Variable-temperature (25–100°C) Raman spectra of a crystal of commercial VO2 have revealed surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of the V=O stretching mode of the bariandite-like vanadium oxide species, V10O24·9H2O, that is formed on the surface of the crystal. Upon passing through the semiconductor-to-metal phase transition of VO2 at 68°C, there is an approximately three to five-fold increase in Raman intensity of the V=O stretching mode. This effect is reversible with hysteresis upon decreasing the temperature. The temperature dependence of the Raman spectra at temperatures below the transition suggest that even the semiconductor phase has some SERS effect.

The efficiency of the generation of Raman spectra by molecules adsorbed on some substrates (or placed at a very close distance to some substrates) may be many orders of magnitude larger than the efficiency of the generation of Raman spectra by molecules that are not adsorbed. This effect is called surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In the first SERS experiments, nanostructured plasmonic metals have been used as SERS-active materials. Later, other types of SERS-active materials have also been developed. In this review article, various SERS substrates formed on nanostructured non-metallic materials, including non-metallic nanostructured thin films or non-metallic nanoparticles covered by plasmonic metals and SERS-active nanomaterials that do not contain plasmonic metals, are described. Significant advances for many important applications of SERS spectroscopy of substrates based on nanostructured non-metallic materials allow us to predict a large increase in the significance of such nanomaterials in the near future. Some future perspectives on the application of SERS substrates utilizing nanostructured non-metallic materials are also presented.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) by films of polystyrene adsorbed onto silver island films was investigated. Films that were only a few tens of angstroms in thickness degraded rapidly during laser irradiation to form graphite-like species at the silver surface. However, no degradation was observed while Raman spectra of the solid polymer were obtained, indicating that the graphitization was probably induced by laser heating of the substrate and catalyzed by silver. For thin films of polystyrene, the rate of graphitization was high and was proportional to laser power. However, the degradation reaction was inhibited for thick films or for thin films overcoated with thick films of a second polymer. The Raman spectra were similar for all films thicker than approximately a hundred angstroms, even those overcoated with a thick film of a second polymer having a large Raman scattering cross section, indicating that most of the observed scattering originated from polymer molecules within a few tens of angstroms of the silver surface. It was concluded that SERS can be used to probe the molecular structure of polymer/metal interfaces without interference by scattering from the bulk of the polymer.

In this review, the advances in informative Raman spectra of graphene are firstly reviewed. Then, the graphene related SERS substrates are summarized. We finally highlight the catalytic reactions occurring on graphene itself and molecules adsorbed onto graphene upon laser irradiation.
