Sensitive and easily recyclable plasmonic SERS substrate based on Ag nanowires in mesoporous silica

摘要

Raman spectra were obtained by a Renishaw inVia with a laser of 532 nm and 0.5% strength, samples were arranged on the silica plate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the samples were recorded on a Rigaku D/MAX- 2550 diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation of wavelength 1.5406 Å, typically run at a voltage of 40 kV and current of 100 mA. UV-visible absorbance spectra were achieved for the dry pressed disk samples using a Scan UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Varian, Cary 500) equipped with an integrating sphere assembly, using BaSO4 as a reflectance sample. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were collected on a JEOL JEM 2010F, electron microscope operated at an acceleration voltage of 200 kV. By utilizing the Barrett−Joyner−Halenda (BJH) model, the pore volumes and pore size distributions were got from the adsorption branches of isotherms.
