| Abstract Scope |
The detection and quantification of radionuclides are of paramount importance in environmental monitoring, nuclear safety, and medical diagnostics. Composite plasmonic nanomaterials, when combined with titanium-based components such as monosodium titanates or titanium oxide, present a promising approach to enhancing the sensitivity and selectivity of these measurements. This study explores the synthesis and application of composite plasmonic nanomaterials-monosodium titanates (CPNM-T) for sensing radionuclides via Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). The CPNM-T exhibits unique optical properties that significantly amplify the Raman signal of adsorbed radionuclide species. We investigate the synthesis methods, structural characterization, and SERS performance of these composite materials. Our results demonstrate that CPNM-T composites can provide rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive detection of radionuclides at trace levels. This work supports the development of advanced sensing platforms for environmental and safety monitoring and may open new avenues for the application of SERS in nuclear chemistry. |
