“…Conventional noble-metal materials (such as gold and silver) with excellent SPR effects are the most widely employed SERS substrates. However, the shortcomings of noble-metal-based SERS substrates, for example, poor stability, scarcity, high cost, and low biological compatibility, limit their wide practical application. − To find a more suitable alternative to noble metals and obtain superior Raman scattering enhancement, research on SERS-related substrate materials has gradually turned to metal oxide semiconductors and some two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, for instance, TiO 2 , W 18 O 49 , Cu 2 O, WO 3– X , , ZnO, MoS 2 , , WS2, graphene oxide (GO), and SnSe 2 . They have outstanding merits in the aspects of low invasiveness, reproducibility, and versatility.…”
