All-Optical Nanoscale pH Meter

Abstract: We show that an Au nanoshell with a pH-sensitive molecular adsorbate functions as a standalone, all-optical nanoscale pH meter that monitors its local environment through the pH-dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of the adsorbate molecules. Moreover, we also show how the performance of such a functional nanodevice can be assessed quantitatively. The complex spectral output is reduced to a simple device characteristic by application of a locally linear manifold approximation algorithm. T… Show more

“…This response is a result of biological, chemical, mechanical or electrical reactions occurring on the sensor. Examples of nanobiosensors are quantum dots, fluorescent nanoparticles, metallic nanoparticles, CNs [41], pH sensors or oxygen sensors that use nanotechnology for locally discrete measurements or a molecule-release sensor (such as release of calcium or potassium) [46]. Energy supply of nanosensors can be provided through the integration of motor proteins that function through ATP [47].…”

“…Nanosensors to measure intracellular pH have been reported in many studies, the most common being 4-mercaptobenzoic acid functionalised nanoparticles. [84][85][86][87] Auchinvole et al [88] also developed nanosensors for measurement of intracellular redox potential, a key physiological characteristic, with changes in redox potential often associated with disease development. This is therefore a key characteristic that could be monitored in HTS assays to monitor response to drug treatment.…”
