Portable electrochemical sensors based on noble metal nanoparticles (МеNPs) for the quantitative determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and sulfur-containing amino acids (cysteine, methionine, glutathione) are discussed. These sensors have high sensitivity (pM), with low sample requirements (<50 μl). This article discusses methods for producing sensors based on silver and gold nanoparticles and their application in voltammetry. It is shown that the sensitivity of H2O2 determination on a sensor based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) depends on their size. Their size is determined by the reducing agent. Sensors based on AgNPs of spherical shape with the smallest size from 0.5 to 17.5 nm have the highest sensitivity for determining H2O2, but a narrow range of determined concentrations. Sensors on medium-sized AgNPs have optimal metrological characteristics. Their size is from 10 to 55 nm, less sensitive, but with a wide range of determined concentrations from 0.1 to 1 nm H2O2. The linearity of the range of glutathione concentrations is 1.0-10.0 pM. The linearity of the range of determined concentrations of methionine is 1–26 рМ.

Use of the noble metal nanoparticles in the surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) is a significant part the measurement. These nanoparticles are often used for SERRS measurements of silver nanoparticles prepared by reduction methods. From the literature it is obvious that the most popular methods of preparation of Ag nanoparticles are procedures which are using the chemical reduction and/or laser ablation. In this paper we discuss the comparison of SERRS spectra of water-soluble porphyrins (TTMAPP and TMPyP) in systems with Ag nanoparticles prepared by chemical reduction with sodium borohydride, sodium citrate and glucose. The comparison of different systems gives insight into the option of suitableility of using of nanoparticles with various surface ions in the production of different spectral forms of chosen porphyrins in dependence on their structures.

A promising way to improve the performance of luminescent materials is to combine them with noble metal nanoparticles. Herein, a set of silver/europium-doped lanthanum orthophosphate (Ag/La0.95Eu0.05PO4) nanostructures with different concentrations of silver nanoparticles were prepared and investigated. The presented overlap between the strongest europium (Eu3+) excitation line and the broad silver nanoparticle surface plasmon resonance makes the combination prospective for coupling. X-ray powder diffraction confirmed the monoclinic monazite structure. The transmission electron microscopy revealed particles with a rod-like shape and ~4 aspect ratio. Photoluminescence spectra show characteristic Eu3+ ion red emission. One of the requirements for an enhanced luminescence effect is the precise control of the distance between the noble metal nanoparticles and the emitter ion. The distance is indirectly varied throughout the change of Ag nanoparticle concentration in the La0.95Eu0.05PO4 host. The emission intensity increases with the increase in Ag nanoparticles up to 0.6 mol %, after which the luminescence decreases due to the nanoparticles’ close packing and aggregation leading to the displacement of La0.95Eu0.05PO4 from the vicinity of the metal particles and reabsorption of the emitted light. The emission intensity of La0.95Eu0.05PO4 increases more than three times when the Eu3+ excitation is supported by the localized surface plasmon resonance in the Ag/La0.95Eu0.05PO4 nanostructures.
