文摘We report a simple approach for the fabrication of cheap but effective surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) active substrates consisting of natural egg shell membrane(ESM) grafted with Ag-nanoparticles(Ag-NPs) decorated carbon nanotubes(CNTs)(denoted as Ag-NPs@CNTs@ESM),via ultrasonic adsorption of CNTs on the ESM and the subsequent Ag-sputtering.As high density Ag-NPs were sputtered onto each CNT anchored on the ESM nanofiber,homogeneous nanoscaled gaps between the neighboring Ag-NPs were achieved,leading to high SERS activity with excellent SERS signal homogeneity over the whole membrane.Using the Ag-NPs@CNTs@ESM membranes as SERS-substrates,methyl parathion(one of the most hazardous insecticides),PCB-3(one congener of polychlorinated biphenyls belonging to persistent organic pollutants) and bovine serum albumin(BSA,biomolecules) with a concentration down to 10-11 M,10-6 M and 0.1 ppb were detected respectively,showing promising potentials in rapid trace detection of environmental pollutants and biochemicals.
