The fine control of the nanogap and morphology of metal nanoparticles (NPs) has always been an obstacle, hindering the development and application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) quantitative detection. Here, Au/4-mercaptobenzoic acid@Ag@Au-Ag bimetal core-shell nanocubes (NCs) with a "crescent arc" facet (C-Au/4MBA@Ag NCs) as a highly reliable and sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering SERS substrate is proposed for the first time. The bifunctional internal standard (IS) molecules (4MBA) govern the morphology of metal shells to maintain cubic configuration and provide calibration for SERS signals' flotation.

In this work, a sandwich-type electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system was constructed for the detection of CA15-3. Gold-silver bimetallic nanoclusters (Au-Ag BNCs) with zein as a protective ligand were synthesized, and the excellent ECL performance of this material was demonstrated for the first time. Zein carrying a variety of groups that ligated with Au-Ag BNCs, forming a protective shell of zein, effectively prevented clusters from aggregating or growing into larger nanoparticles.

Cellulose fiber/paper-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is considered as a promising food safety detection technology due to its non-toxicity, low cost, flexibility, and hygroscopicity for possible rapid on-site agricultural product contaminant detection. However, it faces the problems of poor noble metal adhesion and toxic noble metal reducing agent. In this study, a natural macromolecule-xylan was used as both a reducing agent and a stabilizing agent to prepare stable Au-Ag bimetal nanoparticles, which were anchored on the paper surface by xylans in order to fabricate a paper-based Au-Ag bimetallic SERS substrate.

The analysis via density functional theory was employed to understand high photocatalytic activity found on the Au-Ag high-noble alloys catalysts supported on rutile TiO during the oxygen evolution of water oxidation reaction (OER). It was indicated that the most thermodynamically stable location of the Au-Ag bimetal-support interface is the bridging row oxygen vacancy site. On the active region of the Au-Ag catalyst, the Au site is the most active for OER catalyzing the reaction with an overpotential of 0.

Herein, Au@Ag@β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) nanoparticles with a relatively uniform shape and size of ∼13 nm in diameter have been successfully synthesized, and the surfaces of the synthesized nanoparticles are successful modified by β-CD. A highly efficient synthetic approach was developed for the preparation of a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate, which self-assembles Au@Ag@β-CD nanoparticles and analytes into a coffee ring pattern the coffee ring effect. The coffee ring effect can make phthalates (PAEs) aggregate to the edge together with the Au@Ag@β-CD nanoparticles and concentration enrichment can be achieved.
