Abstract
The formulation of substrates with reliable quantitative detection and robust molecular anchoring is crucial for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique. In this context, an appealing hydrophilic-hydrophobic polymer strip with Raman internal standard (IS) was generated by in-situ growing hydrophilic non-metallic black phosphorus/metal-organic frameworks (BP/ZIF-67) onto special regions of hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix, which dramatically promoted the concentration of target molecules. Furthermore, a specific detection of coronavirus disease 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) N-protein with a limit of 6.4 × 10−6 mg/mL was facilitated, benefiting from the selective capture rendered by the mesoporous surface of ZIF-67 and the ultra-high enhancement effect arose from BP/ZIF-67 hybrid structure-triggered charge transfer resonance process. Moreover, the extent of quantification in the SERS assay was significantly remedied due to the IS strategy. Especially, the slight local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) capability of BP could readily provoke additional electromagnetic field to complement its powerful chemical enhancement, which was significantly superior to other non-metallic substrates. Such an upgraded platform may deliver another prospering technology for dependable virus monitoring.
