title: Gold nanoparticle-loaded filter paper: a recyclable dip-catalyst for real-time reaction monitoring by surface enhanced Raman scattering.
abstract: We report a robust and recyclable 'dip-catalyst' based on a gold nanoparticle (Au NP)-loaded filter paper composite, prepared by a simple dip-coating process using concentrated Au NP suspensions in toluene. While acting as catalysts, the composites display excellent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiency, allowing the real-time monitoring of chemical reactions.
