| Summary: | Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an optical technique for molecule identification. However, fabrication of flexible and structured SERS substrates for performance improvement in a facile and cost-effective manner is challenging. In this work, we reported a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based flexible SERS substrate by femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW) technology. The femtosecond laser-treated PTFE surface is 3D hierarchical micro-/nano-structures, and the structured PTFE-based SERS chip shows excellent performance enhancement. As a result, 10<sup>−7</sup> M can be detected, which shows excellent potentials in developing flexible SERS for wearable electronics. |
