A magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag@COOH nanoparticle (NPs)/Au film was fabricated as an effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate through a combination of a solvothermal reaction, the Stöber method and an in-situ reaction. The superparamagnetic
property of Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag and the decoration with –COOH groups allow efficient enrichment and capture of thiabendazole molecules. A large quantity of sub-10 nm gaps emerge when Ag NPs are decorated on the surface of the SiO2 shell, offering
a dramatic electromagnetic field enhancement induced by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations show that strong near-field enhancement around the gap areas between the Ag NPs and Au film occurs, which is caused by the coupling between the
LSPR of the Ag NPs and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) of the Au film. Due to the superparamagnetic property and high electromagnetic field enhancement, the Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag@COOH NPs/Au film as a SERS substrate can detect 1 μg/L thiabendazole in solution,
showing great potential for SERS detection of environmental pollutants.

We demonstrate the fabrication of yolk–shell catalysts consisting of a single M (M = Ag, Au) nanoparticle encapsulated within a hollow mesoporous organosilica shell via an organosilane-assisted strategy. The advantages of our method lie in its good controllability of the void space as well as the thickness of the mesoporous shell. The M@CTAB/SiO2 synthesized through a modified Stöber method can transform to yolk–shell structures after adding (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APTMS)/TEOS or (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES)/TEOS into the synthetic medium. We give unambiguous evidence that the middle CTAB/SiO2 layer transforms into a less dense APTMS-rich organic–inorganic layer which was selectively removed in alkaline aqueous solution, while the amino-functionalized hybrid shells remain intact. Moreover, we discuss the role of alkylamino groups in the shell in the transformation from Ag@SiO2 nanorattles to hollow structures when impregnating the as-synthesized Ag@SiO2 nanorattles in HAuCl4 aqueous solution. The nanorattles also exhibit high catalytic activity for the catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol.

Herein, we, for the first time, synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) within the nanochannels of amino group-functionalized vertically ordered mesoporous silica films (NH2–VMSF) and investigate their coreaction accelerator role in the luminol-dissolved oxygen (O2) electrochemical stripping chemiluminescence (ESCL) system. The synthesized Ag NPs are capable of electrocatalytic reduction of O2 to superoxide radicals, and meanwhile, sliver ions (Ag+) electrochemically stripped from Ag NPs can promote the amount of luminol anion radicals, generating the boosted ECL intensity of the luminol-dissolved O2 system. This proposed Ag NPs@NH2–VMSF on the indium tin oxide electrode was applied to construct the ESCL aptasensor for quantitative determination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), yielding a low detection limit [0.19 pg/mL (S/N = 3)] and a broad linear dynamic range (1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL). Furthermore, good analytical performance of PSA in serum with satisfactory recoveries and low relative standard deviation values is achieved by our developed ESCL aptasensor, rendering it a convenient and sensitive method for PSA determination in clinical applications and further broadening the strategy of ESCL techniques.

The threat posed by biological and chemical warfare agents (BCWA) to national security, the environment, and personal health underscores the need for innovative chemical protective clothing. To address the limitations of conventional activated carbon materials, which are prone to falling off and adsorption saturation, an efficient self-association approach was introduced. In this study, we proposed the immobilization of metal–organic framework (MOF) 808 and Ag nanoparticles onto a polypropylene (PP) fiber membrane using a rapid self-association method facilitated by chitosan (CS). The MOF 808/Ag-based (PP-CS/808-Ag) fiber membrane demonstrated exceptional degradation efficiency, achieving a remarkable rate of t1/2 within 2 h for the mustard simulant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES) and a rate of t1/2 = 4.12 min for the G-series simulant dimethyl 4-nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP). A theoretical computational model was developed to determine the overall reaction mechanism, and it was verified that MOF 808 and Ag nanoparticles were mainly involved in the hydrolysis process against 2-CEES and DMNP. The PP-CS/808-Ag composite fiber film was prepared as the core layer, and the fracture strength, bending resistance, and moisture permeability were better than those specified by many countries for biochemical protective clothing, showing that it has a broad application prospect in developing a generation of broad-spectrum bioprotective clothing.

Considering the indispensable of pH for tap water, a pH sensor with the characteristics of an implantable, long-term stable, and long lifetime is urgently needed for on-line and in situ pH monitoring in tap water, but this is always a challenging issue. In this article, a competitive integrated electrochemical pH sensor is developed and batch manufactured via micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS). A dense and ultrasensitive IrOx electrode is obtained for almost 1.5 times Nernst response (−82.88 mV/pH), after preparation process optimization. A Si-Si3N4-KCl agar gel-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) multilayer structured Ag/AgCl electrode is designed and proven to be a long lifetime (>40 days) and be stable. By integrating with the IrOx film and solid-state Ag/AgCl electrode on a mini chip and verifying the effectiveness of the as-fabricated sensor by pH detection, the miniature pH sensor demonstrates wide detection range (1.8–12), stirring sensitivity, desirable linearity ( ${R}^{2}=0.999$ ), ideal repeatability and good resistance to other interference substances. Particularly, by employing the mass-production technique, favorable response consistency (relative standard deviation (RSD) < 2%) is witnessed, offering the opportunity to mass-produce the proposed sensor in the future. What’s more, the sensor still kept 91.7% sensitivity when compared to the sensitivity obtained at its initial state, after continuously operating for 32 days. Undoubtedly, the sensitive, durable, miniaturized, and mass-produced pH sensor proposed in this article is a competitive device to implant into the water pipeline for pH in situ online monitoring.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a pivotal broad-spectrum tumor marker, yet its accurate quantification in early-stage cancer remains challenging due to the limited sensitivity and operational complexity of conventional immunoassays. We report a signal-on fluorescent probe that synergistically integrates the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) quenching capability of Au@Ag NPs with enzyme-free catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification for ultrasensitive detection of CEA. In this design, a Cy3-labeled hairpin DNA (H1) is anchored onto Au@Ag NPs to construct Au@Ag-H1 NPs, where the fluorophore is efficiently quenched. In the presence of CEA, the target specifically displaces a complementary DNA (cDNA) trigger from its aptamer duplex, initiating a CHA cascade reaction that repeatedly opens H1, spatially separates Cy3 from the nanoparticle surface, and restores the fluorescence emission. This strategy endows the probe with both an ultralow background signal and exponential signal amplification. Under optimized conditions, the proposed probe exhibited a wide linear range from 0.1 to 50 ng·mL − 1 with a limit of detection as low as 67.2 pg·mL − 1 , alongside excellent selectivity, reproducibility, and stability. Its practical utility was further validated through successful application in spiked human serum and clinical samples from cancer patients. Collectively, this approach provides a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive platform for CEA quantification, holding considerable promise for early cancer screening and diagnostics. Graphical abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( PA ) is an opportunistic pathogen that is widely distributed in soil, water, air, food, animal, and human body surfaces, and is also one of the main pathogens of iatrogenic infections which can cause various infections in people with weakened immune systems. The rapid detection of PA in varied environmental and clinical samples is important for hospital infection control, clinical diagnosis, and food and environmental safety monitoring. In this study, we constructed an efficient separation and enrichment surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform based on a dual recognition strategy, and supplemented it with a machine learning nonlinear regression model to achieve rapid, highly sensitive, accurate, and specific detection of PA. By combining the SERS platform with support vector machine learning regression model, a detection limit of 15 CFU/mL with a liner range of 50 to 10 8 cells/mL was achieved. The highly sensitive dual-identification tag-type SERS quantitative analysis system established in this study has the advantages of wide detection range, low detection limit, good specificity, high accuracy and short detection time, thereby providing a method for the prevention and clinical diagnosis of PA infection-related diseases as well as food and environmental safety monitoring.

Introduction Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) colonization further aggravates tumor progression, immunosuppression and therapeutic resistance. Conventional monotherapies are limited by insufficient tumor targeting, rapid drug clearance and failure to reverse immune suppression. Here, we fabricated cRGD-modified nanoparticles (Ag@GQDs/QUE-siP-c-L) for co-delivery of AgNPs, quercetin (QUE) and PD-L1 siRNA (siP).Methods The morphology, particle size, surface metal elements, drug content and QUE entrapment efficiency of Ag@GQDs/QUE-siP-c-L were obtained using particle size analysis, SEM, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and HPLC. We further detected cellular uptake, in vitro drug release, cytotoxicity, intracellular reactive oxygen species level, PD-L1 gene silencing efficiency and in vitro anti-Fn activity. Pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of Ag and QUE were analyzed by ICP-OES and LC-MS/MS, and in vivo antitumor efficacy and biosafety were tested in Fn-colonized orthotopic 4T1 tumor mice.Results Ag@GQDs/QUE-siP-c-L exhibited uniform spherical morphology (195.87± 15.96 nm) with high encapsulation of QUE. cRGD modification enhanced Ag/QUE cellular uptake in 4T1 cells, with pH-responsive release accelerated under tumor acidic conditions. The nanoparticles exhibited selective tumor cytotoxicity, induced oxidative stress, downregulated PD-L1 mRNA, and exerted potent anti-Fn activity in vitro. Pharmacokinetics revealed increased AUC0-t and reduced clearance compared with free drugs, and cRGD modification promoted tumor accumulation and retention of drugs. In vivo preliminary experiments proved the Ag@GQDs/QUE-siP-c-L formulation suppressed tumor growth with a tumor inhibition rate of 45%, and effectively modulated the tumor immune microenvironment: it increased tumor-infiltrating CD3⁺CD4⁺ T cells, reduced PD-L1⁺CD11c⁺ dendritic cells, and decreased the proportions of immunosuppressive Tregs and MDSCs. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and serum liver-kidney biochemistry confirmed no obvious systemic toxicity.Conclusion Ag@GQDs/QUE-siP-c-L serves as a multimodal nanoplatform for Fn-associated TNBC with combined in vitro antibacterial, gene silencing and in vivo antitumor immunomodulatory effects, showing great potential for future translational research.

In this work, Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were embedded into a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-laponite (Ag/PNIP-LAP) hydrogel membrane for highly sensitive surface-enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) detection. In situ polymerization was initiated by UV light to encapsulate AgNPs in a PNIP-LAP hydrogel to prepare a highly active SERS membrane with a three-dimensional structure. Due to the surface plasmon resonance and high swelling/shrinkage ratio of the Ag/PNIP-LAP hydrogel SERS membrane, its network structure has a “sieving” effect, which makes it easier for hydrophilic small-molecule targets to enter the sterically confined hydrogel, and the AgNPs are close to each other to form a Raman “hot spot” through the shrinkage of the hydrogel, at the same time, the analyte is enriched in the confined space and close to the AgNPs to form a stronger SERS signal. The characterization of the SERS activity of the Ag/PNIP-LAP hydrogel showed that the prepared three-dimensional membrane had high detection sensitivity for urotropine, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, pyrazinamide, and pyrazine; the detection limits (S/N = 3) were 17.4, 31.0, 53.1, and 1.11 μg/L, and the analytical time was 35 min. Due to the hydrophilicity of the Ag/PNIP-LAP hydrogel membrane, the small molecules can easily enter the SERS membrane, and the hydrophobic macromolecules are blocked outside the SERS membrane. The SERS method has good selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. The SERS method was applied to the detection of urotropine in dried bean curd sticks, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine in nuts and potato chips, and pyrazinamide in human plasma with recoveries of 81.8–116.8% and the relative standard deviation within 4.9–9.9%. The results matched well with that found by the corresponding chromatographic methods. The proposed method has the advantages of simple sample pretreatment, speediness, high sensitivity, and good selectivity to hydrophilic compounds and has potential application in the rapid on-site detection.

Controlled aggregation of noble metal nanoparticles is incredibly crucial for obtaining reliable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties. Here, a rational agglomeration of large Ag nanowires (NWs) and small Ag nanocubes (NCs) was readily facilitated by simply utilizing the intrinsic viscosity of adhesive tape , leading to the generation of abundant electromagnetic “hotspots” around the numerous crossed nanotips and ultra-small nanogaps. After the molecular enrichment efficiency was further promoted by exploiting a hydrophilic-hydrophobic strategy, an ultra-low limit of detection as 8.8 × 10 −11 M was demonstrated for rhodamine 6 G. Benefiting from the high sensitivity of the SERS chip, its application in the determination of clinical sample containing mixed gefitinib and ritonavir was finally proved, facilitating impressive specificity and accuracy. Considering the simplicity and reliability, our strategy has great potentials to be applied in clinical blood drug identification and concentration monitoring.

Hollow double-shelled Ag@SrTiO 3 -TiO 2 with Z-scheme heterostructure was constructed for highly efficient photocatalytic reduction of nitrate to N 2 . The 3D finite-difference-time-domain analysis indicated that hollow double-shelled structure improved light harvesting due to multiple reflections. Photo-generated electrons transfer from SrTiO 3 to Ag 0 caused by electron sink effect were utilized to reduce nitrate, while photo-generated electrons of TiO 2 migrated to SrTiO 3 via transport bridge of Ti 3+ defects for electron–hole recombination. Such charge carriers migration pathway facilitated the construction of Z-scheme heterostructure, which enhanced charge separation yet still retained high redox powers. Both photogenerated electrons and CO 2 − played important role in photocatalytic denitrification. Furthermore, Ag 0 acted as co-catalyst which not only promoted photogenerated electrons transfer to nitrate but also enhanced nitrate conversion selectivity to N 2 . Combining the above advantages, nitrate removal rate and the nitrogen selectivity reached 97.2 % and 98.8 % within 60 min, respectively. Even after five cycles, it still remained satisfied photocatalytic activity and stability. In summary, this work proposed a feasible strategy to construct Z-scheme hollow double-shelled photocatalyst for efficient photocatalytic denitrification.

Conveniently and efficiently monitoring I − and Hg 2+ in agricultural products or drinking beverages for the protection of human health is currently a great challenge. With this aim, a Ag-Pt bimetal quantum-dot nanozyme boosted by bioactive folic acid (FA@Ag-Pt QDs) was first developed for multichannel monitoring of I − and Hg 2+ in this work using a two-step liquid-phase reduction method. Not only did the present FA@Ag-Pt QDs possess superior peroxidase-like activity with Michaelis constant ( K m ) and maximal reaction rate ( V max ) of 0.01 mM/2.95 × 10 −8 M·s −1 and 1.15 mM/3.88 × 10 −8 M·s −1 , respectively, trace Hg 2+ or I − could exclusively alter their enzyme-mimic performance with obvious color changes from blue to colorless or dark blue. I − could also strengthen the inherent fluorescence property of FA@Ag-Pt QDs. When applied for visual monitoring of I − and Hg 2+ in real beverages or iodine-containing agricultural products, the detection recoveries were 93.9 %–105.3 % and 96.8–104.3 % with low detection limits of 6.56 × 10 −8 mol/L and 4.00 × 10 −10 mol/L (S/N = 3), respectively. The recovery and detection limit for fluorescent detection of I − were 95.8 %–104.1 % and 1.75 × 10 −8 mol/L (S/N = 3), respectively. The mechanisms driving the improved peroxidase-like activity of FA@Ag-Pt QDs and their selective monitoring of Hg 2+ and I − were illustrated in detail. The proposed FA@Ag-Pt QDs will act as an efficient sensor for the practical multichannel monitoring of Hg 2+ and I − , with superior catalytic signal amplification.
