This study developed novel SERS substrates using monodispersed tungsten disulfide quantum dots modified silver nanospheres (Ag@WS(2)QD) for rapid and sensitive analysis of toxic agrochemicals. Ag@WS(2)QD showed uniform and stable SERS signals within 2 minutes, with a 4 times higher analytical enhancement factor compared to unmodified colloidal silver nanoparticles. Enhanced charge transfer and unique surface properties contribute to the rapid and sensitive SERS detection using Ag@WS(2)QD.
Novel SERS substrates is urgently in demand for rapid and sensitive analysis of toxic agrochemicals from food. In this work, a monodispersed tungsten disulfide quantum dots modified silver nanosphere (Ag@WS(2)QD) was prepared and used as SERS substrate. Ag@WS(2)QD generated uniform and stable SERS signals within 2 min, displaying great promise in mixing and reading detection. Compared to unmodified colloidal silver nanoparticles, 4 times higher analytical enhancement factor was found in Ag@WS(2)QD. Density functional theory calculation verified the enhanced charge transfer within the coupling systems of molecule-Ag@WS(2)QD. Besides, the unique surface properties are beneficial for the enrichment of specific molecule. Both the chemical extraction and enhanced charge transfer contributes to rapid and sensitive SERS detection of Ag@WS(2)QD. A mixing and reading SERS method for thiram from honey and four kinds of juice was developed from Ag@WS(2)QD, showing great promise for rapid and direct SERS detection for toxic agrochemicals and further applications.
