Enhanced Raman Scattering

The development of techniques that could be useful in fields other than biological warfare agents countermeasures such as medical diagnostics, industrial microbiology, and environmental applications have become a very important subject of research. Raman spectroscopy can be used in near field or at long distances from the sample to obtain fingerprinting information of chemical composition of microorganisms. In this research, biochemical components of the cell wall and endospores of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were identified by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy using silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) reduced by hydroxylamine and borohydride capped with sodium citrate. Activation of “hot spots”, aggregation and surface charge modification of the NPs, was studied and optimized to obtain signal enhancements from Bt by SERS. Slight aggregation of the NPs as well as surface charge modification to a more acidic ambient was induced using small-size borohydride-reduced NPs in the form of metallic suspensions aimed at increasing the Ag NP-Bt interactions. Hydroxylamine-reduced NPs required slight aggregation and no pH modifications in order to obtain high spectral quality results in bringing out SERS signatures of Bt.

Controlling the synthesis of metallic nanostructures for high quality surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) materials has long been a central task of nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this work, silver aggregates with different surface morphologies were controllably synthesized on a glass–solution interface via a facile laser-induced reduction method. By correlating the surface morphologies with their SERS abilities, optimal parameters (laser power and irradiation time) for SERS aggregates synthesis were obtained. Importantly, the characteristics for largest near-field enhancement were identified, which are closely packed nanorice and flake structures with abundant surface roughness. These can generate numerous hot spots with huge enhancement in nanogaps and rough surface. These results provide an understanding of the correlation between morphologies and SERS performance, and could be helpful for developing optimal and applicable SERS materials.

AbstractSurface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopy technique, which is used in the areas of medical diagnostics. This technique use the advantages of biofunctionalized nanoparticles (NPs) for imaging and quantifying of target molecules such as proteins in assays, cells and tissues. The lack of reliability and reproducibility of the results are major challenges in the application of diagnostics based of SERS substrates. The biofunction and success of nanomedical tasks depends on the quality of each involved element like antibodies (IgGs) and nanostructures before, during and after preparation or conjunction with nanoparticles. This short review summarizes current designs of different SERS substrates and highlights the improvement of particularly simple and gentle conjugation methods for targeting research with SERS labels.

Photocatalytic Applications

In this article, we demonstrate a facile, rapid, and practical approach to growing high-quality Cu2S nanosheets decorated with Ag nanoparticles (NPs) through the galvanic reduction method. The Ag/Cu2S nanosheets were efficiently applied to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and photocatalytic degradation applications. The photodegradation of RhB dye with the Ag/Cu2S nanosheets composites occurred at a rate of 2.9 times faster than that observed with the undecorated Cu2S nanosheets. Furthermore, the Ag/Cu2S nanosheets displayed highly sensitive SERS detection of organic pollutant (R6G) as low as 10−9 M. The reproducibility experiments indicated that the Ag/Cu2S nanosheets composites could be used for dual functionality in a new generation of outstandingly sensitive SERS probes for detection and stable photocatalysts.
