A Highly Sensitive SERS and RRS Coupled Di-Mode Method for CO Detection Using Nanogolds as Catalysts and Bifunctional Probes

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a commonly poisonous gas.It is important to detect CO in daily life.Herein, a new and sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) coupled di-mode method was developed for CO, based on gold nano-enzyme catalysis and gold nanoprobes.CO can react with HAuCl4 to generate gold nanopa
