ABSTRACT
Super hydrophobic porous silicon surface is prepared using a wet chemical synthesis route. Scanning electron microscopic investigation confirms a correlation between pore size and reaction time. SERS substrates are prepared by silver nanoparticle deposition on porous silicon surface. They exhibit excellent characteristics in terms of sensitivity, reproducibility, stability, and uniformity. They could detect rhodamine 6G in femtomolar range with SERS enhancement factor of ~ 6.1 × 1012, which is best ever reported for these substrates. Molecule-specific sensing of water pollutants such as methylene blue, glyphosate, and chlorpyrifos, is demonstrated for concentrations well below their permissible limits along with excellent enhancement factors. Porous silicon substrate functionalized with Ag nanoparticles demonstrates to be a promising candidate for low-cost, long-life, reliable sensors for environmental conservation applications.
