Abstract:Surface-plasmons of metals have been utilized to enhance the Raman spectra of various adsorbed moieties for over decades. While amplification of the spectral intensity takes place on most of the metals, due to their superb properties, Au, Ag and Cu surfaces represent the benchmark in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. In this paper, we show that Cu-Pd bimetal and CuPt alloy nanotubes derived from Cu nanowires by simple galvanic exchange reactions are suitable for the efficient enhancement of Raman spectra wh… Show more
“…18 As the large smooth surface is not conducive to the enhancement of Raman scattering, chemical bottom-up colloid systems are investigated to improve the SERS application. 19 The morphology, roughness, and cluster aggregation of different copper materials may lead to distinguishing from enhancement factors (EFs). 20,21 Spherical-and rod-copper nanoparticles surface modied by poly(allylamine) were used as SERS-active substrates with EFs in the order of 10 4 .…”
