▎ 摘  要

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyamide (Nylon) and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) filter membranes were coated with in-situ synthesized silver nanoparticle/reduced graphene oxide (AgNP/rGO) nanocomposite by vacuum filtration, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance of the prepared substrates was investigated using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a probe molecule. Analyte solutions were applied by drop casting and penetrated into the flexible PVDF and Nylon-based substrates within minutes, enabling very fast SERS measurements; however, this step took up to 2 hrs in the rigid AAO-based substrate. Scanning electron microscopy and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping results showed that filter membrane surfaces were completely covered with AgNP/rGO nanocomposite at which AgNPs were uniformly distributed on rGO flakes; however, some large, partially reduced or unreduced GO flakes decorated with AgNP agglomerates (AgNP/GO) were also observed. Higher SERS signals were generally obtained from these AgNP/GO flakes compared to the AgNP/rGO coated regions, since they contain higher amount of oxygen-rich functional groups which enabled a higher chemical and electromagnetic enhancement in SERS signals. All the substrates could detect 10(-7) M R6G even after being stored in a vacuum desiccator for 3 months, indicating that AgNP/rGO coated filter membranes are promising as stable SERS substrates thanks to their long shelf life.
