This study introduces a novel plasmonic nanocomposite platform, where gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are synthesized in situ within a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film. The innovative fabrication process leverages ethyl acetate swelling to achieve a uniform distribution of AuNPs, eliminating the need for additional reagents. The resulting nanocomposite film exhibits exceptional photothermal conversion capabilities, efficiently converting absorbed light into heat and rapidly reaching high temperatures. Furthermore, the platform is biofunctionalized with the phosphotriesterase enzyme, not only enabling the degradation of organophosphate pesticides but also showcasing the potential for multifunctional applications. The platform's ability to be regenerated after use underscores its sustainability for repeated applications. |
