Here we report a simple fabrication method for large-scale hybrid surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrates composed of Au-nanoparticle-decorated three-dimensional (3D) Cu(OH)2@HKUST-1 (Cu3(btc)2, H3btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) nanorod arrays on a woven Cu mesh (Cu mesh/Cu(OH)2@HKUST-1@Au). Cu(OH)2 nanorods were first obtained from a simple in situ chemical engraving Cu mesh and then utilized as self-sacrificing templates to achieve HKUST-1 nanocube-assembled nanorods; finally, Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) were sputtered onto the Cu(OH)2@HKUST-1 nanorods. Due to the large surface area, the three-dimensional Cu mesh/Cu(OH)2@HKUST-1 nanorods could load high-density Au NPs and capture target detection molecules, which is beneficial to the formation of a strong electromagnetic field coupling between Au NPs, and provides abundant “hot spots” for a sensitive and uniform SERS effect. Using the Cu mesh/Cu(OH)2@HKUST-1@Au nanorod arrays as the SERS substrate, 10−9 M Rhodamine 6G and 10−8 M 4-aminothiophenolcan were identified. To verify their practical application, the fabricated arrays were employed as SERS substrates for the detection of thiram, and 10−8 M thiram could be recognized. The hybrid SERS substrates show potential applications in the field of environmental pollutant detection and this is of great significance to the sustainable development of the environment.

Technology transfer from laboratory into practical application needs to meet the demands of economic viability and operational simplicity. This paper reports a simple and convenient strategy to fabricate large-scale and ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. In this strategy, no toxic chemicals or sophisticated instruments are required to fabricate the SERS substrates. On one hand, Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with relatively uniform size were synthesized using the modified Tollens method, which employs an ultra-low concentration of Ag+ and excessive amounts of glucose as a reducing agent. On the other hand, when a drop of the colloidal Ag NPs dries on a horizontal solid surface, the droplet becomes ropy, turns into a layered structure under gravity, and hardens. During evaporation, capillary flow was burdened by viscidity resistance from the ropy glucose solution. Thus, the coffee-ring effect is eliminated, leading to a uniform deposition of Ag NPs. With this method, flat Ag NPs-based SERS active films were formed in array-well plates defined by hole-shaped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) structures bonded on glass substrates, which were made for convenient detection. The strong SERS activity of these substrates allowed us to reach detection limits down to 10−14 M of Rhodamine 6 G and 10−10 M of thiram (pesticide).
