    Abstract:
    Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) pollution in the water system has seriously endangered human health and the environment. Herein, we propose a rapid, simple and sensitive surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) sensor with the bifunctional negatively charged gold nanoparticles ((-)AuNPs) which employ as not only the oxidoreductase-like nanozyme but also the substrate to determine Cr(VI). (-)AuNPs effectively promoted the conversion of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into the blue product of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine diamine (oxTMB) in the presence of Cr(VI) and generated a strong SERRS signal at 1611 cm-1. According to this principle, the Raman intensity difference at 1611 cm-1 exhibited a satisfactory linear relationship with the logarithm of the Cr(VI) concentration from 10-5 to 10-9 M with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 nM. In addition, the possible SERRS enhancement mechanism, selectivity and reproducibility were also investigated. What's more, the SERRS platform was successfully applied in the complicated water samples, which was anticipated to become a promising analytical method for monitoring of Cr(VI) in the environment.
