In this paper, an ultrasensitive colorimetric biosensor for human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) detection was designed from bottom-up method based on the dual catalysis of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and Au@Pt nanoparticles (NPs) relative to H 2 O 2 -TEM system. HRP and monoclonal mouse anti-hCG antibody (β-submit, mAb 1 ) were co-immobilized onto the Au@Pt NP surface to improve catalytic efficiency and specificity, which formed a dual functionalized Au@Pt-HRP probe with the mean size of 42.8 nm (D 50 ). The colorimetric immunoassay was developed for the hCG detection, and the Au@Pt-HRP probe featured a higher sensitivity in the concentration range of 0.4–12.8 IU L − 1 with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 IU L − 1 compared with the LODs of 0.8 IU L − 1 for BA-ELISA and of 2.0 IU L − 1 for Au@Pt, which indicated that the Au@Pt-HRP probe possessed higher catalytic efficiency with 2.8-fold increase over Au@Pt and 33.8-fold increase over HRP. Also, the Au@Pt-HRP probe exhibited good precision and reproducibility, high specificity and acceptable accuracy with CV being less than 15%. The dual functionalized Au@Pt-HRP probe as a type of signal amplified method was firstly applied in the colorimetric immunoassay for the hCG detection.

This article presented a facile and productive method to prepare a bowl-like pore array composed of hollow Au/Ag alloy nanoparticles (Au/Ag BPHAN array). It was found that Au/Ag BPHAN array showed the great SERS activity in the detection of melamine molecule. The experimental results for 10 −5 M melamine solution indicated the SERS intensity was about five times larger than that of Ag or Au samples when the ratio of Au to Ag was close to 1:1. Especially, the detection limit was 10 -9 M which was one order of magnitude lower than the reported value in references. SERS enhancement mechanism was the surface plasmon resonance in the alloy nanoparticles as presented in the simulation results by FDTD. To test the performance of the BPHAN arrays in real food samples, the melamine intentionally added to the milk powder was detected. The results showed that the SERS peaks assigned to melamine were very clear and the detection limit was already low to 0.1 ppm, 10 times lower than the tolerance level in infant milk products imposed by FDA of U.S. and 1.5 times lower than the strictest standards in the world, proposed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission in 2012. As far as we know, this was the highest sensitivity record of melamine in solid milk powder by SERS detection.

Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide commonly used in agriculture and residential applications. In this paper, we reported a novel label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for detection of fipronil residues in chicken eggs (mostly accumulated on the egg membrane). We fabricated the SERS substrates composed of the SiO 2 @Au core/shell nanoparticles and probed the contamination of fipronil residue on the egg membrane. The identification of the characteristic Raman bands of fipronil was achieved with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculation, with which we could analyzed the trace amount of fipronil in a quantitative way. As such, this work may provide a practical solution to quick inspection of fipronil contamination in chicken eggs or other foods.

A novel Au-nanoparticles/poly-eriochrome black T film modified glassy carbon electrode (AuNPs/PEBT/GCE) was constructed for the simultaneous determination of l -cysteine (L-Cys) and l -tyrosine (L-Tyr) by differential pulse voltammetry . Fourier transform infrared spectra and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicate that the PEBT film was successfully polymerized on the surface of GCE and the film efficiently decreased the charge transfer resistance value of electrode and improved the electron transfer kinetic between analytes and electrode. The scanning electron microscope image shows that the immobilized AuNPs were spherical in shape and enhanced the electrical conductivity of PEBT film. In addition, PEBT film increased the oxidation currents of analytes four times when compared to bare GCE, and the AuNPs separated the oxidation potentials of L-Cys and L-Tyr by 488 mV while bare GCE failed to resolve them. The amperometry results exhibit that the electrocatalytic currents increased linearly with L-Cys concentrations in the range 0.05–100 μM ( r = 0.9981), and the detection limits of L-Cys and L-Tyr were 8 nM and 10 nM ( S / N = 3), respectively. With high sensitivity and selectivity, the proposed electrochemical sensor provides a simple method for simultaneous determination of L-Cys and L-Tyr.

Efficient conversion of glycerol to 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the affirmation and guarantee of the feasible development of biodiesel industry, but the biocompatibility of catalyst must be considered due to the wide application of DHA in food and medicine industries. In this work, an environmentally benign biosynthesis approach with Syringa oblata Lindl. (SoL) leaf extract was employed to fabricate Au/CuO catalysts for the oxidation of glycerol to DHA. The biosynthesized SoL-Au/CuO catalysts were characterized and the effects of plant extracts concentration, gold loading, calcination temperature and reaction conditions on the catalytic performance were systematically analyzed. High catalytic performance with glycerol conversion rate of 95.7% and DHA selectivity of 77.9% can be attained under optimum conditions. This work provides the first example of preparing biocompatible catalyst for the thermal catalytic oxidation of glycerol to DHA, which can not only reach efficient conversion of glycerol and selectivity to DHA, but also is simple, green, environmentally friendly, and promising.

In this study, lead(II) sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals were modified on nickel(II)oxide nanosheets (NiO NSs) via the chemical bath method. Afterwards, Au nanoparticles (NPs) were also modified successfully. A photoelectrochemical (PEC) self-powered platform for detecting sarcosine with high PEC activity was constructed. The capacity of NiO NSs to be loaded with other sensitizing materials was mainly attributed to its porous structure and large specific surface area. Under optimum conditions, the constructed PEC self-powered cathodic sensor for detecting sarcosine exhibited a linear range in 5.0 × 10 −8 –5.0 × 10 −2 mol/L with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.7 × 10 −8 mol/L. The biosensor demonstrated good reproducibility, acceptable stability and high specificity, thus confirming its potential application in the detection of other similar substances.

The large-scale synthesis and the stabilization of noble metal nanocatalysts with ultrasmall sizes are crucial to their practical application. Herein, Pd, Au, and Pt nanoparticles (NPs) are in situ embedded on boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) via the reduction of precursor salts induced by 60 Co γ-irradiation, which is a mature technique widely used in industry. The reduction mechanism was elucidated by pulse radiolysis experiments. In comparison with other BN substrates like hexagonal BN ( h -BN), BNNSs had not only large surface area of 263 m 2 g −1 , but also abundant hydroxyl groups produced during the sonicated exfoliation, resulting in ultrasmall sizes, large loading amounts, and uniform distribution of the anchored NPs. The particle sizes of the loaded Pd, Au, and Pt NPs were measured to be 2.9, 3.1, and 3.0 nm, respectively. As a consequence, in the model reaction of 2-nitroaniline reduction, the Pd-, Au- and Pt-BNNSs composite nanocatalysts showed much higher catalytic activities than those composites loading the corresponding NPs on other BN substrates. Particularly, most of the 2-nitroaniline could be reduced within merely 40 s when using Pd-BNNSs as catalysts, performing a rate constant of 1.1 × 10 −1 s −1 . The number of hydroxyl groups on BNNSs support as well as the catalytic performance of the corresponding NPs-loaded BNNSs composites could be improved by extending the sonicated exfoliation time, because more NPs were loaded and the hydroxyl groups were also proved to play an important role in enhancing the catalytic activity. Moreover, Pd-BNNSs catalysts still displayed prominent activity even after five cycles owing to the high stability of BNNSs and their strong affinity for PdNPs. This work not only demonstrates BNNSs as ideal supports to load noble metal NPs for catalysis, but also reveals the feasibility to synthesize and in situ embed ultrasmall noble metal NPs on BNNSs via γ-irradiation.

Plasma-catalytic oxidation of particulate matter (PM) has potential applications for diesel exhaust cleaning. There is a grand requirement to explore the mechanism of carbonaceous PM oxidation for the development of plasma catalysts. Herein, Au/γ-Al 2 O 3 was used to catalyze the gasification of the graphitic carbon. A modified diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometer equipped with a mass spectrometer was originally utilized to in situ characterize the surface intermediates of graphite on Au/γ-Al 2 O 3 and the gaseous products during the discharges processes in the O 2 -He balanced gases. It was found that O atoms and O 3 play important roles in the formation of surface oxygen complexes (SOCs) and facilitate the gasification of SOCs to CO 2 in the presence of Au/γ-Al 2 O 3 . The findings are helpful to understand the plasma-catalytic oxidation mechanism of PM and further develop efficient plasma catalysts.

The solid-state method was applied for synthesizing polyaniline (PANI)/noble metal hybrid materials with the presence of HAuCl 4 ·4H 2 O or H 2 PtCl 6 ·6H 2 O in the reaction medium. The structure, morphology, and electrochemical activity of the composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, UV-visible (vis) absorption spectra, energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and cyclic voltammetry. The results from FTIR and UV-vis spectra showed that the oxidation degree and doping level of the PANI in composites can be influenced by HAuCl 4 ·4H 2 O and H 2 PtCl 6 ·6H 2 O. The EDS data demonstrated that the composites contain a certain amount of Au (or Pt) element. XRD analysis indicated the presence of crystalline-state Au particles in PANI matrix prepared from the presence of HAuCl 4 ·4H 2 O and revealed that the H 2 PtCl 6 ·6H 2 O cannot be converted into metal Pt. The TEM and SEM images implied that the Au particles did exist in the polymer matrix with the size of about 20 nm. The enzymeless H 2 O 2 sensor constructed with PANI/Au composite from the presence of HAuCl 4 ·4H 2 O showed a short response time (within 5 s) and displayed an excellent performance in wide linear range.

The sensitive detection of quinalphos in food is crucial due to its improper use and the potential for serious harm. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology, provides a new way for rapid and ultra-sensitive detection. To exploit the molecular sieving effect of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in mitigating interference from food matrix components during pesticide residue detection, a novel chiral spiny L-Au@Ag@ZIF-8 (L-AAZ) three-layer core-shell composite was developed as an effective SERS substrate, with chiral L-AABPs providing abundant “hot spots” and spiny ZIF-8 shell provides excellent absorption properties, causing a five-fold increase in SERS intensity compared to traditional Au@Ag NPs. The experimental results revealed that L-AAZ achieved a high enhancement factor (EF) of 3.15 × 10 5 , a low limit of detection (LOD) of 6.56 × 10 −10 M, and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 14.6 % for malachite green (MG), indicating its superior SERS sensitivity and consistency. Moreover, it demonstrated stable performance, maintaining good storage stability for up to 55 days. The substrate's suitability for the actual fruit sample (tangerine) was confirmed, showing an LOD of 10 ng/mL, demonstrating its capability for rapid and sensitive detection of trace amounts of pesticide residues in food.

Etomidate (ET), a medical anesthetic, is increasingly being incorporated into e-liquids for consumption and abuse as a new psychoactive substance (NPS), leading to significant social issues. In this work, large-area Au micro- and nano-structured ordered arrays were engineered as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates for fast detection and precise identification of ET and its metabolites. This ordered array, characterized by abundant electromagnetic enhancement hotspots and structural uniformity, imparts unique properties to the SERS substrate, including ultra-sensitivity, spectral signal reproducibility, and precise quantitative capabilities. Furthermore, it effectively mitigates interference from the complex matrix of e-liquids, facilitating the rapid detection of trace amounts of ET molecules. This SERS rapid detection technology can act as a preliminary screening method for gold-standard spectroscopic analysis, facilitating the on-site rapid screening of suspicious samples and thereby enabling efficient detection and precise verification.

In this study, the authors designed a paper-based electrochemical immunodevice modified with copper embedded in copper sulphide hollow nanocages wrapped with Au nanoparticles (Cu@CuS@Au NPs) for the specific detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), aiming to advance point-of-care testing. The large specific surface area of Cu@CuS nanocages enables efficient capture of biotin antibodies, leading to the direct amplification of the signal through the inhibition of electron transport in the redox process of Cu, eliminating the need for universal redox electron mediators. Additionally, Au NPs on the surface of Cu@CuS can accelerate charge transfer and conjugate with anti-PSA. The hierarchical morphology and structure of Cu@CuS nanocages were characterised using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The fabrication process of the immunodevice was monitored using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses. PSA was sensitively detected using differential pulse voltammetry on this proposed immunodevice within a linear range from 0 to 100 ng/ml ( R 2 = 0.996), achieving a low detection limit of 0.077 ng/ml. In addition, the practicality of the developed immunosensor has been proven by successfully detecting PSA in human serum samples obtained from clinical settings. The integration of electrochemical sensors and microfluidic devices holds promise for developing cost-effective approaches in clinical immunoassays.
