Abstract The non-active mechanism of Ag-Cl clusters in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was discussed on the basis of the study of the interaction and adsorption competition of chlorions with a series of compounds: benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and m-hydroxybenzoic acid on silver surface. As a result of the addition of chlorions, the SERS signals of these molecules were sharply and rapidly reduced and quenched in intensity. The change of Raman bands at 1644 cm-1 for benzoic acid, and at 1636 cm-1 for p-hydroxybenzoic acid and m-hydroxybenzoic acid, before and after the addition of chlorions, indicated the desorption process of these adsorbed molecules, and the adsorption behavior of the molecules remaining adsorbed on the silver surface.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
