Abstract

In this study, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on uniform silver nanoparticles/pyramidal silicon arrays (Ag NPs/PSi) is prepared by combining of wet etching processes and magnetron sputtering method. The average size of the Ag NPs is about 30–50 nm and uniform distribution on the surface of the PSi which are beneficial to the sensitivity and stability of the SERS signal. For R6G probe, a significant enhancement has been obtained even for the lowest concentration of 10−10 M. For abamectin detection, the Ag NPs/PSi substrate has exhibited sensitivity as low concentration as 1 ppm. The vibration peaks of abamectin molecules are firstly identified and investigated.
