Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy on Ag−WO₃/TiO₂ Inverse Opal Film Substrates by Maria-Athina Apostolaki, Elias Sakellis, Polychronis Tsipas, Spiros Gardelis, Vlassis Likodimos

“…Here, WO₃/TiO₂ photonic crystal films in the form of three-dimensional inverse opals were fabricated via the co-assembly of polymer colloidal templates with water-soluble precursors in order to simultaneously grow both constituent metal oxides with tailored electronic properties and photonic band gaps. The surface modification of compositionally tuned WO₃/TiO₂ inverse opals by Ag nanoparticles is demonstrated to be an efficient method to boost SERS efficiency in the detection of 4−mercaptobenzoic acid via the synergy of plasmonic effects with charge transfer and slow-light trapping.…”
