Bimetallic nanoparticles of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) were synthesized at room temperature using Curcumin. Reduction process of silver and gold ions with different molar ratios leads to production of different nanostructures including alloys and core-shells. Produced nanoparticles were characterized simultaneously with FTIR, UV/vis. spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX). UV/vis. optical absorption spectra of as synthesized nanoparticles reveals presence of surface palsmon resonance (SPR) of both silver at (425 nm) and gold at (540 nm) with small shift and broadness of gold band after mixing with resucing and capping agent in natural extract which suggest presence of bimetallic nano structure (Au/Ag). FTIR and EDAX data approve the presence of bimetallic nano structure combined with curcumin extract. TEM micrographs shows that silver and gold can be synthesized separately in the form of nano particles using curcumin extract. Synthesis of gold nano particles in presence of silver effectively enhance and control formation of bi-metallic structure.

Compared to monometallic nanoparticles, bimetallic nanoparticles have attracted wide attention due to their physical properties, excellent catalytic activity, high regioselectivity, selectivity, and stability. Here, we have first synthesized 10 different kinds of graphene quantum dot–stabilized Cu-based bimetallic nanoparticles (including CoCu, NiCu, RuCu, RhCu, PdCu, AgCu, IrCu, AuCu, FeCu, and PtCu) and compared their catalytic activities in a CuAAC click reaction. Among them, RhCu provides the highest yield of the desired product in the click reaction (77%). The catalytic activity of these MCu in the click reaction is in the order: RhCu > PdCu > AuCu > CoCu > PtCu > AgCu > NiCu > CuNP > RuCu > FeCu > IrCu.

An explosion in the production of substrates for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has occurred using novel designs of plasmonic nanostructures (e.g., nanoparticle self-assembly), new plasmonic materials such as bimetallic nanomaterials (e.g., Au/Ag) and hybrid nanomaterials (e.g., metal/semiconductor), and new non-plasmonic nanomaterials. The novel plasmonic nanomaterials can enable a better charge transfer or a better confinement of the electric field inducing a SERS enhancement by adjusting, for instance, the size, shape, spatial organization, nanoparticle self-assembly, and nature of nanomaterials. The new non-plasmonic nanomaterials can favor a better charge transfer caused by atom defects, thus inducing a SERS enhancement. In last two years (2019–2020), great insights in the fields of design of plasmonic nanosystems based on the nanoparticle self-assembly and new plasmonic and non-plasmonic nanomaterials were realized. This mini-review is focused on the nanoparticle self-assembly, bimetallic nanoparticles, nanomaterials based on metal-zinc oxide, and other nanomaterials based on metal oxides and metal oxide-metal for SERS sensing.

Self-assembled metallic nanoparticles are attractive candidates for plasmonic heating, non-linear optical switching [1], bio-analytical, chemical [2], catalytic , and surface enhanced RAMAN scattering (SERS) [3]. These applications are strongly dependent on the shape, size, composition, size distribution and volume fraction of nanoparticles. Here, self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was obtained by low energy sputter deposition on Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES ; choline chloride and urea) surfaces and elucidated by Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscopy (Cryo-TEM) and UV-Vis. Data analysis shows the formation of spherically shaped AuNPs of 5 nm in diameter with narrow size distributions. Moreover, analysis reveals that prolongation of gold-sputtering time has no effect on the size of the particles and only the concentration of AuNPs increases linearly. The growth of the maxima in evaluated structure factor S(q) and the distance distribution function G(r) at higher concentrations of AuNPs is caused by the interference effects. Moreover, it indicates that the particles are not arranged in random but have a self-assembly in short-range order. Prolonged gold-sputtering time leads to increase in the ordering of the AuNPs with strong interactions. It is proposed that the self-assembly of AuNPs is due to the ionic liquid template effects of DES and the balancing physical forces. Moreover, a disulfide based stabilizer bis ((2-Mercaptoethyl) trimethylammonium) disulfide dichloride was applied to supress the self-assembly. The stabilizer even reverses the self-assembled or agglomerated AuNPs back to stable 5 nm individual particles. The templating effect of DES is compared with the non-templating solvent Castor oil. Our results will also pave a way to understand and control self-assembly of metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles.

Wall morphogenesis in higher plants is a problem still open to controversy. Until now the possibility of a transmembrane control and the involvement of microtubules were mostly envisaged. Self-assembly processes have been observed in the case of walls of Chlamydomonas and bacteria. Spontaneous gelling interactions between xanthan and galactomannan from Ceratonia have been analyzed very recently. The present work provides indications that some processes of spontaneous aggregation could occur in higher plants during the formation and expansion of cell wall.Observations were performed on hypocotyl of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) for which growth characteristics and wall composition have been previously defined.In situ, the walls of actively growing cells (primary walls) show an ordered three-dimensional organization (fig. 1). The wall is typically polylamellate with multifibrillar layers alternately transverse and longitudinal. Between these layers intermediate strata exist in which the orientation of microfibrils progressively rotates. Thus a progressive change in the morphogenetic activity occurs.
