Surface-enhanced Raman scattering microscopy

The catalytic activity of Ag/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles immobilized on quartz surfaces was tested for 4-nitro-3-pyrazole carboxylic acid with help from surface plasmon resonance, scanning electron microscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements [1417], The SERS spectra showed that the nitro group reduces to amino group.

Silver films are formed on meso- and macroporous silicon (mejo-PS and macro-PS) by the immersion plating. Scanning electron microscopy reveals the formation of Ag islands along the dendritic structure at the surface of mejo-PS and Ag nanoparticles over the pore walls in the case of macro-PS. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering activity of Ag-macro-PS substrates appears to be greater in comparison with that for Ag-mcio-PS. [Pg.507]

Fortunately, the success of surface science, optical and x-ray techniques in the last few decades has provided access for electrochemists to structural information of electrode/electrolyte interfaces. The optical and X-ray spectroscopic techniques have mainly been used in situ, i.e., in the presence of the bulk electrolyte. These techniques include EXAFS (extended x-ray absorption fine structure), SXS (surface x-ray scattering), XSff (x-ray standing wave technique, SERS (surface enhanced Raman scattering), NOM (nonlinear optical methods) IRS (infrared spectroscopy), MS (Mossbauer spectroscopy), RLS (radioactive labelling spectroscopy), STM (scanning tunneling microscopy), and...

The tremendous advances that have occurred in the spectroscopic analysis of the electrode/electrolyte interface have begun to provide a fundamental understanding of the elementary processes and the influence of process conditions. Surface-sensitive spectroscopic and microscopic analyses such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) [1], potential-difference infrared spectroscopy (PDIRS) [2], surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy (SEIRS) [3], sum frequency generation (SFG) [4], and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) [5,6] have enabled the direct observation of potential-dependent changes in molecular structure [2,7] chemisorption [8,9], reactivity [10], and surface reconstruction [11].

Chapter 3, by Chen and collaborators, concentrates on the spectroscopic investigation of the SEI layer on anodes as well as cathodes of LIBs, including the nanometer-sized SnO anode, and the nano-MgO modified LiCoOa cathode. The effect of nano scaled materials on the performance of LIBs is well discussed using combination of spectral techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

This handbook presents a comprehensive overview on the physics of the plasmon-emitter interaction, ranging from electromagnetism to quantum mechanics, from metal-enhanced fluorescence to surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and from optical microscopy to the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, filling the gap in the literature of this emerging field. It is useful for graduate students as well as researchers from various fields who want to enter the field of molecular plasmonics. The text allows experimentalists to have a solid theoretical reference at a different level of accuracy and theoreticians to find new stimuli for novel computational methods and emerging applications.
