Characterization of surface water on Au core Pt-group metal shell nanoparticles coated electrodes by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

We utilized the strategy of 'borrowing SERS activity', by chemically coating several atomic layers of a Pt-group metal on highly SERS-active Au nanoparticles, to obtain the first SERS (also Raman) spectra of surface water on Pt and Pd metals, and propose conceptual models for water adsorbed on Pt and Pd metal surfaces.     

Raman spectroscopy on transition metals

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has developed into one of the most important tools in analytical and surface sciences since its discovery in the mid-1970s. Recent work on the SERS of transition metals concluded that transition metals, other than Cu, Ag, and Au, can also generate surface enhancement as high as 4 orders of magnitude. The present article gives an overview of recent progresses in the field of Raman spectroscopy on transition metals, including experimental, theory, and applications. Experimental considerations of how to optimize the experimental conditions and calculate the surface enhancement factor are discussed first, followed by a very brief introduction of preparation of SERS-active transition metal substrates, including massive transition metal surfaces, aluminum-supported transition metal electrodes, and pure transition metal nanoparticle assembled electrodes. The advantages of using SERS in investigating surface bonding and reaction are illustrated for the adsorption and reaction of benzene on Pt and Rh electrodes. The electromagnetic enhancement, mainly lightning-rod effect, plays an essential role in the SERS of transition metals, and that the charge-transfer effect is also operative in some specific metal–molecule systems. An outlook for the field of Raman spectroscopy of transition metals is given in the last section, including the preparation of well-ordered or well-defined nanostructures, and core-shell nanoparticles for investigating species with extremely weak SERS signals, as well as some new emerging techniques, including tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and an in situ measuring technique.

A Comparative Study on the Influence of Submonolayer Coverage Sn on SERS of Au and Pt Substrates

Since the discovery of the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in mid-1970's,great efforts have been devoted to understand the enhancement mechanism as well as to extend the SERS system and application. There has been a consensus that the electromagnetic enhancement (EM) and chemical enhancement are the two important SERS mechanisms but each of them can only explain some of experimental results^[1,2] The EM mechanism relies on the surface plasmon resonance under a proper incident laser excitation. Strong EM enhancement has been observed on metals such as Cu, Ag and Au but not on transition metals such as Pt. However, the surface electronic properties can be modulated through submonolayer quantity modification of foreign metal atoms, hi this paper, we report a comparative study on SERS of Au and Pt in the presence of underpotentially deposited (UPD) submonolayer Sn.     

Expanding generality of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with borrowing SERS activity strategy

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was discovered three decades ago and has gone through a tortuous pathway to develop into a powerful diagnostic technique. Recently, the lack of substrate, surface and molecular generalities of SERS has been circumvented to a large extent by devising and utilizing various nanostructures by many groups including ours. This article aims to present our recent approaches of utilizing the borrowing SERS activity strategy mainly through constructing two types of nanostructures. The first nanostructure is chemically synthesized Au nanoparticles coated with ultra-thin shells (ca. one to ten atomic layers) of various transition metals, e.g., Pt, Pd, Ni and Co, respectively. Boosted by the long-range effect of the enhanced electromagnetic (EM) field generated by the highly SERS-active Au core, the originally low surface enhancement of the transition metal can be substantially improved giving total enhancement factors up to 10(4)-10(5). It allows us to obtain the Raman spectra of surface water, having small Raman cross-section, on several transition metals for the first time. To expand the surface generality of SERS, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) has been employed. With TERS, a nanogap can be formed controllably between an atomically flat metal surface and the tip with an optimized shape, within which the enhanced EM field from the tip can be coupled (borrowed) effectively. Therefore, one can obtain surface Raman signals (TERS signals) from adsorbed species at Au(110), Au(111) and, more importantly, Pt(l10) surfaces. The enhancement factor achieved on these single crystal surfaces can be up to 106, especially with a very high spatial resolution down to about 14 nm. To fully accomplish the borrowing strategy from different nanostructures and to explain the experimental observations, a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method was used to calculate and evaluate the local EM field on the core-shell nanoparticle surfaces and the TERS tips. Finally, prospects and further developments of this valuable strategy are briefly discussed with emphasis on the emerging experimental methodologies.     

Effect of intrinsic properties of metals on the adsorption behavior of molecules: benzene adsorption on Pt group metals

Investigation of benzene adsorption on different metal surfaces closer to a practical system appears to be a very important intermediate stage to utilize the conclusion obtained on single-crystal surfaces. In this paper, we studied the electrochemical adsorption behaviors of benzene on roughened Pt group electrodes using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The effects of potential, surface roughness, and benzene concentration were investigated. Significant difference in surface Raman spectra of benzene on Ru, Rh, Pd, and Pt surfaces were found. On Pt surfaces, the parallel-chemisorbed benzene, the vertical dissociated chemisorbed benzene, and the physisorbed benzene were observed, evidenced by the ring vibration mode appearing at 872, 1012, and 991 cm(-1), respectively. On Pd, only parallel-chemisorbed benzene and physisorbed benzene were found. On Rh and Ru, the SERS signals were mainly from the parallel-chemisorbed benzene, with an extremely weak signal from the physisorbed benzene. The potential dependent study reveals that the parallel-chemisorbed species interacts strongest with the substrate, while the physisorbed species can be easily removed at positive potentials. The models for the adsorbed benzene were given to account for the different types of benzene on these Pt group metals. The difference in the atomization heat of the four metals was used to interpret the different interaction strength of benzene with Pt group metals.

In situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic studies of nafion adsorption on Au and Pt electrodes

Understanding interactions between Nafion (perfluorosulfonic acid) and Pt catalysts is important for the development and deployment of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. However, study of such interactions is challenging and Nafion/Pt interfacial structure remains elusive. In this study, adsorption of Nafion ionomer on Au and Pt surfaces was investigated for the first time by in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The study is made possible by the use of uniform SiO(2)@Au core-shell particle arrays which provides very strong enhancement of Raman scattering. The high surface sensitivity offered by this approach yields insightful information on interfacial Nafion structure. Through spectral comparison of several model compounds, vibration assignments of SERS bands were made. The SER spectra suggest the direct interaction of sulfonate group with the metal surfaces, in accord with cyclic voltammetric results. Comparison of present SERS results with previous IR spectra was briefly made.     

Silver Coated Platinum Core–Shell Nanostructures on Etched Si Nanowires: Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Processing and Application in SERS

A new method to prepare plasmonically active noble metal nanostructures on large surface area silicon nanowires (SiNWs) mediated by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology has successfully been demonstrated for applications of surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)‐based sensing. As host material for the plasmonically active nanostructures we use dense single‐crystalline SiNWs with diameters of less than 100 nm as obtained by a wet chemical etching method based on silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid solutions. The SERS active metal nanoparticles/islands are made from silver (Ag) shells as deposited by autometallography on the core nanoislands made from platinum (Pt) that can easily be deposited by ALD in the form of nanoislands covering the SiNW surfaces in a controlled way. The density of the plasmonically inactive Pt islands as well as the thickness of noble metal Ag shell are two key factors determining the magnitude of the SERS signal enhancement and sensitivity of detection. The optimized Ag coated Pt islands on SiNWs exhibit great potential for ultrasensitive molecular sensing in terms of high SERS signal enhancement ability, good stability and reproducibility. The plasmonic activity of the core‐shell Pt//Ag system that will be experimentally realized in this paper as an example was demonstrated in numerical finite element simulations as well as experimentally in Raman measurements of SERS activity of a highly diluted model dye molecule. The morphology and structure of the core‐shell Pt//Ag nanoparticles on SiNW surfaces were investigated by scanning‐ and transmission electron microscopy. Optimized core–shell nanoparticle geometries for maximum Raman signal enhancement is discussed essentially based on the finite element modeling.     

Electrochemical and surfaced-enhanced Raman spectroscopic investigation of CO and SCN- adsorbed on Au(core)-Pt(shell) nanoparticles supported on GC electrodes

Core-shell Au-Pt nanoparticles were synthesized by using a seed growth method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Au(core)-Pt(shell)/GC electrodes were prepared by drop-coating the nanoparticles on clean glassy carbon (GC) surfaces, and their electrochemical behavior in 0.5 M H2SO4 revealed that coating of the Au core by the Pt shell is complete. The electrooxidation of carbon monoxide and methanol on the Au(core)-Pt(shell)/GC was also examined, and the results are similar to those obtained on a bulk Pt electrode. High quality surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of both adsorbed CO and thiocyanate were observed on the Au(core)-Pt(shell)/GC electrodes. The potential-dependent SERS features resemble those obtained on electrochemically roughened bulk Pt or Pt thin films deposited on roughened Au electrodes. For thiocyanate, the C-N stretching frequency increases with the applied potential, yielding two distinctly different dnu(CN)/dE. From -0.8 to -0.2 V, the dnu(CN)/dE is ca. 50 cm(-1)/V, whereas it is 90 cm(-1)/V above 0 V. The bandwidth along with the band intensity increases sharply above 0 V. At the low-frequency region, Pt-NCS stretching mode at 350 cm(-1) was observed at the potentials from -0.8 to 0 V, whereas the Pt-SCN mode at 280 cm(-1) was largely absent until around 0 V and became dominant at more positive potentials. These potential-dependent spectral transitions were attributed to the adsorption orientation switch from N-bound dominant at the negative potential region to S-bound at more positive potentials. The origin of the SERS activity of the particles is briefly discussed. The study demonstrates a new method of obtaining high quality SERS on Pt-group transition metals, with the possibility of tuning SERS activity by varying the core size and the shell thickness.
