Natural photosynthesis involves an efficient charge-transfer pathway through exquisitely arranged photosystems and electron transport intermediates, which separate photogenerated carriers to realize high quantum efficiency. It inspires a rational design construction of artificial photosynthesis systems and the architectures of semiconductors are essential to achieve optimal performance. Of note, biomineralization processes could form various mesocrystals with well-ordered superstructures for unique optical applications. Inspired by both natural photosynthesis and biomineralization, we construct a ternary superstructure-based mesocrystal TiO2 (meso-TiO2)/Au/CdS artificial photosynthesis system by a green photo-assisted method. The well-ordered superstructure of meso-TiO2 and efficient charge-transfer pathway among the three components are crucial for retarding charge recombination. As a result, the meso-TiO2/Au/CdS photocatalyst displays enhanced visible light-driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (4.60 mmol h–1 g–1), which is 3.2 times higher than that of commercial TiO2 (P25)/Au/CdS with disordered TiO2 nanocrystal aggregates (1.41 mmol h–1 g–1). This work provides a promising bioinspired design strategy for photocatalysts with an improved solar conversion efficiency.

The authors describe an aptamer-based assay for 17β-estradiol. It relies on the combined use of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The aptamer against 17β-estradiol is applied as the recognition probes, and this results in excellent specificity. Specific recognition of target 17β-estradiol induce the freedom of DNA 2, which will open the stem-loop structure of probe 1 on the Au@Ag and form the partial dsDNA structure. With the nicking enzyme, the partial dsDNA will be hydrolyzed and the reside ssDNA on Au@Ag will form a small stem-loop structure. With the help of the other probe 2 modified Au@Ag and pre-immobilized probe 3 on the well of the microplate, an enzyme-free HCR can occur and tremendous Au@Ag can be assembled along the formed dsDNA in HCR, which can act as the excellent substrate for Raman measurement and greatly amplify the Raman signal of R6G on the Au@Ag. Afterwards, the key factor, ratio between probe 2-Au@Ag (P2) and probe1-Au@Ag (P1), affects the detection sensitivity is systematically optimized for the best sensing performance. The SERS signal of R6G, best measured at 1651 cm −1 , increases linearly in the wide range from 1 pM to 10 nM. The detection limit can be as low as 0.1 pM.
Schematic presentation of an aptamer-based surface enhanced Raman scattering method for accurate detection of 17β-estradiol, which is integrated with hybridization chain reaction for signal amplification and sensitivity improvement.

An environmentally friendly and facile method for the synthesis of small-sized Au–Ag alloy nanoparticles is proposed. The method involves the coreduction of HAuCl 4 and AgNO 3 using Lysimachia christinae polysaccharide as reductant and stabiliser at 85°C. The synthesised alloy nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 3.81 nm are stable in solution due to the stabilising effect of the polysaccharide. Furthermore, Au–Ag nanoparticles have first been introduced into cigarette filter to serve as a synergistic catalyst for reducing CO in mainstream smoke.

Transition metal oxides (TMOs) derived from metal − organic frameworks (MOF) combined with two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides possibly pave an innovative pathway for designing promising biosensors. Herein, a novel electrochemical sensing platform has been fabricated for ultra-sensitive determination of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), based on MOF-derived MnO 2 /Mn 3 O 4 and Ti 3 C 2 MXene/Au NPs composites. Remarkably, the three-dimensional (3D) MnO 2 /Mn 3 O 4 hierarchical microcuboids derived from Mn-MOF are composed of vertically aligned, highly ordered nanosheets, and further combined with MXene/Au NPs yields synergistic signal amplification effect, with outstanding electrochemical performance, large specific surface area, and good environmental biocompatibility. Under the optimum conditions, the reported sensing platform AChE-Chit/MXene/Au NPs/MnO 2 /Mn 3 O 4 /GCE can be utilized to detect methamidophos in a broad concentration range (10 −12 –10 −6 M), together with a good linearity (R = 0.995). Besides that, the biosensor possesses a low limit of detection (1.34 × 10 −13 M), which far exceeds the maximum residue limits (MRLs) for methamidophos (0.01 mg/kg) established by European Union. Additionally, the feasibility of the proposed biosensor for detecting methamidophos in real samples has been demonstrated with excellent recoveries (95.2%–101.3%). Interestingly, the unique structures and remarkable properties of these composites make them attractive materials for various electrochemical sensors for monitoring either pesticide residuals or other environmentally deleterious chemicals.

To achieve high catalytic activity and stability with low noble-metal loadings on green and natural supports has attracted tremendous attention in the past few years. Herein, a facile strategy is exploited to synthesize Au nanoclusters (with size of ∼1.4 nm) which are homogeneously distributed on carbonized natural lotus leaf sheets with less mass. Compared to the pure AuNCs, the AuNCs@carbonized lotus leaf (AuNCs@C-lotus leaf) micro/nanohybrid with the unique papillae structures and large surface area not only exhibits better catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), but also prevent the aggregation of AuNCs. In addition, the catalytic performance of AuNCs@C-lotus leaf catalyst increased with the temperature increasing of the reaction temperature. Moreover, the AuNCs@C-lotus leaf catalyst can be packed into a filtering platform to fabricate a fixed-bed system, with which the catalytic conversion could reach 71.7% for 0.2 mM 4-NP solution that pass through at flow rate of 1 mL/min. Furthermore, the AuNCs@C-lotus leaf catalyst shows excellent recyclability and only slight loss of catalytical activity is observed after recycling for five successive times. This mild and environmental friendly methodology could be generalized to the synthesis of other metallic nanoparticles@carbonized botanical leaf micro/nanohybrids as promising heterogeneous catalysts for varied catalytic reactions.

Active capture and ultrasensitive SERS-based detection of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) has been a challenging task. A novel strategy based on 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) surface modification on Au nanosheets-built hollow sub-microcubes (ANHCs) was proposed to capture HCH pesticides effectively via Suzuki cross coupling reaction. The ANHCs structure composed of numerous intertwined nanosheets was firstly prepared by Au nanocrystals heteroepitaxial growth on AgCl cubes. Then, the 4-MPBA molecules were selected to modify on the surface of ANHCs for SERS-based detection of HCH. The SERS results proved that active capture and ultrasensitive detection of HCH could be implemented, and the limit of detection is 0.3 ppb. Besides, 4-MPBA modified substrate show high reproducibility and sensitivity than unmodified one. Moreover, the characteristic peak intensity ratio I HCH /I 4-MPBA presents a good linear relationship with the logarithm of a certain concentrations, and achieve SERS-based quantitative detection of HCH. In addition, this strategy has been successfully used for the detection and differentiation of mixed HCH isomers in water samples. The surface modification strategy on high performance SERS substrate provides a good route for the highly ultrasensitive detection and active capture of HCH, and paves a way for the detection of organochlorine pesticide residues in water samples.

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) represents the average glucose level over the past three months and has been considered as the most important biomarker for the diagnosis of Type Ⅱ diabetes (T2D). Herein, a label-free and quantitative electrochemical biosensor based on 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) modified gold nano-flowers (Au NFs) substrate was developed for the determination of HbA1c. Under optimal conditions, the linear dynamic ranges of HbA1c (5 μg/mL - 1000 μg/mL) and HbA1c% (2%–20%) by cyclic voltammetry were achieved. The electrochemical biosensor showed great detection specificity towards HbA1c and relatively stability after storage at 4 °C. This method could also be applied in human serum system which holds great potential to be applied to monitor real blood samples of diabetes patients. In human serum system, the recovery rate could reach 103.8% and 99.0%. It could achieve fast detection, the total analysis time was less than 65 min, and the detection time was less than 10 s. Moreover, in terms of fabrication process, operation procedure, detection time and cost, this technique was superior to the current HbA1c detection methods suggesting great promise for the practical clinical use in the future.

A novel hierarchical ZnO rose-like architecture assembled by porous nanosheets was synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method combined with calcination process and used to fabricate gas sensors. The gas sensing measurements showed that the samples exhibited superior individual BTX (benzene, toluene and xylene) sensing properties. By designing more tiny pores on hierarchical rose petal-like nanosheet surface, the specific surface area of the samples was further extended. Besides, highly dispersed Au nanoparticles were grown on the ZnO rose-like architectures to enhance the gas sensing performance via a precipitation manner. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses indicated the average grain size of these Au nanoparticles was about 3 nm. The gas sensing results showed that the responses of the Au-ZnO sensor to 20 ppm individual benzene, toluene and xylene were 16.25 46.43 and 76.47, which were 4.33, 4.47 and 6.51 times higher than those of the pure specimens. Besides, the optimal working temperature was also decreased from 302 °C to 206 °C. The Au-ZnO sensor also exhibited short response/recovery times, low-concentration detection capability and good stability. The schottky contact between Au and ZnO, catalytic activity of Au nanoparticles and the specific ZnO porous rose-like architectures could be three pivotal factors for the superior BTX sensing properties.

In this study, we developed a simple colorimetric approach to detect glutathione (GSH). The proposed approach is based on the ability of CuS-PDA-Au composite material to catalytically oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to ox-TMB to induce a blue color with an absorption peak centered at 652 nm. However, the introduction of GSH can result in a decrease in oxidized TMB; similarly, it can combine with Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) on the surface of CuS-PDA-Au composite material. Both approaches can result in a fading blue color and a reduction of the absorbance at 652 nm. Based on this above, we proposed a technique to detect GSH quantitatively and qualitatively through UV-Vis spectroscopy and naked eye, respectively. This approach demonstrates a low detection limit of 0.42 μM with a broad detection range of 5 × 10 −7 –1 × 10 −4 M with the assistance of UV-Vis spectroscopy. More importantly, this approach is convenient and rapid. This method was successfully applied to GSH detection in human serum and cell lines.
A colorimetric approach has been developed by exploiting the peroxidase-like activity of CuS-polydopamine-Au composite for sensitive glutathione detection.

Common colorimetric immunoassays only show monochromatic intensity variations, and the absorbance intensity is utilized for the quantitative detection of the analytes. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that Au Nanobipyramid@Ag Nanorods (Au NBP@Ag) is an ideal multicolor chromogenic substrate for immunoassays which combines the absorbance intensity with the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) peak shifts are utilized for quantitative detection of the analytes, and vivid color variations are used for semi-quantitative detection. Our investigation reveals that unlike the single metallic nanoparticles such as gold nanorods which show one-way LSPR peak shifts, Au NBP@Ag Nanorods shows an interesting multi-way peak shifts: the LSPR peak would initially blue shift, and then red shift, finally blue shift again during the etching process. As a result, a series of vivid colors can be observed. The results indicate that the correlation linear range for the detection of Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) was 2.5–105 ng/mL. Although only the detection of SCCA is demonstrated in this work, this method is easy to expand to detect other biomarkers since our method is based on conventional immunoassay strategy.

A highly effective and stable hollow Fe 3 O 4 /P(GMA-EGDMA)-SO 3 H/Au-PPy catalyst was prepared. Monodisperse hollow Fe 3 O 4 microspheres were synthesized using a hydrothermal method. As the catalyst support, magnetic hollow Fe 3 O 4 /P(GMA-EGDMA) microspheres with core–shell structure were prepared by distillation precipitation polymerization. Then sulfonic acid groups (─SO 3 H) were introduced into the surface of the support by surface modification. Au 3+ could be adsorbed by coordination with ─SO 3 H and underwent redox reactions with added pyrrole monomers. Finally, an Au–polypyrrole (PPy) layer was formed on the surface of the Fe 3 O 4 /P(GMA-EGDMA)-SO 3 H microspheres. The synthesized material was characterized using various techniques. Results indicated that the as-prepared hollow Fe 3 O 4 /P(GMA-EGDMA)-SO 3 H/Au-PPy catalyst had excellent catalytic activity and exhibited reusability for the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol. In addition, the catalyst was reusable for at least ten successive cycles.

A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) cytosensor was proposed for the quantitative detection of HeLa cells (human cervical cancer cells) with the help of a signal amplification strategy. Firstly, the Au-NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocomposites were prepared by a simple in situ hydrothermal method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, UV-vis spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. Compared with the bare NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocomposites, the ECL intensity of Au-NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocomposites was greatly enhanced by about 4.2-fold which can be attributed to the good conductivity of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The nanocomposites showed high and stable ECL emission, fast response and superior conductivity, all of which were advantageous to the ECL detection. Furthermore, HeLa cells were immobilized on the modified electrode via the interaction between folic acid and a folate receptor present on the cell surface. The ECL cytosensor showed satisfactory sensitive response to HeLa cells in a linear range of 4.25 × 102–4.25 × 105 cells per mL with a low detection limit of 326 cells per mL. The proposed cytosensor had good sensitivity and stability, which can offer a great potential platform for bioassay analysis.
