Temperature-assisted ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with high performance liquid chromatography for the determination of PCBs and PBDEs in water and urine samples

We report on silver–gold core-shell nanostructures that contain Methylene Blue (MB) at the gold–silver interface. They can be used as reporter molecules in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) labels. The labels are stable and have strong SERS activity. TEM imaging revealed that these nanoparticles display bright and dark stripe structures. In addition, these labels can act as probes that can be detected and imaged through the specific Raman signatures of the reporters. We show that such SERS probes can identify cellular structures due to enhanced Raman spectra of intrinsic cellular molecules measured in the local optical fields of the core-shell nanostructures. They also provide structural information on the cellular environment as demonstrated for these nanoparticles as new SERS-active and biocompatible substrates for imaging of live cells.

DNA-embedded Au/Ag core-shell nanoparticles

Here, we synthesized highly stable DNA-embedded Au/Ag core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) by a straightforward silver-staining of DNA-modified Au nanoparticles (AuNPs); unlike conventional DNA-surface modified NPs that present particle stability issues, DNA-embedded core-shell NPs offer an extraordinary stability with nanoscale controllability of silver shell thickness; these DNA-embedded core-shell NPs show excellent biorecognition properties and Ag shell-thickness-based optical properties, distinctively different from those of a mixture of AuNPs and AgNPs or Ag/Au alloy nanoparticles.     

A general and high-yield galvanic displacement approach to Au-M (M = Au, Pd, and Pt) core-shell nanostructures with porous shells and enhanced electrocatalytic performances

In this work, we utilize the galvanic displacement synthesis and make it a general and efficient method for the preparation of Au-M (M = Au, Pd, and Pt) core-shell nanostructures with porous shells, which consist of multilayer nanoparticles. The method is generally applicable to the preparation of Au-Au, Au-Pd, and Au-Pt core-shell nanostructures with typical porous shells. Moreover, the Au-Au isomeric core-shell nanostructure is reported for the first time. The lower oxidation states of Au(I), Pd(II), and Pt(II) are supposed to contribute to the formation of porous core-shell nanostructures instead of yolk-shell nanostructures. The electrocatalytic ethanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance of porous Au-Pd core-shell nanostructures are assessed as a typical example for the investigation of the advantages of the obtained core-shell nanostructures. As expected, the Au-Pd core-shell nanostructure indeed exhibits a significantly reduced overpotential (the peak potential is shifted in the positive direction by 44?mV and 32?mV), a much improved CO tolerance (I(f)/I(b) is 3.6 and 1.63 times higher), and an enhanced catalytic stability in comparison with Pd nanoparticles and Pt/C catalysts. Thus, porous Au-M (M = Au, Pd, and Pt) core-shell nanostructures may provide many opportunities in the fields of organic catalysis, direct alcohol fuel cells, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and so forth.     

A one-step colorimetric method of analysis detection of Hg2+ based on an in situ formation of Au@HgS core-shell structures

A new approach for the detection of Hg(2+) is reported based on color changes from which gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are surrounded by a layer of HgS quantum dots to form in situ Au@HgS core-shell nanostructures. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption of the gold core was changed due to a shell layer of HgS formed on the surface of the Au NPs, which brings the colour change of the aqueous solution. Therefore, Hg(2+) can be recognized by visualizing the colour change of the Au@HgS core-shell nanostructures, and can be detected quantitatively by measurement of the UV-vis spectra. Some effects on the detection of Hg(2+) were investigated in detail. This method was used to detect Hg(2+) with excellent selectivity and high sensitivity. In our method, the lowest detected concentrations for mercury ions were 5.0 × 10(-6) M observed by the naked eye and 0.486 nM as measured by UV-vis spectra. At the range from 8.0 × 10(-5) to 1.0 × 10(-8) M of Hg(2+), this method was shown to have a good linear relationship.     

Synthesis of p-aminothiophenol-embedded gold/silver core-shell nanostructures as novel SERS tags for biosensing applications

We describe a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tag that is based on Au/Ag core-shell nanostructures embedded with p-aminothiophenol. The Au/Ag core-shell sandwich nanostructures demonstrate bright and dark stripe structure and possess very strong SERS activity. Under optimum conditions, the maximum SERS signal was obtained with a 10?nm thick Ag nanoshell, and the enhancement factor is 3.4?×?10⁴ at 1077?cm^?1. After conjugation to the antibody of muramidase releasing protein (MRP), the Au/Ag core-shell nanostructures were successfully applied to an SERS-based detection scheme for MRP based on a sandwich type of immunoassay.

Controllable synthesis and catalysis application of hierarchical PS/Au core-shell nanocomposites

Polystyrene (PS)/gold (Au) core-shell nanocomposites with tunable size, high stability, and excellent catalytic activity have been synthesized by a facile method that combines the ionic self-assembly with the in situ reduction. The composition and stoichiometry, as well as its morphology and optical properties of these nanocomposites have been examined and verified by various characterization techniques. The size and the coverage of gold nanoparticles (NPs) can be simply tailored by changing the amount of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTES), the functionalization time, the protonation time, and the amount of chloroauric acid (HAuCl₄). The continuous red shifts of the localized surface plasmon resonance absorption of the Au NPs on the PS spheres are observed. Importantly, the obtained Au NPs with controllable and uniform size on the surfaces of amino-functionalized PS spheres exhibit excellent size-dependent catalytic properties for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) by NaBH₄.     

Synergistic catalysis of Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles stabilized on metal-organic framework

For the first time, this work presents Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized on a metal-organic framework (MOF) by a sequential deposition-reduction method. The small-size Au@Ag NPs reveal the restriction effects of the pore/surface structure in the MOF. The modulation of the Au/Ag ratio can tune the composition and a reversed Au/Ag deposition sequence changes the structure of Au-Ag NPs, while a posttreatment process transforms the core-shell NPs to a AuAg alloy. Catalytic studies show a strong bimetallic synergistic effect of core-shell structured Au@Ag NPs, which have much higher catalytic activities than alloy and monometallic NPs.

A plasmon-enhanced theranostic nanoplatform for synergistic chemo-phototherapy of hypoxic tumors in the NIR-II window

Development of simple and effective synergistic therapy by combination of different therapeutic modalities within one single nanostructure is of great importance for cancer treatment. In this study, by integrating the anticancer drug DOX and plasmonic bimetal heterostructures into zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), a stimuli-responsive multifunctional nanoplatform, DOX-Pt-tipped Au@ZIF-8, has been successfully fabricated. Pt nanocrystals with catalase-like activity were selectively grown on the ends of the Au nanorods to form Pt-tipped Au NR heterostructures. Under single 1064 nm laser irradiation, compared with Au NRs and Pt-covered Au NRs, the Pt-tipped Au nanorods exhibit outstanding photothermal and photodynamic properties owing to more efficient plasmon-induced electron–hole separation. The heat generated by laser irradiation can enhance the catalytic activity of Pt and improve the O₂ level to relieve tumor hypoxia. Meanwhile, the strong absorption in the NIR-II region and high-Z elements (Au, Pt) of the DOX-Pt-tipped Au@ZIF-8 provide the possibility for photothermal (PT) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental results illustrated that the DOX-Pt-tipped Au@ZIF-8 exhibits remarkably synergistic plasmon-enhanced chemo-phototherapy (PTT/PDT) and successfully inhibited tumor growth. Taken together, this work contributes to designing a rational theranostic nanoplatform for PT/CT imaging-guided synergistic chemo-phototherapy under single laser activation.
