This work presents a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and density functional
theory (DFT) study of a fipronil adsorbed on colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A …

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of fonofos, an organophosphorous
pesticide (OPP), were recorded using citrate‐reduced silver (Ag) and gold (Au) colloidal …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has a unique fingerprint spectrum, which
allows for rapid, highly sensitive, and non-destructive detection without the need for sample …

The large use of herbicides applied in the control of agricultural pests has become a serious
environmental problem. One of the concerns is the long persistence of these contaminants …

The application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) as analytical tool remains a
challenge due signal intensity fluctuations, which depends on experimental parameters …

Glyphosate is a wide spread organophosphate herbicide whose use and associated risks
are strongly debated. Many countries are regulating its use in field and it is often found in …

Carbendazim (MBC) is a fungicide widely used in agriculture, and there are serious
concerns regarding the health risks that could be caused by this fungicide. Here, we explore …

Access to clean water is a pressing challenge affecting millions of lives and the aquatic body
of the Earth. Sensitive detection of pollutants such as pesticides is particularly important to …

Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide commonly used in agriculture and residential
applications. In this paper, we reported a novel label-free surface-enhanced Raman …

The interaction between polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and the metal atoms on the surface of
