Abstract
We developed a novel fabrication of flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to perform selective and sensitive determination of thiram residue in fruits and juices. Au nanostars (Au NSs) with multi-branching structure were self-assembled on aminated Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slides by electrostatic interaction. By measuring the Thiram's characteristic peak intensity at 1371 cm-1, the SERS method could distinguish Thiram from other pesticide residues. A good linear relationship between the peak intensity at 1371 cm-1 and thiram's concentration was established at the range from 0.01 ppm to 100 ppm and the Limit of detection is 0.0048 ppm. We directly used this SERS substrate to detect Thiram in apple juice. By standard addition method, recoveries varied in the range of 97.05% to 106.00% and the RSD were from 3.26% to 9.35%. The SERS substrate exhibited a good sensitivity, stability and selectively for the detection of Thiram in food samples, which can be spread as a common method for the detection of pesticides in food samples.

Convenient self-assembled PDADMAC/PSS/Au@Ag NRs filter paper for swift SERS evaluate of non-systemic pesticides on fruit and vegetable surfaces. Food Chem 2023; 424:136232. [PMID: 37207598 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
The goal of food safety supervision is to directly identify the pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables. This study proposed to develop a facile, non-destructive, and sensitive method based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to detect non-systemic pesticides on the surface of fruits and vegetables. The composite material was prepared by loading CTAB guided Au@Ag NRs with positive charge onto filter paper which was modified with PDADMAC(+) and PSS(-) using electrostatic adsorption. Au@Ag NRs with bimetallic synergies were effectively adsorbed in the fiber grid to generate 3D SERS hotspots within a few microns of depth. The results showed that the 3D composite flexible substrate had a high SERS activity, great repeatability, and sensitivity when the method was utilized to detect 4-MBA, methyl-parathion, thiram and chlorpyrifos. Three kinds of non-systemic pesticides on the peel could be detected directly and quickly owing to the arbitrary bending of the substrate, demonstrating the efficiency of the SERS "paste-reading" method. The acquired findings demonstrated that PDADMAC/PSS/Au@Ag NRs composite filter paper had the potential to provide rapid feedback for in-situ analysis of pesticide residues on the surface of fruit and vegetable.

Abstract
In this study, a HPTLC-platformed SERS detection was established for screening thiram in juice. After a simple extraction, the sample liquid was separated on HPTLC plates, which resulted in a specific zone for the analyte. Following infiltration with atomize water, the band of interest was easily scraped off and eluted. In parallel, a flexible and SERS-active substrate was fabricated by the in-situ synthesis of gold nanoparticles within cotton fabrics. Under optimized conditions, fingerprint-like signal at 1376 cm-1 of the analyte were easily recorded by a hand-held Raman spectrometer with enough LOD (0.5 mg/L), LOQ (0.9 mg/L) and reproducibility (<11.7%). The optimized screening system was further validated with pear, apple and mango juice by determining the spike-and-recovery rates (75.6 to 112.8%). It was demonstrated that this method could be a facile point-of-care testing system tailored for pesticide screening.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) self-assembled covalent organic frameworks (COFs) was fabricated via the electrostatic interaction between positively charged COFs and negatively charged AuNPs, which exhibited excellent SERS performance and were successfully applied for the analyses of malachite green (MG) residue in different seafood products as well as thiram residue in several kinds of fruit juice. The raspberry-like structure SERS substrate has a larger surface area that can provide more adsorption sites in testing and improve the efficiency of sample enrichment. By using this developed SERS substrate, the detection linearity ranges are 1.0 × 10-9 mol·L-1-1.0 × 10-6 mol·L-1 for MG and 5.0 × 10-8 mol·L-1-1.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1 for thiram (R2 ≥ 0.995). The detection limits are 6.2 × 10-10 mol·L-1 for MG and 1.7 × 10-8 mol·L-1 for thiram, respectively. The COF-AuNPs substrate was actually applied for analysis of MG in seafood products and thiram in different fruit juice, with the recoveries in the ranges of 94.67-108.99 % for MG and 95.00-107.58 % for thiram, and both of the relative standard deviation (RSD) are no more than 5.88 %. This work indicates that the developed COF-AuNPs substrate is promising for SERS analyses and detections of residues in foods.

Abstract
The surface plasmon in the composite composed of the noble metals and the semiconductors is interesting because of the various charges and the potential applications in many fields. Based on a highly ordered 2D polystyrene spheres array, the ordered composite nanocap arrays composed of TiO2 and Ag were prepared by the co-sputtering technique, and the surface morphology was tuned by changing TiO2 sputtering power. When TiO2 sputtering power was 60 W and Ag sputtering power was 10 W, the composite unit arrays showed the nanocap shapes decorated by many composite clusters around. The composite clusters led to the additional local coupling of the electromagnetic fields and significant Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) observations, which was also confirmed by the finite-different time-domain simulation. The SERS-active substrate composed of the composite nanocaps decorated by clusters realized the accurate detection of the thiram with concentrations down to 10-9 M.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel Au@AuAg yolk-shell heterogeneous nanostructure is designed as plasmonic spectroscopic sensor based on surface etching for ultrasensitive detection of trace cobalt ions (Co2+). Due to the surface diffusion of gold atoms, the Ag at one end of the core gold nanobipyramids (Au NBPs) is retained, and Au@AuAg yolk-shell nanostructure with asymmetric core is prepared. The alloy shell is coupled to Au NBPs and the interface of asymmetric Ag respectively, the two local surface plasmon resonance bands will have obvious reverse changes depending on the surface morphology of the shell. By using this distinct plasmon response generated by Co2+ induced surface etching, which is driven by discrepancy of double-peaks, a sensing method has been established to realize multi-information spectral detection of Co2+. There is a good linear relationship between the intensity ratio and the Co2+ concentration in the range of 1-100 nM, in which the limit of detection is 0.2 nM. This method further improves the sensing capability by combining multiple pieces of strongly changing spectral information, and demonstrates great advantages and potential of Au@AuAg yolk-shell heterogeneous nanostructure as a multi-information plasmonic sensor based on etched shell surface for trace detection.

Abstract
As the human population grows, the anthropogenic impacts from various agricultural and industrial processes produce unwanted contaminants in the environment. The accurate, sensitive and rapid detection of such contaminants is vital for human health and safety. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a valuable analytical tool with wide applications in environmental contaminant monitoring. The aim of this review is to summarize recent advancements within SERS research as it applies to environmental detection, with a focus on research published or accessible from January 2021 through December 2021 including early-access publications. Our goal is to provide a wide breadth of information that can be used to provide background knowledge of the field, as well as inform and encourage further development of SERS techniques in protecting environmental quality and safety. Specifically, we highlight the characteristics of effective SERS nanosubstrates, and explore methods for the SERS detection of inorganic, organic, and biological contaminants including heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, plastic particles, synthetic dyes, pesticides, viruses, bacteria and mycotoxins. We also discuss the current limitations of SERS technologies in environmental detection and propose several avenues for future investigation. We encourage researchers to fill in the identified gaps so that SERS can be implemented in a real-world environment more effectively and efficiently, ultimately providing reliable and timely data to help and make science-based strategies and policies to protect environmental safety and public health.
