Article Synopsis
  • Strengthening the interaction between negatively charged targets and positively charged SERS substrates is key for enhancing SERS detection sensitivity.
  • Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that electrostatic interactions between the target and a linker play a crucial role in determining SERS sensitivity, influenced by factors like the linker's protonation capacity and the target's structure.
  • Optimizing these interactions can significantly boost detection sensitivity by 1-3 orders of magnitude, providing valuable insights for future SERS detection techniques using a variety of surface forces.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been demonstrated as an ultrasensitive tool for various molecules. However, for the negatively charged molecules, the widely used SERS substrate [negatively charged Ag and Au nanoparticles (Ag or Au NPs (-)] showed either low sensitivity or poor stability. The best solution is to synthesize positively charged silver or gold nanoparticles [Ag or Au NPs (+)] with high stability and excellent SERS performance, which are currently unavailable.

The coastal zone is an area where terrestrial and marine ecosystems intersect. This region may be subject to outstanding environmental issues, as influenced by many stakeholders. Based on the framework of collaborative governance, the starting conditions for forming a coastal zone environment collaborative governance relationship are proposed as follows: coastal zone environment, balanced level of power and resources, superior-level government participation, and previous cooperation experience.
