Highly Sensitive Silver Nanorod Arrays for Rapid Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Detection of Acetamiprid Pesticides

The determination of pesticide residue on agricultural products is increasingly important.Exposure to pesticides can cause severe acute reactions in humans, including aplastic anemia and leukemia.In this work, we developed a rapid and sensitive method to detect acetamiprid pesticide residue based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering.Silver nanorod (AgNR) arrays were fabricated by oblique angle deposition technology and were used as SERS substrates.Prior to detection, the AgNR arrays were cleaned with nitric acid solution or a mixture of methanol and acetone.Compared to the unwashed AgNR arrays, the AgNR arrays washed with methanol and acetone shows a signal enhancement 1000 times greater than the unwashed AgNR array due to the effective removal of the impurities on its surface.The limit of detection of acetamiprid was determined to be 0.05 mg/L.In addition, the molecular structure of acetamiprid was simulated and the corresponding vibration modes of the characteristic bands of acetamiprid were calculated by density function theory.To demonstrate its practical application, the AgNRs array substrates were applied successfully to the rapid identification of acetamiprid residue on a cucumber's surface.These results confirmed possibility of utilizing the AgNRs SERS substrates as a new method for highly sensitive pesticide residue detection.     

Growth and Characterization of [001] ZnO Nanorod Array on ITO Substrate with Electric Field Assisted Nucleation

This paper reports direct growth of [001] ZnO nanorod arrays on ITO substrate from aqueous solution with electric field assisted nucleation, followed with thermal annealing. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that nanorods have wurtzite crystal structure. The diameter of ZnO nanorods was 60–300 nm and the length was up to 2.5 μm depending on the growth condition. Photoluminescence spectra showed a broad emission band spreading from 500 to 870 nm, which suggests that ZnO nanorods have a high density of oxygen interstitials. Low and nonlinear electrical conductivity of ZnO nanorod array was observed, which was ascribed to non-ohmic contact between top electrode and ZnO nanorods and the low concentration of oxygen vacancies.     

Hydrothermal growth of well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays: Dependence of morphology and alignment ordering upon preparing conditions

Well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays were prepared on substrates by hydrothermal growth under different conditions. The effect of preparing conditions on the deposition of ZnO nanorods was systematically studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy. It is demonstrated that the growth conditions such as pre-treatment of the substrates, growth temperature, deposition time and the concentration of the precursors have great influence on the morphology and the alignment ordering of ZnO nanorod arrays. Pre-treatment of substrates, including dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles and subsequent annealing, not only plays a main role in governing the rod diameter, but also greatly improves the rod orientation. Although the rod diameter and its distribution are mainly determined by pre-coated ZnO nanoparticles, they can also be monitored to some extent by changing the concentration of the precursors. The growth temperature has a little influence on the orientation of nanorods but it has great impact on their aspect ratio and the photoluminescent property. Kinetic studies show that the growth of ZnO nanorods contains two distinct step: a fast steps within the first hour, in which the nanorods tend to be short and wide, and a slow step, in which long rods with high aspect ratio are obtained.     

Effect of growth time on Ti-doped ZnO nanorods prepared by low-temperature chemical bath deposition

Ti-doped ZnO nanorod arrays were grown onto Si substrate using chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at 93 °C. To investigate the effect of time deposition on the morphological, and structural properties, four Ti-doped ZnO samples were prepared at various deposition periods of time (2, 3.5, 5, and 6.5 h). FESEM images displayed high-quality and uniform nanorods with a mean length strongly dependent upon deposition time; i.e. it increases for prolonged growth time. Additionally, EFTEM images reveal a strong erosion on the lateral side for the sample prepared for 6.5 h as compared to 5 h. This might be attributed to the dissolution reaction of ZnO with for prolonged growth time. XRD analysis confirms the formation of a hexagonal wurtzite-type structure for all samples with a preferred growth orientation along the c-axis direction. The (100) peak intensity was enhanced and then quenched, which might be the result of an erosion on the lateral side of nanorods as seen in EFTEM. This study confirms the important role of growth time on the morphological features of Ti-doped ZnO nanorods prepared using CBD.
