Source abstract
Abstract
Flexibility and self-cleaning are the main research hot-spots in the development of plasma substrates for practical applications in Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at present. In this study, a flexible composite Au@Ag/ultrathin g-C 3N 4 /Graphene (AUG) film based on PDMS film was reported and used as a highly sensitive SERS substrate for the detection of rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules. The Au@Ag nanosphere array formed by self-assembly provided dense hot-spots, the ultrathin g-C 3N 4 enabled the composite to possess excellent photocatalytic ability, and the graphene enhanced SERS detection and photocatalytic performance while improving the stability of the composite film. The results showed that the AUG flexible composite film had a detection limit of 10 −12 M for R6G molecules. After 10 photocatalytic cycles of testing, the composite film maintained 83 % of SERS activity. Benefiting from the graphene covering the surface, the composite films showed only a 5 % decrease in SERS detection performance after 30 days of storage in air. The facile fabrication process of AUG composite film enables it to be an outstanding candidate for the flexible, inexpensive, and stable wearable SERS sensing systems.
