Surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE) is a new analytical technique that provides increased and directional radiation based on the near-field interaction between fluorophores and surface plasmons but suffers from the limitation of insufficient sensitivity. The assembly of hollow-porous plasmonic nanoparticles could be the qualified candidate. After the introduction of gold nanocages (AuNCs), fluorescence signal enhancement was realized by factors over 150 and 600 compared with the normal SPCE and free space emission, respectively, with a fluorophore layer thickness of approximately 10 nm; hence, the unique enhancement of SPCE by the AuNCs effectively overcomes the signal quenching induced by resonance energy transfer (in normal SPCE). This enhancement was proven to be triggered by the superior wavelength match, the enhanced electromagnetic field, and new radiation channel and process induced by the AuNC assembly, which provides an opportunity to increase the detection sensitivity and establish an optimal plasmonic enhancement system. The amplified SPCE system was employed for multiwavelength simultaneous enhancement detection through the assembly of mixed hollow nanoparticles (AuNCs and gold nanoshells), which could broaden the application of SPCE in simultaneous sensing and imaging for multianalytes.

The present paper reports the fabrication of novel types of hybrid fibrous photocatalysts by combining block copolymer (BCP) templating, sol-gel processing, and coaxial electrospinning techniques. Coaxial electrospinning produces core-shell nanofibers (NFs), which are converted into hollow porous TiO NFs using an oxidative calcination step. Hybrid BCP micelles comprising a single plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) in their core and thereof derived silica-coated core-shell particles are utilized as precursors to generate yolk-shell type particulate inclusions in photocatalytically active NFs.

The evolutionary complexity of compartmentalized biostructures (such as cells and organelles) endows life-sustaining multistep chemical cascades and intricate living functionalities. Relatively, within a very short time span, a synthetic paradigm has resulted in tremendous growth in controlling the materials at different length scales (molecular, nano, micro, and macro), improving mechanistic understanding and setting the design principals toward different compositions, configurations, and structures, and in turn fine-tuning their optoelectronic and catalytic properties for targeted applications. Bioorthogonal catalysis offers a highly versatile toolkit for biochemical modulation and the capability to perform reactions inside living systems, endowing augmented functions.

Herein, A novel gold-silver alloy nanobox (AuAgNB)@SiO-gold nanosphere (AuNP) nanoassembly based on core-shell-satellite structure is fabricated and applied to the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of S100 calcium-binding protein B protein (S100B). It contains an anisotropic hollow porous AuAgNB core with rough surface, an ultrathin silica interlayer labeled with reporter molecules, and AuNP satellites. The nanoassemblies were systematically optimized by tuning the reporter molecules concentration, silica layer thickness, AuAgNB size, and the size and number of AuNP satellite size.

Here, we report the control of nanojunctions of hollow porous gold nanoshell (HPAuNS) structures by a facile oxygen plasma-etching process and the influence of changes in nanocrevices of the interparticle junction on the optical and sensing characteristics of HPAuNSs. We demonstrate a high tunability of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of rhodamine 6G (R6G) using HPAuNS structures with different nanojunctions by varying the degree of gold sintering.
