“…5a . As expected, all coated nanorods exhibited strong SERS sensitivity, and a gradual decrease in the Raman signal intensity of MB was observed with an increase in the thickness of Al 2 O 3 coating layers 32 . Afterwards, the Raman spectra of MB were measured again in every 10 days using the above samples as SERS substrates (stored in air).…”

“…It has been reported that coating Ag nanostructures with protective metal oxide layers was able to suppress their surface reactions with air 23 25 28 29 , and might be helpful to preserve their morphology at elevated temperatures 31 32 . For example, coating Ag islands with Al 2 O 3 films could maintain their SERS activity for a period of 34 days 29 ; coating Ag nanorods with TiO 2 thin films by glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique could sustain their morphology and stabilize the SERS performance at 100 °C (above which coalescence of Ag nanorods was observed) 31 .…”

“…It has been long recognized that the Raman enhancement of metal nanostructures depends strongly on the distance between metal surfaces and adsorbed molecules 19 42 43 . We therefore investigated the TiO 2 layers’ effect on the sensitivity of SERS substrates, using crystal violet (CV) as a model analyte.…”

“…However, the previously reported techniques such as the use of metal oxide or inert metal coating layers only offer stability improvement at the sacrifice of SERS sensitivity1122232427282930313233. In order to truly examine the value of the proposed technique towards SERS substrate fabrication, the stability of both p-AuAg-NWs array (Fig.…”
