Present and Future of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

Judith Langer, +64 more
- 28 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: Prominent authors from all over the world joined efforts to summarize the current state-of-the-art in understanding and using SERS, as well as to propose what can be expected in the near future, in terms of research, applications, and technological development.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Method for Promoting Assembly of Metallic and Nonmetallic Nanoparticles into Interfacial Monolayer Films

TL;DR: Nonmetallic particles including TiO2 and SiO2 are allowed to be assembled into dense interfacial layers using the same procedure as is used for metallic particles, opening up a route to a new family of nanostructured functional materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards practical and sustainable SERS: a review of recent developments in the construction of multifunctional enhancing substrates

TL;DR: Here, the state-of-the-art progress in the construction of smart multifunctional enhancing substrates are reviewed, holding the key to achieving sustainability and widespread applications of SERS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Waste plastics recycling for producing high-value carbon nanotubes: Investigation of the influence of Manganese content in Fe-based catalysts.

TL;DR: The addition of Mn in the Fe-based catalyst enhanced the metal-support interactions and the dispersion of metal particles, thus leading to the improved catalytic performance in relation to filamentous carbon growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy as a Probe of the Surface Chemistry of Nanostructured Materials.

TL;DR: The opportunity that this approach to SERS provides is illustrated with examples where the surface chemistry is both characterized and controlled in order to create functional nanomaterials.
