Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful technique for molecular detection.
  • Developing switchable and controllable SERS substrates remains a challenge.
  • Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) offer unique properties for material design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Anchoring of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and analytes using PIL units.
  • Utilizing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) for temperature responsiveness.
  • Investigating SERS activity under temperature stimulus.

Main Results:

  • The developed substrate exhibits reversible "ON-OFF" SERS activity controlled by temperature.
  • PIL units effectively anchor AuNPs and analytes to hot spots.
  • The PNIPAm segment provides excellent thermal responsiveness.
  • Anion exchange in PILs allows for flexible introduction of new analytes.

Conclusions:

  • A novel temperature-responsive SERS substrate with "ON-OFF" switching was successfully designed and synthesized.
  • The substrate demonstrates excellent reversibility, controllability, and flexibility.
  • This work is expected to have broad applications in practical SERS sensors.
