Abstract

The possibility of using silver nanoparticles photochemically deposited on TiO2 nanotubes produced on Ti foil using electrochemical anodization as a Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Substrates was investigated. Analysis of the Ag-TiO2 substrates showed spot to spot variation of the Raman intensities which can be attributed to the presence of hot spots on the surface. The highest Raman intensity was obtained from the substrate with 5 minutes deposition of silver. This substrate was then exposed to methylene blue and the resulting Raman spectra showed characteristic peaks of the dye. The fabricated Ag-TiO2 substrates have the potential of being SERS active substrates.
