Abstract
In this work, a facile synthesis method for dopamine carbon dots-based Au nanoparticles (DA-CDs/AuNPs) by seed gold method was reported as the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) booster. DA-CDs with rich in surface functional groups was synthesized using dopamine, citric acid and ethylenediamine as precursors by a facile hydrothermal method, and can be used as the capping agents and reducing agents for the synthesis of DA-CDs/AuNPs. Due to the electromagnetic “hot spots” effect, DA-CDs/AuNPs with core–shell structure exhibited strong SERS activity. Based on the specific interaction of DA-CDs/AuNPs and fenamidone, a detection method of fenamidone was established with a low detection limit of 0.05 μg/mL. Finally, the SERS sensor was successfully applied to the detection of fenamidone in fruit with recoveries between 90.6 % and 98.7 %. The method here proposed can be reliably applied for fenamidone detection on fruits.
