研究目的
Investigating the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) effect of 4-mercaptopyridine (4-Mpy) adsorbed on nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) microrods by resonance Raman spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and visible spectral range.
研究成果
The study identified a novel contribution to the UV resonance in SERS, attributed to excitonic states in ZnO nanowalls, which can be tuned by quantum confinement effects. This excitonic resonance enhancement is significantly stronger than the visible resonance, offering new opportunities to optimize the chemical SERS effect for molecular detection.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions under which the ZnO nanostructures and 4-Mpy molecules interact, including the thickness of the ZnO nanowalls and the energy range of the incident photons. The applicability of the findings to other molecular systems or nanostructures may require further investigation.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized resonance Raman spectroscopy to investigate the SERS effect on ZnO nanostructures with 4-Mpy molecules. A phenomenological model based on a four-photon Green’s function calculation was used to describe the observed resonances.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Nanostructured ZnO SERS substrates were prepared by growing position-controlled ZnO microrod structures with nanowalls inside on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene films through a catalyst-free CVD process. 4-Mpy molecules were deposited on these substrates.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A UT-3 Raman spectrometer equipped with a fully reflective custom-made entrance objective, a Tsunami Ti:sapphire laser system, and other laser sources for different wavelengths were used. The substrates were prepared using CVD graphene films and SiO2 growth masks.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Raman measurements were conducted across a range of incident photon energies. The samples were immersed in a 4-Mpy solution, washed, and then subjected to Raman spectroscopy.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The raw Raman spectra were corrected for the spectral response of the Raman spectrometer and normalized to the used laser power and integration time, yielding the Raman susceptibility.
