A method to reduce defects in the assembly of Ag nanocubes by using a patterned substrate as a template is reported. The prepared substrate, with high-density and uniform hotspots, exhibits high sensitivity and reproducibility as a SERS substrate that can be used for analyzing various analytes.
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is an important analytical technique. Its detection sensitivity and reproducibility depend on the density and distribution of SERS hotspots. Self-assembly is an efficient method to produce of SERS substrates due to its easy accessibility. However, the assembled defects can hardly be avoided on large area, which could lower the density and uniformity of the hotspots, leading to poor SERS performance. Herein, we report a method to reduce the defects by taking a patterned substrate as template to confine the assembly of Ag nanocubes. The template was prepared based on the combination of photo lithography and selfassembly. Confined by the template, the Ag nanocubes were assembled closely in each dots of the pattern. The limit of detection (LOD) is down to 3.42 x 10-17 M and the enhanced factor (EF) is up to 3.44 x 1010 on the prepared substrate for detecting rhodamine 6G (R6G). In addition, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the different substrates is 8.75 %. The assembled Ag nanocubes exhibits high sensitivity and reproducibility as SERS substrate, which are contributed by the formation of high-density and uniform hotspots. The prepared substrate can be used for detecting trace amounts of melamine in milk with LOD of 2.06 x 10-7 M and RSD of 6.91 %, so the substrate is applicable for analyzing various analytes.
