Nowadays, the presence of highly toxic and persistent residues of pesticides in water and food around the world is becoming a serious problem, and so their rapid and sensitive detection is critical to human health. In this work, a 3D composite nanoparticle of porous PDA (polydopamine) microspheres and Au NPs (PPDA@Au NPs) was proposed as a SERS substrate to detect pesticides. Porous PDA as a substrate was first synthesized with F127 (Pluronic F127), dopamine hydrochloride, and 1,3,5-TMB (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) under weakly alkaline conditions by a one-step method. Then, HAuCl4 was in situ reduced in the pores of PPDA spheres and grew sequentially for effecting the reducibility of PPDA. As a result, uniform 3D PPDA@Au NPs with “hot spots” were successfully synthesized as SERS substrates, which could effectively avoid the agglomeration of gold nanoparticles to greatly improve the sensitivity and uniformity of the SERS platform. At the same time, methyl parathion, 4-chlorophenol, and 2,4-D as representatives of pesticides were detected with the proposed PPDA@Au NP-based SERS platform, with detection limits lower than 7.26, 7.52, and 11 ng mL−1, separately. The current work presents a simple preparation method to prepare sensitive and uniform SERS platform PPDA@Au NPs, which have potential for applications in actual pesticide and drug testing.

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.

The novel TiO 2 and Ni-MOF materials were synthesized and utilized for the detection of permethrin (PET). A highly sensitive solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed based on Ni-MOF@Ru(bpy) 3 2+ and Au NPs@TiO 2 . In this sensing platform, Ru(bpy) 3 2+ -Tripropyl Amine (TPrA) was used as a luminescent signal, Ni-MOF acted as a carrier to carry more luminescent reagents Ru(bpy) 3 2+ . Au NPs acted as promoters facilitated electron transport and TiO 2 could further enhance the luminescence intensity of the system by synergistical interaction with Au NPs. The possible mechanisms of signal amplification were investigated. The ECL intensity decreased significantly with increasing PET concentration, enabling the determination of PET amount through the observation of the change in ECL signal intensity (ΔI). Under optimal experimental conditions, the linear range of PET concentration from 1.0 × 10 −11 mol L −1 to 1.0 × 10 −6 mol L −1 , with a detection limit of 3.3 × 10 −12 mol L −1 (3S/N). This method was successfully applied to determine PET in various vegetable samples.

We report the facile synthesis of environmentally benign Au NPs/chitosan composites and magnetic Au NPs/chitosan/Fe3O4 composites without employing any toxic reductants or capping agents. Renewable natural chitosan not only functioned as supporting matrix, but also served as a reductant and stabilizer for the formation and dispersions of Au NPs. Fe3O4 nanospheres were easily embedded into the chitosan matrix due to the strong complexation ability of chitosan with Fe3O4, which originated from the sharing of the lone electron pairs from the nitrogen atom in amine with FeII or FeIII on the surface of Fe3O4. The as-prepared magnetic composites exhibited much higher activities, as well as more convenient magnetic recyclability than other supported Au NPs towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. From the practical point of view, apart from good performance of the reduction of nitro compounds, the biocompatibility and biodegradability of present Au NPs/chitosan/Fe3O4 composites promote the potential applications in the biochemical catalysis or therapy.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus, has had a profound impact on global health and economies worldwide. This unprecedented crisis has affected individuals, communities, and nations in diverse manners. Developing simple and accurate diagnostic methods is an imperative task for frequent testing to mitigate the spread of the virus. Among these methods, SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests in clinical specimens have emerged as a promising diagnostic method for COVID-19 due to their sensitive and accurate detection of spike (S) protein, which plays a crucial role in viral infection initiation. Results In this work, a dual-signal amplification surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based S protein biosensor was constructed based on Au NPs/COFs and enzyme-free catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) amplification method. The approach relies on a released free DNA sequence (T), which is generated from the competition reaction between Aptamer/T and Aptamer/S protein, to trigger a CHA reaction. Due to the high binding affinity and selectivity between the S protein and its aptamer, CHA process was triggered with the maximum SERS tags (H2-conjugated Au@4-mercaptobenzonitrile@Ag) anchored onto Au NPs/COFs substrate surface. This SERS platform could detect the S protein at concentrations with high sensitivity (limit of detection = 3.0 × 10 −16 g/mL), wide detection range (1 × 10 −16 to 1 × 10 −11 g/mL), acceptable reproducibility (relative standard deviation = 7.01 %) and excellent specificity. The biosensor was also employed to detect S protein in artificial human salivas. Significance Thus, this study not only developed a novel Au NPs/COFs substrate exhibiting strong SERS enhancement ability and high reproducibility, but also proposed a promising dual-signal amplification SERS-based diagnostic method for COVID-19, holding immense potential for the detection of a wide range of antigens and infectious diseases in future applications.

Background Cobalt, an essential trace element, is vital for maintaining human nervous system function, aiding in DNA synthesis, and contributing to red blood cell production. It is helpful for disease diagnosis and treatment plan evaluation by precisely monitoring its concentration changes in the human body. Despite extensive efforts made, due to its ultra-low concentration, the current limit of detection (LOD) as reported is still inadequate and cannot be satisfied with the precise clinical applications. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel label-free sensors with high sensitivity and excellent selectivity for detecting trace amounts of Co 2+ . Results Here, an ultrasensitive optical fiber SPR sensor was designed and fabricated for label-free detection of Co 2+ with ultra-low concentration. It is achieved by modifying the carboxyl-functionalized CQDs on the AuNPs/Au film-coated hetero-core fiber, which can specifically capture the Co 2+ , leading to changes in the fiber's surface refractive index (RI) and subsequent SPR wavelength shifts in the transmission spectrum. Both the Au film and AuNPs on the fiber are modified with CQDs, leveraging their large surface area to enhance the number of active sites and probes. The sensor exhibits an ultra-high sensitivity of approximately 6.67 × 10 19 nm/M, and the LOD is obtained as low as 5.36 × 10 −20 M which is several orders of magnitude lower compared to other conventional methods. It is also experimentally demonstrated that the sensor possesses excellent specificity, stability, and repeatability, which may be adapted for detecting real clinical samples. Significance The CQDs-functionalized optical fiber SPR sensor exhibits substantial potential for precisely detecting Co 2+ of trace amounts, which is especially vital for scarce clinical samples. Additionally, the sensing platform with sample sensor fabrication and measurement configuration introduces a novel, highly sensitive approach to biochemical analysis, particularly adapting for applications involving the detection of trace targets, which could also be employed to detect various biochemical targets by facile modification of CQDs with specific groups or biomolecules.

Efficient generation, transport, and utilization of plasmon-induced hot carriers remain fundamental challenges in the development of photoresponsive electrocatalysts. Herein, a hierarchical Au nanoparticle (NP)-decorated NiFe layered double hydroxide/Ni(TCNQ) 2 heterostructure supported on copper foam (Au NPs–NiFe LDH–Ni(TCNQ) 2 /CF) with a rationally designed conductive Ni(TCNQ) 2 interlayer is engineered, and the Au NPs size is systematically optimized to maximize plasmon-enhanced electrocatalytic performance. The conductive Ni(TCNQ) 2 nanorods serve as both electron-transport pathways and structural scaffolds enabling the growth of ultrathin NiFe LDH nanosheets, while plasmonic Au NPs enable light-driven electronic modulation. The integration of these components establishes efficient pathways for charge generation, separation, and transfer, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of plasmon-generated carriers. Notably, a systematic size-dependent investigation identifies 5-nm Au NPs as the optimal plasmonic configuration, exhibiting the strongest localized surface plasmon resonance enhancement. Under light irradiation, the optimized catalyst achieves an additional overpotential reduction of 22 mV at 100 mA cm −2 and a decreased Tafel slope of 60.47 mV dec −1 , highlighting the critical role of NP dimensions in regulating hot-carrier generation and interfacial charge-transfer efficiency. Importantly, the synergistic interaction between plasmon-induced electronic excitation and conductive interlayer engineering effectively promotes charge transport across the heterointerface and enhances the overall electrocatalytic process. This study provides new insights into the rational design of plasmon-enhanced electrocatalysts and offers a versatile strategy for integrating hot-carrier modulation with conductive interface engineering in solar-driven energy conversion systems.

The development of a simple-yet-practical and accurate sensing strategy for rapid detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related miRNA in biofluids holds great promise for early diagnosis and monitoring of AD. Herein, a colorimetric/portable Raman dual-mode nanoprobe was proposed for quantification of AD-related miRNA-574-5p in biological fluids. The MOF-818@Au NPs@ssDNA nanoprobe was prepared by step-by-step loading of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and ssDNA onto the surface of MOF-818. Strikingly, the adsorbed ssDNA was capable of greatly improving the intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of MOF-818@Au NPs. In the presence of miRNA-574-5p, the ssDNA onto MOF-818@Au NPs will specifically hybridized with miRNA-574-5p, resulting in the desorption of ssDNA from MOF-818@Au NPs and the decrease of nanoenzyme activity for H 2 O 2 -mediated TMB oxidation. Based on this feature, visualization and quantitative analysis of miRNA-574-5p can be successfully realized by observing and measuring changes in output colorimetric/Raman signal from blue TMB oxide (oxTMB) with portable Raman spectrometer. Experimental results demonstrated that the colorimetric/portable Raman dual-mode nanoprobe can be utilized for fast, sensitive and accurate detection of AD-related miRNA-574-5p in complex human serum samples, providing a universal, valuable and practical tool for AD biomarkers detection and AD early diagnosis.

A novel sandwich-type “on-off” electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the determination of α(2,3)-sial-Gs was designed. Specifically, amino-functionalized porous silica nanoparticles (HPSNs-NH 2 ) were first prepared and then decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form HPSNs-NH 2 @Au NP nanocomposite, which exhibited a strong ability to enhance ECL intensity with K 2 S 2 O 8 as co-reactant (signal-on) and could immobilize the target-specific binding molecules of maackia amurensis lectin (MAL). Additionally, AuPdPt trimetallic nanoparticles were prepared to serve as a quenched ECL signal indicator (signal-off) with the ability of capturing the target non-specific binding molecules of 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APBA) to form a signal label. The sandwich-type ECL biosensor was constructed based on the structure of MAL-α(2,3)-sial-Gs-APBA and achieved a determination toward α(2,3)-sial-Gs with a wide linear range from 1 fg mL −1 to 10 ng mL −1 and a low detection limit of 0.5 fg mL −1 . Furthermore, the proposed ECL biosensor showed satisfactory selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for α(2,3)-sial-Gs determination. Graphical Abstract

A target-catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) and graphene/Au-NPs hybrids-based platform has been developed for the determination of DNA . This new sensor not only avoided any labeling but also reduced the background signal. In the absence of target, the assembly of H1 and H2 couldn't be triggered. The catalytic activity of graphene/Au-NPs hybrids was inhibited by adsorption of H1 and H2, leading to the “inactive” hybrids unable to catalyze the oxidation reaction of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). However, with the addition of target DNA, the target-catalyzed hairpin assembly was initiated and produced plenty of H1–H2 duplex, which had a weak binding affinity with the graphene/Au-NPs. Thus, the protected interface of graphene/Au-NPs hybrids became active and catalyzed the oxidation reaction of TMB accompanied with a colorless to-blue color change. This approach exhibited good sensitivity and specificity for target DNA with a detection limit of 5.74 × 10 −11 M, and realized the assay of target DNA in human serum samples. Besides, this sensor could be further expanded to detect viruses or proteins by adapting the corresponding aptamers, showing great potential in biochemical detections.

Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ), a prevalent foodborne pathogen, poses a significant threat to public health. Rapid, specific, and sensitive on-site pathogen detection methods are crucial for food safety. In this study, a ternary MXene/WS 2 /Au NPs composite was synthesized via a solvothermal and in situ growth method. This composite serves dual purposes as a photoactive material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensing and as an effective antibacterial catalyst. A PEC aptasensor was developed using MXene/WS 2 /Au NPs as the substrate and a ferrocene-modified aptamer as the recognition probe, enabling quantitative detection of S. aureus . The sensor exhibits a wide linear range (1.0 × 10–1.0 × 10 7 CFU/mL) and an ultra-low detection limit (3.0 CFU/mL). Additionally, the nanocomposite demonstrates strong peroxidase-like activity, efficiently catalyzing H 2 O 2 to generate ·OH, offering broad-spectrum antibacterial properties for pathogen control in food safety monitoring.

An electrochemical strategy for adenine detection was described. In order to generate a 3D net-work composite film, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) capped with 3-thiophene acetic acid (3-TAA) were used to couple with molecular imprinting technique (MIT). In the presence of the 3-TAA capping Au NPs (Au NPs-T), the electrode-surface-tethered 3-TAAs were polymerized to form a homogeneous conductive material immobilized into the electrode. Through this sensor fabrication, Au NPs-T associating with the Au electrode resulted in enhanced sensitivity and MIT contributed to the specificity.
