摘要: 为了检测水果表面农药残留，通过化学沉积-原位生长法制备Ag/棉签柔性可擦拭表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)基底。通过调控生长介质中硝酸银的浓度，得到了银纳米粒子紧密堆积的Ag/棉签复合材料。通过扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、红外光谱仪、热重分析仪对Ag/棉签复合材料的形貌、结构及其性能进行表征。利用尼尔兰作为探针分子表征了Ag/棉签复合材料的SERS性能，实现了对水果表面农药残留福美双的快速检测。结果表明，银纳米粒子直径分布在50~70 nm之间。Ag/棉签复合材料表现出优异的光谱均一性，相对标准偏差为3.72%。对尼尔兰的检出限低于10−7 mol/L。通过简单的擦拭直接检测梨不规则表面上的福美双农药残留，检出限达到10−6 mol/L。该制备方法可以简单地扩展到其他纤维素化合物，例如吸棉花和纸等。本研究提出了一种简单快速的方法用于制备廉价、环保的柔性SERS基底。Abstract: In order to detect pesticide residues on the surface of fruits, the flexible and wipeable Ag/cotton swab surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was prepared by in-situ growth process. By adjusting the concentration of silver nitrate in the growth medium, plasmonic cotton swab composite with uniform and dense Ag nanoparticles was obtained. The scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared and thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the Ag nanoparticles were decorated on the surface of cotton swab. Nile Blue was used as a probe molecule to evaluate the SERS performance of Ag/cotton swab, furthermore the composite was employed for detecting thiram. The results show that the Ag nanoparticles with size 50 to 70 nm are uniformly distributed on the surface of cotton fiber. The Ag/cotton swab composite exhibits excellent SERS uniformity, with a relative standard deviation of 3.72%. The detection limit for Nile Blue is lower than 10−7 mol/L. The plasmonic Ag/cotton swab presented excellent flexibility and adsorption capability, which enable to adsorb and detect pesticide residue from irregular surface of pear directly by simple swabbing process, the sensiti-vity could achieve 10−6 mol/L. The manufacturing method can be easily extended to other cellulosic compounds, such as absorbent cotton and paper. This research proposes a new method to manufacture cost-effective, environmentally friendly and flexible SERS substrates.
