Graphene and its derivatives have been demonstrated to be good surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. However, the literature offers some contrasting views on the SERS effect of graphene-based materials. Thus, understanding the mechanism of the SERS enhancement of graphene is essential for exploring its application as a SERS substrate. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) and chemically reduced graphene oxide (CRGO) films with different morphologies and structures were prepared and applied as SERS substrates to detect Raman dye molecules. The observed enhancement factors can be as large as 10~103. The mechanism of SERS enhancement is discussed. It is shown that the SERS effect was independent of the adsorption of dye molecules and the surface morphologies of graphene-based films. Raman shifts are observed and are almost the same on different graphene-based films, indicating the existence of charge transfer between dye molecules and substrates. The Raman enhancement factors and sensitivities of dye molecules on different films are consistently within the IG/ID ratios of graphene-based substrates, indicating that the dramatically enhanced Raman spectra on graphene-based films are strongly dependent on the average size of sp2 carbon domain.

We used a simple low-temperature hydrothermal approach to synthesize Ag nanoparticles (NPs) and demonstrated their efficiency as organic molecule detectors in surface enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS). Using finite difference time domain simulation, we described an investigation on the distribution of electric fields amplitude of the neighboring Ag NPs. The enhanced electric field is confined at the interparticle gaps and the enhancement factor can be further increased with reducing the spacing between the NPs. The theoretical simulation demonstrated good consistency with the experimental measurement results, which predicts an electric fields amplitude enhancement of 115 at the center of NPs gap and an electromagnetic SERS enhancement of 108. The evidence of clear correlations between SERS enhancement and morphology distribution offer a route to develop more effective SERS substrates.
