Gold nanosponges (AuNS): a versatile nanostructure for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic detection of small molecules and biomolecules.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prepared by simple pour and mix chemistry, gold nanosponges (AuNS) are versatile structures for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). An investigation into the enhancement is performed by relating the nanostructure's morphology to the SERS signal. The potential of the AuNS in SERS-based molecular and biomolecular detection is introduced.

The active substrates in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy were prepared through self-assembly of nanoparticles on functionalized glasses. Colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared chemically in two different sizes by reduction of AgNO3 using trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride. Gold–silver core–shell nanoparticles were also prepared to compare between the o...
متن کاملPhoto-induced enhanced Raman spectroscopy for universal ultra-trace detection of explosives, pollutants and biomolecules
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive spectroscopic techniques available, with single-molecule detection possible on a range of noble-metal substrates. It is widely used to detect molecules that have a strong Raman response at very low concentrations. Here we present photo-induced-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, where the combination of plasmonic nanoparticles with a pho...
