About
Dr. Junli Duan is a materials scientist and analytical chemist whose pioneering work lies at the intersection of nanotechnology, flexible sensing, and food safety. Her research focuses on the development of novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates for rapid, on-site detection of chemical contaminants. Dr. Duan’s major contributions include the invention of a robotic writing approach to fabricate highly sensitive SERS substrates, using silver nanoparticle (AgNP) inks on common materials like photographic paper and drawing paper. This breakthrough enables the scalable, low-cost production of flexible sensors for trace-level detection of pesticide residues. Her most-cited work, “Robotic written silver ink on photographic paper for detection of thiram residues in fruits” (2021, 10 citations), demonstrates the practical application of her method, achieving sensitive detection of the fungicide thiram in real fruit samples. A follow-up study (2021, 7 citations) further optimized the fabrication process, enhancing substrate uniformity and sensitivity. With a combined citation impact of 17 from these two key papers, Dr. Duan’s work is gaining recognition for its potential to revolutionize food safety monitoring by providing a simple, portable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional laboratory-based techniques. Her innovative integration of robotics and nanotechnology marks a significant step toward democratizing advanced analytical tools for agricultural and environmental applications.
