Benzotriazole (BTAH) has been used for decades as corrosion inhibitor and antifreeze. Since it is fairly soluble in water but very stable and can only be partly removed from wastewater treatment plants, it represents a threat to the environment and thus also to human health. Therefore, it is of uttermost importance to have a detection method capable of monitoring the concentration of BTAH at trace level on-site. Here, we demonstrate that a sensor based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is c ...[more]
