Sensors for Detection of the Synthetic Dye Rhodamine in Environmental Monitoring Based on SERS

Abstract

This article presents a review of many types of SERS sensors for food safety and environmental pollution monitoring based on detecting rhodamine. It introduces the basic concepts of substrates, enhancement factors, and mechanisms, devices’ sensors integrated with the microstructure. Here, we review the state-of-the-art research in the field of rhodamine monitoring and highlight the applications of SERS sensors. The trends in the development of substrates for different applications have been mentioned with the aim of providing an overview of the development of different SERS substrates. Thus, an efficient approach for rhodamine detection has a good perspective for application in environmental monitoring.
