60-nt DNA Direct Detection without Pretreatment by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering with Polycationic Modified Ag Microcrystal Derived from AgCl Cube.

ABSTRACT: Direct detection of long-strand DNA by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a valuable method for diagnosis of hereditary diseases, but it is currently limited to less than 25-nt DNA strand in pure water, which makes this approach unsuitable for many real-life applications. Here, we report a 60-nt DNA label-free detection strategy without pretreatment by SERS with polyquaternium-modified Ag microcrystals derived from an AgCl cube. Through the reduction-induced decomposition, the size of the about 3 × 3 × 3 μm³ AgCl cube is reduced to Ag, and the surface is distributed with the uniform size of 63 nm silver nanoparticles, providing a large area of a robust and highly electromagnetic enhancement region. The modified polycationic molecule enhances the non-specific electrostatic interaction with the phosphate group, thereby anchoring DNA strands firmly to the SERS enhanced region intactly. As a result, the single-base recognition ability of this strategy reaches 60-nt and is successfully applied to detect thalassemia-related mutation genes.

Raman scattering of linear chains of strongly coupled Ag nanoparticles on SWCNTs.

Project description:We compare the Raman scattering properties of hybrid nanostructures consisting of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) in disordered and aligned arrangements on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as a result of chemical and photoreduction methods. In the latter case, the unique structure of the very small Ag NP (from 4 to 7 nm) chains generated an extremely large mode at 969 cm(-1) that was assigned to the sulphate-silver interaction at the NP surface. Another strong mode was present at 1201 cm(-1) and was assigned to an IR-active mode of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS); this mode was observed because the symmetry changes altered the selection rules. We demonstrate that both the UV photoreduction of silver and the presence of SWCNTs are necessary to produce this very strong Raman scattering. The Raman modes of the SWCNTs are also significantly modified by the presence of Ag NP chains along the nanotubes.

3D ZnO/Ag Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering on Disposable and Flexible Cardboard Platforms

Project description:In the present study, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) with a hexagonal structure have been synthesized via a hydrothermal method assisted by microwave radiation, using specialized cardboard materials as substrates. Cardboard-type substrates are cost-efficient and robust paper-based platforms that can be integrated into several opto-electronic applications for medical diagnostics, analysis and/or quality control devices. This class of substrates also enables highly-sensitive Raman molecular detection, amiable to several different operational environments and target surfaces. The structural characterization of the ZnO NR arrays has been carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical measurements. The effects of the synthesis time (5–30 min) and temperature (70–130 °C) of the ZnO NR arrays decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been investigated in view of their application for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) molecular detection. The size and density of the ZnO NRs, as well as those of the AgNPs, are shown to play a central role in the final SERS response. A Raman enhancement factor of 7 × 105 was obtained using rhodamine 6 G (R6G) as the test analyte; a ZnO NR array was produced for only 5 min at 70 °C. This condition presents higher ZnO NR and AgNP densities, thereby increasing the total number of plasmonic “hot-spots”, their volume coverage and the number of analyte molecules that are subject to enhanced sensing.

Tuning interior nanogaps of double-shelled Au/Ag nanoboxes for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

Project description:Double-shelled Au/Ag hollow nanoboxes with precisely controlled interior nanogaps (1 to 16?nm) were synthesized for gap-tunable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The double-shelled nanoboxes were prepared via a two-step galvanic replacement reaction approach using Ag nanocubes as the templates, while 4-aminothiolphenol (4-ATP) as SERS probe molecules were loaded between the two shells. More than 10-fold enhancement of SERS is observed from the double-shelled nanoboxes than Ag nanocubes. In addition, the SERS of the double-shelled nanoboxes increase significantly with the decrease of gap size, consistent with the theoretical prediction that smaller gap size induces larger localized electromagnetic enhancement.

Investigation of the AgCl Formation Mechanism on the Ag Wire Surface for the Fabrication of a Marine Low-Frequency-Electric-Field-Detection Ag/AgCl Sensor Electrode.

Project description:One of the most widely used electric field sensors for low-frequency electric field detection (LFEFD) in seawater uses the Ag/AgCl electrode. The surface structure of the electrode including AgCl layers plays a critical role in the electrode's electrochemical performance required for the sensor. In this study, the sequential AgCl formation process under the constant current was examined on the Ag wire in an electrode size for actual applications, and an optimal electrode surface structure was suggested for the LFEFD Ag/AgCl sensor. Upon mild anodization (0.2 mA/cm2) in 3.3 M KCl solution that permits us to follow the AgCl formation process manageably, Ag dissolution from the wire surface begins leaving cavities on the surface, with the accompanied growth of initial Ag grains. During this period, AgCl deposits in sizes of about several micrometers to 10 μm with crystal planes also form primarily along scratch lines on the wire surface, but in a partial scale. Then, with further anodization, the assumed thin AgCl deposits start to form, covering a large portion of the wire surface. They grow to become deposits in sizes of about several micrometers to 10 μm with no clear facet planes next to one another and are connected to form the network structure, representing the main developing mode of the AgCl deposits. While they cover all the surface, AgCl deposits also form on the surface of the already formed ones, making multiple AgCl layers. All these deposits develop through the nucleation process with a relatively high surface energy barrier, and their formation rate is solely controlled by the release rate of Ag+ from the wire, thus by the applied current magnitude. The Ag/AgCl electrode with a thick AgCl layer and many holes in the AgCl surface structure like microchannels is considered to work effectively for the LFEFD sensor in terms of both detection sensitivity and service lifetime.

Molecular Tilting Alignment on Ag@C Nanocubes Monitored by Temperature-Dependent Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering.

Project description:Core@shell Ag@C nanocubes (NCs) with a cubic silver core (~60?nm of side length) and a coating of ultrathin amorphous carbon (~4?nm) have been synthesized on a large scale by a one-pot hydrothermal method. The carbon layer not only protects the Ag@C nanocubes from oxidation under hydrothermal condition, but also stabilizes the structure of Ag cores. Considering that optical properties of nanostructured metals strongly depend on the temperature for SERS measurement, in this work we systemically investigate the relationship between the orientation of molecules adsorbed on Ag@C NCs and temperature by SERS spectra. Results suggest that the adsorbed 4-MBA molecules prefer a flat orientation on the NC surface with temperature decreasing. In addition, Ag@C NCs after one-year storage in water still maintain high SERS-active capability. Our synthesized Ag@C NCs with excellent and stable optical properties can be potentially applied in the field of sensor and ultrasensitive spectral analysis.

In situ fabrication of 3D Ag@ZnO nanostructures for microfluidic surface-enhanced Raman scattering systems.

Project description:In this work, we develop an in situ method to grow highly controllable, sensitive, three-dimensional (3D) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates via an optothermal effect within microfluidic devices. Implementing this approach, we fabricate SERS substrates composed of Ag@ZnO structures at prescribed locations inside microfluidic channels, sites within which current fabrication of SERS structures has been arduous. Conveniently, properties of the 3D Ag@ZnO nanostructures such as length, packing density, and coverage can also be adjusted by tuning laser irradiation parameters. After exploring the fabrication of the 3D nanostructures, we demonstrate a SERS enhancement factor of up to ?2×10(6) and investigate the optical properties of the 3D Ag@ZnO structures through finite-difference time-domain simulations. To illustrate the potential value of our technique, low concentrations of biomolecules in the liquid state are detected. Moreover, an integrated cell-trapping function of the 3D Ag@ZnO structures records the surface chemical fingerprint of a living cell. Overall, our optothermal-effect-based fabrication technique offers an effective combination of microfluidics with SERS, resolving problems associated with the fabrication of SERS substrates in microfluidic channels. With its advantages in functionality, simplicity, and sensitivity, the microfluidic-SERS platform presented should be valuable in many biological, biochemical, and biomedical applications.

Ag@Au core-shell dendrites: a stable, reusable and sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate.

Project description:Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on fabricated Ag@Au core-shell dendrite was achieved. Ag dendrites were grown on Si wafer by the hydrothermal corrosion method and Au nanofilm on the surface of Ag dendritic nanostructure was then fabricated by chemical reduction. With the help of sodium borohydride in water, Au surface absorbates such as thiophene, adenine, rhodamine, small anions (Br(-) and I(-)), and a polymer (PVP, poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)) can be completely and rapidly removed. After four repeatable experiments, the substrate SERS function did not decrease at all, indicating that the Ag@Au dendrite should be of great significance to SERS application because it can save much resource. Six-month-duration stability tests showed that the Ag@Au core-shell dendrite substrate is much more stable than the Ag dendrite substrates. We have also experimented on fast detection of Cd(2+) at 10(-8) M concentration by decorating single-stranded DNA containing adenine and guanine bases on the surface of this Ag@Au dendrite. Finite-difference time-domain simulations were carried out to investigate the influence of Au nanolayer on Ag dendrites, which showed that the local electric fields and enhancement factor are hardly affected when a 4 nm Au nanolayer is coated on Ag dendrite surface.

Seed-Mediated Growth of Ag@Au Nanodisks with Improved Chemical Stability and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering.

Project description:Bimetallic Ag@Au nanoparticles (NPs) have received significant research interest because of their unique optical properties and molecular sensing ability through surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). However, the synthesis of Ag@Au core-shell plasmonic nanostructures with precisely controlled size and shape remained a great challenge. Here, we report a simple approach for the synthesis of bimetallic Ag@Au nanodisks of about 13.5 nm thickness and different diameters through a seed-mediated growth process. The synthesis involves the conformal deposition of Au atoms at the corner sites of Ag nanoplate (AgNPL) seeds coupled with site-selective oxidative etching of AgNPL edges to generate Ag@Au nanodisks. The resultant Ag@Au nanodisks manifest significantly improved chemical stability and tunable localized surface plasmon resonance from the visible to the near-infrared spectral range. Moreover, in comparison to AgNPLs, the Ag@Au nanodisks showed greatly enhanced SERS performance with an enhancement factor up to 0.47 × 105, which is nearly 3-fold higher than that of the original AgNPLs (0.18 × 105). Furthermore, the Ag@Au nanodisks show a high sensitivity for detecting probe molecules such as crystal violet of concentration as low as 10-9 M and excellent reproducibility, with the SERS intensity fluctuation less than 12.5%. The synthesis route adapted for the controlled fabrication of Ag@Au nanodisks can be a potential platform for maneuvering other bimetallic plasmonic nanostructures useful for plasmonics and sensing applications.

Use of Single-Layer g-C3N4/Ag Hybrids for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS).

Project description:Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with high activity and stability are desirable for SERS sensing. Here, we report a new single atomic layer graphitic-C3N4 (S-g-C3N4) and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) hybrid as high-performance SERS substrates. The SERS mechanism of the highly stable S-g-C3N4/Ag substrates was systematically investigated by a combination of experiments and theoretical calculations. From the results of XPS and Raman spectroscopies, it was found that there was a strong interaction between S-g-C3N4 and Ag NPs, which facilitates the uniform distribution of Ag NPs over the edges and surfaces of S-g-C3N4 nanosheets, and induces a charge transfer from S-g-C3N4 to the oxidizing agent through the silver surface, ultimately protecting Ag NPs from oxidation. Based on the theoretical calculations, we found that the net surface charge of the Ag atoms on the S-g-C3N4/Ag substrates was positive and the Ag NPs presented high dispersibility, suggesting that the Ag atoms on the S-g-C3N4/Ag substrates were not likely to be oxidized, thereby ensuring the high stability of the S-g-C3N4/Ag substrate. An understanding of the stability mechanism in this system can be helpful for developing other effective SERS substrates with long-term stability.

Facile Histamine Detection by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering using SiO<sub>2</sub>@Au@Ag Alloy Nanoparticles.

Project description:Histamine intoxication associated with seafood consumption represents a global health problem. The consumption of high concentrations of histamine can cause illnesses ranging from light symptoms, such as a prickling sensation, to death. In this study, gold-silver alloy-embedded silica (SiO2@Au@Ag) nanoparticles were created to detect histamine using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The optimal histamine SERS signal was measured following incubation with 125 μg/mL of SiO2@Au@Ag for 2 h, with a material-to-histamine solution volume ratio of 1:5 and a phosphate-buffered saline-Tween 20 (PBS-T) solvent at pH 7. The SERS intensity of the histamine increased proportionally with the increase in histamine concentration in the range 0.1-0.8 mM, with a limit of detection of 3.698 ppm. Our findings demonstrate the applicability of SERS using nanomaterials for histamine detection. In addition, this study demonstrates that nanoalloys could have a broad application in the future.
