Multifunctional SERS substrates of Fe3O4@Ag2Se/Ag: construction, properties and application

摘要

In this work, Fe3O4@Ag2Se/Ag nanocomposites were fabricated on a self-cleaning and recyclable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate via a simple and ingenious precipitation shift reaction. The superparamagnetic property of Fe3O4 facilitates the efficient purification of products with the assistance of an external magnetic field. The as-prepared substrates have excellent stability and show no significant loss after six recycles for the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB). The unique Raman enhancement effect of Fe3O4@Ag2Se/Ag substrates indicates that RhB can be detected at a concentration as low as 1 × 10~(-8) M. Furthermore, the experimental results also suggest that these nanocomposites may be promising multifunctional SERS substrate candidates for environmental monitoring, cleaning and so on.
