Three-dimensional noble-metal nanostructure：A new kind of substrate for sensitive, uniform, and reproducible surface-enhanced Raman scattering

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/8/087801

Abstract Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy technique for highly sensitive structural detection of low concentration analyte. The SERS activities largely depend on the topography of the substrate. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in SERS substrate, especially focusing on the three-dimensional (3D) noble-metal substrate with hierarchical nanostructure. Firstly, we introduce the background and general mechanism of 3D hierarchical SERS nanostructures. Then, a systematic overview on the fabrication, growth mechanism, and SERS property of various noble-metal substrates with 3D hierarchical nanostructures is presented. Finally, the applications of 3D hierarchical nanostructures as SERS substrates in many fields are discussed.

Keywords: surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy noble metal hierarchical nanostructure FDTD
