Gold Micro-Flowers: One-Step Fabrication of Efficient, Highly Reproducible Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method enabling simultaneous synthesis and deposition of gold micro-flowers (AuMFs) on solid substrates in a one-pot process that uses two reagents, auric acid and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, in aqueous reaction mixture. The AuMFs deposited onto the substrate form mechanically stable gold layer of expanded nanostructured surface. The morphology of the AuMFs depends on and can be controlled by the composition of the reaction solution as well as by the reaction time. The nanostructured metallic layers obtained with our method are employed as efficient platforms for chemical and biological sensing based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). SERS spectra recorded by such platforms for p-mercaptobenzoic acid and phage lambda exhibit enhancement factors above 10(6) and excellent reproducibility.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combines the high specificity of Raman scattering with high sensitivity due to an enhancement of the electromagnetic field by metallic nanostructures. However, the tyical fabrication methods of SERS substrates suffer from low throughput and therefore high costs. Furthermore, point-of-care applications require the investigation of liquid solutions and thu...

While top-down substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) offer outstanding control and reproducibility of the gold nanopatterns and their related localized surface plasmon resonance, intracellular SERS experiments heavily rely on gold nanoparticles. These nanoparticles often result in varying and uncontrollable enhancement factors. Here we demonstrate the use of top-down gold-na...
