A SERS substrate based on black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) and silver nanoparticles co-sensitized titanium dioxide nanorod arrays has been successfully fabricated for limit trace detection test. The substrate shows high sensitivity, good uniformity, and excellent repeatability and stability, making it a promising candidate for SERS applications. The improved SERS activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of BPQDs, silver nanoparticles, and titanium dioxide nanorod arrays.
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on plasma metal nanoparticles and non-metal quantum dots co-sensitized semiconductor has been used in limit trace detection test. In this research, BPQDs (black phosphorus quantum dots) and Ag nanoparticles co-sensitized TiO2 nanorod arrays were successfully fabricated as powerful SERS substrate. For BPQDs/Ag/TiO2, its detection limit of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) molecules could achieve even at as low as 1.0 x 10(-12 )M, and the enhancement factor (EF) is up to 2.5 x 10(5), exhibiting an excellent SERS sensitivity. Furthermore, a good uniformity is also observed during the detection process, the relative standard deviation of 4-MBA Raman fingerprint peak intensity at 1587 cm(-1) is only 7.3 %. Furthermore, BPQDs/Ag/TiO(2 )substrate is demonstrated to have good repeatability and stability. The synergistic effect of BPQDs, Ag nanoparticles and TiO2 nanorod array is mainly responsible for improved SERS activity, namely, high-density hot spot, optical capture expansion and enhanced charge transfer.
