The invention belongs to the technical field of SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) detection, and relates to a preparation method of an Ag-Fe3O4 composite SERS substrate and application of the Ag-Fe3O4 composite SERS substrate in monitoring trace pollutants in water. Based on a plasma-semiconductor synergistic enhancement mechanism, cubic Fe3O4 nano particles with exposed {100} crystal faces are synthesized through a hydrothermal method, and the cubic Fe3O4 nano particles and Ag nano particles are subjected to ultrasonic-stirring to construct the Schottky heterojunction.
