Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) can serve as an efficient surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform for in situ detection of trace targets. In this study, a highly reproducible SERS platform based on TEMPO-oxidized CNFs (T-CNFs) was fabricated by the ion-exchange. Self-assembly of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was accomplished in only 120 s. The abundant carboxylate groups and good hydrophilicity of T-CNFs facilitated uniform and dense loading of AgNPs over the surface area. The obtained SERS substrate greatly enhanced the Raman signal of different pesticides, and the detection limits of thiram and thiabendazole were 5.81 × 10 M and 9.63 × 10 M, respectively. SERS substrate could produce homogeneous Raman-enhanced signals (relative standard deviation (RSD) = 6.59 %). In addition, due to the good flexibility, SERS substrate could collect and detect pesticide residues from the surface of apples. The intensities of Raman characteristic peak at 1384 cm showed a good linear relationship with the analyte concentrations (0.96 ng/cm-9600 ng/cm). The constructed SERS substrate provided a theoretical basis for the preliminary rapid screening of hazardous chemical residues in food, which was of great value for the SERS technique to become a routine on-site analysis method for pesticide residues.

Background: Sensitive and accurate detection of important cancer markers MicroRNAs (miRNAs) is critical to prevent and treat disease. Among many detection techniques, surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) has attracted much attention due to its advantages such as narrow spectral peak, low interference and non-destructive detection. Interestingly, non-noble metal SERS substrates show good prospects due to their outstanding spectral reproducibility and biocompatibility.

The adverse effects of Al ions on human health necessitate the development of ultra-sensitive detection methods for Al ions. In this regard, the compact and portable design of the detection substrate is of utmost importance for achieving in-situ and sensitive detection of Al ions. In our study, we have successfully developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) that was modified with histidine (His) and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) for the SERS detection of Al ions.

The widespread accumulation of androgenic steroid endocrine disruptors in water and food has garnered increasing attention due to their significant risks to ecosystems and human health. These steroids, which cannot be completely eliminated, highlight the urgent need for advanced detection technologies. In this study, we present a novel emulsion-induced interface-anisotropic assembly strategy to synthesize bowl-like mesoporous polydopamine (PDA) particles, which exhibit high sensitivity in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection.

The combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy in the ultraviolet spectral region (UV-SERS) with resonance Raman scattering enhancement, referred to as UV-SERRS, enables ultrasensitive and reliable detection of biomolecules because of the strong electronic transition of many biologically important compounds in UV region. Adenine solution studies by UV-Raman spectroscopy revealed pre-resonant enhancement of various modes by 2-16 times at 325 nm excitation wavelength. Adsorption and structural properties of adenine on a cobalt electrode were probed by UV-SERS.
