Self‐Assembled Au Nanoparticles as Substrates for Surface‐Enhanced Vibrational Spectroscopy: Optimization and Electrochemical Stability

Three‐dimensional nanostructured metallic substrates for enhanced vibrational spectroscopy are fabricated by self‐assembly. Nanostructures consisting of one to 20 depositions of 13 nm‐diameter Au nanoparticles (NPs) on Au films are prepared and characterized by means of AFM and UV/Vis reflection–absorption spectroscopy. Surface‐enhanced polarization modulation infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy (PM‐IRRAS) is observed from Au NPs modified by the probe molecule 4‐hydroxythiophenol. The limitation of this kind of substrate for surface‐enhanced PM‐IRRAS is discussed. The surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from the same probe molecule is also observed and the effect of the number of Au‐NP depositions on the SERS efficiency is studied. The SERS signal from the probe molecule maximizes after 11 Au‐NP depositions, and the absolute SERS intensities from different batches are reproducible within 20 %. In situ electrochemical SERS measurements show that these substrates are stable within the potential window between ?800 and +200 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl/sat. Cl^?).

Porous GaN as a template to produce surface-enhanced Raman scattering-active surfaces

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates have been prepared by depositing Au or Ag on porous GaN (PGaN). The PGaN used as the template for the metal deposition in these studies was generated by a Pt-assisted electroless etching technique. PGaN was chosen as a potential SERS template due to its nanostructured surface and high surface area, two characteristics that are important for SERS substrates. Metal films were deposited either by solution-based electroless deposition or by thermal vacuum evaporation. SERS spectra were recorded at lambda = 752.5 nm for Au films and at lambda = 514.5 nm for Ag films deposited on PGaN. The SERS signal strength across the metal coated PGaN substrates was uniform and was not plagued by "hot" or "cold" spots on the surface, a common problem with other SERS surfaces. The Ag film deposited by electroless deposition had the highest overall SERS response, with an enhancement factor (EF) relative to normal Raman spectroscopy of 10(8). A portion of the increase in EF relative to typical SERS-active substrates can be assigned to the large surface area characteristic of the PGaN-Ag structures, but some of the enhancement is intrinsic and is likely related to the specific morphology of the metal-nanopore composite structure.

小尺寸金石墨纳米颗粒的合成与表征

在表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)的研究领域中,基于局域表面等离子体共振效应的等离子体SERS基底的制备成为过去几十年的研究热点。然而,通常开发的等离子体金属基底具有较差的稳定性和重现性。对于SERS而言,石墨烯类材料具有拉曼化学增强效应,除此之外,还具有分子富集、强的稳定性与荧光猝灭能力等优点,因此基于石墨金属复合纳米材料的SERS基底受到了研究人员的重视。我们利用化学气相沉积(CVD)法制备了小尺寸的金石墨核壳纳米颗粒(Au@G),其粒径约为17 nm。我们通过在Au NP上包覆介孔二氧化硅来控制Au@G的尺寸,同时还研究了包覆二氧化硅过程中,正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)的浓度对于石墨壳层形成的影响。结果表明当TEOS在一定浓度范围内,其浓度的降低有利于得到石墨化程度高的Au@G。进一步利用Au@G对结晶紫分子进行拉曼检测,也表明了Au@G具有较好的拉曼增强效果。这种小尺寸的Au@G在分子检测与细胞成像分析领域中具有广泛的应用潜力。     

Peptide mesocrystals as templates to create an Au surface with stronger surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic properties

The design and fabrication of various nanostructures with predefined geometry and composition is a big challenge of nanotechnology. Here we demonstrate an Au nanoflake film replicated from a self-assembled, well-ordered, dipeptide flower-like hierarchical architecture. Such morphology can give rise to useful and remarkable surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) properties. We obtained these nanostructures by using a scaffold of flake-built spherical dipeptide aggregations. Gold nanoparticles were sputtered on the surface of as-assembled dipeptide by an etching system. After removing the dipeptide templates by ethanol, a metal crust was left with a morphology similar to that of the dipeptide hierarchical structure. The different steps within the process were monitored by using electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrum (EDS) analysis and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cyclic voltammetry and Raman spectra were employed to prove the SERS effect of the obtained Au substrates. The enhancement factor is estimated to be about 10(4) for 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules on the Au nanoflake surfaces.     

Effect of Ag and Au nanoparticles on the SERS of 4-aminobenzenethiol assembled on powdered copper

Raman scattering measurements were conducted for 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) assembled on powdered copper substrates. Initially, very weak Raman peaks were detected, but upon attaching Ag nanoparticles probably via NH2 groups onto 4-ABT/Cu, distinct Raman spectra were observed. Considering the fact that no Raman peak was identified when Ag nanoparticles were adsorbed on 4-aminophenyl-derivatized silane monolayers assembled on silica powders, the Raman spectra observed for Ag@4-ABT/Cu should be surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra, occurring by an electromagnetic coupling of the localized surface plasmon of Ag nanoparticles with the surface plasmon polariton of Cu powders. The extra enhancement factor attainable by the attachment of a single Ag nanoparticle is estimated to be as large as 1.4 x 10(5) in the case when 632.8-nm radiation is used as the excitation source. When Au nanoparticles were attached onto 4-ABT/Cu, at least an order of magnitude weaker Raman spectra were obtained at all excitation wavelengths, however, indicating that the Au-to-Cu coupling should be far less effective than the Ag-to-Cu coupling for the induction of SERS.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of single- and few-layer graphene by the deposition of gold nanoparticles

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of graphene on a SiO(2)(300 nm)/Si substrate was investigated by depositing Au nanoparticles using thermal evaporation. This provided a maximum enhancement of 120 times for single-layer graphene at 633 nm excitation. SERS spectra and scan images of single-layer and few-layer graphene were acquired. Single-layer graphene provides much larger SERS enhancement compared to few-layer graphene, while in single-layer graphene the enhancement of the G band was larger than that of the 2D band. Furthermore, the D bands were identified in the SERS spectra; these bands were not observed in a normal Raman spectrum without Au deposition. Appearance of the D band is ascribed to the considerable SERS enhancement and not to an Au deposition-induced defect. Lastly, SERS enhancement of graphene on a transparent glass substrate was compared with that on the SiO(2)(300 nm)/Si substrate to exclude enhancement by multiple reflections between the Si substrate and deposited Au nanoparticles. The contribution of multiple reflections to total enhancement on the SiO(2)(300 nm)/Si substrate was 1.6 times out of average SERS enhancement factor, 71 times.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of p-aminothiophenol on a Au(core)/Cu(shell) nanoparticle assembly.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of p-aminothiophenol (PATP) molecules adsorbed onto assemblies of Au(core)/Cu(shell) nanoparticles is reported. We compare it with the SERS spectrum of PATP adsorbed onto gold nanoparticles: both the absolute and relative scattered intensities of various bands in the two spectra are very different. The difference in relative intensity can be ascribed to chemical effects; the chemical enhancement ratio of the two substrates is approximately 3-5. A theoretical analysis based on a charge-transfer model is carried out, which yields a consistent result and shows that the difference in chemical enhancement is mainly due to the state densities and Fermi levels of the substrates. The difference in absolute intensity originates from electromagnetic (EM) enhancement. EM enhancement of Au(core)/Cu(shell) nanoparticles is unlike that of single-component gold or copper SERS-active substrates. The core/shell particle size for optimal enhancement is about 20 nm in the case of a 632.8 nm incident laser (the size ratio of the core and shell layers is about 0.6).
