Silver nanostar films for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of the pesticide imidacloprid.

ABSTRACT: Strategies for synthetic control of anisotropic metal nanostructures have grown in recent years in part due to their great potential for application as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing substrates. It has been shown that SERS using silver substrates is a powerful tool for identification and qualification of trace chemical analysis on the basis of their unique molecular vibrations. In this work, we synthesized star-shaped silver nanostructures and fabricated SERS substrates to use the SERS enhancement of the Raman signal to detect neonicotinoid pesticides. These silver nanostar substrates were prepared by assembling the nanostar particles on a glass substrate surface using a self-assembly technique with various layers of silver nanostars film.
