Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of surface Raman enhancement detection technology, and more specifically, relates to a NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material with Raman enhancement effect, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Raman spectroscopy, as an important analytical technique, can provide fingerprint information of molecular structure and chemical bonds. However, conventional Raman scattering signals are usually very weak, limiting its application in trace analysis and other fields. The emergence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology has brought a breakthrough in solving this problem. Using SERS technology to prepare good conductor surfaces or sols of metals, such as silver, gold, or copper, the Raman scattering signal of adsorbed molecules is significantly enhanced compared to ordinary Raman scattering signals, with enhancement factors reaching up to 10. 3 ~10 6 The signal enhancement capability is several times higher, or even more. This powerful signal enhancement capability has enabled SERS technology to be widely used in many fields such as biochemical molecular detection, disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, explosives detection, trace material analysis, food safety, and forensic examination. In the biomedical field, SERS technology can achieve highly sensitive detection of biomarkers, which is helpful for the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases; in environmental monitoring, it can quickly and accurately detect pollutants in the environment, promptly identify environmental problems, and protect the ecological environment.

[0003] In SERS technology, traditional noble metal materials such as silver and gold nanostructures, due to their surface plasmon resonance properties, can generate strong local electromagnetic field enhancement effects, making them commonly used Raman enhancement substrates. However, these noble metal materials have some limitations, such as high cost, which limits their large-scale application; poor chemical stability, making them susceptible to oxidation and other reactions caused by external environmental influences, leading to performance degradation; and poor biocompatibility, which may have adverse effects on organisms in biomedical applications. Developing novel, inexpensive materials with Raman enhancement effects that are easy to prepare and have good enhancement properties has become a research hotspot and important development direction in this field.

This composite material possesses abundant sulfur vacancies and a unique spherical structure, providing more adsorption sites and enhancing the interaction with the detected molecules, thereby achieving more efficient Raman signal enhancement. Furthermore, MoS2 and NiCo2S4 form a synergistic effect, promoting electron transport and improving the overall performance of the composite material.

[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material with Raman enhancement effect is prepared by adding Mo precursor, CH4N2S and reducing agent to deionized water to obtain a mixed solution; adding Ni precursor, Co precursor and complexing agent to the mixed solution and sonicating, hydrothermally reacting at 100~250 °C, centrifuging, washing and vacuum drying.

[0010] The preparation method of the NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material with Raman enhancement effect includes the following specific steps: S1. Add the precursor of Mo, CH4N2S and reducing agent to deionized water to obtain a mixed solution; S2. Ni precursor, Co precursor and complexing agent are added to a mixed solution and sonicated. The mixture is then subjected to hydrothermal reaction at 100~250 ℃. After centrifugation, washing and vacuum drying, NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material with Raman enhancement effect is obtained.

[0011] Preferably, in step S2, the ultrasonic time is 10-60 min, the hydrothermal reaction time is 5-40 h, the centrifugation speed is 8000-10000 rpm, the centrifugation time is 1-5 min, the vacuum drying temperature is 20-90℃, and the vacuum drying time is 8-20 h.

[0014] The application of the NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material with Raman enhancement effect in surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material of this invention exhibits Raman enhancement effect. It is obtained by compositing MoS2 with NiCo2S4, which has a nanosheet structure, to obtain a NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material with a spherical structure. Compared with most commonly used noble metals (such as gold and silver), the NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material has excellent SERS performance and is inexpensive, making it a functional material with great application potential. MoS2, with its unique layered crystal structure and excellent photoelectric properties, has become a highly promising reinforcing substrate material in the field of SERS. The electron transfer capability of its abundant active sites on the sheet surface can form strong interactions with the target analyte, effectively amplifying the Raman signal and exhibiting a good SERS enhancement effect. Due to the synergistic effect at the interface of MoS2 and NiCo2S4 composite, significant structural reconstruction is triggered, generating a large number of sulfur vacancies. These sulfur vacancies enhance the adsorption capacity for target molecules. Furthermore, sulfur vacancies can form defect levels and inhibit charge carrier recombination, which allows more photoinduced charge carriers to participate in the charge transfer process. This significantly improves the SERS performance of the NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material, making it far superior to that of a single MoS2 substrate.

[0016] 2. The present invention uses a hydrothermal method to prepare NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material, which is simple and low in cost.

[0017] 3. The NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material prepared in this invention was used as a SERS substrate to detect Rhodamine 6G solutions of different concentrations. Experimental analysis showed that it exhibited a strong surface Raman enhancement effect on Rhodamine 6G, with a detection limit reaching 10. - 9 The concentration of mol / L showed good results, indicating that the NiCo2S4-MoS2 composite material has excellent SERS performance as a Raman substrate and can be used for Raman detection of organic matter.
