Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Vibrational spectroscopy methods have found many applications in science, engineering, medicine, and other spheres of human life. In the past few decades, the tools for performing molecular analysis using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy have improved so much that it has become possible to detect target single molecules and visualize them in complex biological objects. One of the decisive roles in achieving such amazing results has been played by the combination of nanomaterials that facilitate enhancing IR absorption and Raman scattering, spectrometers, confocal, and probe microscopes. This has led to the development of unique precision techniques such as tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), surface-enhanced IR absorption (SEIRA), and surface-enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (SECARS), which now have tangible prospects to be widely implemented for accurate and reproducible non-contact measurements. This Special Issue aims to publish new research and state-of-the-art applications in all types of nanomaterials for TERS, SERS, SEIRA, and SECARS, including but not limited to the design, simulation, and engineering of metallic, dielectric, and hybrid nanostructures to improve molecular analysis performances, such as selectivity, reproducibility, accuracy, availability, and biosafety. It is my pleasure to encourage both theoretical and empirical work in this ever-expanding and exciting field of science and technology.

In the real world, analytes usually exist in complex systems, and this makes direct detection by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) difficult. Thin layer chromatography tandem with SERS (TLC-SERS) has many advantages in analysis such as separation effect, instant speed, simple process, and low cost. Therefore, the TLC-SERS has great potential for detecting analytes in mixtures without sample pretreatment. The review demonstrates TLC-SERS applications in diverse analytical relevant topics such as environmental pollutants, illegal additives, pesticide residues, toxic ingredients, biological molecules, and chemical substances. Important properties such as stationary phase, separation efficiency, and sensitivity are discussed. In addition, future perspectives for improving the efficiency of TLC-SERS in real sample detecting are outlined. Full article
