SERS Hotspot Engineering by Aerosol Self-Assembly of Plasmonic Ag Nanoaggregates with Tunable Interparticle Distance. [PDF]
AbstractSurface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful sensing technique. However, the employment of SERS sensors in practical applications is hindered by high fabrication costs from processes with limited scalability, poor batch‐to‐batch reproducibility, substrate stability, and uniformity.

SERS Hotspot Engineering by Aerosol Self‐Assembly of Plasmonic Ag Nanoaggregates with Tunable Interparticle Distance (Adv. Sci. 22/2022) [PDF]
Pesticide Residue Detection In article number 2201133 by Georgios A. Sotiriou and co‐workers, flame aerosol technology is used for the rapid self‐assembly of uniform surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing films. These robust nano‐sensors can detect pesticide residues on apple surface in a short time of 5 minutes without destroying the fruit ...

Utilizing Freeze-Thaw-Ultrasonication to Prepare Mesoporous Silica-Encapsulated Colloidal Silver Nanoaggregates with Long-Term Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Activity [PDF]
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is widely employed due to its high sensitivity and distinctive fingerprinting capabilities. Colloidal nanoaggregates are commonly used as SERS substrates because of their mobility and the abundance of “hotspots”.

Controlling Selectivity at the First Hydrogenation Level: Synthesis of 3-Hydroxyisoindolines by Heterogeneously Silver-Catalyzed Monohydrogenation of Phthalimides. [PDF]
3‐Hydroxylactams are obtained from phthalimides through a heterogeneous catalyzed chemoselective hydrogenation, able to stop the process at the first hydrogenation level. By using a rationally designed [Ag/Al2O3] recyclable solid nanocatalyst, a wide range of cyclic hemiamidals are accesed through a full atom‐economical reaction that preserves (hetero ...

Plasma-Tunable Metasurfaces for SERS Nanosensing of Hazardous Chemicals. [PDF]
One‐step oxygen plasma sculpting of copper into vertically aligned oxide nanosheets is reported via energetic ion bombardment and defect‐mediated growth. Magnetron‐sputtered silver nanoparticles decorate these sheets to yield a plasmonic metasurface whose network of hot spots amplifies multi‐wavelength SERS signals for explosive and related hazardous ...
