Detect, remove and re-use: Sensing and degradation pesticides via 3D tilted ZMRs/Ag arrays

The objective of this study was to design a versatile and reusable pesticide detection surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate in combination with SERS enhancement and self-cleaning properties. In this paper, we present an inexpensive way to synthesize three-dimensional tilted ZnO micron rods with an Ag hierarchical structure (ZMRs/Ag arrays). Although expensive materials and complex methods were not used, the detection limit of...
