{Abstract}: Although diffusion gradient in thin-film technique (DGT) has realized the in-situ sampling Sulfamethazine (SMT), the traditional DGT devices cannot be served as sensing devices but in-situ sampling devices. Here we report a recyclable surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) responsive DGT sensing device (recyclable SERS-DGT Sensing Device) capable of in-situ sensing of SMT in water. This is achieved by innovatively utilizing a recyclable SERS responsive liquid suspension of Au nanoparticles supported on g-C3N4 (Au@g-C3N4NS) as DGT binding phase. Au@g-C3N4NS is synthesized via in-situ growth method and embed in DGT binding phase, which exhibits good SERS activity, aqueous stability recyclable and adsorption performance. The SERS-DGT Sensing Device is valid for measuring SMT under a wide range of conditions (i.e., deployment time 24∼180 h, concentrations range of 1.031∼761.9 ng mL-1, pH 5∼9, ionic strength 0.0001∼0.05 mol L-1 NaCl, DOM concentrations 0∼100 mg L-1, four recycles). Furthermore, substrate combined with DGT binding phase, can integrate the sampling, pretreatment and SERS detection of SMT, which can be recycled, improving the reliability and efficiency of environmental monitoring. In this article, recyclable SERS-DGT Sensing Device, a platform for recyclable in-situ sensing of antibiotics, holds great potential for environmental monitoring.
