Abstract
The charge transfer (CT) process has attracted much attention due to its contribution to the improvement of spectroscopic phenomena such as Raman scattering and fluorescence. A current challenge is understanding what factors can influence CT. Here, it is demonstrated that the enhancement factor (EF) of CT (∼2000) can reach the level of electromagnetic enhancement (∼1680) when resonant CT is carried out by (Fermi level energy) band alignment between a metal nanoparticle (NP) and conjugated polymer (polypyrrole (PPy)) nanowire (NW). This band alignment results in an on- or off-resonant CT. As a proof of concept for CT based surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) template, the Ag NPs-decorated PPy NW is utilized to effectively enhance the Raman signal of rhodamine 6G (EF of 5.7 × 105). Hence, by means of our demonstration, it is proposed that controlling the band alignment should be considered an important parameter for obtaining a large EF of spectroscopic phenomena.
