We report a robust technique to fabricate a cost-efficient Raman substrate which is composed of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated gold nanoparticles layer on commercial aluminum foil. The layer of metal nanoparticles on the aluminum foil, i.e., the nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) structure was fabricated by spraying nanoparticle colloidal solution directly on the foil. The detection limit (LOD) of NPoM substrate is investigated by performing the SERS for Rhodamine 6G (R6G) with the concentration ranging from mM to nM without any post treatment of the substrate. The findings show that the LOD of 1 nM and maximum intensity enhancement factor of ~ 24 is accomplished. Field enhancement owing to reflection from the metallic mirror is the reason behind the signal enhancement and it would be beneficial for routine clinical applications, trace chemical detection, and disease diagnostics.
