CH23189Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate based on gold nanostars–silver nanostars for imidacloprid detection
This manuscript reports the first introduction of gold nanostars on silver nanostars surface as the Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active elements to increase the SERS response towards imidacloprid pesticide. This combination of two metal nanostars showed an enhancement in imidacloprid signal at low concentrations on the AuNs/AgNs surface when compared to the signal on the surface composed of a single type of metal nanostars. The substrates were shown to be stable over a month in storage and can be reused many times. (Image credit: N. Abu Bakar.)
