Influence of surface plasmon resonance wavelength on SERS activity of naturally grown silver nanoparticle ensemble

We present experimental results to quantify and optimize the surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity of naturally grown silver nanoparticles. Ag nanoparticle ensembles with mean equivalent radii ranging from 10.6 to 20.3 nm were prepared under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by Volmer–Weber growth on quartz plates. A tuning of the localized surface plasmon polariton resonance wavelength from 453 to 548 nm was performed by varying the morphology of the silver nanoparticles. The dependence of the SERS activity on the plasmon resonance wavelength was investigated with a Raman set‐up containing a microsystem light source with an emission line at 488 nm. Shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy was applied to remove the fluorescence‐based background from the SERS spectra of pyrene in water using two slightly different emission wavelengths (487.61 and 487.91 nm) of the microsystem light source. We demonstrate that the Raman activities for all SERS substrates are available in the nanomolar range in a water sample. However, the Raman activity crucially depends on the plasmon resonance wavelength of the nanoparticle ensembles. Although for an on‐resonance ensemble the limit of detection for pyrene in water is very low and was estimated to be 2 nmol/L, it increases rapidly to several tens of nanomol for slightly off‐resonance ensembles. Hence, the highest SERS activity was obtained with a nanoparticle ensemble exhibiting a plasmon resonance wavelength at 491 nm, which almost coincides with the excitation wavelengths.

Preparation of monodisperse bimetallic nanorods with gold nanorod core and silver shell and their plasmonic property and SERS efficiency

In this study, monodisperse bimetallic nanorods with gold (Au) nanorod core and silver (Ag) shell (Au@AgNRs) were synthesized through seed‐mediated growth process by reduction of AgNO₃ using Au nanorods with narrow size and shape distribution as seeds. With increasing the used amount of AgNO₃, the Ag shell thickness of their lateral facets is raised faster than that of their two tips, leading to a decrease of their aspect ratios. Four plasmon bands are observable on the extinction spectra of Au@AgNRs, which are attributed to the longitudinal dipolar plasmon mode, transverse dipolar plasmon mode, and octupolar plasmon mode of the core‐shell structured bimetallic nanorods, respectively. As their Ag shell thickness increases, their longitudinal plasmon band blue‐shifts notably with the transverse plasmon band blue‐shifting and the two octupolar plasmon bands red‐shifting slightly, due to the decrease of their aspect ratios and enhancement of Ag plasmon resonance contribution. When used as surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for probing minute amounts of 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid in aqueous solution, Au@AgNRs have much stronger SERS activity than Au nanorods, and the obtained Raman signals are highly reproducible arising from their excellent monodispersity. Their SERS activity is remarkably increased with their Ag shell thickness thanks to the enhancing surface electric field and the chemical enhancement associated with electronic ligand effect.

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.

不同类型银纳米粒子的吸收和拉曼增强特性的关系研究

一直以来,将纳米结构材料用于其表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)时会先测试其吸收光谱,因为一般研究认为,纳米结构材料产生SERS的原因是纳米结构材料对于入射光的吸收产生了局域表面等离子体共振(LSPR),因此我们常把SERS的增强因子随波长变化的曲线等同于吸收光谱曲线。近年来,有学者认为两者之间的联系可能是非常间接的,并且在许多情况下会产生误导。为了能够阐明两个之间的具体关系,考虑到银纳米粒子(AgNPs)以其局域表面等离子体共振而显著提高拉曼散射的能力而闻名, 是制备SERS基底的理想纳米材料,我们从实验和理论两个角度研究了三种不同状态的AgNPs中表面增强拉曼散射的增强因子(EF)、吸收光谱以及空间的电场分布。实验上,利用化学还原法制备了银溶胶(Ag-sol),并对Ag-sol做了透射电子显微镜(TEM)、紫外可见分光光度计(UV-Vis)以及拉曼的表征实验,统计和计算了银溶胶的EF和吸收光谱。理论上,利用仿真软件COMSOL Multiphysics建立了不同聚合类型AgNPs的仿真模型,模拟计算了与实验相对应的EF随波长变化的曲线以及吸收光谱。结果表明：表面等离子体共振的空间分布对吸收和最大EF值起着重要的作用;具有固定位置的共振吸收峰(第一个峰位)主要受“单颗粒类型”效应的影响,而最大EF处的吸收峰(第二个峰位)由“耦合间隙类型”效应引起的蓝移谐振峰主导,且最大EF值及第二个吸收峰的峰位会随着粒子的间隙、偏振角度等因素而变化。研究表明,AgNps样品的吸收光谱和最大EF曲线之间是部分相关的。     

Size‐dependent SERS enhancement of colloidal silver nanoplates: the case of 2‐amino‐5‐nitropyridine

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of 2‐amino‐5‐nitropyridine (ANP) adsorbed on colloidal silver triangular nanoplates were obtained using samples with different mean sizes and surface plasmon frequencies. The relative SERS enhancement factor for each sample was determined by the analysis of the normalized SERS excitation profiles of ANP vibrational modes for nanoplates in suspension, without aggregation. The SERS profiles are blue‐shifted in relation to the localized surface plasmon peak. The detailed characterization of both morphology and concentration of the samples in addition to a rigorous normalization of the SERS spectra allowed a quantitative correlation between the SERS profiles and the mean size of the nanoplates. This correlation indicated the existence of an optimum size of the nanoplates for maximum Raman enhancement. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
