High-porosity hybrid bilayer-enabled portable LED plasmonic biosensing

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Sep 13;58(73):10154-10157. doi: 10.1039/d2cc03757b.

Abstract

A TiO2-nanowire/Au-nanoparticle hybrid layer, possessing nanocavities and a plasmonic metasurface, can accomplish an entire visible region absorbance, inducing remarkable photocurrent-extraction efficiency. A blood-glucose strip-like testing protocol assembled using this layer allows nondestructive quantitative alpha-fetoprotein detection in human serum under homemade visible LED illumination, indicating its potential in commercial point-of-care testing applications.
