SERS enhancement induced by the Se vacancy defects in ultra-thin hybrid phase SnSex nanosheets

nanosheets have a practical application in trace SERS detection, without the participation of metal particles. These results demonstrate that, through hybrid phase materials, the SERS sensitivity of 2D layered nanomaterials can be improved. It provides a kind of foreground non-metal SERS substrate in monitoring or detecting and provide a deep insight into the chemical SERS mechanism based on 2D layered materials.
