Description

Reproducible detection of uranyl, an important biological and environmental contaminant, from complex matrices using field-compatible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates will be demonstrated. Traditionally, non-specific binding of interfering species limits detects of molecules such as uranyl. Herein, this is overcome using composite nanomaterials design and rigorous sample analysis workflow analysis. Synergistic approaches for uranyl isolation and SERS detection is promising for real-world sample detection and eliminates the need of radioactive tracers and extensive sample pretreatment steps. While uranyl is a difficult molecule to detect in complex matrices, hybrid nanomaterials and carefully designed experimental approaches facilitate detectability in a reproducible manner.
