Article Abstract
Two essential factors in powerful surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy analysis of trace pesticide residues are , high sensitivity and efficient sampling. Herein, owing to elastic properties, a stretched Ag nanowire (Ag NW)-tape under the strain of 15% formed a wrinkled structure with periodic microridges and microgrooves, where abundant nanogaps were generated by the aggregated Ag NWs. Compared with the unstretched Ag NW-tape substrate, an appreciable signal enhancement of the modified 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules with a ratio of 2.6 was discerned from the sophisticated SERS substrate due to the electromagnetic enhancement induced by the relatively high density of "hot spots" around the Ag NW aggregates. The as-fabricated Ag NW-tape substrate performed admirably in detecting 4-MBA and demonstrated an enhancement factor of 1.16 × 10. Moreover, for the detection of tetramethylthiuram disulfide, thiabendazole, and their mixture, the relatively high recovery rates of over 88% were favorably realized by the Ag NW-tape substrate with superior sensitivity, distinct flexibility, and adhesiveness. This fascinating SERS substrate, dependent on the flexible and adhesive Ag NW-tape, is promising for application in SERS analysis of trace residues on various practical surfaces.

Heterostructures have emerged as promising contenders for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. Nevertheless, the construction of a composite SERS substrate with well-matched energy levels persists as a challenge, primarily due to the restricted selection of SERS-active materials. In this study, we successfully synthesized a Ag nanoparticles (NPs)/ZnO nanorods (NRs)/GaN heterojunction featuring type II staggered energy bands, which provides an outstanding platform for efficient SERS detection.

The demand for rapid, field-deployable detection of hazardous substances has intensified the search for plasmonic sensors with both high sensitivity and fabrication simplicity. Conventional approaches to plasmonic substrates, however, often rely on lithographic precision or complex chemistries limiting scalability and reproducibility. Here, a facile, one-step synthesis of vertically aligned 2D nanosheets composed of intergrown CuO/CuO crystallites is presented, fabricated via oxygen plasma discharge on copper substrates.

Nanoparticles in their pure colloidal form synthesized by laser-assisted processes such as laser ablation/fragmentation/irradiation/melting in liquids have attained much interest from the scientific community because of their specialties like facile synthesis, ultra-high purity, biocompatibility, colloidal stability in addition to other benefits like tunable size and morphology, crystalline phases, new compounds and alloys, and defect engineering. These nanocolloids are useful for fabricating different devices mainly with applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, sensors, photodetectors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, and solar cells. In this review article, we describe different methods of nanocolloidal synthesis using laser-assisted processes and corresponding thin film fabrication methods, particularly those utilized for device fabrication and characterization.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown potential for early disease diagnosis via urinary metabolomics, but still faces challenges in achieving stable hot spots and processing complex clinical data. In this study, the preparation of chiral gold nanostars with precisely controllable branch size, number, and sharpness was realized by investigating the effects of l-GSH and CTA ( indicates halides) on site occupancy, reduction rate, and selective adsorption on crystal facets. Raman spectroscopic characterization using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a reporter molecule revealed that nanoparticles with fewer branches, larger branch bases, and smoother surfaces exhibited excellent SERS activity, with an analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of 5.

This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of nanostructured Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films combining the conjugated copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene--3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PDOF--PEDOT) with spherical and triangular silver nanoparticles (AgNP). The LB technique allowed precise control over the molecular arrangement and distribution of the nanoparticles at the air-water interface, resulting in compact, reproducible and structurally ordered nanocomposite films. The structural and morphological properties of the interfacial monolayers and LB films were investigated using surface pressure-area isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy, polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and quartz crystal microbalance.
