Abstract

Smart design of advanced substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity is challenging but vital. Herein, we synthesized a new kind of AgNPs/MnO2@Al flexible substrate as a SERS substrate for the detection of the analyte rhodamine 6G (R6G). The fabrication of porous MnO2 nanoflakes on Al foil was conducted via a facile hydrothermal strategy. Owing to the large active surface area of the MnO2 nanoflakes, the Ag nanoparticles were immobilized and displayed superior SERS performance with a low detection concentration of 1 × 10−6 M for R6G. In addition, the SERS performance was found to be strongly related to the morphology of the MnO2@Al substrate material. Our smart design may provide a new method of construction for other advanced SERS substrates for the detection of R6G.
