Article Abstract

We develop scalable 3D plasmonic nanoarchitectures comprising a double-bent nanoscale Au strip array integrated within the transparent nanograting framework, which can be continuously fabricated on a large-area flexible substrate via roll-to-roll nanoimprint lithography and angled Au deposition, realizing localized surface plasmon resonance with higher sensitivity in a smaller footprint.

The demand for rapid, field-deployable detection of hazardous substances has intensified the search for plasmonic sensors with both high sensitivity and fabrication simplicity. Conventional approaches to plasmonic substrates, however, often rely on lithographic precision or complex chemistries limiting scalability and reproducibility. Here, a facile, one-step synthesis of vertically aligned 2D nanosheets composed of intergrown CuO/CuO crystallites is presented, fabricated via oxygen plasma discharge on copper substrates.

Colloidal gold technology has revolutionized viral diagnostics through its rapid, cost-effective, and user-friendly applications, particularly in point-of-care testing (POCT). This review synthesizes recent advancements, focusing on its role in detecting respiratory viruses, hepatitis viruses, and emerging pathogens. The technology leverages the unique optical and physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), including localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and high surface-to-volume ratios, to achieve rapid antigen-antibody recognition with visual readouts within 15 min.

Patchy nanoparticles (NPs) enable directional interactions and dynamic structural transformations, yet controlling polymeric patch formation with high spatial precision remains a significant challenge. Here, a thermally driven approach is presented to forming polystyrene (PS) patches on low-curvature facets of anisotropic gold nanocubes (NCs) using a single polymer component. Heating in DMF above 90 °C triggers selective desorption of PS chains from high-curvature edges and vertices via Au─S bond dissociation, followed by migration and deposition into rounded patches on flat surfaces.

Integrating surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) into a single probe is a natural step forward for plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy (PES), as SEF enables enhanced fluorescent imaging for fast screening of targets, while SERS allows ultrasensitive trace molecular characterization with specificity. However, many challenges remain, e.g.

POPs (POPs), including pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals, pose severe environmental and health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. While conventional methods like adsorption and biological treatment are widely used, their inefficiency in mineralizing POPs and generating secondary waste has driven interest in AOPs, particularly photocatalysis. This review examines recent advancements in photocatalytic materials and mechanisms for POP degradation, focusing on semiconductors such as TiO₂, doped catalysts, and visible-light-active composites.
