4-Aminophenyl disulfide (APDS) can cleave and be chemisorbed on etched silver foil to form an assembled film. The film can serve as coupling agent to form an inter phase between silver and epoxy bulk.

Silver nanoparticles synthesized by direct photoreduction of metal salts. Application in surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy

A simple synthesis method of silver nanoparticles and its application as an active surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) colloid are presented in this work. The photoreduction of AgNO₃ in presence of sodium citrate (NaCit) was carried out by irradiation with different light sources (UV, white, blue, cyan, green, and orange) at room temperature. The evaluation of silver nanoparticles obtained as a function of irradiation time (1–24 h) and light source was followed by UV‐visible absorption spectroscopy. This light‐modification process results in a colloid with distinctive optical properties that can be related to the size and shape of the particles. The Ag colloids, as prepared, were employed as active colloids in SERS. Pyridine and caffeine were used as test molecules. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Raman spectroscopic identification of fullerene inclusions in polymer/fullerene blends

Thin films of the conjugated polymer poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and blends of the soluble fullerene derivative[6,6]‐phenyl C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) with P3HT—a well studied but not completely understood donor–acceptor system for organic solar cells—have been studied by means of UV–visible absorption and resonant Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, we have employed atomic force microscopy phase imaging to characterize the nanomorphology of the P3HT : PCBM thin film, revealing a close intermixing of two phases with domain sizes ranging from a few to several tens of nanometers. A systematic analysis of pristine polymer and blend Raman spectra provides evidence that features attributable to PCBM, possibly even depending on the charge state of the fullerene molecule, can be observed. Hence our results suggest that fullerene inclusions in polymer/fullerene blends can be identified via Raman spectroscopy. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Application of Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering for ex Situ and in Situ Investigations of Polythiophene Derivatives

Polythiophene derivative films have been synthesized on electrochemically roughened silver, gold, and copper electrodes by anodic oxidation of the corresponding monomers. Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analyses of these coatings led to high‐quality spectra with high signal‐to‐noise ratios. In contrast with platinum, the use of SERS‐active metals allowed the observation of important changes in the positions, widths, and relative intensities of the Raman bands during the polymer doping‐dedoping process. In situ SERS investigations revealed that the modifications in the spectral features, when the polymer oxidation degree is progressively increased, are due to a transition from the aromatic to the quinoid structure and to an increase of structural defects along the polymer chains. Moreover, in the case of soluble polyalkylthiophene films, SERS analyses were also carried out using colloidal silver solutions. Despite the very low polymer concentration and the mild experimental conditions used in these experiments, a large amplification of the Raman signal took place. Two other methods for obtaining polybithiophene–silver composite films are reported. In these cases, thanks to the silver particles, the polymer displays a SERS effect, which greatly improves the signal‐to‐noise ratio of the Raman spectra, thus allowing a much better vibrational analysis of both doped and undoped states.     

Influence of electron beam irradiation on structural and optical properties of α-Ag2WO4 nanoparticles

The influence of 8 MeV electron beam irradiation on the structural and optical properties of silver tungstate (α-Ag₂WO₄) nanoparticles synthesized by chemical precipitation method was investigated. The dose dependent effect of electron irradiation was investigated by various characterization techniques such as, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. Systematic studies confirm that electron beam irradiation induces non-stoichiometry, defects and particle size variation on α-Ag₂WO₄, which in turn results changes in optical band gap, photoluminescence spectra and Raman bands.

Experimental and Theoretical Studies on the Interaction between Isonicotinic Acid Molecules and Silver Nanoclusters

The present paper describes the studies on the adsorption behavior and charge transfer from isonicotinic acid to silver nanoparticles with experiment and theory. Compared with UV–Visible adsorption spectrum, the adsorption spectrum of Ih-Ag₁₃ cluster was quite good agreed with that of silver colloidal nanoparticle. So that one Ag₁₃ cluster as a substrate was used to simulate Raman frequencies of the adsorption configuration. Here, it is demonstrated the calculated Raman spectra are in good agreement with experimental results. The analysis of Mulliken charge was obtained by density functional theory, which indicated the charge characteristics of Ag₁₃ nanoparticle. Once isonicotinic acid molecules were adsorbed on sliver clusters, the charges transfer from isonicotinic acid to silver clusters, so that the surface charges of silver clusters are uneven.     

Highly efficient silver particle layers on glass substrate synthesized by the sonochemical method for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy purposes

A fast method for preparing of silver particle layers on glass substrates with high application potential for using in surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is introduced. Silver particle layers deposited on glass cover slips were generated in one-step process by reduction of silver nitrate using several reducing agents (ethylene glycol, glycerol, maltose, lactose and glucose) under ultrasonic irradiation. This technique allows the formation of homogeneous layers of silver particles with sizes from 80 nm up to several hundred nanometers depending on the nature of the used reducing agent. Additionally, the presented method is not susceptible to impurities on the substrate surface and it does not need any additives to capture or stabilize the silver particles on the glass surface. The characteristics of prepared silver layers on glass substrate by the above mentioned sonochemical approach was compared with chemically prepared ones. The prepared layers were tested as substrates for SERS using adenine as a model analyte. The factor of Raman signal enhancement reached up to 5·10⁵. On the contrary, the chemically prepared silver layers does not exhibit almost any pronounced Raman signal enhancement. Presented sonochemical approach for preparation of silver particle layers is fast, simple, robust, and is better suited for reproducible fabrication functional SERS substrates than chemical one.     

基于L-Cys@Ag分析吲哚美辛的表面增强拉曼光谱

联合紫外、拉曼光谱及其在L-半胱氨酸/银传感器(L-Cys@Ag)的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)光谱表征吲哚美辛, 并与固体吲哚美辛的常规拉曼光谱(NRS)进行对比, 发现L-Cys@Ag对吲哚美辛有明显拉曼信号放大, 但其特征峰几乎不产生位移。研究不同酸碱环境下, L-Cys@Ag的吸附模型, 分析吲哚美辛在L-Cys@Ag上的拉曼光谱和SERS光谱, 归属拉曼特征峰。结果显示, L-半胱氨酸与银主要以Ag-S键的方式形成稳定吸附, 但是中性和碱性条件时-COO-也会吸附到银表面。结果表明: 半胱氨酸中的氨基与吲哚美辛中的羧基氧、苯环中的π电子发生吸附, 整体能量下降, 使结构更加稳定。加入牛血清白蛋白(BSA)后, pH为5时, SERS强度明显减弱。在pH为7和9时, N-H伸缩振动和酰胺Ⅱ振动明显增强, 吲哚美辛的苯环和吲哚环的特征峰振动消失。其原因是吲哚美辛的苯环和吲哚环进攻BSA后, 吲哚美辛特征振动消失, 但是吲哚美辛中的氮, 羰基与BSA中氨基吸附, 使得C-N和-COO-的SERS信号稳定。这为将来吲哚美辛以及相关非淄体消炎药的改良和新药的研究提供了可靠的鉴别和分析方法。

采用电化学、共振拉曼和表面增强共振拉曼光谱研究了溶液态和吸附态微过氧化酶－１１（ＭＰ－１１）的电子传递及溶液和界面结构特征。结果表明,ＭＰ－１１在溶液中中心血红素铁以六配位状态存在,吸附于粗糙银电极表面时,则因ＭＰ－１１分子的重新取向而部分转化为五配位状态,氧化还原反应进一步促进这种配位状态的转化,并且配位状态也直接影响ＭＰ－１１的氧化还原性质。     

Structure and conformation of Arg8 vasopressin modified analogs

Fourier‐transform Raman and infrared spectra were acquired for four arginine vasopressin (AVP) analogs containing L ‐diphenylalanine (Dpa): [Dpa²]AVP, [Cpa¹,Dpa²]AVP, [Dpa³]AVP, and [Cpa¹,Dpa³]AVP (where Cpa denotes 1‐mercaptocyclohexaneacetic acid). We compared and analyzed these spectra. In addition, the Raman spectra were compared to the corresponding surface‐enhanced Raman scattering spectra recorded in an aqueous silver colloidal dispersion. Silver colloidal dispersions prepared by the simple borohydride reduction of silver nitrate were used as substrates. The geometry of these molecules etched on the silver surface was deduced from the observed changes in the intensity enhancement, breadth, and shift in wavenumber of the Raman bands in the spectra of the bound versus free species. Based on the obtained data, adsorption mechanisms were proposed for each case, and the suggested adsorbate structures were compared. All the molecules were thought to adsorb onto a silver surface via a phenyl ring, free electron pairs on the sulfur atom, and CO and  CONH‐bonds. However, the orientation of these fragments on the colloidal silver surface and the strength of the interactions with this surface are different. For [Dpa³]AVP and [Cpa¹,Dpa³]AVP, a strong interaction among the—CCN‐peptide fragment and the colloidal silver surface occurs. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Characterization and optimization of AuNPs labeled by Raman reporters on glass based on silver enhancement

In this report, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) labeled by Raman reporters (AuNPs‐R6G) were assembled on glass and used as the seeds to in situ grow silver‐coated nanostructures based on silver enhancer solution, forming the nanostructures of AuNPs‐R6G@Ag, which were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV‐visible spectroscopy. More importantly, the obtained silver‐coated nanostructures can be used as a surface enhancement Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. The different SERS activities can be controlled by the silver deposition time and assembly time of AuNPs‐R6G on glass. The results indicate that the maximum SERS activity could be obtained on AuNPs‐R6G when these nanostructures were assembled on glass for 2 h with silver deposition for 2 min. In addition, the reproducibility of SERS signal on the fabricated nanostructures is very high with the intensity error lower than 15%, which has great promise as a probe for application in bioanalysis.

Surface enhanced Raman scattering and photoluminescence properties of catalytic grown ZnO nanostructures

Sword-like (diameter ranging from 40 nm to 300 nm) and needle-like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures (average tip diameter ∼40 nm) were synthesized on annealed silver template over silicon substrate and directly on silicon wafer, respectively via thermal evaporation of metallic zinc followed by a thermal annealing in air. The surface morphology, microstructure, chemical analysis and optical properties of the grown samples were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, room temperature photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. The sword-like ZnO nanostructures grown on annealed silver template are of high optical quality compared to needle-like ZnO nanorods for UV emission and show enhanced Raman scattering.     

In situ diagnostics of catalytic materials using tunable confocal Raman spectroscopy

A new Raman spectroscopic setup for in situ characterization of catalytic materials based on a tunable laser system and a confocal Raman microscope is described. The laser excitation wavelength is variable over a broad range from deep ultraviolet (UV) to near‐infrared allowing for targeted use of Raman diagnostics for catalyst characterization. By utilization of resonance effects, the sensitivity of the method can be strongly increased. The potential of the setup is illustrated by new in situ Raman results on dispersed vanadium oxide catalysts obtained at 217.5 and 280 nm UV laser excitation.

基于表面增强拉曼光谱及密度泛函理论的农药毒死蜱检测研究

毒死蜱作为一种广谱高效有机磷杀虫剂,在农业等领域被广泛使用。但是,环境毒理学研究发现,毒死蜱可直接施于土壤中,与土壤颗粒牢固结合,几乎不会迁移或挥发,而且水溶性低,容易造成药物残留,影响着农副产品食用的安全性,对生态环境具有潜在的危险性,许多国家对毒死蜱在农产品中的残留量有严格的规定。因此,检测毒死蜱残留的生态风险问题是当务之急。表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)技术具有快捷、高效、灵敏度高等优势,已经成为光谱检测领域的热点研究技术;密度泛函理论被广泛用于分子结构与性质的理论模拟计算及光谱分析。基于表面增强拉曼光谱和密度泛函理论对杀虫剂毒死蜱的拉曼和表面增强拉曼光谱进行理论研究。首先,利用GaussView5.0对毒死蜱分子及加入银团簇基底的分子结构进行构型。其次,对毒死蜱分子采用6-31G基组,并基于密度泛函理论进行结构优化,利用Gaussian09模拟计算出其拉曼及表面增强拉曼光谱,并确定拉曼光谱和SERS光谱峰值归属。最后,从频移量角度分析银团簇Ag₂和Ag₃对毒死蜱拉曼光谱的增强效应,并进行频移量大小对比。研究发现,在两种尺寸银团簇作用下,拉曼光谱在326,463,741,781,1 068,1 294,1 435和1 602 cm-1波数处的特征峰强度均有明显的增强,且随着银团簇结构尺寸增大,拉曼信号增强效果更为明显;在不同银团簇增强作用下,一些特征峰发生偏移,其频移量与银团簇结构相关联,在Ag₂和Ag₃银团簇增强下,表面增强拉曼光谱在463,741～781 cm-1波数处均产生了较大的频移,其余特征峰波数处频移量较小,均在20 cm-1以下,毒死蜱分子分别与Ag₂和Ag₃入侵后的表面增强拉曼光谱进行对比,频移方向有很好的一致性。该研究结果为表面增强拉曼光谱技术在农药残留检测领域的应用提供了理论依据。     

In situ nucleation and growth of silver nanoparticles in membrane materials: a controllable roughened SERS substrate with high reproducibility

A controllable roughened silver surface with high surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity and high reproducibility has been developed in this study. This silver surface was prepared by silver nucleation in polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) and silver‐enlarged growth. First, the small Ag nuclei were synthesized by NaBH₄ in situ reduction of Ag ions on a surface of PEMs. Then the small Ag nuclei formed were effectively enlarged by using a mixture of commercially available reagents named Li Silver . The optical properties and morphologies of the silver substrates have been investigated by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The UV–vis and AFM results revealed that the small Ag nuclei separately appeared on the PEMs after NaBH₄ in situ reduction. The size of the enlarged Ag nanoparticles can be easily controlled with the immersing cycle in Li Silver. 4‐Mercaptopyridine (4‐MPY) and Rhodamine 6G (R6G) have been used as Raman probes to evaluate the properties of the new SERS substrates. It has been found that the enhancement factor of R6G reached ∼10⁹ after treatment in Li Silver. Reproducibility has been investigated using the SERS signal intensity at 1094 cm⁻¹ of 4‐MPY. Signals collected over multiple spots within the same substrate resulted in a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 6.38%, while an RSD of 10.33% was measured in signals collected from different substrates.
