Abstract:
Herein, we proposed a simple one-pot sol-thermal strategy to prepare a highly sensitive and reproducible SERS substrate. The silver-doped hydroxyapatite nanocomposite (HAp/Ag) could suppress the oxidation of silver nanoparticles, which endow the SERS substrate with good stability and reproducibility. Due to the strong interaction between the HAp/Ag substrate and the analytes, a stronger Raman signal generated during the process of SERS detection. In particular, the HAp/Ag substrate enabled the determination of rhodamine 6G (R6G) and crystal violet (CV), and the limits of detection (LOD) were low at 10-6 M and 10-5 M, respectively. In addition, the HAp/Ag substrate could be used for the quantitative analysis of CV in wastewater with a good linear relationship between 10-2 and 10-5 M. In this context, the HAp/Ag substrate combines the superior properties of both Ag NPs and HAp particles, providing a potential method for monitoring the environment and building a convenient SERS platform to detect pollutants in wastewater.
