Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanomaterial synthesis, and in particular to an ultrafine MoO2 nanowire bundle with surface-enhanced Raman effect, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] As an important analytical technique, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) boasts high sensitivity, short detection time, and ease of on-site detection. It holds immense promise for applications in trace chemical substance determination, biological tissue imaging, product authenticity verification, and catalytic reaction monitoring, making it a leading research area internationally. Although SERS technology has developed rapidly in recent years, several challenges still hinder its large-scale application. Firstly, the most common Raman-enhancing substrates are currently made from precious metals such as gold and silver nanomaterials. However, the high cost and complex preparation of gold substrates lead to high usage costs in large-scale detection activities. Secondly, while silver is only about one percent the price of gold, it is easily oxidized by air and reacts readily with sulfur compounds, quickly losing its Raman enhancement effect and reducing its practicality. Therefore, developing low-cost and highly stable SERS substrate materials is imperative.
