For sensitive and reproducible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based trace detection, a SERS platform with high concentration of homogeneously distributed hotspots is needed. Herein, we report a facile monolayer assembly of multispiked gold nanoparticles (MSGNPs) of various sizes over a large area. The assembly was achieved simply by tuning the concentration of MSGNPs in a suspension and subsequently drying it on a substrate under ambient conditions. A monolayer assembly for MSGNP sizes ranging from 150 to 640 nm has been demonstrated. The MSGNP assembly showed excellent sensitivity and uniformity of SERS-based trace detection, owing to the presence of high concentration of uniformly distributed interparticle and intraparticle hotspots. In particular, detection of 10 fM of a toxic dye, crystal violet, has been demonstrated. Moreover, ammonium nitrate, which is a commonly used material for homemade explosives, was detected at 1 mu M level. The MSGNP-based SERS platforms have great potential for applications in sensitive and reliable toxin and explosive detection.

Facile fabrication of Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles on filter paper: Application in SERS based swab detection and multiplexing Khan, Ghazanfar Ali; Demirtaş, O. Özge; Bek, Alpan; Bhatti, Arshad Saleem; Ahmed, Waqqar (2022-05-01) © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Facile fabrication of flexible substrates containing high concentration of nanoparticles (NPs) is very promising owing to their capability of swab-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) trace detection. However, the background signal of the substrate could compromise the trace-detection capabilities. Moreover, the presence of fluorescent molecules may result in intense fluorescence background which could overshadow the Raman peaks. Herein, we demonstrate that the surfactant-free ...
Fabrication of flexible, cost-effective, and scalable silver substrates for efficient surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy based trace detection Khan, Ghazanfar Ali; Demirtas, O. Ozge; Demir, Ahmet Kemal; Aytekin, Özlem; Bek, Alpan; Bhatti, Arshad Saleem; Ahmed, Waqqar (2021-06-01) The fabrication and optimization of cost-effective, eco-friendly, uniform and flexible SERS platforms by facile synthesis routes has recently attracted great attention for trace detection of various analytes. Herein, we report the fabrication of interconnected Ag nanostructures on the unmodified filter paper-based flexible substrates by a facile recipe, which involves evaporation of Ag precursor solution on the filter paper followed by its reduction with a strong reducing agent, NaBH4. The fabrication proce...
Biosensors Based on Nano-Gold/Zeolite-Modified Ion Selective Field-Effect Transistors for Creatinine Detection Kasap, Berna Ozansoy; Marchenko, Svitlana V.; Soldatkin, Oleksandr O.; Dzyadevych, Sergei V.; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2017-03-02) The combination of advantages of using zeolites and gold nanoparticles were aimed to be used for the first time to improve the characteristic properties of ion selective field-effect transistor (ISFET)-based creatinine biosensors. The biosensors with covalently cross-linked creatinine deiminase using glutaraldehyde (GA) were used as a control group, and the effect of different types of zeolites on biosensor responses was investigated in detail by using silicalite, zeolite beta (BEA), nano-sized zeolite beta...
Highly sensitive and selective colorimetric probe for determination of L-cysteine in aqueous media based on Ag/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles Farhadi, Khalil; Forough, Mehrdad; Pourhossein, Atefeh; Molaei, Rahim (2014-10-01) The interaction between Ag/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles and cysteine was introduced as a new and high potential colorimetric probe for the selective, sensitive and low-cost recognition and monitoring of cysteine in aqueous samples. In the presence of NaCl, cysteine was able to induce the aggregation of Ag/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles thereby resulting in a change in yellowish-brown color of the Ag/Pd colloid to green. The presence of 6.6 mM NaCl in the samples decreases the electrostatic repulsion and acceler...
Tungsten(VI) oxide supported rhodium nanoparticles: Highly active catalysts in hydrogen generation from ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Tonbul, Yalcin; Özkar, Saim (2021-04-01) Herein, we report the use of tungsten(VI) oxide (WO3) as support for Rh0 nanoparticles. The resulting Rh0/WO3 nanoparticles are highly active and stable catalysts in H2 generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). We present the results of our investigation on the particle size distribution, catalytic activity and stability of Rh0/WO3 catalysts with 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% wt. Rh loadings in the hydrolysis reaction. The results reveal that Rh0/WO3 (0.5% wt. Rh) is very promising catalyst providing a turn...
