Sensing and characterizing water-soluble polypeptides are essential in various biological applications. However, detecting polypeptides using Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) remains a challenge due to the dominance of aromatic amino acid residues and backbones in the signal, which hinders the detection of non-aromatic amino acid residues. Herein, intra-nanoparticle plasmonic nanogap were designed by etching the Ag shell in Au@AgNPs (i.e., obtaining AuAg cores) with chlorauric acid under mild conditions, at the same time forming the outermost Au shell and the void between the AuAg cores and the Au shell (AuAg@void@Au). By varying the Ag to added chloroauric acid molar ratios, we pioneered a simple, controllable, and general synthetic strategy to form interlayer-free nanoparticles with tunable Au shell thickness, achieving precise regulation of electric field enhancement within the intra-nanogap. As validation, two polypeptide molecules, bacitracin and insulin B, were successfully synchronously encapsulated and spatial-confined in the intra-nanogap for sensing. Compared with concentrated 50 nm AuNPs and Au@AgNPs as SERS substrates, our simultaneous detection method improved the sensitivity of the assay while benefiting to obtain more comprehensive characteristic peaks of polypeptides. The synthetic strategy of confining analytes while fabricating plasmonic nanostructures enables the diffusion of target molecules into the nanogap in a highly specific and sensitive manner, providing the majority of the functionality required to achieve peptide detection or sequencing without the hassle of labeling.
