Description
TiO2-graphene oxide (GO) inverse opal materials were shown to be active plasmon-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates. The SERS activity of the substrates was analyzed using three different probe molecules: phenethylamine (PEA), methylene blue (MB), and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA). The morphology of the substrates was investigated by SEM and AFM. Prepared TiO2-GO inverse opals substrates can be reused up to five times with minimal loss of signal, rendering them perfect candidates to be used as highly stable, low-cost, metal-free, recyclable SERS substrates.
