlation coefficient of 0.987. The creatinine level in the serum from volunteers estimated by this method shows an average difference of less than 5% compared to that by the clinical Jaffe reaction method. The evaporation-induced optimal hotspot method with good reproducibility offers a simple and feasible way for practical SERS detection.

Highly dispersed Au nanoparticles supported on Ni–Al mixed metal oxides (Au/NiAl-MMO) were prepared by a facile method, which is significantly efficient for the aerobic oxidation of ethyl lactate using authentic air as the oxidant, achieving 72.6% ethyl lactate conversion and 88.3% selectivity to ethyl pyruvate at 240 °C in a continuous fixed-bed reactor. The catalyst retained its catalytic performance during a long-term stability test. Characterization and experimental studies on the kinetic dependence sequence of the reactants and elementary reaction steps confirmed that the Au/NiAl-MMO catalyst followed the Mars–van Krevelen mechanism, with the activation of O 2 as the elementary step. The quasi in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra demonstrated that the active sites in the Au/NiAl-MMO catalyst were Au nanoparticles. This work may provide a novel technique for developing more efficient supported metal catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of ethyl lactate using authentic air as the oxidant. Graphical abstract Highly dispersed Au nanoparticle catalyst was facilely prepared for the efficient catalytic oxidation of ethyl lactate with authentic air.

Generally, a high quality surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate often requires a highly-tailorable electromagnetic (EM) field generated at nanoparticle (NP) surfaces by the regulation of the morphologies, components and roughness of NPs. However, most recent universal approaches are restricted to single components, and integrating these key factors into one system to achieve the theoretically maximum signal amplification is still challenging. Herein, we design a triple SERS signal amplification platform by the coordination of spiky Au NPs with rich-tip nanostructures, controllable silver nanoshell, as well as tailorable surface roughness into one nano-system. As a result, the theoretical electromagnetic field of the interfacial self-assembled 2D substrate can be improved by nearly 5 orders of magnitude, and the ideal tracing capability for the model SERS molecule can be achieved at levels of 5 × 10−11 M. Finally, diverse analytes in pesticide residues, environmental pollutants as well as medically diagnose down to 10−11 M and can be fingerprinted by the proposed SERS nano-platform. Our integrated triple amplification platform not only provides an effective SERS sensing strategy, but also makes it possible to simultaneously achieve high sensitivity, stability as well as universality into one plasmonic-based SERS sensing system.

Here, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor based on functionalized Au@Ag core–shell nanorods (Au@Ag NRs) and cascade DNAzyme amplifier (CSA) for sensitive and accurate determination of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21). The as-prepared SERS nanoprobes were composed of a thiol-modification hairpin probe (HP2)–functionalized Au@Ag NRs and hairpin DNAzyme (HP1-Dz). Compared with original gold nanorods, the silver shell caused an enhancement of plasmonic properties, resulting in a significant enhancement of Raman signals. In the presence of target miRNAs, the hairpin construction of HP1-Dz changed due to DNA/RNA hybridization; subsequently, the DNAzyme-catalyzed cleaving process changed, and the Raman signals of the SERS nanoprobes gradually “turned off” with time elapse because of the dissociation of the Raman reporter from the surface of Au@Ag NRs. Hence, based on this principle, the proposed SERS sensor exhibited good linearity in the range 0.5 fM to 10 nM for miRNA-21 detection with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.5 fM. The proposed SERS platform has potential application in quantitative and precise detection of miRNA-21 in human serum. Graphical abstract

An electrochemical sensor for sensitive sensing of acyclovir (ACV) was designed by using the reduced graphene oxide–TiO2–Au nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode (rGO–TiO2–Au/GCE). Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to confirm morphology, structure, and composition properties of the rGO–TiO2–Au nanocomposites. Cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry were used to demonstrate the analytical performance of the rGO–TiO2–Au/GCE for ACV. As a result, rGO–TiO2–Au/GCE exerted the best response for the oxidation of ACV under the pH of 6.0 PB solution, accumulation time of 80 s at open-circuit, and modifier amount of 7 µl. The oxidation peak currents of ACV increased linearly with its concentration in the range of 1–100 µM, and the detection limit was calculated to be 0.3 µM (S/N = 3). The determination of ACV concentrations in tablet samples also demonstrated satisfactory results.

The development of flexible room-temperature gas sensors is important in environmental monitoring and protection. In this contribution, by using 1-octadecanethiol (ODT) as a surface ligand, Au nanodots (NDs) with ultra-small size of ∼1.7 nm were deposited on the surface of α-Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The Au ND–ODT/α-Fe2O3/rGO composite was fabricated into flexible gas sensors, which could detect NO2 gas down to 200 ppb at room temperature. Compared with α-Fe2O3/rGO, Au ND–ODT/α-Fe2O3/rGO showed enhanced sensing performance because of the beneficial effects of Au NDs, including facilitating the adsorption of NO2 molecules and forming ohmic-like contact with rGO and α-Fe2O3. In addition, the sensing performance of the composite was also influenced by the surface ligands of the Au NDs. Ligands with less polar terminal groups were found to be beneficial to charge transfer in the sensing film. Moreover, Au ND–ODT/α-Fe2O3/rGO-based flexible sensors showed negligible performance deterioration under moderately bent conditions, suggesting their potential to be used in portable and wearable devices.

The production of methyl lactate as a degradable polymer monomer from biomass was an important topic for a sustainable society. In this manuscript, glycerol was oxidated to methyl lactate catalyzed by the combination of Au-CuO and Sn-Beta. The influence of Sn content, Sn source, and the preparation conditions for Sn-β was studied. The Au content in Au/CuO was also investigated by varying the Au content in Au/CuO. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption, and TEM to study the role of Sn and the influence of different parameters for catalyst preparation. After the optimization of reaction parameters, the yield of methyl lactate from glycerol reached 59% at 363 K after reacting in 1.6 MPa of O2for 6 h.Keywords:glycerol;oxidation;methyl lactate;Sn-Beta;Au/CuO

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor, using graphite carbonitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) capped CdS quantum dots (CdS QDs@g-C 3 N 4 ) and Au nanoparticles decorated triethanolamine (AuNPs@TEOA) as dual coreactants, was proposed for the determination of mucin 1 (MUC1). Higher ECL efficiency was acquired due to the double enhancement contribution of CdS QDs and TEOA to Ru (bpy) 3 2+ ECL. Additionally, AuNPs@TEOA also acted as nanocarrier for MUC1 aptamer immobilization. After the aptasensor was incubated in target MUC1, the decreased ECL emission was obtained because of the poor conductivity of MUC1. The ECL aptasensor displayed a good linear correlation for MUC1 in the range 0.1 pg mL −1 -1000 ng mL −1 , and the detection limit was 33 fg mL −1 . MUC1 spiked into human serum samples was quantified to assess the practicability of the ECL aptasensor. Graphical abstract
