Abstract
In the present work, highly sensitive Raman detection of nitenpyram using superhydrophobic filter paper as substrates is introduced. The process is simple, and efficient. By sequentially coating silver dendrites and Octyltrimethoxysilane (OTMOS) on filter paper, we produced highly active surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates which show advancing and receding water contact angles of θA/θR = 159°/156°. Nitenpyram, a type of pesticides popularly used in agriculture, can be easily detected with the detection limit as low as 1 nM using the superhydrophobic filter paper as SERS substrates, which validates their use in Raman applications.
