Especially the fluorescence background signal, which is typically several orders of magnitude stronger than the Raman signal, can even overwhelm or obscure the Raman signals, thereby impeding the qualitative or quantitative analysis of the Raman spectra. One effective method for removing the fluorescence background is shift excitation Raman differential spectroscopy (SERDS), which typically involves measuring two raw Raman spectra using slightly different excitation wavelengths, combined with reconstruction algorithms, to obtain Raman spectra free from fluorescence interference. For this purpose, a reconstruction method based on Tikhonov regularized least squares (TRLS) was developed in this study, which mitigated the oscillations caused by the direct unconstrained least squares (DULS) reconstruction method. The method was verified and optimized using four groups of artificial datasets with different characteristics. By selecting an appropriate value for parameter α, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the reconstructed datasets was lower than that of the artificial datasets in most cases. Additionally, we evaluated the performance of the TRLS reconstruction algorithm based on a quantitative model of real Raman spectral datasets, assessing the algorithm's performance from three perspectives: the root mean square error (RMSE), the correlation coefficient (R), and the ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD). The quantitative results indicate that using the TRLS method for reconstruction enhances both prediction accuracy and practicality. In summary, findings from both simulated data and actual experiments demonstrate that the TRLS-based reconstruction method substantially improves the stability and reliability of differential Raman spectra reconstruction.</p>","PeriodicalId":94213,"journal":{"name":"Spectrochimica acta.

Herein, we have attempted to develop anisotropic gold-silver (a-AuAg) nanoparticles deposited on a titanium sheet (a-AuAg@Ti) as a highly efficient Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) sensor for rapid detection of health-hazardous milk adulterants like melamine. Hierarchical a-AuAg nanoparticles have been synthesized via a facile seed and growth-mediated method, followed by immobilization on a titanium sheet using a drop-casting technique. The structural, morphological, chemical, and optical properties of a-AuAg@Ti sensors have been systematically investigated and correlated with their respective SERS performance. Morphological analysis revealed the occurrence of triangular, hexagonal, and pentagonal-shaped nanoparticles with an average particle size of ∼ 23 to 26 nm. Preliminary SERS analysis using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) probe molecule revealed significantly higher SERS activity for a-AuAg nanoparticles compared to their spherical counterparts. This could be attributed to the lightning rod effect associated with the synthesized anisotropic nanostructures. An enhancement factor of 1.7 x 10<sup>8</sup> has been estimated for a-AuAg@Ti sensor with excellent signal reproducibility. Further, the efficacy of melamine detection has been investigated by spiking it into water and milk samples. The estimated lower detection limit (LDL) near picomolar and nanomolar concentrations have been obtained for melamine-spiked samples in water and milk, respectively. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis for melamine revealed an LDL of only 0.1 µM, indicating the higher sensitivity of a-AuAg@Ti SERS sensor. Moreover, we have also analyzed commercial milk products to verify the melamine contents, but none of them showed melamine-specific fingerprint bands.

In this work, a low-cost, portable, and easy-to-use paper chip biosensor was developed, integrating smartphones for the detection of CBF pesticide residues. This biosensor facilitates rapid on-site testing, meeting the needs for immediate analysis. CBF has the ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. In the presence of AChE, acetylthiocholine (ATCh) is hydrolyzed to produce thiocholine (TCh). TCh, in turn, can inhibit the catalytic activity of Ni-N-C single-atom nanozymes (SAzyme) synthesized using Ni(OH)<sub>2</sub> nanochip as a metal precursor, which possess high peroxidase activity. Consequently, the concentration of CBF can be determined by observing the resultant color changes. The results showed that this sensor had a good linear response in the range of CBF concentration from 10 to 500 ng/mL, and the LOD was as low as 8.79 ng/mL.

In this study, we propose that post-classification modeling based on differences in spectral features is beneficial for improving the prediction of N and P contents in cotton leaves. To test this hypothesis, we first used principal component analysis to downscale the hyperspectral data and then used Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM) to segment the hyperspectral data for spectral differences. The in-situ measured data was then combined with the random forest model to establish N and P prediction models for cotton leaves with spectral differences and full samples. Finally, the predictive model was utilized for leaf N and P spatial mapping of cotton in the field using UAV hyperspectral images as the input data. The results demonstrate that the spectral reflectance features of the different clusters classified by the GMM differ significantly in intensity and shape. The accuracy of the cotton leaf N and P prediction model based on the spectral differences was attributed to the full sample.
