ABSTRACT
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has great potential for the analysis of molecules adsorbed on metals with rough surfaces or substrates with micro-/nanostructures. Plasmonic coupling between metal nanoparticles and the morphology of the rough metal surface can produce "hot spots" that enhance Raman scattering by adsorbed molecules, typically at micro- to nanomolar concentrations, although high enhancement factors can also facilitate single-molecule detection. This phenomenon is widely applicable for chemical analysis and sensing in various fields. In this review, the latest research progress on SERS micro-/nanosensors is evaluated, and the sensors are classified according to their individual functions. Furthermore, the design principles and working mechanisms of reported SERS-active micro-/nanostructured substrates are analyzed, and the design features adopted to overcome the difficulties associated with precision detection are explored. Finally, challenges and directions for future development in this field are discussed. This review serves as a design guide for novel SERS-active substrates.
