The Ag/PPy@PEDOT:PSS film was used as a Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERs) substrate to directly detect the low concentration of sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate (SFDS) molecules in solution. We prepared the PPy@PEDOT:PSS film by electrochemical potentiostatic (ECP) method and then directly grew Ag nanoparticles on its surface to prepare the SERs substrate of Ag/PPy@PEDOT:PSS film. The results showed that with the increase of depositional time of Ag nanoparticles, accordingly, the size and density of Ag nanoparticles could be increased on the film surface, and their SERs effect was also enhanced gradually; this SERs substrate could sensitively detect the SFDS molecules in aqueous solution. Moreover, the minimum detection limit was up to 1 ng/mL. This preparing and detecting method of SERs substrates provides a new way for the preparation of high sensitivity SERs substrate and for direct and rapid detection of low concentration of SFDS molecules in food and drug.

We studied a Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERs) film by self-assembled deposition of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of PPy@PEDOT:PSS films to detect melamine molecules. The PPy@PEDOT:PSS film was prepared using an electrochemical polymerization method in a mixture solution of PPy and PEDOT:PSS. Then, Ag nanoparticles were directly deposited on the surface of PPy@PEDOT:PSS films by a chemical self-assembly method as an active SERs substrate to detect melamine molecules. The results showed that the density of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of PPy@PEDOT:PSS film was gradually increased due to the increase of depositional time of Ag nanoparticles. Accordingly, The SERs effect was also substantially enhanced. The signal of melamine was increased up to 440 times. The melamine molecules at 6.4 ng/ml concentration could be clearly identified. This preparing method of SERs film and detecting method of melamine molecules provide a new strategy for the design and application of chemical sensors and bio-sensors.
