title: Sensitively monitoring photodegradation process of organic dye molecules by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy based on Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2@Ag particle.
abstract: Photodegradation of organic dye molecules has attracted extensive attention because of their high toxicity to water resources. Compared with traditional UV-visible spectroscopy, SERS technology can reflect more sensitively the catalytic degradation process occurring on the surface of the catalysts. In this paper, we report the synthesis and structure of Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2@Ag composite, which integrates SERS active Ag nanostructure with catalytically active titania. The degradation of the typical dye molecule crystal violet (CV), as an example, is investigated in the presence of the as-prepared Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2@Ag composite structure, which exhibits high catalytic activity and good SERS performance. At the same time, renewable photocatalytic activity was also investigated.
