ABSTRACTA method for low-cost fabrication of SERS substrates in rapid and reproducible way based on nanoimprint lithography (NIL) method has been developed. The SERS enhancement for detection of Rhodamine 6G molecules is demonstrated on two model nanostructures comprising either Au nano-crescents or Ag nano-wells fabricated by this method. Numerical simulations based on discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method show that the observed enhancement of the SERS signal for the given geometries originates in hot-spots localized at the tips of the nanocrescent. For the nanowell, the hotspots are mainly localized inside the cavity, on the side of the nanodonut, or at the edge of the bottom nanodisc when it is excited by a laser at the wavelength of 785 nm.

AbstractWe show a novel route to prepare SERS substrates, which is based on polymer–metal nanocomposites with a specific structure and composition just below the percolation threshold. The neighboring nanoparticles are still quite densely packed, but remain separated by narrow polymer gaps (<1 nm). Such a nanostructure allows the creation of densely packed hot spots where electromagnetic energy can be confined. The polymer–metal nanocomposites are fabricated by a simple and single-step method of electron-beam-assisted vapor-phase co-deposition. The preparation of the SERS substrates is based on a simple plasma-etching process, which removes the polymer structures that allow the formation of metal nanoparticle SERS nano-aggregates with very uniform and controllable inter-particle gaps. The method results in “ideal SERS hot spots” throughout the matrix. These hot spots can be created over very large areas. The prepared SERS substrates are promising candidates for the direct detection (label-free) and analysis of various biological and chemical samples.

Novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with stable and recyclable properties have been prepared by assembling gold nanoparticles-loaded PET (AuNPs/PET) nanocomposite superhydrophobic surfaces. After a physical vapor deposition process, the AuNPs/PET surfaces with vast plasmonic “hot spots” showed superhydrophobic properties, and it can hold target molecules droplets for rapid SERS detection. From blown off droplets and rinsed substrates with water after detection, we found that no probe molecules remained on the surfaces from Raman spectra. The prepared substrates were not contaminated in the detection process. Furthermore, the new SERS substrates were used for rapidly detecting droplets of crystal violet (CV) and the lowest detection concentration was about [Formula: see text] M. The as-prepared AuNPs/PET substrates also have good performance in terms of reproducibility and recyclability.
