| Abstract | The artistry and the amazingly beautiful hierarchical three-dimensional (3D) patterning of diatoms make them ideal biological scaffolds. Here, fraction-free and ultra-high-purity diatomaceous earth has been successfully prepared by low speed centrifugation in saturated sucrose solution and calcination at 600 °C for 2 h. The prepared citrate-stabilized 18 ± 2.4 and 32 ± 5.4 nm Au nanoparticles were singly, uniformly and densely self-assembled onto amino-functionalized diatomaceous earth templates following their surface morphologies via electrostatic interactions, during which the control experiment and appropriate parameter exploration were performed. The formed 18 ± 2.4 and 32 ± 5.4 nm Au nanoparticle coated diatomaceous earth fine-grained composite materials were pressed into hard, button-like tablets with a fixed diameter of 13 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, and then the two fabricated types of button-like portable tablets were used for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection, and their enhancement factors (EFs), SERS reproducibility and long-term stability were testified using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as the probe molecule. The button-like portable tablet composed of diatomaceous earth-templated 32 ± 5.4 nm Au nanoparticle arrays had a higher EF and was successfully applied to SERS analysis of the trace chemical composition of eccrine sweat in latent fingerprints. It may reveal the medical condition of an individual by analyzing the obtained SERS spectra, suggesting that the SERS-based methodology, due to its high sensitivity, has a potentially wide range of applications in fields that need trace detection, such as medical diagnostics and forensic investigations. Moreover, the button-like, 3D periodically ordered tablet as a portable SERS substrate composed of a synergistic combination of diatomaceous earth with Au nanoparticles in this work is robust, easy to carry around, and applicable to on-site SERS detection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
