“…Many other applications can be implemented using CDs-based structures, for example, SERS-based CDs have been described by the authors of [ 32 , 44 , 45 ]. Moreover, schematic, SEM, and AFM characterization of the CDs-based structures and the materials used to manufacture the different types of CDs have been described by the authors of [ 30 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ], including the treatment methods made on the sample to prepare them for sensing applications. The main treatment method is exposure to metallic film.…”
