Padrez Y, Golubewa L. Black Silicon Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Biosensors: Current Advances and Prospects. BIOSENSORS 2024; 14:453. [PMID: 39451667 PMCID: PMC11505860 DOI: 10.3390/bios14100453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2024] [Revised: 09/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/23/2024] [Indexed: 10/26/2024]
Abstract
Black silicon was discovered by accident and considered an undesirable by-product of the silicon industry. A highly modified surface, consisting of pyramids, needles, holes, pillars, etc., provides high light absorption from the UV to the NIR range and gives black silicon its color-matte black. Although black silicon has already attracted some interest as a promising material for sensitive sensors, the potential of this material has not yet been fully exploited. Over the past three decades, black silicon has been actively introduced as a substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-a molecule-specific vibrational spectroscopy technique-and successful proof-of-concept experiments have been conducted. This review focuses on the current progress in black silicon SERS biosensor fabrication, the recent advances in the design of the surface morphology and an analysis of the relation of surface micro-structuring and SERS efficiency and sensitivity. Much attention is paid to problems of non-invasiveness of the technique and biocompatibility of black silicon, its advantages over other SERS biosensors, cost-effectiveness and reproducibility, as well as the expansion of black silicon applications. The question of existing limitations and ways to overcome them is also addressed.

Mi G, Lv J, Que L, Tan C, Huang J, Liu Z, Zhao L. Improvement in near-infrared absorbance attenuation by using nanometer black silicon composited with gold nanoparticles. DISCOVER NANO 2023; 18:82. [PMID: 37382766 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-023-03847-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
In order to solve the problem of near-infrared (NIR) absorbance attenuation of silicon, a method of preparing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the micro-nano-structured black silicon (B-Si) is proposed. In this study, the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of AuNPs excited by a light field is used to achieve B-Si materials with broad spectrum and high absorption. The results show that nanometer B-Si composited with 25-nm AuNPs has an average absorption of 98.6% in the spectral range of 400-1100 nm and 97.8% in the spectral range of 1100-2500 nm. Compared with ordinary B-Si, the absorption spectrum is broadened from 400-1100 nm to 400-2500 nm, and the absorption is increased from 90.1 to 97.8% at 1100-2500 nm. It is possible to use the B-Si materials in the field of NIR-enhanced photoelectric detection and micro-optical night vision imaging due to the low cost, high compatibility, and reliability.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1948. [PMID: 36903063 PMCID: PMC10004710 DOI: 10.3390/ma16051948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Black silicon (bSi) is a highly absorptive material in the UV-vis and NIR spectral range. Photon trapping ability makes noble metal plated bSi attractive for fabrication of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates. By using a cost-effective room temperature reactive ion etching method, we designed and fabricated the bSi surface profile, which provides the maximum Raman signal enhancement under NIR excitation when a nanometrically-thin gold layer is deposited. The proposed bSi substrates are reliable, uniform, low cost and effective for SERS-based detection of analytes, making these materials essential for medicine, forensics and environmental monitoring. Numerical simulation revealed that painting bSi with a defected gold layer resulted in an increase in the plasmonic hot spots, and a substantial increase in the absorption cross-section in the NIR range.

Abstract
Since black silicon was discovered by coincidence, the special material was explored for many amazing material characteristics in optical, surface topography, and so on. Because of the material property, black silicon is applied in many spheres of a photodetector, photovoltaic cell, photo-electrocatalysis, antibacterial surfaces, and sensors. With the development of fabrication technology, black silicon has expanded in more and more applications and has become a research hotspot. Herein, this review systematically summarizes the fabricating method of black silicon, including nanosecond or femtosecond laser irradiation, metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE), reactive ion etching (RIE), wet chemical etching, electrochemical method, and plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) methods. In addition, this review focuses on the progress in multiple black silicon applications in the past 10 years. Finally, the prospect of black silicon fabricating and various applications are outlined.
