具有双共振吸收峰的Au纳米粒子制备及其拉曼表征

表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)很大程度的弥补了拉曼散射强度弱的缺点,迅速成为科研工作者们的研究热点,在食品安全、环境污染、毒品以及爆炸物检测等领域应用广泛。纳米技术的发展使得目前对于SERS的研究主要集中于金属纳米颗粒基底的制备,金属纳米粒子的种类、尺寸及形貌对SERS增强和吸收峰峰位均有影响,要获得好的增强效果,需要对金属纳米结构进行工艺优化。特别是,需要结合金属纳米粒子的结构和激励光波长,以期获得更好的增强效果。为了研究SERS增强和吸收峰之间的关系,开展了具有双共振吸收峰的金属纳米粒子的研究。首先利用FDTD Solutions仿真建模,主要针对金纳米颗粒直径、金纳米棒长径比及分布状态对共振吸收峰进行仿真,得到金纳米球理论直径在50 nm左右,金纳米棒理论长径比在3.5~4.5左右时,吸收峰分别分布在532及785 nm附近,符合多波段激励光拉曼增强条件;对于激励光偏振方向,其沿金纳米棒长轴方向偏振时吸收峰位于785 nm附近,沿金纳米球短轴方向偏振时吸收峰位于532 nm附近。然后采用种子生长法,制备了可用于多种波长激励光的双吸收峰表面增强拉曼散射基底。通过改变硝酸银用量(5,10,20,30和40 μL)、盐酸用量(0.1和0.2 mL)以及其生长时间(15,17,21和23 h)等多种工艺参数来控制金纳米棒含量,得到了同时含有金纳米球及金纳米棒的双吸收共振峰金纳米粒子。最后用该样品作为基底,罗丹明6G(R6G)作为探针分子,分别测试其在532,633和785 nm激励光入射时的SERS表征,对分析物R6G最低检测浓度均达到了10-7 mol·L-1,增强因子达到了~105,满足了多波段SERS检测的需要。

基于微波法制备纳米银胶的三种病菌的SERS光谱初步研究

使用激发光为785 nm的便携式拉曼光谱仪分别对赤星病菌、谷镰刀病菌和香蕉炭疽悬浮液进行了普通拉曼光谱和表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)光谱检测。实验结果显示,微波法制备的纳米银胶对三种植物病菌均具有较好的增强效果,同时获得了三种病菌信噪比较好的SERS光谱。从整体上看,三种菌谱峰峰强分布具有一定的相似性,如在481 cm-1处均为最强谱峰,500～1 000 cm-1谱峰较弱和1 000～1 600 cm-1谱峰较强。但三者在谱峰的分布和峰形上仍有明显不同,因此通过比较三种病菌的不同SERS谱峰可对其进行快速区分和鉴别。     

铑电极在紫外区的表面增强拉曼散射机理

采用波长为 32 5nm的He Cd激光为激发光源 ,首次在粗糙铑电极上获得了高质量的表面增强拉曼信号。基于在紫外区获得SERS信号这一进展 ,以电磁场理论为基础 ,分别从定性和定量的角度对此新的实验结果做了理论分析。分析表明 ,在紫外区获得的铑的SERS信号主要源自于有着特定形貌的铑纳米粒子所引起的避雷针效应及微弱的表面等离子体共振效应的共同作用。对铑纳米粒子的表面平均SERS增强因子的计算结果与实验值较为一致 ,约为两个数量级。我们同时比较分析了在可见光及近红外区有着极佳SERS增强效应的银基底在采用 32 5nm激发光时却得不到任何SERS信号这一实验结果 ,这是因为银在此紫外区间已完全不能满足表面等离子激元共振的条件所致

新型冠状病毒S蛋白在金纳米粒子中的表面增强拉曼效应

表面增强拉曼光谱技术因其高灵敏度、操作简单、快速检测等优点,被广泛用于病毒检测方面。国内外的病毒拉曼检测研究主要集中在检测病毒核酸以及组成核酸的各种碱基的表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS),但少见对病毒蛋白的SERS检测。以新型冠状病毒（SARS-CoV-2）的S蛋白为检测对象,采用无标记SERS检测方法,对比SARS-CoV-2固态、饱和液态S蛋白的普通拉曼光谱和选用40 nm金纳米粒子为基底的SARS-CoV-2低浓度S蛋白SERS光谱。结果表明,以40 nm金纳米粒子为基底,采用SERS技术检测SARS-CoV-2的S蛋白是完全可行的。SARS-CoV-2的S蛋白分子中的羧基与金纳米粒子发生了分子增强,氨基与金纳米粒子发生了电磁增强,从而使得SARS-CoV-2的S蛋白拉曼效应得到了增强,并使得峰位发生一定移动。实验获得了较好的SARS-CoV-2低浓度S蛋白SERS光谱,为建立敏感、特异、快速的SARS-CoV-2检测新技术提供了一种方法。

Surface‐enhanced Raman micro‐spectroscopy of DNA/RNA bases adsorbed on pyroxene rocks as a test of in situ search for life traces on Mars

SERS spectroscopy with 785‐nm laser excitation minimizing fluorescence emission is exploited for remote analysis of life traces in an extraterrestrial environment. Adenine and guanine, nucleobases present in both DNA and RNA strands, and microRNA containing adenine and guanine have been used as testing ligands for identifying traces of nucleic acids in Martian rocks and sediments. SERS spectra of these nucleobase samples adsorbed on pyroxene substrates have been investigated with micro‐Raman apparatus in the absence of sample manipulation and inducing the signal enhancement by deposition of silver colloidal nanoparticles over the pyroxene/nucleobase substrates. An order‐of‐magnitude estimate of the sample amount responsible for the SERS spectra is given. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Piperidine adsorption on two different silver electrodes: A combined surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory study

The surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of piperidine in silver colloid solution, on roughened silver electrode and on roughened silver electrode modified with silver nanoparticles were studied, and the high-quality SERS spectra of piperidine on roughened silver electrode modified with silver nanoparticles were obtained for the first time. Surface selection rules derived from the EM enhancement model were employed to deduce piperidine orientations on the different surfaces. On the basis of this, two models of piperidine adsorbed on the surface of the silver nanoparticles were built, and DFT-B3PW91/LanL2dz was applied to calculate the Raman frequencies. It proves that, at higher potential values, the piperidine is perpendicularly standing on the roughened silver electrode surface though its lone-electron pair, but in silver colloid solution and on the silver nanoparticles modified silver electrode the piperidine molecular lies flat on the silver surface. In the meantime, the potential dependent SERS of piperidine on the modified electrode were studied.     

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy of carbon nanostructures

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of diamond nanocrystals and fullerene was investigated. Ag and Au films were used as SERS-active agent. In the first series of experiments SERS were prepared with sputtered island metals on the nanoparticles surfaces. In the second one the nanoparticles were positioned on silver surface using laser acceleration method. SERS is a powerful method to analyze the light accelerated nanoparticles patterning for their spatial distribution and structure. The enhancement in Raman spectral intensity of graphite-like phases and blinking effect are observed. Additional bands due to selective enhancement from cluster surface with different arrangement are generated. For SERS of diamond crystal phase as well as for fullerenes the characteristic shift and asymmetry of Raman bands are also observed. The investigation can be of interest both for the understanding of carbon nanostructures’ physics and for their applications, especially for bio-detection, as well as for the studying of SERS mechanism.     

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering on colloid gels originated from low molecular weight gelator

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) on silver and gold colloid gels formed by a low molecular weight organic gelator, bis‐(S‐phenylalanine) oxalyl amide, was obtained. Strong Raman signals dominate in the SERS spectra of hydrogels containing silver nanoparticles prepared by citrate and borohydride reduction methods, whereas broad bands of low intensity are detected in the spectra of gold colloid gels. Resemblance between Raman spectrum of the crystalline substance and the SERS spectra of the silver nanoparticle–hydrogel composites implies the electromagnetic nature of the signal enhancement. A change in Raman intensity of the benzene and amide II bands caused by an increase in temperature and concentration indicates that the gelling molecules are strongly attached through the benzene moieties to the metal nanoparticles while participating in gel formation by intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the adjacent oxalyl amide groups. Transmission electron microscopy reveals a dense gel structure in the close vicinity of the enhancing metal particles for both silver colloid gels. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Visible light response of silver 4‐aminobenzenethiolate and silver 4‐dimethylaminobenzenethiolate probed by Raman scattering spectroscopy

Silver thiolate is a layered compound with a Raman spectrum that is known to change with time, becoming the same as the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum of the parent thiol molecule adsorbed on Ag nanoparticles. On this basis, the Raman scattering characteristics of silver 4‐aminobenzenethiolate (Ag‐4ABT) compounds were investigated to determine whether certain peaks that are identifiable in the SERS spectrum of 4‐aminobenzenethiol (4‐ABT) but absent in its normal Raman spectrum were also apparent in the Ag salt spectrum. For comparative purposes, the Raman scattering characteristics of silver 4‐dimethylaminobenzenethiolate (Ag‐4MABT) were also examined. Raman spectra acquired while spinning the sample were typified by only a₁‐type vibrational bands of Ag‐4ABT and Ag‐4MABT, whereas in the static condition, several non‐a₁‐type bands were identified. The spectral patterns acquired in the static condition were similar to the intrinsic SERS spectra of 4‐ABT or 4‐dimethylaminobenzenethiol (4‐MABT) adsorbed on pure Ag nanoparticles. Notably, the CH₃ group vibrational bands were observable for Ag‐4MABT irrespective of the sample rotation. In addition, no decrease in intensity during irradiation with a visible laser was observed for any of the bands, suggesting that no chemical conversion actually took place in either 4‐ABT or 4‐MABT. The preponderance of evidence led to the conclusion that the non‐a₁‐type bands observable in the SERS spectra must be associated with the chemical enhancement mechanism acting on the Ag nanoparticles. The chemical enhancement effect was more profound at 514.5 nm than at 632.8 nm, and was more favorable for 4‐ABT than 4‐MABT at both wavelengths. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

银纳米粒子的SERS效应和SEF效应在微流控芯片光学检测中的应用

银纳米离子的SERS技术和SEF技术的信号检测灵敏度非常高,可以用在微流控芯片的定量分析中。为了提高微流控芯片光学检测技术的检测精度,提出一种在微通道中添加银纳米粒子来增强SYBR GreenⅠ拉曼和荧光信号的方法,并对该方法的原理和增强效果进行了研究。首先,利用准分子激光器在PMMA基板上直写刻蚀出宽200 μm、深68 μm的微通道,接着将制备的银前体溶液加入微通道,通过加热制备出表面增强拉曼（SERS）和表面增强荧光（SEF）基板,接下来对添加银纳米粒子前后的拉曼和荧光信号分别进行对比,进一步研究了微通道中不同浓度银纳米粒子对SYBR GREEN I的拉曼和荧光信号增强效果。添加银纳米粒子后,表面增强拉曼（SERS）实验的增强因子为3.5×10³,添加银纳米粒子的样品的荧光信号强度与不含银纳米粒子样品的荧光信号强度相比,约增加了1倍。结果表明,在微通道中检测SYBR Green I时通过增加银纳米粒子显著地增强了拉曼和荧光信号,这种方法可以用在以SYBR GreenⅠ做染料的微流控芯片检测技术中。     

Large-scale plasmonic-SERS templates by successive growth steps

This work presents the fabrication of large-scale tunable-plasmonic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) templates and investigates their Raman enhancement. Substrates for SERS were prepared by deposition of gold nanoparticles on a glass slide followed by their growth. A plasmon shift was observed upon growing due to the formation of elongated nanoparticles and their mutual coupling. The changes in particle size, shape and interparticle distances were indicated by SEM measurements. Surface-enhanced Raman spectra of Nile blue A at a very low concentration on top of a blocking layer were measured. The overall Raman enhancement is correlated with the number of growth steps. For excitation at 532 nm four growth steps lead to maximum enhancement. Better overlap of excitation laser and the plasmon resonances upon growing increased the enhancement until four steps while further growing decreased the enhancement. At longer wavelengths excitation (633 and 785 nm) the enhancement further increased beyond the fourth growth step. This enhancement is caused by the plasmon excitation of narrower gap sizes. The proposed procedure for the SERS substrates is simple, allows covering large surface areas and plasmon band tuning from 530 nm to the near infrared in order to increase overall Raman enhancement.     

Fabrication and characterization of SERS‐active silver clusters on glassy carbon

In this article, a novel technique for the fabrication of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active silver clusters on glassy carbon (GC) has been proposed. It was found that silver clusters could be formed on a layer of positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDDA) anchored to a carbon surface by 4‐aminobenzoic acid when a drop containing silver nanoparticles was deposited on it. The characteristics of the obtained silver clusters have been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), SERS and an SERS‐based Raman mapping technique in the form of line scanning. The AFM image shows that the silver clusters consist of several silver nanoparticles and the size of the clusters is in the range 80–100 nm. The SERS spectra of different concentrations of rhodamine 6G (R6G) on the silver clusters were obtained and compared with those from a silver colloid. The apparent enhancement factor (AEF) was estimated to be as large as 3.1 × 10⁴ relative to silver colloid, which might have resulted from the presence of ‘hot‐spots’ at the silver clusters, providing a highly localized electromagnetic field for the large enhancement of the SERS spectra of R6G. The minimum electromagnetic enhancement factor (EEF) is estimated to be 5.4 × 10⁷ by comparison with the SERS spectra of R6G on the silver clusters and on the bare GC surface. SERS‐based Raman mapping technique in the form of line scanning further illustrates the good SERS activity and reproducibility on the silver clusters. Finally, 4‐mercaptopyridine (4‐Mpy) was chosen as an analyte and the lowest detected concentration was investigated by the SERS‐active silver clusters. A concentration of 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁰ M 4‐Mpy could be detected with the SERS‐active silver clusters, showing the great potential of the technique in practical applications of microanalysis with high sensitivity.
