Real-Time and Tunable Substrate for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy by Synthesis of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles via Electrolysis

Abstract Here we show the capability of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles formed on copper (Cu) electrodes by the electrolysis as a real time active substrate for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We have experimentally found that using just the ultra pure water as the electrolyte and the Cu...
