  • Description: In this work, we study the charge transfer improvement by the combination of two semiconductors of SERS. The energy levels of the semiconductor, when combined, become intermediate energy levels that support the charge transfer from the HOMO to the LUMO level, amplifying the Raman signal of the organic molecules. The SERS substrates of Ag/a-Al2O3–Al/ZnO nanorods with high sensitivity are prepared for detecting dye rhodamine 6G (R6G) and metronidazole (MNZ) standard. The highly ordered vertically grown ZnO nanorods (NRs) are first developed on a glass substrate by a wet chemical bath deposition method. Then, ZnO NRs are covered with an amorphous oxidized aluminum thin film by a vacuum thermal evaporation method to produce a platform with a large surface area and high charge transfer performance. Finally, silver nanoparticles (NPs) are decorated onto this platform to form an active SERS substrate. The structure, surface morphology, optical properties, and elements in the sample are investigated by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), reflectance spectroscopy, and energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Rhodamine 6G is used as a reagent to evaluate the SERS substrates with an analytical enhancement factor (EF) of ∼1.85 × 1010 at the limit of detection (LOD) of 10−11 M. These SERS substrates are used to detect metronidazole standard at a LOD of 0.01 ppm and an EF of 2.2 × 106. The SERS substrate exhibits high sensitivity and stability for promising wide application in chemical, biomedical, and pharmaceutical detection.
