Substrate materials with high sensitivity and storage stability are crucial for the practical analytical application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques. In this work, a SERS-active substrate (Si/Au@Ag/ZIF-67) was fabricated with a metal-organic framework (ZIF-67) on a plasmonic surface (Si/Au@Ag) self-assembly. The as-prepared material combined the properties of the abundant hotspots of the Au@Ag nanoparticles and the excellent adsorption performance of ZIF-67 for organic molecules. The synergy leads to high sensitivity of the composite substrate with a low detection limit for 4-aminothiophenol (a typical Raman reporter molecule) down to 2.0 × 10 M and the analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of the SERS substrate is 3.4 × 10. Moreover, the substrates exhibited good repeatability, high reproducibility, and reliable stability due to the MOF coating. The SERS signal was stable after 60 days of storage at room temperature. Ultimately, the optimal Si/Au@Ag/ZIF-67 was applied as a SERS sensor to analyze thiram, and the results showed a linear concentration range from 10 to 10 M with good linearity ( = 0.9934). The recoveries of thiram in spiked apple juice were in the range of 95.7-102.3%, with relative standard deviations less than 4.3%. These results predict that the proposed SERS substrates may hold great potential for the detection of environmental and food pollution in practical applications.
具有高灵敏度和存储稳定性的基底材料对于表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)技术的实际分析应用至关重要。在这项工作中,通过在等离子体表面(Si/Au@Ag)上自组装金属有机框架(ZIF-67)制备了一种SERS活性基底(Si/Au@Ag/ZIF-67)。所制备的材料结合了Au@Ag纳米颗粒丰富的热点特性和ZIF-67对有机分子的优异吸附性能。这种协同作用导致复合基底具有高灵敏度,对4-氨基硫酚(一种典型的拉曼报告分子)的检测限低至2.0×10⁻⁸ M,且SERS基底的分析增强因子(AEF)为3.4×10⁶。此外,由于MOF涂层,基底表现出良好的重复性、高再现性和可靠的稳定性。在室温下储存60天后,SERS信号仍然稳定。最终,将最佳的Si/Au@Ag/ZIF-67用作SERS传感器来分析福美双,结果表明线性浓度范围为10⁻⁷至10⁻⁵ M,线性良好(R² = 0.9934)。加标苹果汁中福美双的回收率在95.7 - 102.3%范围内,相对标准偏差小于4.3%。这些结果表明,所提出的SERS基底在实际应用中检测环境和食品污染方面可能具有巨大潜力。
