A seedless, one-step synthetic route to uniform bumpy silver nanoshells (AgNSs) as highly NIR sensitive SERS substrates is reported. These substrates can incorporate Raman label compounds and biocompatible polymers on their surface. AgNS based NIR-SERS probes are successfully applied to cell tracking in a live animal using a portable Raman system.

Article Synopsis
- * The study develops a detection platform using Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with dual-metal nanomaterials that enhances sensitivity, allowing the quick and direct measurement of GSM with results in as little as 4 minutes.
- * The new detection method is highly sensitive, with a detection limit of 0.16 ng/L for GSM, and shows great potential for real-time monitoring of earthy odors without the need for labels or biomaterials.

Plasmonic catalysis is a rapidly growing field of research, both from experimental and computational perspectives. Experimental observations demonstrate an enhanced dissociation rate for molecules in the presence of plasmonic nanoparticles under low-intensity visible light. The hot-carrier transfer from the nanoparticle to the molecule is often claimed as the mechanism for dissociation.

There is currently a great deal of interest in realizing localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in two distinct windows in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum for biosensing and medical applications, the biological window (BW) I and II (BW I, 700-900 nm; BW II, 1000-1700 nm). This study aims to demonstrate that LSPRs of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) core-silver (Ag) shell structures exhibit promising features for biological applications in the NIR BW I and II. Here, we study three different shapes for nanoshells: the core-shell nanosphere, nanorod, and nanodisk.

Flexible fiber electrodes offer new opportunities for bioelectronics and are reliable applications, high flexibility, high electrical conductivity, and satisfactory biocompatibility are typically required. Herein, we present an all-metal flexible and biocompatible fiber electrode based on a metal nanowire hybrid strategy, , silver nanowires were assembled on a freestanding framework, and further to render them inert, they were plated with a gold nanoshell. Our fiber electrodes exhibited a low modulus of ∼75 MPa and electrical conductivity up to ∼4.

Galactosemia, a severe genetic metabolic disorder, results from the absence of galactose-degrading enzymes, leading to harmful galactose accumulation. In this study, we introduce a novel capillary-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensor for convenient and sensitive galactose detection. The developed sensor enhances SERS signals by introducing gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) onto the surface of silver nanoshells (Ag NSs) within a capillary, creating Ag NSs with Au NPs as satellites.
