Surface enhanced Raman scattering of adsorbates on Au–CsPbIBr2 perovskite-based nanocomposites: charge-transfer and electromagnetic enhancement

Abstract

In this study, perovskite-based nanocomposites as surface enhanced Raman scattering substrates were designed by physically sputtering Au nanoparticles onto fabricated all-inorganic CsPbIBr₂ perovskite films, which provide much stronger SERS signals as compared to normal Au or perovskite substrates. Their synergism enhancement mechanisms and influence factors, including hybrid layer sequence, fabrication parameters and excitation source, are discussed. In addition, the prepared composite substrate exhibits excellent uniformity, reproducibility and time stability. This study promotes an easily prepared perovskite-based substrate for SERS-related applications and develops further understanding of molecule-semiconductor–noble metal nanostructure interfacial interactions.
