Silver nanoparticles enabled sensitive detection of Crystal Violet using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This vibrational spectroscopy technique provided detailed structural information in an electrospray plume, matching previous fluorescence results.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Nanomaterials

Background:

  • Vibrational spectroscopy offers high specificity for analyte detection.
