The detection of nitrite is vital for environmental conservation and public health. In this study, high surface area nanoclusters of wavy graphene/Au composites (w-GN/Au) were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method and utilized for the detection of nitrite. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and constituents of 3D-GN/Au. The effectiveness of w-GN/Au composites as the accelerant for the determination of nitrite was assessed via Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). The results showed that the reaction current for nitrite detection obtained at the composite electrode had greatly improved compared to that obtained using the bare electrode. Within the optimal conditions, the oxidation peak currents of nitrite had an excellent linear correlation in the range of 1.0 × 10−7 to 5.0 × 10−3 mol L−1 with a detection limit of 6.0 × 10−8 mol L−1via differential pulse voltammetric (DPV). Based on these findings, we could draw the conclusion that these modified materials could be utilized for constituting an electrochemical sensor to develop an excellent method for the detection nitrite in real samples, namely, tap water and sausage, with acceptable recovery.

In this paper, a novel electrochemical sensor based on Au nanoparticles/8-aminoquinoline functionalized graphene oxide (AuNPs/GAQ) nanocomposite was developed and tested for the first time for detection of paraquat (PQ). The morphology and composition of AuNPs/GAQ nanocomposite were characterized by various techniques, including transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were utilized to investigate the electrochemical performances of AuNPs/GAQ nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode. The obtained modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards detection of PQ. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed sensor showed low detection limit (6 nM, S/N = 3), wide linear range (0.02–24 μM), high selectivity and good stability. In addition, it was successfully applied for detection of PQ in natural water samples with satisfactory results.

Bimetallic Au-Ag/Co 3 O 4 nanofibers (Au-Ag/Co 3 O 4 NFs) were synthesized by an electrospinning method and calcination treatment. Due to the admirable synergic effect of electrocatalytic ability of Au and Ag, and the large surface-to-volume ratio of Co 3 O 4 nanofibers caused by their rough surface, the synthesized Au-Ag/Co 3 O 4 NFs were applied to a sensing platform for hydrogen peroxide oxidation . Using electrochemical techniques, the novel sensing platform based on Au-Ag/Co 3 O 4 NFs shows a wide linear concentration range with high detection sensitivity of 1241.1 μA mM −1 cm −2 . This sensitive sensor was also applied to determine H 2 O 2 from human breast cancer cells, indicating its great potential application in physiology and pathology.

Plasmonic photocatalyst has attracted significant attention due to its valuable theoretical study and promising practical applications in solar cells, functional composites, and sensors. Herein, an interesting RGO–C3N4-supported AuAg core–Au shell (AuAg@Au) nanocomposite has been reported. Due to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AuAg@Au and the accelarated electron transfer and separation of charge carriers induced by the fascinating RGO–C3N4 substrate, the newly-generated AuAg@Au/RGO–C3N4 nanomaterials show a strong photo-electrochemical response under visible-light irradiation. The AuAg@Au/RGO–C3N4 photocatalyst demonstrated an excellent photo-electrochemical performance with a broad concentration linear range of 0.064–780.904 μM and a low detection limit of 0.022 μM, high stability, and good selectivity when applied in the determination of dopamine (DA) under visible-light irradiation.

ABSTRACT Radiotherapy plays a critical role in the clinical treatment of breast cancer. However, the efficacy of traditional X-ray radiotherapy is greatly limited by its low tumor specificity and treatment tolerance mediated by the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we proposed a novel nano-radiotherapy sensitization strategy to design and construct a cancer cell membrane-coated siRNA-decorated Au/MnO 2 nanosensitizer (R&F@Au/MnO 2 -CM) to synergistically enhance radio-immunotherapy for breast cancer. In the integrated nanosensitizer, the cancer cell membrane (CM) derived from 4T1 breast cancer cells is utilized for targeted functionality, while Au/MnO 2 is designed to improve X-ray absorption and alleviate tumor hypoxia. Additionally, PD-L1 siRNA (R) is used to downregulate PD-L1 expression in tumor cells. In an in situ mouse model of 4T1 breast cancer, R&F@Au/MnO 2 -CM demonstrated accurate tumor identification via CM-mediated homologous targeting after intravenous injection, which was monitored in real-time through NIR-II fluorescence imaging of NIR-935 (F). Subsequently, the radiotherapy sensitivity was achieved due to the strong radiation absorption properties and oxygen generation through catalysis of Au/MnO 2 upon X-ray irradiation. Furthermore, the immunosuppressive microenvironment of the tumor is improved by downregulating PD-L1, enhancing synergistic anti-tumor effect. Our findings demonstrate a promising approach for tumor treatment by combining targeted enhanced radiotherapy with immune activation.

Salmonella Typhimurium is the prevalent pathogenic bacterium that causes foodborne-related diseases. Here, we developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor for S . Typhimurium detection. The biosensor was based on Au@Ag core-shell nanorods (Au@Ag NRs) to enhance Raman signal and aptamer-specific identification. 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) and aptamer-modified Au@Ag NRs were used as Raman signal probes. The aptamer adsorbed on the Au@Ag NRs surface when the reaction system was free of bacteria. Once S . Typhimurium was added, the aptamer then specifically identified and captured the cells. The decrease of free aptamers in solution restoring the SERS “hot spot” between the Au@Ag NRs and enhancing the 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) Raman signal. Quantitative analysis of S . Typhimurium was performed using Raman-enhanced spectroscopy. Under optimised conditions, the 4-MBA SERS intensity at 1072 cm −1 was used to determine S . Typhimurium in the range of 10 2 –10 7 CFU mL −1 (y = 1660.84x+2340.7, R 2 = 0.9912). The limit of detection was 64 CFU mL −1 . This method also has high specificity and is not interfered by the other five control bacteria to complete the detection of S . Typhimurium. The developed method is simple, rapid, sensitive and specificity, which can be used to detect actual samples. It can be potentially used for detecting bacteria.

Triethylamine is a typical volatile toxic gas that can cause respiratory system diseases, blood diseases, and eye lesions upon prolonged inhalation. To mitigate this problem, a highly sensitive triethylamine sensor was achieved by loading the precious metal Au onto hexagonal hollow prisms of In 2 O 3 . Prominently, the microstructure of the hollow hexagonal prisms was derived from Material Institute Lavoisier(MIL)-68(In), which provided a larger specific surface area and more active sites. The sensing test results manifested that the sensor based on 0.6% Au/In 2 O 3 owned the best sensing performance among all samples, especially with the response value of 476.3 ( R a / R g ) towards 100 ppm triethylamine at 200°C, which was 37 times higher than that of pristine In 2 O 3 sensor. Additionally, the stability deviation value was less than 5.6% and the selectivity ( Response triethylamine / Response ethanol ) reached up to 28.8. Such distinguished characteristics can be attributed to the delicate hollow hexagonal prisms structure and the decoration of Au, which accelerated gas molecules transport and enhanced oxygen molecule adsorption and dissociation. This work may open up new visas for morphology manipulation of triethylamine sensing materials and intrinsic mechanism of performance enhancement.

Ethylene glycol (EG) is extensively utilized as anti-freezer and deicer, which would bring potential health risk under unintentional exposures especially with hazardous inhalation of EG aerosols or vapors. In this study, ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS)/WO 3 core-shell nanofibrous heterostructure loaded with optimized Au nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared for superiorly sensitive and selective EG gas sensing. The ternary Au/ZIS/WO 3 heterostructures exhibited an excellent response ( Ra/Rg =98.92) to 50 ppm EG, demonstrating an enhancement of 3.5 times compared to the binary ZIS/WO 3 , and a substantial improvement of 59.5 and 24.1 times compared to pure WO 3 and ZIS, respectively. The ternary Au/ZIS/WO 3 heterostructures also possessed an extremely low detection limit of 6 ppb, as well as excellent selectivity , repeatability, and long-term stability. This exceptional gas sensing performance can be attributed to its distinctive ternary Au/ZIS/WO 3 heterostructures with high specific surface areas . This unique structure not only facilitate the activation of abundant active oxygen species, but also promote the spillover effect of Au and enhance effective electronic distribution, thereby providing more EG adsorption sites, which was confirmed by density functional theory calculation. The synergistic effect arising from the metal-semiconductor interface and the core-shell heterostructure presents a novel avenue for advancing high-performance sensor technologies.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy requiring early screening to improve patient outcomes. Current screening methods such as colonoscopy and fecal occult blood tests have several limitations including high cost, poor specificity, invasiveness, and inconvenience. Recent research has identified specific bacterial communities associated with CRC, notably Parvimonas micra (P. micra), which serves as a biomarker for early screening and diagnosis owing to its accumulation in the malignant tissues and feces of CRC patients. Herein, we employed the whole-bacterium systematic evolution of ligands by the exponential enrichment (SELEX) method to isolate high-affinity aptamers against P. micra using 17 selection cycles. These aptamers were subsequently bound to Au@Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and the interaction of P. micra and aptamers inhibited the peroxidase-like activity of Au@Fe3O4 nanoparticles, thereby blocking the 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) chromogenic reaction and resulting in a measurable reduction in absorbance. This colorimetric detection strategy demonstrated a linear response across a range of 100–108 CFU/mL for P. micra with a limit of detection of 11 CFU/mL. Using a colorimetric aptasensor, we assessed the abundance of P. micra in clinical fecal samples and found significantly higher levels in the feces of CRC patients as compared to that of healthy individuals, which was consistent with the quantitative polymerase chain reaction results. This study therefore represents the first successful identification of an aptamer with high affinity and specificity for P. micra, leading to the development of a highly specific and sensitive aptasensor for its detection. The presented approach has a significant potential for CRC screening and diagnosis.

Liquid-phase photocatalytic oxidation of a secondary diazo dye compound, Congo red (CR, C 32 H 22 N 6 Na 2 O 6 S 2 ) and pharmaceutical phthalylsulfathiazole, was carried out in a cylindrical photochemical reactor on gold-loaded titania systems. The deposition of Au nanoparticles was performed by photochemical deposition methods on the surface of pre-sulphated titania. The detailed structural, compositional and optical characterization and physico-chemical properties of the obtained products are analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HRTEM), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and photoluminescence spectra (PL) analysis. Notable enhancements in the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 were achieved by deposition of gold onto titania, which can be attributed to the enhanced surface electron excitation and effective electron-hole separation on gold-deposited TiO 2 nanoparticles. The present study shows that the higher rate of photodegradation observed on Au-TiO 2 at pH 6.5 can be correlated to the ratios of the concentrations of the ionized to the neutral dye molecules and also to the higher concentration of hydroxylated surface, which are able to effectively scavenge photogenerated valence band holes. Accumulation of the holes in the semiconductor particles increases the probability of formation of excited oxygen atom which is a reactive species readily oxidizing the organic dye molecule or environmental pollutant such as pharmaceutical phthalylsulfathiazole. The reaction mechanism of the photocatalytic system was detected by a photoluminescence method using terephthalic acid as a probe molecule.

Au/γ-Fe2O3 and Au/α-Fe2O3 catalysts with identical size of Au nanoparticles, chemical state of Au species, and amount of surface OH– group were prepared. The Au/γ-Fe2O3 catalyst exhibited exceptionally high activity, regardless of the heat treatments. The CO-TPR, sequential pulse reaction, and in situ Raman spectra demonstrate that the much higher activity of Au/γ-Fe2O3 originated from its higher redox property at low temperature. Systematic study shows that this higher-redox-property-based higher activity could be extended to γ-Fe2O3-supported Pt-group metals and to other reactions that follow Mars–Van Krevelen mechanism. This finding may provide a new avenue for catalyst improvement or development by choosing the suitable crystal phase of the oxide support.

Cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O), a promising semiconductor material, has been less employed in the photocatalytic removal of uranium. In this work, silver and gold nanoparticles were introduced on the surface of Cu 2 O. HR-TEM, XRD and XPS were applied in characterized the physic-chemical properties of composite. In comparison to Cu 2 O, Au modified Cu 2 O (Au/Cu 2 O-N) demonstrated a significantly enhanced uranium removal rate, reaching 100% within 120 minutes. This represents a 2-fold increase in the uranium removal rate compared to pure Cu 2 O-N. The reason con be interpreted including the red-shift of the absorption band from 600nm-800nm, the formation of Schottky junction between Au and Cu 2 O, the electron traps constructed by Au itself. Consequently, the rate of photogenerated electron-hole complexation is significantly diminished. Free trapping and EPR prove that reactive radicals are O 2 - . This has led to the development of a novel approach, namely the synergistic strategy of noble metal loading and nitrogen-doped cuprous oxide, which has the potential to facilitate the visible light removal of U(VI) from toxic wastewater.
