电场调控表面增强拉曼散射器件:三端与两端构型

Electric-field-modulated SERS devices: three-terminal and two-terminal configurations

  • 摘要: 表面增强拉曼散射(surface-enhanced Raman scattering, SERS)器件是将SERS活性材料与电极结构、栅极调控结构或电解池体系等电学元件集成,通过外部端口施加电场或类电场信号,实现对SERS性能动态甚至可重构调控的功能单元。在该构型中,外部电场通过直接或间接方式改变活性材料的费米能级或能带结构,调节电荷转移共振条件,从而动态优化不同检测对象和场景下的SERS性能,突破传统SERS材料性能固定的局限。然而,当前电场调控SERS器件种类繁多、原理各异,尚缺乏系统总结。本文依据器件构型将其归纳为三端与两端类型进行系统阐述:三端器件包括场效应晶体管和电化学三电极体系;两端器件则涵盖双电极电流调控,以及基于类电场的热电、热释电、铁电等效应调控方法。通过梳理各类器件的调控原理与性能特点,本文指出其在提高检测极限、非易失性调控及器件防伪等方面的发展前景,旨在促进SERS与电学、电化学领域的交叉融合,推动电场调控SERS器件的实用化进程。

     

    Abstract: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) devices are functional units that integrate SERS-active materials with electrical components, such as electrode structures, gating structures, or electrolytic cell systems. Through external ports, these devices apply signals, such as electric fields or electric-field-like effects, to achieve dynamic and reconfigurable regulation of SERS performance. In this configuration, the external electric field alters the Fermi level or band structure of the SERS-active materials, either directly or indirectly. This modulation adjusts charge-transfer resonance conditions and dynamically optimizes SERS performance for various analytes and scenarios, thereby overcoming the limitations of fixed performance in conventional SERS materials. However, current electric-field-modulated SERS devices exhibit diverse types and mechanisms, and a systematic review and classification are still lacking. Based on device configurations, this paper categorizes them into three-terminal and two-terminal configurations for a systematic exposition. Three-terminal devices include field-effect transistors and electrochemical three-electrode systems, whereas two-terminal devices encompass methods such as two-electrode current regulation and modulation based on electric-field-like effects, including thermoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric effects. By summarizing the modulation principles and performance characteristics of various devices, this paper identifies future prospects for improving detection limits, achieving non-volatile modulation, and enabling device anti-counterfeiting. It aims to promote cross-disciplinary integration among SERS, electronics, and electrochemistry, and to contribute to the practical application of electric-field-modulated SERS devices.
