Abstract
Molecular imprinting and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) were used to prepare a core-shell Ag@molecularly imprinting polymer (MIP) for the determination of p-nitroaniline. The obtained Ag@MIP exhibits a detection limit of 10−12 M, which demonstrates higher sensitivity toward p-nitroaniline than conventional approaches. In addition, the Ag@MIP shows good recyclability, and simultaneously offers better stability and high SERS activity for recognizing target molecules. To characterize the high SERS activity of the SERS-MIP hybrid material, a possible mechanism for the SERS substrate is proposed involving enhancement by the MIP. This study is expected to provide an alternative approach for the determination of p-nitroaniline in aqueous environments.
