Cover Story: Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) were coated with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), fabricated through template elution after polymerization, to selectively capture Cypermethrin, a pesticide molecule, denoted as Au NP/MIP. Captured molecules trapped in the MIP were then exposed to a weakened electromagnetic field produced by neighboring Au NPs. A SERS effect was created once subjected to a Raman laser, which produced a fingerprint spectrum corresponding to that of the analyte. Further evaluation of Au NP/MIP demonstrated that molecules with an almost similar structure, e.g., Permethrin, to Cypermethrin could also be detected. The mechanism behind this study was briefly illustrated. View this paper
