The authors demonstrate a sensing approach for effectively monitoring organic micropollutants in water. They first use mesoporous nanosponge and magnetic nanoparticles for fast enrichment of micropollutants, and demonstrate SERS-based sensing with 2-3 orders of magnitude improvement in detection limits.
