Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an analytical technique with a broad range of potential applications in fields such as biomedicine, electrochemistry, and hazardous chemicals. However, it is challenging to develop SERS substrates that are both good sensitive and signal stable. Here we designed a superhydrophobic Nd doped MoS2 uniformly assembled on the activated carbon fiber cloth (CFC) to avoid the coffee ring effect and enrich the analyte, improving the enhancement factor (EF) to 3.9 × 109 and pesticide endosulfan (<10-10) analyte detection. We demonstrate our strategy by density-functional theory (DFT) calculations confirming that both adsorption energy and density of states are enhanced after doping Nd leading to SERS enhancement. Beside DFT calculations, our experiments also provide an effective means to demonstrate that the high SERS sensitivity is based on multiple charge transfer processes combined with the activated carbon cloth. Our results address the limitations of low sensitivity and limit of detection (LOD) of semiconductor SERS substrates for trace analysis and are a step towards practical applications.
