    In situ synthesis of SERS-active Au@POM nanostructures in a microfluidic device for real-time detection of water pollutants
    (American Chemical Society, 2020) Lafuente Adiego, Marta; Pellejero, Ismael; Clemente, Alberto; Urbiztondo, Miguel A.; Mallada, Reyes; Reinoso, Santiago; Pina, María del Pilar; Gandía Pascual, Luis; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    We present a simple, versatile and low-cost approach for the preparation of SERS-active regions within a microfluidic channel 50 cm in length. The approach involves the UV-light-driven formation of polyoxometalate-decorated gold nanostructures, Au@POM (POM: H3PW12O40 (PW) and H3PMo12O40 (PMo)), that self-assemble in situ on the surface of the PDMS microchannels without any extra functionalization procedure. The fabricated LoCs were characterized by SEM, UV-Vis, Raman, XRD and XPS techniques. The SERS activity of the resulting Au@POM–coated lab-on-a-chip (LoC) devices was evaluated in both static and flow conditions using Rhodamine R6G. The SERS response of Au@PW–based LoCs was found superior to Au@PMo counterparts and outstanding when compared to reported data on metal@POM nanocomposites. We demonstrate the potentialities of both Au@POM–coated LoCs as analytical platforms for real time detection of the organophosphorous pesticide Paraoxon-methyl at 10-6 M concentration level.

    Highly sensitive SERS quantification of organophosphorous chemical warfare agents: a major step towards the real time sensing in the gas phase
    (Elsevier, 2018) Lafuente Adiego, Marta; Pellejero, Ismael; Sebastián, Víctor; Urbiztondo, Miguel A.; Mallada, Reyes; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
    A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensor was developed for the label-free real-time gas phase detection of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP); a surrogate molecule of the G-series nerve agents which are of particular concern due to its extreme toxicity, persistence and previous deployment. The SERS platform was designed using simple elements (Au nano-particles) coated with a citrate layer, and a self-assembly procedure that yields near- optimum distances among the nanoparticles. The citrate coating acts as an effective trap of the target molecules on the immediate vicinity of the Au nanoparticle surface under ambient conditions by reversible hydrogen bonding type interactions. For the first time, we have been able to detect sub-ppm concentrations of DMMP in gas phase (130 parts-per-billion), as might be found on potential emergency scenarios. The high sensitivity, simple preparation and reusability of the SERS platforms developed in this work open up the way for immediate detection of chemical warfare agents in realistic scenarios.
