Abstract

Surface- and Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS and TERS) techniques exhibit highly localized chemical sensitivity, making them ideal to study surface reactions on catalytic solids. Catalyst structures, adsorbates and intermediates can be observed in low quantities at hot spots where electromagnetic fields are the strongest, providing ample opportunities to elucidate reaction mechanisms. However, factors such as substrate instability and insufficient signal enhancement still limit the applicability of SERS and TERS in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. By the use of sophisticated colloidal synthesis methods and advanced techniques, like shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), these challenges could be overcome.
