Nanoplastics, emerging as pervasive environmental pollutants, pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health due their small size potential toxicity. However, detecting trace levels of nanoplastics remains challenging because limitations in the current analytical methods. Herein, we propose a method that combines superhydrophobic enrichment with SERS analysis for aqueous environments. Superhydrophobic substrates were prepared by using liquid-liquid self-assembly method. The superhydrophobicity facilitated analyte enrichment, monolayer Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) enhanced Raman signals. detection limit probe crystal violet (CV) this substrate reached nanomolar (10-9 M), an RSD 9.96% across 40 × μm2 area (441 spots), demonstrating excellent sensitivity reproducibility. This successfully detected polystyrene (PS) plastics ranging from 30 1000 nm water concentrations low 0.03 μg/mL. Additionally, nanoscale polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles bottled samples. approach offers promising platform analyzing samples addresses needs monitoring.
