The study of SERS effect and adsorption property on Cu surface for PNBA

With different amounts of KCl added in the PNBA (p- nitro benzoic acid) aqueous solution, the factors affecting the SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) are studied systematically on the surface of Copper. The results show that in PNBA aqueous solution the occurrence of SERS effect strongly depends on the existence of Cl-. The amount of KCl added affects not only the emergence and the intensity of SERS effect, but also the adsorption properties such as the adsorption manner, etc.
