Abstract Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of ­Fe3O4/Ag magnetic nano particle (MNP) is reported in this work. A synthesized ­Fe3O4/Ag MNP is characterized with UV–visible, vibrational spectral studies (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). VSM reports ­Fe3O4/Ag MNP posses good magnetic response and attribute as a SERS substrate. SERS property of ­Fe3O4/Ag MNP has studied with ­10–8 M, ­10–10 M and 1­ 0–12 M concentrations of R6G. Photocatalytic efficiency was calculated with both R6G and environmentally ignored real (leachate) sample. The degradation takes place with rate constant ˷ 0.012 min−1. Moreover, degradation efficiency of Ag NPs has improved with F ­ e3O4 NPs. Also, as synthesized substrate shows an antibacterial activity against gram negative and gram positive bacteria with an inhibition zone of 5–8 mm. Both photonic and antibacterial properties make this material as promise for potential applications in environmental pollution, human medicine and contaminated drinking water.

1 Introduction Nanotechnology is concerned with the synthesis of materials in nanoscale dimension. Nanoscale materials have novel in physico-chemical properties such as size, morphology and nanomaterials composition, the material is unique from bulk specimen. Noble metal nanoparticles (NPS) have attracted much research attention due to their remarkable optical, catalytic and antimicrobial properties [1–5]. Recently, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has provided another method for environmental

analysis, which is mainly due to the large amount of electromagnetic enhancement caused by local surface plasmon resonance[1, 3–8]. The most critical aspect of SERS analysis is to select or manufacture metal nanoparticles as SERS active substrates [1, 3, 4]. In the presence of various competing ions and impurities, the effective analyte captured near the SERS substrate can improve the detection sensitivity of environmental samples [6].SERS oc
