Abstract
[Objective] To establish a surface -enhanced Raman scattering (SERS ) sensing method based on AuPt bimetallic nanozymes for the detection of thiamethoxam (TMX ) residues in agricultural products. [Methods] SiO2-supported AuPt bimetallic nanozymes were prepared using a reduction method. The excellent peroxidase -like activity of the nanozymes was utilized to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3', 5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB ) by H2O2 to generate oxidized TMB (ox-TMB ). The Raman signal of ox -TMB was enhanced by the localized surface plasmon resonance effect of the AuPt bimetallic nanostructure. Based on the inhibitory effect of TMX on acetylcholinesterase (AChE ) activity, the generation amount of ox -TMB in the system was regulated, and quantitative analysis of TMX was achieved by measuring the intensity of the characteristic peak at 1 607 cm-1. [Results] The prepared AuPt bimetallic nanozymes exhibited good morphology, stability, and catalytic activity. Under optimal conditions, the TMX concentration showed a good linear relationship with the SERS characteristic peak intensity at 1 607 cm-1 within the range of 0.1~100.0 μg/L (R2=0.994 9). The limit of detection was 0.066 μg/L. The recoveries of spiked actual samples ranged from 96.0% to 103.6%, with relative standard deviations of 3.0%~4.4%. [Conclusion] The developed SERS sensing platform exhibited good sensitivity, stability, anti -interference capability, and practical application potential.
