Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Trace analysis is crucial for disease diagnosis and environmental protection.
  • Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) offers reliable fingerprint detection but requires enhanced sensitivity.
  • Increasing the density of hotspots is key to amplifying Raman scattering and improving SERS sensitivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a SERS substrate with high-density hotspots for enhanced detection sensitivity.
  • To demonstrate the substrate's capability for sensitive and reproducible trace molecule detection.
  • To evaluate the substrate's performance in detecting dye molecules in environmental samples.

Main Methods:

  • Assembly of an ordered array of silver (Ag) nanocubes on a thiol-modified silicon substrate.
  • Fabrication of a SERS substrate designed to create high-density hotspots.
  • Testing the substrate's detection sensitivity using Rhodamine 6G as a probe molecule.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a limit of detection as low as 10^-6 nM for Rhodamine 6G.
  • Demonstrated a wide linear detection range from 10^-7 to 10^-13 M.
  • Exhibited good reproducibility with a low relative standard deviation (<6.48%).
  • Successfully detected dye molecules in lake water samples.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SERS substrate with ordered Ag nanocubes effectively increases hotspot density.
  • This approach significantly enhances detection sensitivity and reproducibility for trace analysis.
  • The substrate shows promise for practical applications in environmental monitoring and disease diagnosis.
