Single-crystal silver nanowires: Preparation and Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) property

Abstract

a b s t r a c t Keywords:Silver nanowire AAO SERS Ordered Ag nanowire arrays with high aspect ratio and high density self-supporting Ag nanowire patterns were successfully prepared using potentiostatic electrodeposition within the confined nanochannels of a commercial porous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template. X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction analysis show that the as-synthesized samples have preferred (220) orientation. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy investigation reveal that large-area and ordered Ag nanowire arrays with smooth surface and uniform diameter were synthesized. Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) spectra show that the Ag nanowire arrays as substrates have high SERS activity.

Detection of Prohibited Fish Drugs Using Silver Nanowires as Substrate for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

“…Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) with well-controlled dimension and finite length are valuable plasmonic structures, on account of the tremendous enhancement of polarizability and appropriate waveguides in virtue of the transmission light across the (sub)micrometer length scale [7,8]. Thanks to their large surface areas, coupled with their electromagnetic properties, Ag NWs have been successfully applied as a SERS substrate for the analysis of Rhodamine 6G, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, pyridine, and so on [9,10]. …”

Synthesis of confined Ag nanowires within mesoporous silica via double solvent technique and their catalytic properties

“…Silver nanowires have received considerable attention recently due to their potential applications in photoluminescence, photonic crystals, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, electrical device, and isotropic conductive adhesives [1][2][3][4][5]. Up until now, various methodologies, including vapor-phase synthesis [6,7], wet chemical methods (e.g., polyol method [8,9] and hydrothermal synthesis [10,11]), have been developed for the preparation of Ag nanowires.…”

Silicone/Ag@SiO2core–shell nanocomposite as a self-cleaning antifouling coating material

“…Higher antibacterial properties are caused by increased {111} crystal planes. 20 The polar properties of edged Ag spheres with densely packed {111} lattice plane, which exhibits the lowest surface energy per unit area and stability over other Ag nanostructures (cubic, wire, and triangular), which contain few {111} planes can afford a coating material with a high antifouling properties. 15,20 Also, the hydrophobicity of a coated lm is enhanced by insertion of Ag NPs.…”
