Abstract:
Au/Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by assembling Au nanoparticles (NPs) with Fe3O4/GO which were obtained by loading amino-modified Fe3O4 NPs on graphene oxides, and the Au/Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites were used as a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate to enrich and detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Firstly, rhodamine B (RhB) was used as a probe molecule to investigate the effect of Au NPs size on SERS performance and it was found that Au NPs with an average particle size of 40 nm had the best Raman enhancement effect. The SERS detection performance was improved with the increase of Au loadings and the optimal mass fraction of Au in GO/Au composites was 20%. Then, the effect of each component of Au/Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites on SERS was explored by using pyrene as a probe molecule. The results show that Au NPs played a major role in the enhancement of the Raman signal according to the electromagnetic enhancement mechanism and GO could not only enrich the PAHs through π-π interaction but also generate strong chemical enhancement to Raman signal. The existence of Fe3O4 was favor to the quick separation of substrate from the solutions, which greatly simplified the detection procedure and facilitated the cycle use of the substrate. The detection limit of pyrene was 10-8 mol•L-1 which is significantly lower than that of ordinary Raman, and it is expected to be used for the enrichment and detection of trace PAHs in the environment. © 2018, Science Press.
