ABSTRACT

Formaldehyde is widely utilized across various industries such as food, textiles, and leather, yet its presence raises significant health concerns due to its irritation and carcinogenicity. Numerous methods have been developed to probe it in solution and gas states. Among them, absorption spectroscopy-based methods commonly employed. However, these methods require complex preprocessing for colored solutions to avoid interference. In response to this challenge, a novel interference-resistant detection kit leveraging surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) coupled with reaction-induced self-amplification for rapid and direct detection of formaldehyde was developed. The kit needed only ten minutes and achieved a limit of detection lower than 10−4 μg/mL with a handheld Raman spectrometer. Thanks to the kit’s reaction with formaldehyde, colloidal nanoparticles were linked to form “hot-spots” to further enhance the SERS signals. The signal demonstrated outstanding resistance to interference, including different dyes, ensuring a practical tool for direct detection of formaldehyde in complex solutions.
