A new high-performance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate with extremely high SERS activity was produced. This SERS substrate combines the advantages of Au film over nanosphere (AuFON) substrate and Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). A three order enhancement of SERS was observed when Rhodamine 6G (R6G) was used as a probe molecule to compare the SERS effects of the new substrate and commonly used AuFON substrate. These new SERS substrates can detect R6G down to 1 nM. The new substrate was also utilized to detect melamine, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 1 ppb. A linear relationship was also observed between the SERS intensity at Raman peak 682 cm(-1) and the logarithm of melamine concentrations ranging from 10 ppm to 1 ppb. This ultrasensitive SERS substrate is a promising tool for detecting trace chemical molecules because of its simple and effective fabrication procedure, high sensitivity and high reproducibility of the SERS effect.
制备了一种具有极高表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)活性的新型高性能SERS基底。这种SERS基底结合了纳米球上金膜(AuFON)基底和银纳米颗粒(AgNPs)的优点。当使用罗丹明6G(R6G)作为探针分子来比较新基底和常用的AuFON基底的SERS效应时,观察到SERS增强了三个数量级。这些新型SERS基底能够检测低至1 nM的R6G。新基底还被用于检测三聚氰胺,检测限(LOD)为1 ppb。在拉曼峰682 cm(-1)处的SERS强度与三聚氰胺浓度在10 ppm至1 ppb范围内的对数之间也观察到线性关系。这种超灵敏的SERS基底因其简单有效的制备过程、高灵敏度和SERS效应的高重现性,是检测痕量化学分子的一种有前景的工具。
