We demonstrate that by combining silver nanoparticles and structured gold SSV surfaces the SERS for those molecules that bridge the nanoparticle-cavity gap is preferentially enhanced using 4-mercaptoaniline and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid as examples.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is widely recognized as a powerful analytical technique, offering molecular identification by amplifying characteristic vibrational signals, even at the single-molecule level. While SERS has been successfully applied for a wide range of targets including pesticides, dyes, bacteria, and pharmaceuticals, it has struggled with the detection of molecules with inherently low Raman scattering cross-sections. Urea, a key nitrogen-containing biomolecule and the diamide of carbonic acid, is a prime example of such a challenging target.

An optical biosensor is a specialized analytical device that utilizes the principles of optics and light in bimolecular processes. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a phenomenon in the realm of nanophotonics that occurs when metallic nanoparticles (NPs) or nanostructures interact with incident light. Conversely, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an influential analytical technique based on Raman scattering, wherein it amplifies the Raman signals of molecules when they are situated near specific and specially designed nanostructures.

Gold nanobowls (AuNBs) synthesized by the template-free method were deposited on graphene oxide (GO) to obtain an ultrasensitive surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform for folic acid (FA) detection. GO was conditioned in aqueous solutions at various pH values to optimize the adsorption of the FA molecule and the intensity of the SERS signal. It was found that the conditioning procedure influences the orientation of FA on the SERS supports and the quality of the spectra in result.

Applying antioxidant coating materials to prepare surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) sensing substrates can effectively enhance the sensitivity and stability for the analysis of molecules. In this study, we have leveraged SERS to develop an innovative sensor for the swift identification of Paraquat (PQ), enabling on-site detection of this herbicide. The newly devised sensor distinguishes itself through its exceptional oxidation resistance.

Hierarchical organization is prevalent in nature, yet the artificial construction of hierarchical materials featuring asymmetric structures remains a big challenge. Herein, we report a stress-induced self-assembly strategy for the synthesis of hierarchically twisted stripe arrays (HTSAs) with mesoporous structures. A soft and thin mesostructured film assembled by micelles and TiO oligomers is the prerequisite.
