The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiency of gold nanocylinders deposited on gold thin film is studied. Exploiting the specific plasmonic properties of such substrates, we determine the influence of the nanocylinder diameter and the film thickness on the SERS signal at three different excitation wavelengths (532, 638 and 785 nm). We demonstrate that the highest signal is reached for the highest diameter of 250 nm due to coupling between the nanocylinders and for the lowest thickness (20 nm) as the excited plasmon is created at the interface between the gold and glass substrate. Moreover, even if we show that the highest SERS efficiency is obtained for an excitation wavelength of 638 nm, a large SERS signal can be obtained at all excitation wavelengths and on a wide spectral range. We demonstrate that it can be related with the nature of the plasmon (propagative plasmon excited through the nanocylinder grating) and with its angular dependence (tuning of the plasmon position with the excitation angle). Such an effect allows the excitation of plasmon on nearly the whole visible range, and paves the way to multispectral SERS substrates.

We reported on a study upon a Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrate produced from a large area multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) films decorated with Au nanoparticles. The morphology and spectrum of the MWCNTs/Au composite structure was characterized with scanning electron microscopy and spectrophotometer. The SERS signals of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) absorbed on the substrate were improved, which could contribute to the enlarged surface area for adsorption of molecules and Localized Plasmon Resonance Effect. The results indicated that it is potential to produce sensitive SERS substrates via further fine-tuning of size, shape of the nanostructure.

Two-dimensional layered material Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) exhibits a flat surface without dangling bonds and is expected to be a suitable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for the detection of organic molecules. However, further fabrication of nanostructures for enhancement of SERS is necessary because of the low detection efficiency of MoS2. In this paper, period-distribution Si/MoS2 core/shell nanopillar (NP) arrays were fabricated for SERS. The MoS2 thin films were formed on the surface of Si NPs by sulfurizing the MoO3 thin films coated on the Si NP arrays. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to characterize Si/MoS2 core-shell nanostructure. In comparison with a bare Si substrate and MoS2 thin film, the use of Si/MoS2 core-shell NP arrays as SERS substrates enhances the intensity of each SERS signal peak for Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules, and especially exhibits about 75-fold and 7-fold enhancements in the 1361 cm−1 peak signal, respectively. We suggest that the Si/MoS2 core-shell NP arrays with larger area could absorb more R6G molecules and provide larger interfaces between MoS2 and R6G molecules, leading to higher opportunity of charge transfer process and exciton transitions. Therefore, the Si/MoS2 core/shell NP arrays could effectively enhance SERS signal and serve as excellent SERS substrates in biomedical detection.

This paper reports the preparation of silver-platinum (AgPt) nanofernson ITO surface using liquid phase deposition technique with various concentrations of silver nitrate in synthesis solution. The different morphologies of AgPt thin films were grown on the surface using 0.1 mM to 0.8 mM of silver concentration. This silver effect on the growth of AgPt on the surfacewas studied using FESEM and UV-Vis characterization. It was found that the optimum silver concentration in synthesis solution supplied the appropriate Ag+ion to grow the nanofernsstructure on the surface. AgPt films were then carried out to sense 1.0 M of creatinine concentration to learn their performance as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. The sensitivity of SERS substrate towards creatinine detection was studied by observing the change of Raman spectra of the creatinine on ITO surface and creatinine on AgPt films surface.

Enhanced Raman Scattering

Developing ideal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is significant in biological detection. Compared with free non-aggregated noble metal nanoparticles, loading metal nanoparticles on a large matrix can achieve a higher SERS effect due to the existence of many “hot spots”. A novel SERS substrate with intense “hot spots” was prepared through reducing gold ions with silicon nanocrystal containing polymer microspheres. The substrate exhibits high SERS sensitivity with an enhancement factor of 5.4 × 107. By applying 4-mercaptopyridine as a Raman reporter, the developed SERS substrate can realize measurement of pH values. The intensity ratio of 1574 to 1607 cm−1 of 4-mercaptopyridine showed excellent pH sensitivity, which increased as the surrounding pH increased. With good stability and reliability, the pH sensor is promising in the design of biological detection devices.

Flexible surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was prepared by modification of sandpaper with silver nanoparticles. Under 633 nm excitation wavelength, the SERS enhancement effect of sandpapers which were treated with silver nanoparticles were evaluated by collecting Raman signals of probed molecules. The results demonstrate that the SERS enhancement effect of white (12,000 meshes) is better than that of pink (8000 meshes) sandpaper under the same condition; when the concentration of probe molecules is [Formula: see text] mol/L, white sandpaper has the best SERS enhancement; the Raman scattering spectrum has better signal when the silver sol is 15 [Formula: see text].

Enhanced Raman Scattering

The development of new surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is primarily motivated by designing synthetic substrates to obtain the significant signal enhancement. In this paper, a large-scale carnation-shaped Ag meso-flowers monolayer with sufficient “hot spots” has been synthesized on copper foil without using any capping agent. In dimethyl sulfoxide, AgNO3 is reduced by Cu for 60 min at 35 °C through the galvanic displacement reaction, and carnation-shaped Ag meso-flowers with good crystallinity and high purity are obtained. The as-fabricated carnation-shaped Ag meso-flowers monolayer is used as novel SERS substrates. Non-fluorescent 4-mercaptobenzoic acid is selected as the probe molecule to test the SERS activity, uniformity and enhancement factors (EF) of the monolayer. Experimental results show that the EF of the carnation-shaped Ag meso-flowers monolayer is up to 7.06×108 and the limit of detection is 10-11 M. Meanwhile, the biocompatibility of the carnation-shaped silver meso-flowers monolayer is tested for red blood cells detection. SERS measurements demonstrate that the carnation-shaped silver meso-flowers monolayer has good activity, uniformity and biocompatibility, and can be used as an outstanding SERS substrate, which has a broad application prospect in numerous chemical and biochemical sensing applications.
