Surface-enhanced Raman detection of chemical vapors with the use of personal dosimeters

Highly sensitive SERS quantification of organophosphorous chemical warfare agents: A major step towards the real time sensing in the gas phase

“…The experimental results reveal evidence for the favourable but reversible interactions between the aromatic compounds and the MOF surface within the sensing volume of SERS, leading to 540 ppmV as LOD for benzene. Similarly, the continuous monitoring of airborne chemicals has been investigated on metallic substrates coated with different polymeric layers [29][30][31][32]. In particular, the presence of hydrophobic thiols promoted the interaction with aromatic compounds resulting in enhanced SERS signals.…”

Aligned silver nanorod arrays produce high sensitivity surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates

“…Surface-enhanced Raman scattering ͑SERS͒ has emerged as a routine and powerful tool for the investigation and structural characterization of interfacial and thin-film systems. [1][2][3] In spite of its recent popularity, SERS does have limitations, including strict requirements that must be met in order to achieve optimal enhancement. One of the critical aspects of the technique involves the need for producing an ideal surface morphology on the SERS substrate for maximum enhancement, a requirement that is predicted from long-range classical electromagnetic ͑EM͒ theory.…”
