Abstract: | The addition of pyridine to a 1 M KCl electrolyte before the oxidation—reduction cycle (ORC) of a Ag electrode significantly increases the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensities of the H2O and Ag0-Cl? stretching modes. The increase in the enhancement can be attributed to the fact that Ag0 adatoms, formed during the ORC, are stabilized by adsorbed pyridine complexes. The addition of pyridine after the ORC does not affect the H2O and Ag0-Cl? SERS intensities. |
