Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, in particular to a test device for producing Raman hotspots. Background Art

[0002] Raman spectroscopy, like infrared spectroscopy, is a molecular vibration spectrum that can reflect the characteristic structure of molecules. However, the Raman scattering effect is a very weak process, and its light intensity is generally only about 10 times that of the incident light intensity. -10 Therefore, Raman signals are very weak, and any Raman spectroscopy study of surface adsorbed species almost always requires the use of some kind of enhancement effect. Raman spectroscopy analysis includes qualitative and quantitative analysis, while SERS spectral processing and identification includes spectral preprocessing, feature extraction, feature classification (qualitative analysis), and mathematical modeling (quantitative analysis). Due to factors such as the low signal-to-noise ratio of Raman spectroscopy in trace detection, weak signals being overwhelmed by the fluorescence background, and interference from other unknown components in complex systems, automatic SERS signal identification presents great challenges.

[0003] Currently, when creating Raman hotspots for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the hotspots are randomly generated in the liquid due to the uneven distribution of materials (such as metal nanoparticles) used in the manufacturing process, which leads to aggregation or precipitation. This is uncertain and reduces the efficiency of hotspot generation. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a test device for producing a Raman hotspot includes: a workbench 1, on which a liquid pool 2 and a hotspot pool 3 are provided;

[0027] Furthermore, a liquid outlet 21 is provided at one end of the liquid pool 2 , and a liquid inlet 31 is provided at one end of the hot spot pool 3 . The liquid pool 2 and the hot spot pool 3 are connected via a liquid channel 4 .

[0028] Specifically, one end of the liquid channel 4 is connected to the liquid outlet 21 of the liquid pool 2, and the other end of the liquid channel 4 is connected to the liquid inlet 31 of the hot spot pool 3, so that the liquid flows from the liquid outlet 21 of the liquid pool 2 through the liquid channel 4 and then enters from the liquid inlet 31 of the hot spot pool 3.

[0029] Please continue reading Figure 1 In the present application, the liquid channel 4 is further provided with a filter assembly 5, which includes a nanofiltration membrane 51. The nanofiltration membrane 51 can remove large particles or impurities in the liquid, ensuring that only tiny nanoparticles or solutes pass through. By controlling the speed at which the liquid flows through the nanofiltration membrane 51, the distribution of nanoparticles in the liquid channel 4 can be adjusted to maintain the performance and stability of the substrate.

[0030] Specifically, the nanofiltration membrane 51 is disposed in the middle of the liquid channel 4 , and the pore size of the nanofiltration membrane 51 is 1-50 nm.

[0031] It's important to explain that when molecules in a liquid adsorb on the surface of precious metal particles, they become polarized by the photoelectric field under laser irradiation, generating a localized electric field. Typically, the localized electric field in the gaps between the particles is greater than the external electric field, creating what are known as "hot spots." Molecules in these hot spots generate strong Raman scattering.

[0032] Please continue reading Figure 2 In the present application, the hotspot pool 3 is concave to form a receiving cavity 32. The hotspot pool 3 is also provided with a heating component 6. The heating component 6 includes an enhanced particle layer 61 and a heating chip 62, which can effectively reduce the randomness of hotspot generation and improve the efficiency of hotspot generation.

[0033] Furthermore, the enhanced particle layer 61 covers the surface of the hot spot pool 3 , and the heating chip 62 is disposed at the bottom of the hot spot pool 3 .

[0034] Specifically, the enhanced particle layer 61 uses AgNPs@SiO2 nano-enhanced particles. Silver nanoparticles have a strong local electric field enhancement effect and can significantly enhance the Raman scattering signal. When the silver nanoparticles come into contact with the molecules to be measured, the enhancement of the local electric field will lead to a significant improvement in the Raman signal, increasing the detection capability of low-concentration analytes; the silica coating can protect the silver nanoparticles, prevent their oxidation and degradation, ensure the uniformity of the nanoparticles in the hot spot area, and thus stabilize the SERS hotspot, improving the uniformity and repeatability of the overall signal.

[0035] The heating chip 62 can precisely control the temperature of the hot spot area. The temperature change can affect the local electric field and surface enhancement effect of the nanoparticles, helping to reduce signal fluctuations caused by temperature gradients and further improve the repeatability and reliability of the overall signal.

[0036] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
