Abstract |
Recent advances in Ag-doped WO3 nanofibers have provided an opportunity to fabricate high quality and low-cost surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. This work studied the performance and shelf-life of Ag-doped WO3 nanofiber-based substrates. Methylene blue (MB) molecules were used as analytical references. The prepared substrates were stored in ambient air at room temperature for the duration of 12 months. The Raman enhancement factor (EF) of freshly prepared sample was calculated to be 6.2 × 105. In the first 6 months, a small decrease in EF was observed. The EF was found to significantly decrease after samples were stored for 12 months. After 12 months, the relative standard deviations (RSD) of Raman signals changed from 10.35% to 50.29%, indicating non-uniform Raman enhancements at different locations of the sample. These suggested agglomerations of Ag nanoparticles, which deteriorated the Raman enhancement effect, after samples were stored for a prolonged period. |
