Abstract
The worldwide abuse of illicit drugs led to severe consequences for human health, and society environment. Therefore, urgently required are effective and efficient on-site detection methods for illicit drugs of interest in various matrices, e.g., police samples, biofluids, and hairs. Although surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) shows power in many analytical fields, the cumbersome pretreatment of various matrices restricts its use in the easy-to-operate and on-site detection of illicit drugs. To address this problem, we adopted pore-size selectivity SERS-active hydrogel microbeads, whose meshes are adjustable to allow small molecules to access and to exclude large molecules. Meanwhile, Ag nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed and wrapped in the hydrogel matrix, providing excellent SERS performances with high sensitivity, reproducibility, and stability. By using these SERS hydrogel microbeads, one of the illicit drugs, methamphetamine (MAMP), can be rapidly and reliably detected in various biological specimens (blood, saliva, and hair) without sample pretreatment. The minimum detectable concentration is 0.1 ppm for MAMP in three biological specimens with a linear range of 0.1-100 ppm, which is lower than the maximum allowable level of 0.5 ppm set by the department of the health and human service. The SERS detection results were consistent with the gas chromatographic (GC) data. Thanks to its operational simplicity, fast response, high throughput and low cost, our established SERS hydrogel microbeads can be used as a sensing platform for facile analysis of illicit drugs through simultaneous separation, preconcentration, and optical detection, which shall be provided practically for front-line narcotics squad and resistance to the overwhelmed drug abuses.

Abstract
Many countries have legalized cannabis and its derived products for multiple purposes. Consequently, it has become necessary to develop a rapid, effective, and reliable tool for detecting delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBN), which are important biologically active compounds in cannabis. Herein, we have fabricated SERS chips by using glancing angle deposition and tuned dimensions of silver nanorods (AgNRs) for detecting THC and CBN at low concentrations. Experimental and computational results showed that the AgNR substrate with film thickness (or nanorod length) of 150 nm, corresponding to nanorod diameter of 79 nm and gap between nanorods of 23 nm, can effectively sense trace THC and CBN with good reproducibility and sensitivity. Due to limited spectral studies of the cannabinoids in previous reports, this work also explored towards identifying characteristic Raman lines of THC and CBN. This information is critical to further reliable data analysis and interpretation. Moreover, multianalyte detection of THC and CBN in a mixture was successfully demonstrated by applying an open-source independent component analysis (ICA) model. The overall method is fast, sensitive, and reliable for sensing trace THC and CBN. The SERS chip-based method and spectral results here are useful for a variety of cannabis testing applications, such as product screening and forensic investigation.

Abstract
Various methods for detecting malaria have been developed in recent years, each with its own set of advantages. These methods include microscopic, antigen-based, and molecular-based analysis of blood samples. This study aimed to develop a new, alternative procedure for clinical use by using a large data set of surface-enhanced Raman spectra to distinguish normal and infected red blood cells. PCA-LDA algorithms were used to produce models for separating P. falciparum (3D7)-infected red blood cells and normal red blood cells based on their Raman spectra. Both average normalized spectra and spectral imaging were considered. However, these initial spectra could hardly differentiate normal cells from the infected cells. Then, discrimination analysis was applied to assist in the classification and visualization of the different spectral data sets. The results showed a clear separation in the PCA-LDA coordinate. A blind test was also carried out to evaluate the efficiency of the PCA-LDA separation model and achieved a prediction accuracy of up to 80%. Considering that the PCA-LDA separation accuracy will improve when a larger set of training data is incorporated into the existing database, the proposed method could be highly effective for the identification of malaria-infected red blood cells.

Abstract
Hafnium oxide (HfO2) films on silicon have the potential for application in photovoltaic devices. However, very little is known about the photoelectrochemical and protective properties of HfO2 films on Si. In this study, ultrathin films of HfO2 in the range of 15–70 nm were deposited on p-Si and Au substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GI-XRD) identified the amorphous structure of the layers. Quartz crystal nanogravimetry (QCN) with Si and Au substrates indicated dynamics of electrolyte intake into the oxide film. No indications of oxide dissolution have been observed in acid (pH 3) and alkaline (pH 12) electrolytes. Mott–Schottky plots showed that the dark Si surface adjacent to the SiHfO2 interface is positively charged in an acid electrolyte and negatively charged in an alkaline electrolyte. The number of photoelectrons was determined to be much greater than the doping level of silicon. The cathodic photoactivity of the p-Si electrode protected by HfO2 films was studied with respect to the reaction of hydrogen reduction in acid and alkaline solutions. In acid solution, the film enhanced the reduction process when compared to that on the coating free electrode. The acceleration effect was explained in terms of prevention of silicon oxide formation, whose passivating capability is higher than that of hafnia films. In an alkaline electrolyte, an inhibition effect of the film was determined. Hafnia films protected Si from corrosion in this medium; however, at the same time, the film reduced electrode activity.

Abstract
In food safety assessment, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a novel detection method with the advantages of being fast, easy, and of high sensitivity. However, many SERS substrate synthesis methods are complex, and there are only a few studies on the simultaneous detection of multiple substances. In this study, a new, simple, low-cost SERS substrate was synthesised for the first time to simultaneously detect illegal food additives rhodamine B and basic orange II in chilli products. A lightweight, porous, and low-cost material of melamine foam (MF) was employed as the SERS synthesis template. The substrate's SERS effect on, and sensitivity to, rhodamine B and basic orange II were demonstrated. The molecular vibration and SERS enhancement mechanisms of the two target molecules were analysed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results reveal that this fabricated substrate has great application potential for the supervision and testing industry.

Non-Destructive Trace Detection of Explosives Using Pushbroom Scanning Hyperspectral Imaging System. SENSORS 2018; 19:s19010097.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of the non-destructive hyperspectral imaging system (HSI) and accuracy of the model developed using Support Vector Machine (SVM) for determining trace detection of explosives. Raman spectroscopy has been used in similar studies, but no study has been published which is based on measurement of reflectance from hyperspectral sensor for trace detection of explosives. HSI used in this study has an advantage over existing techniques due to its combination of imaging system and spectroscopy, along with being contactless and non-destructive in nature. Hyperspectral images of the chemical were collected using the BaySpec hyperspectral sensor which operated in the spectral range of 400–1000 nm (144 bands). Image processing was applied on the acquired hyperspectral image to select the region of interest (ROI) and to extract the spectral reflectance of the chemicals which were stored as spectral library. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and first derivative was applied to reduce the high dimensionality of the image and to determine the optimal wavelengths between 400 and 1000 nm. In total, 22 out of 144 wavelengths were selected by analysing the loadings of principal components (PC). SVM was used to develop the classification model. SVM model established on the whole spectrum from 400 to 1000 nm achieved an accuracy of 81.11%, whereas an accuracy of 77.17% with less computational load was achieved when SVM model was established on the optimal wavelengths selected. The results of the study demonstrate that the hyperspectral imaging system along with SVM is a promising tool for trace detection of explosives.

Abstract
Trace detection of explosives has been an ongoing challenge for decades and has become one of several critical problems in defense science; public safety; and global counter-terrorism. As a result, there is a growing interest in employing a wide variety of approaches to detect trace explosive residues. Spectroscopy-based techniques play an irreplaceable role for the detection of energetic substances due to the advantages of rapid, automatic, and non-contact. The present work provides a comprehensive review of the advances made over the past few years in the fields of the applications of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy; laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), Raman spectroscopy; and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) for trace explosives detection. Furthermore, the advantages and limitations of various spectroscopy-based detection techniques are summarized. Finally, the future development for the detection of explosives is discussed.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a selective detection system scarcely applied for the flow analysis of solutions with the aim of detecting several compounds at once without a previous separation step. This work explores the potential of a portable Raman system in a flow system for the selective detection of a mixture of seven oxyanions (carbonate, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, chlorate, perchlorate, and thiosulphate). The specific bands of these compounds (symmetric stretching Raman active vibrations of carbonate at 1068 cm−1, nitrate at 1049 cm−1, thiosulphate at 998 cm−1, phosphate at 989 cm−1, sulphate at 982 cm−1, perchlorate at 935 cm−1, and chlorate at 932 cm−1) enabled their simultaneous detection in mixtures. Although the oxyanions’ limit of detection (LOD) was rather poor (in the millimolar range), this extremely simple system is very useful for the single-measurement detection of most of the oxyanions in mixtures, without requiring a previous separation step. In addition, quantitative determination of the desired oxyanion can be performed by means of the corresponding calibration line. These are important advantages for controlling in-line processes in industries like those manufacturing fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or food, among others.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful analytical tool which enables the detection and identification of analytes adsorbed on nanostructured noble metals. However, SERS analysis of complex mixtures can be challenging due to spectral overlap and interference. In this report, we demonstrate a method to simplify the identification of mixed-analyte samples by coupling SERS detection with chromatographic separation on a nanoplasmonic paper substrate. This "nanopaper" substrate is a silver coated glass microfiber filter paper which possesses large SERS enhancement and can serve as a stationary phase in paper chromatography. Nanopaper is easily synthesized using the silver mirror reaction, making it a highly accessible technology. Nanopaper was successfully used as a combined paper chromatography-SERS (PC-SERS) substrate in the separation and identification of mixed organic dyes. It was further employed to separate and identify lycopene and β-carotene in commercial food products, demonstrating the versatility and utility of nanopaper in the identification of complex mixtures.

Abstract
Nanostructures have been multiplying the advantages of Raman spectroscopy and further amplify the advantages of Raman spectroscopy is a continuous effort focused on the appropriate design of nanostructures. Herein, we designed different shapes of plasmonic nanostructures such as Vertical, Zig Zag, Slant nanorods and Spherical nanoparticles employing the DC magnetron sputtering system as SERS-active substrates for ultrasensitive detection of target molecules. The fabricated plasmonic nanostructures sensitivity and uniformity were exploited by reference dye analyte. These nanostructures were utilized in the label free detection of infectious disease, Tuberculosis (TB). For the first time, TB detection from serum samples using SERS has been demonstrated. Various multivariate statistical methods such as principal component analysis, support vector machine, decision tree and random forest were developed and tested their ability to discriminate the healthy and active TB samples. The results demonstrate the performance of the SERS spectra, chemometric methods and potential of the method in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Acts of terror and warfare threats are challenging tasks for defense agencies around the world and of growing importance to security conscious policy makers and the general public. Explosives and chemical warfare agents are two of the major concerns in this context, as illustrated by the recent Boston Marathon bombing and nerve gas attacks on civilians in the Middle East. To prevent such tragic disasters, security personnel must be able to find, identify and deactivate the threats at multiple locations and levels. This involves major technical and practical challenges, such as detection of ultra-low quantities of hazardous compounds at remote locations for anti-terror purposes and monitoring of environmental sanitation of dumped or left behind toxic substances and explosives. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is one of todays most interesting and rapidly developing methods for label-free ultrasensitive vibrational "fingerprinting" of a variety of molecular compounds. Performance highlights include attomolar detection of TNT and DNT explosives, a sensitivity that few, if any, other technique can compete with. Moreover, instrumentation needed for SERS analysis are becoming progressively better, smaller and cheaper, and can today be acquired for a retail price close to 10,000 US$. This contribution aims to give a comprehensive overview of SERS as a technique for detection of explosives and chemical threats. We discuss the prospects of SERS becoming a major tool for convenient in-situ threat identification and we summarize existing SERS detection methods and substrates with particular focus on ultra-sensitive real-time detection. General concepts, detection capabilities and perspectives are discussed in order to guide potential users of the technique for homeland security and anti-warfare purposes.
