Abstract
Hollowed Ag nanostructures are, for the first time, electrodeposited on ITO glass without use of surfactant. The hollowed Ag nanostructure was investigated via a collaboration of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), XRD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), XRD, and UV-vis. Results exhibited that the formation of the hollowed Ag nanostructure can be interpreted as the synergy effect of twin defect and low nucleation driving force. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of rhodamine 6G and adenine molecules adsorbed on the surface of these Ag nanostructures were recorded. The smallest RSD of 1651 cm−1 Raman bands of rhodamine 6G was 14.7 %, indicating that the hollowed Ag nanostructures can be utilized for reproducible SERS application. Through comparison, it was found the good crystallinity was beneficial for SERS.
