金纳米团簇组装的表面增强拉曼散射基底

表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)光谱技术是一种高灵敏度的检测技术,已在社会发展的多个领域显示出潜在的应用前景。SERS活性基底的大面积、低成本、可控制备是表面增强拉曼散射光谱学研究领域的热点之一。利用溶液法将直径小于5 nm的金纳米团簇旋涂成膜,调控退火温度和时间,将金纳米团簇融合组装成随机分布的金纳米岛。由于融合组装过程在150～210 ℃范围缓慢,控制条件可实现具有高密度增强“热点”的SERS基底,方法简单、成本低廉、面积大、均匀性高。我们利用该方法可重复性获得了性能优良的SERS基底。该基底对表面吸附的单分子层,具有强烈的表面增强拉曼散射光谱响应,150～210 ℃退火样品的宏观增强因子106～107量级。研究表明：相同条件下150～180 ℃退火,金纳米团簇首先融合成直径10～20 nm细小金纳米岛;退火温度190～210 ℃时,形成10～20 nm细小金纳米岛与50～70 nm金纳米岛混合并存的现象。拉曼光谱表征显示：大、小金纳米岛混合并存样品的宏观增强因子高于细小金纳米岛组成的样品。经220 ℃退火后,金纳米团簇完全融合成直径50～100 nm的金纳米岛,岛间距也随之增大,导致纳米岛之间的电磁场强度呈指数衰减,220 ℃退火的样品具有较低的增强因子。本论文揭示了金纳米团簇的缓慢自组装机制,分析了金纳米岛的形貌与表面增强拉曼散射光谱的关系,为该基底的应用研究奠定基础。

SERS Platforms of Plasmonic Hydrophobic Surfaces for Analyte Concentration: Hierarchically Assembled Gold Nanorods on Anodized Aluminum

Efficient and homogeneous surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates are usually prepared using lithographic approaches, physical evaporation, or in situ chemical reduction. However, these approaches are time‐consuming, expensive, and very difficult to upscale. Alternatively, template‐assisted approaches using colloidal suspensions of preformed nanoparticles have become more popular because of their low cost, fast production, and ability to be scaled up easily. One of the limitations of these methods is the dimensions of the structured surfaces. In this context, a new method for designing low‐cost, up‐scalable surface patterns that match building block dimensionality based on anodization of aluminum, enabling a hierarchical organization of anisotropic nanoparticles, is presented. The proposed new technology starts with anodized aluminum oxide with regular parallel linear periodicities. To produce a highly efficient plasmonic surface, gold nanorods are assembled into parallel lines where the long axes of the Au rods are also oriented along the substrate lines, thus inducing reproducible tip‐to‐tip plasmonic coupling with the corresponding generation of highly active hotspots. Additionally, this advanced material presents an inherent hydrophobicity that can be exploited as a method for concentration of analytes on the surface. SERS detection is demonstrated with benzenethiol and 2‐naphtoic acid.     

Optical probing and imaging of live cells using SERS labels

During surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), molecules exhibit a significant increase in their Raman signals when attached, or in very close vicinity, to gold or silver nanostructures. This effect is exploited as the basis of a new class of optical labels. Here we demonstrate robust and sensitive SERS labels as probes for imaging live cells. These hybrid labels consist of gold nanoparticles with Rose Bengal or Crystal Violet attached as reporter molecules. These new labels are stable and nontoxic, do not suffer from photobleaching, and can be excited at any excitation wavelength, even in the near infrared. SERS labels can be detected and imaged through the specific Raman signatures of the reporters. In addition, surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy in the local optical fields of the gold nanoparticles also provides sensitive information on the immediate molecular environment of the label in the cell and allows imaging of the native constituents of the cell. This is demonstrated by images based on a characteristic Raman line of the reporter as well as by displaying lipids based on the SERS signal of the C H deformation/bending modes at ∼1470 cm⁻¹.

银纳米粒子的SERS效应和SEF效应在微流控芯片光学检测中的应用

银纳米离子的SERS技术和SEF技术的信号检测灵敏度非常高,可以用在微流控芯片的定量分析中。为了提高微流控芯片光学检测技术的检测精度,提出一种在微通道中添加银纳米粒子来增强SYBR GreenⅠ拉曼和荧光信号的方法,并对该方法的原理和增强效果进行了研究。首先,利用准分子激光器在PMMA基板上直写刻蚀出宽200 μm、深68 μm的微通道,接着将制备的银前体溶液加入微通道,通过加热制备出表面增强拉曼（SERS）和表面增强荧光（SEF）基板,接下来对添加银纳米粒子前后的拉曼和荧光信号分别进行对比,进一步研究了微通道中不同浓度银纳米粒子对SYBR GREEN I的拉曼和荧光信号增强效果。添加银纳米粒子后,表面增强拉曼（SERS）实验的增强因子为3.5×10³,添加银纳米粒子的样品的荧光信号强度与不含银纳米粒子样品的荧光信号强度相比,约增加了1倍。结果表明,在微通道中检测SYBR Green I时通过增加银纳米粒子显著地增强了拉曼和荧光信号,这种方法可以用在以SYBR GreenⅠ做染料的微流控芯片检测技术中。

Aptamer‐Assisted Assembly of Gold Nanoframe Dimers

The assembly of nanoframe dimers assisted by aptamer‐functionalized smaller spherical gold nanoparticles as prospective surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biotraps for riboflavin, an important molecule for biological electron transfer reactions, is reported. In this approach, the aptamer‐coated gold nanoparticles designed for selective binding of riboflavin also serve as the electrostatic driver for nanoframe dimerization in dilute solutions. The gold nanoframe dimers provide unique conditions for plasmonic coupling in a hot spot with sufficient space for the binding of bulky biomolecules. The use of an aptamer allows for highly selective binding of the targeted analyte as compared with conventional organic ligands with excellent low detection limit of one micromole of riboflavin.     

SERS enhancement of gold nanospheres of defined size

Monodisperse, citrate‐stabilized gold nanoparticles of sizes ranging from 15 to 40 nm were synthesized and characterized by small angle X‐ray scattering and UV‐vis experiments. Identical surface properties of nanoparticles of different sizes to avoid variation in the chemical surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement, as well as selection of experimental conditions so that no aggregation took place, enabled the investigation of enhancement of individual nanospheres. Enhancement factors (EFs) for SERS were determined using the dye crystal violet (CV). EFs for individual gold nanospheres ranged from 10² to 10³, in agreement with theoretical predictions. An increase of the EFs of individual spheres with size can be correlated to changes in the extinction spectra of nanoparticle solutions. This confirms that the increase in enhancement with increasing size results from an increase in electromagnetic enhancement. Beyond this dependence of EFs of isolated gold spheres on their size, EFs were shown to vary with analyte concentration as a result of analyte‐induced aggregation. This has implications for the application of nanoparticle solutions as SERS substrates in quantitative analytical tasks. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
