Název v původním jazyce

Metal nitrides as an alternative material for SERS platforms: TiN and beyond

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Currently, SERS spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive analytical techniques. The method is rapid, accurate, and non-destructive, relying on plasmonic nanostructures at its core. To date, the literature has been dominated by SERS platforms based on plasmonic metals, primarily gold and silver. The optical properties and applications of noble metal nanoparticles in SERS spectroscopy have been studied in depth for over 40 years. As a result, the potential of well-established noble metal plasmonic nanostructures is nearing its limit. Despite decades of development, the main challenge remains the design and production of highly efficient and reliable plasmonic substrates suitable for SERS. A high-quality SERS platform should provide a stable enhancement factor (EF) across the entire substrate (point-to-point uniformity) and between different substrates (sample-to-sample reproducibility), while also exhibiting high chemical and temporal stability. For potential biomedical and biological applications, a novel SERS platform must exhibit low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Therefore, the synthesis of novel, metal-free plasmonic nanomaterials continues to be an area of active research. One of the most promising materials is metal nitrides. Recent literature has demonstrated the formation of metal nitride-based SERS platforms with activity comparable to, or even surpassing, that of standard platforms based on noble metals. In this review, we describe the current state of the art and the prospects for applying metal nitride-based nanomaterials as SERS platforms.
