The theoretical analysis shows that nickel can exhibit weak surface-enhanced Raman scattering effect when the surface is roughened properly, and the enhancement factor is about 102-104. Compared to the typical highly SERS-active Ag substrate, the SERS of nickel does not show the character of surface plasma resonance of the metal. The calculated result shows that the lightning-rod effect contributes the most to the SERS of Ni nanowires in the EM mechanism. The theoretical prediction is in good agreement with the experimental result qualitatively and may be instructive to finding a new method to fabricate the SERS-active transition-metal substrate.展开更多

The configuration of water at the ionic liquid/electrode interface and the relationship between the potential of zero charge （pzc） and the molar frac- tion of water were deduced through the changes in the vibrational frequency of OH stretching mode. A small Stark effect value was determined in the system with lower molar fraction of water. With the increase of the water concentration, the OH stretching vibrational frequency gradually shifted to the high wavenumber region, the pzc was also moved positively, and the Stark effect value of OH stretching vibrational mode increased. It reached about 76 cm-1 V-I in the 1 tool L-1 [BMIM]Br aqueous solution. These differences were mainly contributed by hydrogen bonding and the configuration of water in the ionic liquid solution. In the solution with lower water content, water molecules existed at the interface layer through hydrogen bond- ing with cations, while in the higher content solution, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between water molecules was strengthened and the possibility of the direct interaction between the water molecule and electrode surface increased.展开更多
