Abstract
Viruses are mostly resistant to low temperatures and can survive for a long time and maintain their infectivity at temperatures below 0 °C. Therefore, realizing virus detection at low temperatures is a great challenge. Subzero temperatures change the state of the water-soluble substrate, increasing the difficulty of detection. In this work, we designed a novel enhancement substrate to obtain SERS signals of biomolecules stably at low temperatures. For the first time, methanol solvent was introduced into the aqueous system of silver nanoparticles modified with iodide ions. The introduction of methanol solvent not only serves as an anticoagulant to keep the system stable at low temperatures, but it can also improve nanoparticles and form a “hot spot”, which is more suitable for virus detection. This low-toxicity, rapid, and highly sensitive in situ detection technique lays the foundation for the development of SERS technology in the field of food and life sciences.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
