Plasmon-driven catalysis of metal nanostructures has garnered wide interest. Here, a photogenerated plasmonic hot-electron painting strategy was reported to form Au@Pt composite nanoparticles (Au@Pt NPs) with high catalytic reactivity without using reducing agents. Au nanoparticles, including Au nanospheres (Au NSs), Au nanorods (Au NRs), and Au nanobipyramids (Au NBPs), generated hot electrons under localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excitation, which made the platinum precursor reduced as a consequence that Pt(0) atoms were painted on the surface of Au NPs to form an asymmetric Pt shell outside the plasmonic Au core. Compared with bare Au NPs, Au@Pt NPs exhibited significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward reduction of HO due to the bimetallic synergistic effect and great dispersion of Au@Pt NP-modified indium tin oxide (Au@Pt NPs/ITO). It exhibited a linear detection of HO in a wide concentration range from 0.5 to 1000 μM with a low detection limit of 0.11 μM (S/N = 3). Therefore, the plasmonic hot-electron-painted Au@Pt NPs represent a novel and simple method for the design of advanced noble asymmetric metal nanomaterials.

Topotactic transformation is an emerging strategy for synthesizing materials with exotic functional properties. In this report, instead of producing new crystals with related structures, we exploited the topotactic transformation phenomenon to spontaneously produce compositionally diverse nanostructures on the transforming substrate. The surface of magnetite nanoparticles (FeO NPs) is topotactically transformed into maghemite (γ-FeO).

Chiral Au@Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with optically plasmonic and catalytic active surfaces were sustainably prepared to serve as label-free surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform to distinguish D- and L-enantiomers of alanine and tartaric acid. Surface morphologies were characterized by high-angle annular dark-field imaging-scanning transmission electron microscopy (HADDF-STEM) and selected area energy diffraction (SAED) patterns. The amounts of Pt on chiral Au NPs were estimated by the inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Enzymatic cascade reactions with high activity and specificity in living cells always benefit from multicompartmentalized organelles that provide separately confined spaces for enzymes, avoiding their mutual interference to ensure the high-efficiency operation of necessary vital movements. Inspired by this, we designed a 3D spherical microreactor (Au@H-APF@Pt) with biomimetic cascade catalysis for glucose detection. First, ultrasmall gold nanoparticles were immobilized in situ on the internal cavities of hollow 3-aminophenol formaldehyde resin (H-APF) nanospheres, along with glucose oxidase activity.

Single-entity-based sensing platform has many advantages for real-time assays, such as single-molecule analysis, or targets detection in confined environment. In this contribution, a new single Au nanowire (NW) - Au@Pt/Au nanoparticles (Au@Pt/Au NPs) conjugated system was established and used for the detection of thrombin by using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique. This method was mainly based on electrostatic attraction between the capture (thrombin aptamer) and probe molecules (crystal violet, CV) on the surface of Au NW - Au@Pt/Au NPs conjugation, reducing the adsorption of CV molecules on conjugation surface, and resulting the decrease of SERS signals.

With SARS-CoV-2 N protein as a model target, a signal-enhanced LFIA based on Au@Pt nanoparticles (NPs) as labels is proposed. This Au@Pt NPs combined the distinguished localized surface plasma resonance (LSPR) effect of Au NPs and the ultrahigh peroxidase-like catalytic activity of Pt NPs. Au@Pt NPs could trigger substrate chromogenic reaction, generating a color signal orders of magnitude darker than their intrinsic color.
