Abstract

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has garnered increasing attention for its ability to detect molecules even at low concentrations; however, the fabrication methods for SERS sensors require further study aimed at simple and rapid on-body and environmental monitoring. In this context, we propose an etching-free method for fabricating silver nanowires (AgNWs)-SERS sensors based on AgNWs. A lift-off process was conducted to create a pattern without etching, and lamination of the dry film resist overcame the limitations associated with liquid photoresists. Consequently, the resulting AgNW-patterned substrate was used to evaluate the pH of the test solution in the range of 1.1 and 12.0 and exhibited a Raman signal enhancement of 2 × 10⁶. This fast and cost-effective fabrication method, combined with the intrinsic flexibility of the substrate and rapid and reproducible response to pH variations, provides a foundation for applying AgNW-patterned substrates for microenvironmental analysis or developing wearable optical devices.

用于增强分子检测的银纳米线 SERS 传感器的免蚀刻制造方法

表面增强拉曼光谱（SERS）因其即使在低浓度下也能检测分子的能力而日益受到关注；然而，SERS 传感器的制造方法需要进一步研究，以实现简单、快速的体内和环境监测。在此背景下，我们提出了一种基于银纳米线（AgNWs）的无蚀刻银纳米线（AgNWs）-SERS 传感器制作方法。我们采用了一种无需蚀刻的剥离工艺来创建图案，干膜抗蚀剂的层压克服了与液态光刻胶相关的限制。因此，得到的 AgNW 图案基底可用于评估 1.1 和 12.0 范围内测试溶液的 pH 值，并显示出 2 × 106 的拉曼信号增强。这种快速、低成本的制造方法，加上基底固有的灵活性以及对 pH 值变化快速、可重复的响应，为将 AgNW 图案基底应用于微环境分析或开发可穿戴光学设备奠定了基础。
