The invention discloses a preparation method of a nano-silver SERS probe for TNT detection. The preparation method comprises the following steps of preparing a silver
nanorod, and forming a single-layer self-
assembly space structure and a double-layer self-
assembly space structure of the silver
nanorod on a
glass slide in sequence. The preparation process comprises the following two steps of firstly, preparing the silver
nanorod, immersing the
glass slide into an
ethanol solution of polyvinyl
pyridine and then immersing the glass into into silver
sol, forming a single-layer self-
assembly silver nanorod on the surface of the
glass slide, immersing the single-layer self-assembly silver nanorod into a 2,4-dimercaptoaniline solution, forming a 2,4-dimercaptoaniline molecular layer on the surface of the silver nanorod through the action of an Ag-S bond, and lastly, immersing into the silver
sol to prepare the nano-silver SERS probe with the double-layer
spatial structure. According to the method, high-selectivity identification and high-sensitivity detection of the trace TNT are realized, and a
detection limit is 10<-11> mol / L. The method is simple to prepare, low in cost, good in selectivity and high sensitivity, and the enhancement effects of nano-silver substrates with different shapes on SERS are compared.
