description Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology has been regarded as a most efficient and sensitive strategy for the detection of pollutants at ultra-low concentrations. Fabrication of SERS substrates is of key importance in obtaining the homogeneous and sensitive SERS signals. Cellulose filter papers loaded with plasmonic metal NPs are well known as cost-effective and efficient paper-based SERS substrates. In this manuscript, face-to-face assembly of silver nanoplates via solvent-evaporation strategies on the cellulose filter papers has been developed for the SERS substrates. Furthermore, these developed paper-based SERS substrates are utilized for the ultra-sensitive detection of the rhodamine 6G dye and thiram pesticides. Our theoretical studies reveal the creation of high density hotspots, with a huge localized and enhanced electromagnetic field, near the corners of the assembled structures, which justifies the ultrasensitive SERS signal in the fabricated paper-based SERS platform. This work provides an excellent paper-based SERS substrate for practical applications, and one which can also be beneficial to human health and environmental safety.
