Wafer-scale silver nanodendrites with homogeneous distribution of gold nanoparticles for biomolecules detection

ABSTRACT: Summary We report the fabrication and demonstrate the superior performance of robust, cost-effective, and biocompatible hierarchical Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) decorated Ag nanodendrites (AgNDs) on a Silicon platform for the trace-level detection of antibiotics (penicillin, kanamycin, and ampicillin) and DNA bases (adenine, cytosine). The hot-spot density dependence studies were explored by varying the AuNPs deposition time. These substrates’ potential and versatility were explored further through the detection of crystal violet, ammonium nitrate, and thiram. The calculated limits of detection for CV, adenine, cytosine, penicillin G, kanamycin, ampicillin, AN, and thiram were 348 pM, 2, 28, 2, 56, 4, 5, and 2 nM, respectively. The analytical enhancement factors were estimated to be ∼107 for CV, ∼106 for the biomolecules, ∼106 for the explosive molecule, and ∼106 for thiram. Furthermore, the stability of these substrates at different time intervals is being reported here with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy/scattering (SERS) data obtained over 120 days.

Graphene-Inspired Wafer-Scale Ultrathin Gold Films.

Project description:As the trajectory toward the graphene era continues, there is a compelling need to harness 2D technology further for the transformation of three-dimensional (3D) materials production and applications. Here, we resolve this challenge for one of the most widely utilized 3D materials in modern electronics─gold─using graphene-inspired fabrication technology that allows us to develop a multistep production method of ultrathin gold films. Such films demonstrate continuous morphology, low sheet resistance (10 Ω/sq), and high transparency (80%), offering opportunities in a variety of technological and scientific sectors. To this end, we demonstrate smart contact lenses and thermal camouflage based on ultrathin gold. Technologically, the record-breaking characteristics of ultrathin gold films open new horizons for flexible and transparent electrodes for photonics and optoelectronics. Most importantly, the demonstration of transferable wafer-scale ultrathin gold changes the paradigm of the field of 2D crystals and dramatically expands the range of available quasi-2D materials.

Morphological Evolution of Gold Nanoparticles into Nanodendrites Using Catechol-Grafted Polymer Templates.

Project description:Morphology, dimension, size, and surface chemistry of gold nanoparticles are critically important in determining their optical, catalytic, and photothermal properties. Although many techniques have been developed to synthesize various gold nanostructures, complicated and multistep procedures are required to generate three-dimensional, dendritic gold nanostructures. Here, we present a simple method to synthesize highly branched gold nanodendrites through the well-controlled reduction of gold ions complexed with a catechol-grafted polymer. Dextran grafted with catechols guides the morphological evolution as a polymeric ligand to generate dendritic gold structures through the interconnection of the spherical gold nanoparticles. The reduction kinetics, which is critical for morphological changes, is controllable using dimethylacetamide, which can decrease the metal-ligand dissociation and gold ion diffusivity. This study suggests that mussel-inspired polymer chemistry provides a simple one-pot synthetic route to colloidal gold nanodendrites that are potentially applicable to biosensing and catalysis.

Regioselective Localization and Tracking of Biomolecules on Single Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Selective localization of biomolecules at the hot spots of a plasmonic nanoparticle is an attractive strategy to exploit the light-matter interaction due to the high field concentration. Current approaches for hot spot targeting are time-consuming and involve prior knowledge of the hot spots. Multiphoton plasmonic lithography is employed to rapidly immobilize bovine serum albumin (BSA) hydrogel at the hot spot tips of a single gold nanotriangle (AuNT). Regioselectivity and quantity control by manipulating the polarization and intensity of the incident laser are also established. Single AuNTs are tracked using dark-field scattering spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to characterize the regioselective process. Fluorescence lifetime measurements further confirm BSA immobilization on the AuNTs. Here, the AuNT-BSA hydrogel complexes, in conjunction with single-particle optical monitoring, can act as a framework for understanding light-molecule interactions at the subnanoparticle level and has potential applications in biophotonics, nanomedicine, and life sciences.

Electrostatic enhanced terahertz metamaterial biosensing via gold nanoparticles integrated with biomolecules.

Project description:Terahertz spectroscopy has drawn great interest for the detection and characterization of biological matter, but its limited sensitivity to biomolecules with weak changes in dielectric properties with varying concentration has hinders potential bio-sensing applications. Here, a novel terahertz sensor was developed for enhancing the ability to detect biomolecules based on two electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) metamaterials coupled with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) integrated with biomolecules. The electrostatic interaction between AuNPs and positively charged biomolecules generates localized field enhancement at the biomolecule-metamaterial interface, resulting in a threefold increase in sensitivity for positively charged histidine that exhibit weak dielectric property changes with varying concentration. As a contrast, glucose shows a weaker effect due to its electrostatically neutral nature. Experimental studies reveal that by evaluating the modulation depth (MD) and modulation enhancement (ME) factors of the transmission peak for histidine and glucose in the presence of AuNPs, we achieve and enhance intuitive detection and discrimination of these biomolecules. Additionally, a two-EIT metamaterial with a 1 × 2 pixel array enables multiparameter imaging, visualizing the concentration and spatial distribution of biomolecules. Our results not only significantly improve the response sensitivity of biomolecules with weak dielectric properties in the terahertz domain, but also provide a new idea for developing high-sensitivity functionalized terahertz biosensors and advancing multi-biomolecular analysis and imaging techniques.

Wafer-Scale LSPR Substrate: Oblique Deposition of Gold on a Patterned Sapphire Substrate.

Project description:Label-free detection of biomolecules using localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) substrates is a highly attractive method for point-of-care (POC) testing. One of the remaining challenges to developing LSPR-based POC devices is to fabricate the LSPR substrates with large-scale, reproducible, and high-throughput. Herein, a fabrication strategy for wafer-scale LSPR substrates is demonstrated using reproducible, high-throughput techniques, such as nanoimprint lithography, wet-etching, and thin film deposition. A transparent sapphire wafer, on which SiO2-nanodot hard masks were formed via nanoimprint lithography, was anisotropically etched by a mixed solution of H2SO4 and H3PO4, resulting in a patterned sapphire substrate (PSS). An LSPR substrate was finally fabricated by oblique deposition of Au onto the PSS, which was then applied to label-free detection of the binding events of biomolecules. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first report on the application of the PSS used as an LSPR template by obliquely depositing a metal.

Targeted color design of silver-gold alloy nanoparticles.

Project description:This research article focuses on the targeted color design of silver-gold alloy nanoparticles (NPs), employing a multivariate optimization approach. NP synthesis involves interconnected process parameters, making independent variation challenging. Data-based property-process relationships are established to optimize optical properties effectively. We define a color target, employ a green chemical co-reduction method at room temperature and optimize process parameters accordingly. The CIEL*a*b* color space (Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage - International Commission on Illumination) and Euclidean distances facilitate accurate color matching to establish the property-process relationship. Concurrently, theoretical Mie calculations explore the structure-property relationship across particle sizes, concentrations, and molar gold contents. The theoretically optimal structure agrees very well with experimental particle structures at the property-process relationship's optimum. The data-driven property-process relationship provides valuable insights into the formation mechanism of a complex particle system, sheds light on the role of relevant process parameters and allows to evaluate the practically available property space. Model validation beyond the original grid demonstrates its robustness, yielding colors close to the target. Additionally, Design of Experiments (DoE) methods reduce experimental work by threefold with slight accuracy trade-offs. Our novel methodology for targeted color design demonstrates how data-based methods can be utilized alongside structure-property relationships to unravel property-process relationships in the design of complex nanoparticle systems and paves the way for future developments in targeted property design.

Impressively Printing Patterns of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles

Project description:The optical and chemical properties of gold and silver nanoparticles make them useful for many applications, including surface enhanced spectroscopy-based biosensors, photostable colorants, enhanced photovoltaics, and nanoscale optical elements. We report a simple technique to generate patterns of gold and silver nanoparticles with controlled shape and shape-dependent optical properties using metal stamps to impress them onto a glass substrate or flexible polymers. The pressure flattens the nanoparticles, converting initially spherical nanoparticles into discs with reduced height and increased diameter. This deformation causes their localized surface plasmon resonance wavelength to red-shift. Nanoparticles were characterized by electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and dark field optical scattering spectroscopy. The deformed nanoparticle patterns had a lateral resolution limited by the nanoparticle diameter (single particles are partly flattened only where they contact the stamp). The method also (i) transfers the stamp’s topography, with smooth stamps generating flattened nanoparticles with uniform height, and small changes in stamp height are evident in the nanoparticle height and scattering wavelength, and (ii) allows facile removal of undeformed nanoparticles using scotch tape, and patterns of deformed nanoparticles can be transferred to a thin polymer-film. The patterning process is simple and inexpensive. It can be performed by hand for demonstrations or artistic applications, with controlled force for plasmonics research, and potentially automated on reel-to-reel presses for large scale production. Graphical Abstract When plasmonic gold and silver nanoparticles are pressed onto a flat surface with a stamp, they flatten into disc shapes and their scattering spectrum red-shifts, generating controllable patterns of nanoparticles with altered shape and optical properties.

Bio-distribution and bio-availability of silver and gold in rat tissues with silver/gold nanorod administration.

Project description:Along with the increasing applications of nanomaterials in medical fields, to know the systemic distribution of nanomaterials in the body through a precise method is required for the biosafety assessment of nanomaterials. In this study, we firstly have established a reliable inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for concentration measurement of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) in biological tissues. Then, based on this method, the Ag or Au distribution in rat blood and almost all of the organs were analyzed after an i.v. or s.c. administration of Au@Ag NRs. Both the time-dependent contents of Ag and Au in blood and two pharmacokinetic models confirmed the rapid clearance of Ag from blood. At 24 h after i.v. injection, there was the highest level of Ag in liver, followed by portal nodes, spleen, lung, bone marrow and pancreas. In addition, we also found there were gender-related distributions of Ag and Au in some organs, especially after s.c. injection. Therefore, these more comprehensive and important results would give fundamental information for the biological risk assessment of nanomaterials.
