利用在电极表面强化学吸附的氯化亚锡与被测有机/生物分子之间的相互作用,不仅可以有效消除被测分子的碳化和氧化现象,还可以获得特别的增强信号,可应用于反应活性强的有机/生物分子的表面增强拉曼光谱分析。还报道了肌肽的电化学表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)光谱的研究结果,重点考察了加入氯化亚锡前后和改变电极电势对肌肽吸附SERS光谱的影响。无氯化亚锡时,肌肽的SERS光谱存在严重的碳化信号的干扰;氯化亚锡存在下,调控电极电势可引起吸附的氯化亚锡与肌肽在电极表面发生配位作用,借助这种表面相互作用,可将肌肽固载于基底表面,从而获得L-肌肽的高质量表面增强拉曼光谱,完全消除碳化现象的干扰。

分别在粗糙银电极和银纳米颗粒修饰银电极上得到了哌啶分子的表面增强拉曼(SERS)光谱.哌啶在银电极与银纳米颗粒修饰的银电极上的SERS谱有很大的区别,分析认为是由于哌啶在不同基底上的吸附方式不同所引起的,据此建立了哌啶吸附在银颗粒表面的两种模型,用DFT-B3PW91-lanl2dz方法计算了两种模型的拉曼频移,通过与实验结果比较说明了哌啶分子主要通过N原子的孤对电子竖直吸附在粗糙银电极表面,而在银纳米颗粒修饰的银电极上则以平行吸附方式为主.

Nanoporous Ag–GaN thin films prepared by metal‐assisted electroless etching and deposition as three‐dimensional substrates for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering

Three‐dimensional (3D) nanoporous gallium nitride (PGaN) scaffolds are fabricated by Pt‐assisted electroless hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching of crystalline GaN followed by in situ electroless deposition of Ag nanostructures onto the interior surfaces of the nanopores, yielding a large surface area substrate for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The resulting 3D SERS‐active substrates have been optimized by varying reaction parameters and starting material concentration, exhibiting enhanced Raman signals 10–100× more intense than either (1) sputtered Ag‐coated porous GaN or (2) Ag‐coated planar GaN. The increase in SERS signal is attributed to a combination of the large surface area and the inherent transparency of PGaN in the visible spectral region. Overall, Ag‐decorated PGaN is a promising platform for high sensitivity SERS detection and chemical analysis, particularly for reaction and metabolic products that can be trapped inside the highly anisotropic nanoscale pores of PGaN. The potential of this sampling mode is illustrated by the ability to acquire Raman spectra of adenine down to 5 fmol. Additionally, correlated SERS and laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry spectra can be acquired from same sample spot without further preparation, opening new possibilities for the investigation of surface‐bound molecules with substantially enhanced information content.

表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)衬底的研究及应用

表面增强拉曼散射(surface enhanced Raman scattering,SERS)是通过吸附在粗糙金属表面或金属纳米结构上的分子与金属表面发生的等离子共振(SPR)相互作用而引起的拉曼散射增强现象,是一种高灵敏的探测界面特性和分子间相互作用的光谱手段。文章归纳总结了近年来常用的SERS衬底的制备方法(溶液中的金属溶胶(MNPs in suspension)、 金属纳米粒子的自组装(self-assembly)、 模板法(Template method)和纳米光刻法(Nanolithographic)等;综述了这些衬底的表面增强拉曼特性;着重介绍了SERS增强在环境监测和生物医学应用上的最新国内外研究动态。目前已经能够实现增强因子高、 可靠性好、 重现性强的SERS衬底的可控制备,表明SERS可以作为一种高性能的分析探测工具,充分实现其潜在应用价值。     

Platinum and palladium as substrates for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been observed from the electrogenerated I₂ and I^-₃ coadsorbed on Pt and Pd electrodes. Theoretical models on the SERS process that emphasize the important role of the optical properties of the metal substrate cannot be used to explain this observation. The electronic interaction between the adsorbate and the substrate is believed to be the most important mechanism for the observed SERS.     

温度对苯甲酸衍生物在银胶体系中的SERS的影响

本文报道了温度对银胶体系中的苯甲酸衍生物(PHBA,MHBA,SA)水溶液的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)的影响。将苯甲酸衍生物水溶液与银溶胶混合后加热至沸腾,再冷却至室温(20℃左右)后测得SERS谱。将其与未加热混合液的SERS谱相比较发现这些分子加热前后的SERS谱中存在许多明显的差异。这种差异可能来自于苯甲酸衍生物在银胶颗粒表面的吸附方式的变化以及吸附的分子与溶液中残留的柠檬酸根在加热作用下发生的相互影响共同作用的结果。     

The bonding of diethyl ether, ethanol and their fluorinated analogs to zirconium oxide thin films

We report a thermal desorption study of the interaction of water, diethyl ether, ethanol, perfluorodiethyl ether, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol with zirconium oxide thin films epitaxially grown on Pt(111) single-crystal surfaces, and with the Pt(111) metal surface for comparison. We find that water and the hydrogenated ether interact chemically with the oxide surface through the O lone pair, whereas the fluorinated ether has only a van der Waals interaction. Ethanol and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol are decomposed to some extent on zirconium oxide upon heating. Fluorination decreases the bond strength between the molecules and the oxide surface. A similar trend is observed on the Pt(111) surface with regard to relative adsorptivity and reactivity of the adsorbates examined. Although the Pt(111) surface provides weaker interaction with the molecules that interact via O lone pair orbitals (water, ether and alcohol) than the oxide surface, it decomposes diethyl ether as well as the alcohols.     

Characterization of 6‐propylthiouracil and its interaction with human serum albumin on Au surface by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering

In this study, surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of 6‐propylthiouracil (6‐PTU) on Au surface and the interaction between 6‐PTU and human serum albumin (HSA) were studied. The Raman bands were assigned by the density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6‐311++g(d,p) level. Furthermore, the effects of concentration on the SERS spectra of 6‐PTU were analyzed. It shows that with the changes of the concentrations of 6‐PTU, the SERS spectra of 6‐PTU present significant changes, and it can be concluded that with the changing of concentrations, the orientation of 6‐PTU on Au surface also changes. In addition, the SERS spectra of the interaction between 6‐PTU and HSA show that the binding sites of 6‐PTU to HSA are the functional groups N3H and CO. The information will not only be references to the study of the mechanism of the interaction between drugs and blood plasma or serum albumin but also a guidance to understand the metabolism of drugs in human body.

Self-assembly 2D plasmonic nanorice film for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

As an ultrasensitive sensing technology, the application of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is one interesting topic of nano-optics, which has huge application prospectives in plenty of research fields. In recent years, the bottleneck in SERS application could be the fabrication of SERS substrate with excellent enhancement. In this work, a two-dimensional (2D) Ag nanorice film is fabricated by self-assembly method as a SERS substrate. The collected SERS spectra of various molecules on this 2D plasmonic film demonstrate quantitative detection could be performed on this SERS substrate. The experiment data also demonstrate this 2D plasmonic film consisted of anisotropic nanostructures has no obvious SERS polarization dependence. The simulated electric field distribution points out the SERS enhancement comes from the surface plasmon coupling between nanorices. And the SERS signals is dominated by molecules adsorbed at different regions of nanorice surface at various wavelengths, which could be a good near IR SERS substrate for bioanalysis. Our work not only enlarges the surface plasmon properties of metal nanostructure, but also exhibits the good application prospect in SERS related fields.     

Potential‐induced Raman behavior of individual (R)‐di‐2‐naphthylprolinol molecules on a Ag‐modified Ag electrode

The applicability of surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy is demonstrated to probe the adsorption behavior of individual molecules on a Ag electrode. High‐quality SERS spectra of (R)‐di‐2‐naphthylprolinol (DNP) were obtained from ultradilute solutions (10⁻¹² M ) on the Ag‐nanoparticle‐modified Ag electrode, which is attributed to the high electromagnetic (EM) effect of the SERS‐active system as well as to the strong adsorption and interaction of DNP molecules with Ag. The stable SERS spectra present remarkable potential dependence, which gives evidence for the behavior of individual DNP molecules on the Ag surface. Based on statistical analysis for the probability of DNP molecules located in ‘hot spots’, we propose an SERS mechanism for individual molecules in the electrode system, in combination with the hot‐spot model and orientation of the probe molecules.

pH‐dependent surface‐enhanced Raman scattering of aromatic molecules on graphene oxide

Graphene has become an ideal substrate for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to study the chemical enhancement mechanism. In comparison with mechanically exfoliated graphene, graphene oxide (GO) has been found to be a better substrate due to its highly negatively charged oxygen functional groups. In this work, the pH‐dependent SERS effect of aromatic molecules on GO are investigated. The results demonstrate that the Raman enhancement of dyes deposited on GO performs differently over a wide range of pH values (2 to 10). Adsorption experiments show that the pH‐dependent SERS effect is closely related to the adsorption of aromatic molecules on GO, which is dominated by the electrostatic interaction. Thus, the influence of pH in GO‐mediated SERS should be carefully considered, especially in its biomedical application. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
