The Si nanograss arrays are directly grown on Si substrate via catalyst-assisted VLS growth and subsequent plasma interaction. AgNPs were rapidly immobilized on Si nanograss arrays for SERS sensing, without any organic reagents and additives.

We introduce a simple, fast, efficient and non-destructive method to study the optical near-field properties of plasmonic nanotriangles prepared by nanosphere lithography. Using a rectangular Fourier filter on the blurred signal together with filtering of the lower spatial frequencies to remove the far-field contribution, the pure near-field contributions of the optical images were extracted. We performed measurements using two excitation wavelengths (532.1 nm and 632.8 nm) and two different polarizations. After the processing of the optical images, the distribution of hot spots can be correlated with the topography of the structures, as indicated by the presence of brighter spots at the apexes of the nanostructures. This technique is validated by comparison of the results to numerical simulations, where agreement is obtained, thereby confirming the near-field nature of the images. Our approach does not require any advanced equipment and we suggest that it could be applied to any type of sample, while keeping the measurement times reasonably short.

The recent development of SERS substrates based on irregular nanostructures for directly molecule recognition has aroused increasing attention. By combining the irregular flake-like nanostructures of mantis wings, high SERS performance of Ag nanofilms, and the chemical stability of Au nanoparticles (NPs), an ultra-sensitive and flexible SERS substrate based on Au NPs functionalized Ag nanofilms-mantis wings (Au-Ag-M.w.) hybrid system is successfully fabricated. When 4-aminothiophenol is selected as the probe molecule, the limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 10−13 M and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is lower than 7.15%. This novel SERS platform exhibits high SERS performance in terms of sensitivity, reproducibility and practicability mainly because there are high-density and multi-level “hot spots” in the appropriate nanogaps. Meanwhile, it also systematically compares the differences of the SERS performance of Cu and Ag decorated M.w. hybrids and how these differences can alter their response. Moreover, the proposed substrate is employed to rapidly detect the pesticide residues on apple peels and the LOD for cypermethrin is estimated at 10−10 mg/mL. Therefore, this novel SERS substrate has great potential in rapid sampling of pesticide residues on real samples and expands the investigation to other natural materials for fabricating various SERS platforms.
