Professor Lee Jihoon’s Research Team (Department of Electronic Engineering) Develops a Dual Hybrid Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) System
Professor Lee Jihoon's research team (Department of Electronic Engineering) at the university succeeded in developing a dual surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) system by applying meta surface core-shell gold-platinum hybrid nanoparticles together with Ph. The hybrid surface-enhanced SERS platform was developed in the form of integrating molybdenum disulfate (MoS2) nanoparticles into core-shell gold-platinum hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) to enhance molecular Raman vibrations of crystal violet (CV).
It provides a high-density background AuNP and a
high-concentration electromagnetic hotspot of a core-shell AuPt HNP with a
unique structure. Core-shell gold-platinum hybrid nanoparticles were prepared
by a unique dual-step solid-state wetting method, while molybdenum disulfate
nanoparticles provided sufficient charge transfer to a rich active site.
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an excellent
analysis/sensing technology that recognizes and detects molecules and
substances even at extremely low molecular concentrations. Surface-enhanced
Raman spectroscopy is an advanced analytical technique that can significantly
improve the very weak Raman signal of an analyte and is widely used in various research
fields such as biosensors, clinical diagnosis, chemical species identification,
environmental monitoring, and food safety.
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is an ultrafine
analysis/sensing technique that enhances Raman scattering by plasmonic
nanostructures and materials. The advantage of surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy is that it can measure regardless of the state of the sample
(solid, liquid, gas), and also can measure a very small amount of virus without
pre-treatment of the sample to be measured. In addition, surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy is a non-destructive measurement method, and even if the measured
sample is re-measured several times, it does not affect the sample. The
enhancement factor of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is theoretically
possible up to 1011, which means that a single molecule can be sensed. Usually,
the sensitivity of the Bayer sensor is at least several thousand/tens of
thousands of molecules, which means that a biosensor based on surface-enhanced
Raman spectroscopy can have a sensitivity of several thousand times or more.
