Enhanced Raman Scattering

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enables the highly sensitive detection of (bio)chemical analytes in fluid samples; however, its application requires nanostructured gold/silver substrates, which presents a significant technical challenge. Here, we develop and apply a novel method for producing gold nanostructures for SERS application via the alternating current (AC) electrokinetic assembly of gold nanoparticles into two intricate and frequency-dependent structures: (1) nanowires, and (2) branched “nanotrees”, that create extended sensing surfaces. We find that the growth of these nanostructures depends strongly on the parameters of the applied AC electric field (frequency and voltage) and ionic composition, specifically the electrical conductivity of the fluid. We demonstrate the sensing capabilities of these gold nanostructures via the chemical detection of rhodamine 6G, a Raman dye, and thiram, a toxic pesticide. Finally, we demonstrate how these SERS-active nanostructures can also be used as a concentration amplification device that can electrokinetically attract and specifically capture an analyte (here, streptavidin) onto the detection site.

In this work, a chelating agent, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used for the controllable synthesis of gold nanostructures in aqueous solution. Coral-shaped Au nanostructures were synthesized by reducing HAuCl4 with EDTA. EDTA serves not only as a reducing agent but also as a particle capping agent in the formation of coral-shaped Au nanostructures. It is found that the molar ratio of HAuCl4:EDTA and reacted temperature play significant effects on the formation and growth of these novel nanostructures. These Au nanostructures could serve as highly sensitive and reproductive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates for chemical and biological detection.
