The present invention relates to the fields of materials,
optics and environmental detection, and specifically to a silver-coated
optical fiber Raman probe and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein
methimazole is used as a Raman
signal molecule to realize the detection of Cr(VI). The silver-coated
optical fiber Raman probe of the present invention realizes ultra-sensitive detection of Cr(VI) and excellent
antioxidant performance by functionalization with
methimazole. The preparation method of the present invention has simple process, high sensitivity, good
repeatability, good stability and good anti-interference. By adopting stannous
chloride-assisted
solvent thermal method, the
morphology control of silver nanoparticles on the end face of the
optical fiber and the strong interface adhesion between the optical
fiber and the silver nanomaterial are realized. Specifically, the stannous
chloride pretreatment process promotes the dense and uniform growth of silver nanoparticles on the end face of the optical
fiber on the one hand, and enhances the interface adhesion between the optical
fiber and the silver nanoparticles on the other hand. Ultra-sensitive detection of Cr(VI) and excellent
antioxidant performance are realized by functionalization with
methimazole.
