2D materials coated plasmonic structures for SERS applications
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride,
are new kind of materials that can serve as substrates for surface enhanced
Raman spectroscopy (SERS). When combined with traditional metallic plasmonic
structures, the hybrid 2D materials/metal SERS platform brings extra benefits,
including higher SERS enhancement factors, oxidation protection of metal
surface, and protection of molecules from photo-induced damage. This
perspective gives an overview of recent progress in 2D materials coated
plasmonic structure in SERS application. This paper focuses on the fabrication
of the hybrid 2D materials/metal SERS platform and their applications for Raman
enhancement.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with
