Abstract

Advances in flexible SERS substrates has made it possible to approach the ultimate goal of rapid in-situ monitoring of fruit and vegetable safety, but its vulnerability under laser ablation results in low utilization. In order to solve this problem, a 3D framework of TiO2-doped PVDF\\PVP polymer was utilized to self-assemble gold-silver core-shell nanorods (Au@Ag NRs) to prepare a flexible SERS substrate with good physical stability and self-cleaning properties. This substrate showed excellent detection limit and recyclability after the detection of three pesticide residues in apple peel. The LOD of methyl-parathion (MP) was as low as 0.037 ng/cm2, with an RSD of 5.61 % for 5 cycle-detection. The recoveries of two additional pesticides thiram (TMTD) and chlorpyrifos (CPF) were 86.32 %−112.47 %. We hoped that this research will contribute to providing a recyclable and facile method for in-situ analysis of fruit and vegetable surface residues and functional manufacture of flexible SERS substrates.
