研究目的
To synthesize a novel bi-functional yolk-shell SiO2@TiO2/CDs nanocomposite for use as both an efficient SERS substrate and photocatalyst, enhancing the detection of organic dyes like rhodamine 6G and the degradation of pollutants like dinitraphenols.
研究成果
The yolk-shell SiO2@TiO2/CDs nanocomposite demonstrates excellent performance as both a SERS substrate with high sensitivity and reproducibility for R6G detection down to 6×10^-8 M, and as a photocatalyst with efficient degradation of DNP achieving 96% rate in 120 minutes and good cycle stability. This multifunctional material shows promise for applications in environmental monitoring and pollution control.
研究不足
The study may have limitations in scalability for industrial applications, potential variability in nanocomposite synthesis, and the need for further optimization under real-world conditions. The use of specific chemicals and equipment might restrict broader applicability.
