“…Thus, the portability or exibility of SERS substrates matters. Also, exible SERS substrates, including paper-based (Yu & White, 2013), polyester (PET) lm-based (F. Chen, Li, Belafhal, Cha q, & Sun, 2018), tape-based (Liyanage et al, 2018), silicon chip-based (N. Chen et al, 2017) and swab-based (Gong et al, 2014), have been developed by demands of applications in recent years. Although these approaches may have improved the e ciency and reduced the cost of the fabrication of SERS substrates, more works are needed for the evaluation and development of applications with a wider range of target molecules.…”
