应用电化学伏安法和表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)研究在-1.0 V~0 V电位区间内胞嘧啶于粗糙金电极表面的吸附行为.结果表明,在本实验的电位区间,胞嘧啶是以其N3位垂直吸附在粗糙金电极表面的.在负电位区间环呼吸振动模的强度出现极大值,与其它振动模强度相比,作者认为电磁场的增强和电荷转移均使该谱峰的拉曼信号增强.胞嘧啶的环呼吸振动频率随着电位负移而红移,这意味着它与金电极的成键作用减弱.同时也表明SERS谱可用于研究生物分子在金属电极表面的吸附行为.

Effect of laser illumination oxidation-reduction cycles upon surface-enhanced Raman scaterring from silver electrodes

The intensity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from thiocyanate and chloride adsorbed on silver electrodes is shown to depend critically on whether the electrode is illuminated during the oxidation-reduction cycle used to pretreat the electrode. The value and magnitude of the photoeffect is dependent upon the type of surface vibrational mode, the adsorbate and the wavelength of the radiation during the ORC. The effects are attributed to the production of SERS active clusters of Ag atoms by photoreduction of the Ag(I) phase films during the ORC.     

Role of O2 in inducing intensive fluctuations of surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra

Confocal Raman microscopic measurements were performed on silver electrodes covered with hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H). When short accumulation time was used, the subsequently measured surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra exhibited fluctuations. As previously reported for other systems, the intensity of fluctuations of SERS spectra significantly decreases if O2 was removed from the ambient medium. In this contribution we show that intensive SERS fluctuations can be also observed for a-C:H/Ag samples immersed in the deoxygenated electrolyte after applying a negative potential pulse to the silver electrode. It means that the O2-mediated Burstein mechanism of SERS fluctuations, which has been previously proposed to explain the SERS O2 effect, is not adequate for these results. We suggest that oxygen chemisorbed on the silver surface decreases the average strength of the interaction between a-C:H clusters and the metal surface (and hence the speed of movement of a-C:H clusters across the metal surface) and that the SERS O2 effect should be rather explained using the "classical" model of SERS fluctuations, in which fluctuations are interpreted as a result of the thermally activated diffusion of carbon segments in and out of the SERS "hot spots". A numerical algorithm for modeling of the fluctuations of SERS intensity has been proposed, and some example simulations of SERS fluctuations have been carried out. For the first time, strongly fluctuating bands due to the stretching vibrations of significantly weakened C-H bonds have been identified.     

Temporal evolution of Raman intensities on surface-enhanced Raman scattering active copper and gold electrodes at negative potentials

The effect of a roughening procedure on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensity of pyridine at copper and gold electrodes subjected to negative potential has been investigated. Among four procedures tested for a copper electrode the one consisting of electrochemical activation in a solution of LiCl and CuCl₂ resulted in the most stable and effective surface. It was proved that the presence of pyridine during the pretreatment procedure caused a very fast, irreversible decay of SERS intensity for both copper and gold electrodes. Quite stable, at least at room temperatures, gold surfaces were obtained by oxidation-reduction cycles activation in KCl solution.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering at the silver electrode/ionic liquid (BMIPF6) interface

This is the first report of in situ SER spectra of chemical species adsorbed on a Ag/room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) interface. We have investigated the dependence of the SERS intensity of the RTIL derived from 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosfate (BMIPF6) adsorbed on a silver electrode. It has been shown that the BMI+ adsorbs on the silver electrode for potentials more negative than -0.4 V vs a Pt quasireference electrode (PQRE). In the -0.4 to -1.0 V potential range the SER spectra are similar to the Raman spectrum of the RTIL BMIPF6. At potentials more negative than -1.0 V some imidazolium ring vibrational modes and N-CH3 vibrations are enhanced, suggesting that the imidazolium ring is parallel to the surface and for potentials <-2.8 V the BMI+ is reduced to the BMI carbene. The potential dependence of the SERS intensities of Py adsorbed on a silver electrode in BMIPF6 has also been investigated. The results have shown that at potentials less negative than -0.8 V (vs PQRE) Py adsorbs at an end-on configuration forming an Ag-N bond. In the -0.9 to -1.4 V potential range Py molecules lie flat on the electrode surface and at potentials <-1.4 V Py is replaced by the BMI+. The electrochemical and SERS results have shown that Py has the effect of changing the oxidation of silver in that medium as well as the reduction of BMI+ to the BMI carbene. In the presence of Py the BMI+ reduction is observed at potentials near -2.4 V. The Ag electrode has presented SERS activity from 0.0 to -3.0 V.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering of pyridine on Ag electrodes formed with controlled-rate oxidation-reduction cycles

A study has been performed in which the SERS intensity of the pyridine ring breathing vibration at 1008 cm⁻¹ at Ag electrodes is found to be dependent upon both the large scale and atomic scale roughness of the electrode surface. The controlled surface morphology is generated by a double potential step ORC technique. Scanning electron microscopy of these surfaces reveals varying large scale surface morphologies that are dependent upon ORC rate. A correlation between SERS intensity and large scale surface morphology is interpreted in terms of significant contributions from electromagnetic effects in electrochemical SERS. The correlation between SERS intensity and this surface morphology is found to be independent of the presence of atomic scale roughness. The results presented here confirm and extend the results of previous investigations of the morphology of SERS-active surfaces.     

Sonoelectrochemical synthesis of spike-like gold-silver alloy nanoparticles from bulk substrates and the application on surface-enhanced Raman scattering

The synthesis of non-spherical spike-like gold-silver alloy nanoparticles on platinum substrates was first developed by sonoelectrochemical methods in this study. First, a silver substrate was roughened by a triangular-wave oxidation-reduction cycle (ORC) in an aqueous solution containing 0.1 M HCl. Silver-containing complexes were found in the solution after the ORC treatment. Then a gold substrate was subsequently roughened by the similar ORC treatment in the same silver complexes-containing solution. After this procedure, Au- and Ag-containing complexes were left in the solution. Subsequently, the Au working electrode was immediately replaced by a Pt electrode. A cathodic overpotential was applied under controlled sonication and slight stirring to synthesize Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles on the Pt substrate. Encouragingly, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of Rhodamine 6G on the Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles-deposited Pt substrate exhibits a higher intensity by eight-fold of magnitude and a better resolution, as compared to that obtained on the Au nanoparticles-deposited Pt substrate.     

An investigation of the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from a new substrate of silver-modified silver electrode by magnetron sputtering

'Pure' silver nanoparticles on silver electrode were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The silver-modified silver electrode has good stability and the silver nanoparticles on silver electrode have homogeneous size distribution. Compared with the silver colloid modified silver electrode, there were no any extraneous component ions on the electrode, for the modified silver nanoparticles are prepared by magnetron sputtering. Synchronously, we obtained much higher quality SERS spectra of adenine molecules on the silver electrode modified by magnetron sputtering (SEMMS), and the study of the adsorption behavior of adenine on the silver-modified silver electrode by surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) indicated that the silver-modified silver electrode was highly efficient substrates for SERS investigation. From the rich information on the SEMMS obtained from high-quality potential-dependent SERS, we may deduce the adsorption behavior of adenine and the probable SERS mechanism in the process. The probable reasons are given.     

Surface-enhanced raman spectra of dyes and organic acids in silver solutions: chloride ion effect

We have recorded surface-enhanced Raman (SER) spectra of two different classes of compounds, cationic dyes and organic acids, and studied their chloride ion effects on the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activities of the silver solution. For the positive charge dyes, rhodamine 6G (R6G) and 1,1'-dimethyl-2,2'-cyanine iodide (DECI), no SERS could be observed without the addition of chloride ions because of lack of the electrostatic interaction between the dye species and the silver particles in the silver solution. The chloride ions served to enlarge silver particles and to contribute the existence of the surface active sites, making the silver solution SERS active to the dye samples. Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) intensity of the dye molecules increased with the chloride ion concentration. After reaching a maximum intensity, a Cl- quenching effect on the intensity took place. For the organic acids, benzoic acid and p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), SERS could be observed without the coexistence of chloride ions. The intensity of the Raman scattering did not vary significantly in the presence of small amount of chloride ion. At high Cl- concentration, quenching SERS intensity began to take effect.
