A flexible 3D ordered SERS sensor for rapid and reliable detection of pesticide residues in fruits†
Abstract
We fabricated flexible, three-dimensional (3D) ordered silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays decorated with high-density silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the sensitive and reproducible detection of pesticide residues. These sensors demonstrated a detection limit of 10−9 M for methyl parathion (MPT) on curved surfaces.
