Abstract

A unique substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering on vertical multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) arrays coated by Au nanoparticles was reported. The vertically aligned MWCNT arrays were prepared by thermal chemical vapor deposition at temperature of 720 °C, and then coated by gold nanoparticles by sputtering. The possible mechanisms for the SERS sensitivity were discussed. Raman spectroscopy experiments for detecting Rhodamine6G were carried on and some obvious Raman peaks were observed and analyzed.
