Abstract

Ag-graphene composite nanosheets (AGCN) with adjustable size and well-controlled densities of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) as a reductant and stabilizer are reported. The obtained AGCN substrate is extremely suitable for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
