Surface Enhanced Raman

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical technique and has been most intensively studied. In this work, electroless deposition is proposed for Ag nanoparticles (NPs) decorated on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth graphene sheets (GS) to create hybrid SERS substrate. From three aspects of size distribution, morphology, and coverage, Ag NPs controllable decoration on GS and SERS enhancement factors of the hybrid SERS substrate is investigated. 200–300 times enhanced SERS intensities are detected from the Ag NPs on GS hybrid as compared to pure GS. Controllable decoration is crucial for improving SERS enhancement factorsβEF, becauseβEFfrom quasi cubic Ag NPs on GS is 6.53 times stronger than that from spheric one; 1.6 timesβEFis detected while the Ag NPs size distribution is reduced to half, and when the coverage is doubled,βEFis nearly doubled. This controllable Ag NPs/GS hybrid is capable of serving as a high performance SERS substrate for efficient chemical and biological sensing applications.

In this work, we combined a hierarchical nano-array effect of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with a metallic surface of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to design a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) scattering substrate for sensitive detection of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) which is a typical dye for fluorescence probes. The SiNWs were prepared by Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching (MACE) of n-Si (100) wafers. The Doehlert design methodology was used for planning the experiment and analyzing the experimental results. Thanks to this methodology, the R6G SERS response has been optimized by studying the effects of the silver nitrate concentration, silver nitrate and R6G immersion times and their interactions. The immersion time in R6G solution stands out as the most of influential factor on the SERS response.

Abstract Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool for vibrational spectroscopy as it provides several orders of magnitude higher sensitivity than inherently weak spontaneous Raman scattering by exciting localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) on metal substrates. However, SERS can be unreliable for biomedical use since it sacrifices reproducibility, uniformity, biocompatibility, and durability due to its strong dependence on “hot spots”, large photothermal heat generation, and easy oxidization. Here, we demonstrate the design, fabrication, and use of a metal-free (i.e., LSPR-free), topologically tailored nanostructure composed of porous carbon nanowires in an array as a SERS substrate to overcome all these problems. Specifically, it offers not only high signal enhancement (~106) due to its strong broadband charge-transfer resonance, but also extraordinarily high reproducibility due to the absence of hot spots, high durability due to no oxidization, and high compatibility to biomolecules due to its fluorescence quenching capability.

Enhanced Raman Scattering

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.
