    Abstract:
    Making the substrates form highly dense, homogeneous, and stable hotspots regions is important for the sensitive detection of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). A new strategy based on solvent-induced (SI) SERS substrate to form a stable interval of the hotspot for detection was explored and the enhancement factor (EF) of our SERS substrates could reach about 1.4 × 109. By preferential adsorption of alcohol solutions by Q-Sepharose microsphere (QSS) in mixed water and alcohol solutions, the size of QSS@AuNPs was dynamically adjusted and the spacing between gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was adjusted to keep the substrate in the optimal hotspot mode for the sensitive detection of SERS in the liquid state. As a real application case, such a SI-SERS strategy was employed to determine SCN- in saliva and a limit of detection (LOD) of about 10-10 M could be achieved.
