A new colorimetric detection of methylmercury (CH3Hg+) was developed, which was based on the surface deposition of Hg enhancing the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs were functionalized with a specific DNA strand (HT7) recognizing CH3Hg+, which was used to capture and separate CH3Hg+ by centrifugation. It was found that the CH3Hg+ reduction resulted in the deposition of Hg onto the surface of AuNPs. As a result, the catalytic activity of the AuNPs toward the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 was remarkably enhanced. Under optimal conditions, a limit of detection of 5.0 nM was obtained for CH3Hg+ with a linear range of 10–200 nM. We demonstrated that the colorimetric method was fairly simple with a low cost and can be conveniently applied to CH3Hg+ detection in environmental samples.

We propose the use of gold nanoparticles grown on the surface of nanoporous TiO2 films as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors for the detection of 17β-estradiol. Gold deposition on top of a TiO2 surface leads to the formation of nanoparticles the plasmonic properties of which fulfil the requirements of a SERS sensor. The morphological and optical properties of the surface were investigated. Specifically, we demonstrate that the TiO2 background pressure during pulsed laser deposition and the annealing conditions offer control over the formation of Au nanoparticles with different sizes, shapes and distributions, yielding a versatile sensor. We have exploited the surface for the detection of 17β-estradiol, an emerging contaminant in environmental waters. We have found a limit of detection of 1 nM with a sensitivity allowing for a dynamic range of five orders of magnitude (up to 100 µM).

We propose the use of gold nanoparticles grown on the surface of nanoporous TiO2 films as Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) sensors for the detection of 17β-estradiol. Gold deposition on top of TiO2 surfaces leads to the formation of nanoparticles, which plasmonic properties fit the requirements of a SERS sensor well. The morphological and optical properties of this surface were investigated. Specifically, we demonstrated that the TiO2 background pressure during pulsed laser deposition and annealing conditions enabled the formation of a variety of Au nanoparticles with controlled size, shape and distribution thus resulting in a versatile sensor. We have exploited this surface for the detection of 17β-estradiol, an emerging contaminant in environmental waters. We have found a limit of detection of 10 nM with a sensitivity allowing dynamic range of five orders of magnitude (up to 100 µM).
