研究目的
To fabricate a stable surface-nanostructured single silver nanowire as a one-dimensional microscale SERS substrate with uniform and high enhancement characteristics for applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
研究成果
The surface-nanostructured single silver nanowire performs as an excellent one-dimensional microscale SERS substrate with uniform and large enhancements of the surface plasmon resonance and charge transfer. It shows high potential for applications as a new class of SERS-active substrates. The higher enhancement factor can be achieved by assembling dimers and trimers of roughened nanowires.
研究不足
The study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of a single type of microscale SERS substrate. The scalability and reproducibility of the fabrication method, as well as the applicability to other types of molecules, were not extensively explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of a surface-nanostructured single silver nanowire and its characterization as a SERS substrate. The nanostructures were formed by nanoscale silver crystal dots.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Silver nanowires were synthesized by polyol reduction using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the protecting agent. The nanowires were then roughened using aqua regia to form nanostructured interfaces.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM: Hitachi S-4800), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM (HRTEM) (Model JEOL, JEM2100), Renishaw H13325 spectrophotometer for Raman and SERS measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Silver nanowires were synthesized, purified, and then roughened. The SERS signals of crystal violet probe molecules adsorbed on the nanowires were measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The SERS enhancement factor was calculated, and the distribution of SERS enhancements was characterized by SERS mapping.
