Problems solved by technology

However, although the SERS technology has achieved good development and the preparation of metal substrates is becoming more and more mature, there is still a problem: the preparation process of metal substrates with high enhancement factors is generally complicated, and the morphology of active substrates must be uniform and stable on a large scale. When the size of the nano-topography is at the nanometer level, or even a few nanometers, a strong local electromagnetic field can be generated, thereby triggering a strong SERS effect. However, ordinary experimental conditions are not easy to operate and control, and it is difficult to synthesize several nanometers. Metal nanomaterials with uniform structure
[0004] At present, most of the detection technologies for TNT and other explosives have some shortcomings, and cannot fully achieve the expected effect and meet the needs of explosives detection in actual work.

Abstract

The invention discloses a base material, particularly a base material that can generate enhanced Raman effect to excite hot spots on the surface, and a method for generating extremely strong surface enhanced Raman effects by stimulating the hot spots during a transient process. and characterization of surface-enhanced Raman effects occurring during transient processes. The base material is constructed by in-situ growth of ZnO nanorod arrays on galvanized silicon wafers and then evaporation of Ag to create a surface structure that can produce enhanced Raman effect hot spots. It is further stimulated by the rational use of the capillary effect between a specific solvent and its surface structure. Enhance the Raman effect hotspot, and at the same time, the present invention also discloses the characterization means of the excitation method. The process of the invention is simple and stable, and the prepared base material can obtain a further enhanced Raman spectrum through the hot spot excitation method, making it highly sensitive and selective in explosive detection.

Background technique [0002] Raman spectroscopy is a kind of scattering spectrum, which is derived from molecular vibration and rotation. From Raman spectroscopy, molecular vibration energy level and rotational energy level structure information can be obtained, so as to infer the structure and composition of molecules. Raman spectroscopy mainly has the following advantages: (1) It can directly obtain the information of groups and chemical bonds and the influence of microenvironment on the sample structure at the molecular level; (2) It is a non-destruct...
