The first experimental and theoretical evidence of the surface‐catalyzed reaction of p, p′‐
dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) produced from para‐aminothiophenol (PATP) by local …

p-aminothiophenol (PATP) is an important molecule for surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS). It can strongly interact with metallic SERS substrates and produce …

Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is increasingly becoming an important
analytical technique in various fields, which can mostly be attributed to the significant …

A rapid, sensitive, and label-free SERS detection method for bacteria pathogens is reported
for the first time. The method, which is based on the combination of polyethylenimine (PEI) …

We propose that aromatic nitro and amine compounds undergo photochemical reductive
and oxidative coupling, respectively, to specifically produce azobenzene derivatives which …

Detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms of surface enhanced Raman
scattering (SERS) remains challenging for different experimental conditions. We report on …

The performance of chemical reactions has been enhanced immensely with surface

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags can be utilized as optical labeling
nanoprobes similar to fluorescent dyes and quantum dots for bioimaging with additional …

Precise fabrication of subtle nanogaps amid individual nanoparticles or between adjacent
ones to obtain the highest SERS enhancement is still a challenge. Here, we reported a …

Not all regions of optical field nanolocalization and enhancement are suitable sites for
chemical transformations on plasmonic metals. We illustrate the concept using chemically …
