We introduce low-cost, tunable, hybrid SERS substrate of commercial gold nanoparticles on untreated aluminum foil (AuNPs@AlF). Two or three AuNP centrifugation/resuspension cycles are proven to be critical in the assay preparation. The limits of detection (LODs) for 4-nitrobenzenethiol (NBT) and crystal violet (CV) on this substrate are about 0.12 nM and 0.19 nM, respectively, while maximum analytical SERS enhancement factors (AEFs) are about 107. In comparative assays LODs for CV measured on AuNPs@Au film and AuNPs@glass are about 0.35 nM and 2 nM, respectively. The LOD for melamine detected on AuNPs@ Al foil is 27 ppb with 3 orders of magnitude for linear response range. Overall, AuNPs@AlF demonstrated competitive performance in comparison with AuNPs@ Au film substrate in SERS detection of CV, NBT, and melamine. To check the versatility of the AuNPs@AlF substrate we also detected KNO3 with LODs of 0.7 mM and SERS EF around 2 × 103, which is on the same order with SERS EF reported for this compound in the literature.

Gold nanoparticles (5 nm and 20 nm) have been synthesized and stabilized with mercaptoundecanol. These particles, although insoluble in water or common organic solvents, spread as a thin film at the liquid–liquid interface between a water phase and an organic phase. Films of these gold nanoparticles have been observed both by conventional transmission electron microscopy of deposited samples and by cryo-transmission electron microscopy of plunge-frozen samples. The film can be monolayered and extend over centimeter-sized areas. The particle films spontaneously re-assemble and self-organize at the interface when disrupted. This self-healing capacity of the film should make it possible to build a device for continuous production and deposition of the film.

In this paper, we fabricated the 4-aminobenzenethiol modified gold nanoparticles onto polymer spheres as SERS substrate to selectively detect 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosives. The gold nanoseeds were fixed on polymer surface by reduction of HAuCl4·3H2O with sodium citrate. About 60~100nm nanoparticles were formed from the previous seeds and self-assembled by 4-aminobenzenethiol. The functionalized gold nanopartilces aggregation coated on large polymer sphere surface not only absorbed more TNT molecules via conjugation system, but also generated numerous "hot spots". It was demonstrated that this substrate displayed high SERS activity for TNT detection. It could also be anticipated that the aforementioned material would be used for fast and sensitive SERS detection of TNT in real-world situation. Keywords: gold nanopartilces, SERS, TNT, functionalization
