“…Plasmonic substrates are primarily used in SERS due to the large EM enhancement, which makes it difficult to study the CM enhancement. Alternatively, using nonplasmonic substrates can effectively eliminate the EM, thereby leaving only the CM. ,− Organic semiconductors, , metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), , perovskite nanocrystals, , copper telluride nanoparticles and also 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides − along with graphene ,− and its derivatives, have emerged as SERS substrates. The variety of these nonplasmonic SERS substrates provides an experimental platform for studying CM.…”
