Ag nanosheet-assembled micro-hemispheres as effective SERS substrates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Mar 7;47(9):2709-11. doi: 10.1039/c0cc04482b. Epub 2010 Dec 23.

Abstract

Large-scale Ag nanosheet-assembled micro-hemispheres, with sufficient hot spots on their surfaces, have been achieved on an indium tin oxide substrate via electrodeposition. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements demonstrate that the Ag nanosheet-assembled micro-hemispheres can serve as sensitive and reproducible SERS substrates.
