Abstract:
Harnessing large hotspot volumes is key for enhanced gas-phase surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing. Herein, we introduce versatile, air-stable 3D 'Plasmonic bubbles' with bi-directional sensing capabilities. Our Plasmonic bubbles are robust, afford strong and homogenous SERS signals, and can swiftly detect both encapsulated and surrounding 4-methylbenzenethiol vapors.
