This works strong the embossing as regards riches (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) regarding attenuate TiO2 films. Au (Au-TiO2) patterned flabby film TiO2. The morphology, cleanly structure, issue administration then optical homes concerning the films hold been studied. Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) are synthesized along the useful resource on lowering hydrated gold steel ions of touch together along aqueous sow dermis extract. The alternate among the elevation or assignment about Au NPs elevated the reply above the ethanol gas sensors. The organized Au-TiO2 was once tested, of assessment together with allusion TiO2 membranes, such then ethanol sensors at 250-350 ° C at a fuel attention of 50-1000 ppm. In addition, the SERS deep concerning the excised Au/ TiO2 emaciated movie is about iii cases that above the deposited Au/ TiO2 gaunt film. The results proven in imitation of so much aggregation Au-coated TiO2 at 6 s spray epoch gave the beneficial file on 514 at 350 ° C deed useless heat since 1000 ppm fuel concentration.

We present the application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy for the fast, sensitive and highly specific detection of the galectin-9 (Gal-9) protein in binding buffer (mimicking natural conditions). The method involves the use of specifically designed nanotags comprising glycan-decorated gold nanoparticles encoded with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid. At fast time scales Gal-9 can be detected down to a concentration of 1.2 nM by monitoring the SERS signal of the reporter, driven by aggregation of the functionalized Au NPs tags, induced by Gal-9 recognition. We additionally demonstrate that the sensitivity and concentration working range of the sensor can be tuned via control of aggregation dynamics and cluster size distribution.

A 3D surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on titanium oxide nanorods (TiOx-NRs) coated with gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) was fabricated by a simple hydrothermal, no-template process. The nanostructure of TiOx-NRs influenced by the concentrations of hydrochloric (HCl) acid and sodium chloride (NaCl) was studied in detail. The substrate showed the strongest Raman enhancement, when the diameters of Au-NPs were around 40 nm and the gaps of Au-NPs were in the range of 5 nm to 10 nm. The surface electric field of our substrate was examined by finite-different time-domain (FDTD) solutions. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) was chosen as the probe molecule to study the SERS performance of the substrates. The Raman signal of 10−10 M R6G was detected clearly by the substrate with the enhancement factor of 2.64 × 108. All relative standard deviation (RSD) values of the major peaks for R6G were within the scope of 10.4% to 16.7%. The substrate could work efficiently even after immersed in water for one month.
