We fabricated a simple, cheap, and functional surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate for biomedical application. Hot spots between two close silver nanoparticles distributed in the skeleton of a three-dimensional porous membrane, especially in the pores, were formed. The dual poles of micropores in the membrane were discussed. The pores could protect the silver nanoparticles in the pores from being oxidized, which makes the membrane effective for a longer period of time. In addition,Staphylococcus aureuscells could be trapped by the micropores and then the Raman signal became stronger, indicating that the functional surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate is reliable.

Three-dimensional (3D)-hybrid surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates have been achieved via simultaneous assembled silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The AAO templates were prepared from the UHV aluminum foil in 0.3 M oxalic acid using the two-step anodization process at 0°C. The effect of applied voltage ranging from 30 to 50 V on the porous diameter and the inter-porous distance of the AAO templates was investigated and observed with filed-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The results showed that the porous distance and the inter-porous distance were linearly increased with the increase in the voltage potentials. To investigate the pore-size effect on the SERS activities, the AgNPs were deposited on the AAO nanoporous templates. The SERS activities of these nanostructures were demonstrated with the methylene blue (MB) as the probing molecules.
