This invention relates to the field of nanomaterial synthesis, and particularly to an ultrafine MoO2
nanowire bundle exhibiting surface-enhanced Raman (SEPA) effect, its preparation method, and its applications. The preparation method includes the following steps: 1) A
sol-gel reaction is carried out using P123, water, n-
butanol, concentrated
hydrochloric acid, and TEOS as raw materials. The
reaction product is then heated and aged, followed by washing,
filtration,
drying, and
calcination to obtain a hexagonal porous template. The aging temperature is 60–140°C. 2)
Ammonium molybdate is dissolved in water and mixed with the template obtained in step 1). After stirring and standing, the mixture is dried for the first time, calcined under a
hydrogen-containing
inert atmosphere, and then the template is removed with
hydrofluoric acid. After washing and a second
drying, the final product is obtained. The ultrafine MoO2
nanowire bundle has a
diameter of approximately 5 nm, a regular and controllable morphology, good
repeatability and stability, and exhibits a strong
localized surface plasmon resonance effect and outstanding SEPA effect.
