Area of Science:

  • Nanoplasmonics
  • Spectroscopy
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Nanoplasmonic materials create 'hot spots' for enhanced light concentration, crucial for sensitive detection.
  • Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) relies on these hot spots for single-molecule analysis.
  • Achieving consistent ultrasensitive SERS is challenging due to hot spot variability and analyte positioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel material for ultrasensitive SERS with improved analyte handling.
  • To investigate the plasmonic properties and signal transmission capabilities of a new biohybrid material.
  • To demonstrate the material's effectiveness in real-world analytical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a 3D plasmonic web biohybrid (3D-POWER) using nanopaper, graphene oxide, and gold nanorods.
  • In silico experiments to simulate light capture and plasmonic field transmission.
  • Experimental validation of plasmonic field transport and SERS signal carrying ability.
  • Assessment of detection limits and applicability in food and biofluid analysis.

Main Results:

  • 3D-POWER exhibits plasmonic transmission, creating an active plasmonic web throughout its volume.
  • The material spontaneously absorbs analytes and acts as a SERS signal carrier, extending beyond the instrument's field of view.
  • Demonstrated ultrasensitive SERS performance with a yoctomolar limit of detection.
  • Proven utility in analyzing samples from food and biofluids.

Conclusions:

  • 3D-POWER is an eco-friendly, flexible material that overcomes key challenges in ultrasensitive SERS.
  • Its unique plasmonic properties enable efficient analyte absorption and signal transmission for highly sensitive detection.
  • 3D-POWER presents a promising platform for diverse (bio)analytical applications.
