Description

Liquid-phase nano infrared spectrum plasmon resonance enhanced substrate and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a plasmon resonance enhanced substrate used as a liquid phase nano infrared spectrum, a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the field of super-resolution spectroscopy.
Background
The infrared absorption spectrum and its imaging technology are important research methods for analyzing the properties and changes of substances by spectrum and imaging based on the interaction between electronic transition, chemical bond vibration and incident light of the substances. In the infrared spectrum range, absorption spectrum acquisition and imaging analysis of nanometer level spatial resolution are realized, physical and chemical properties of substances can be researched under the sub-wavelength scale, and fine structure and functional characteristics and correlation are revealed.
However, limited by the shortcomings of the signal acquisition method, research on nanoscale infrared spectroscopy and imaging technology is limited to acquisition of infrared absorption signals of polymer films and biomacromolecules with certain thickness at the solid/gas interface. If the nano infrared technology is popularized to liquid phase, the research on material transmission, electronic exchange, energy transfer and molecular recognition is carried out on solid/liquid, gas/liquid, liquid/liquid interfaces and the like, and the nano infrared technology has an important promoting effect on the fields of life science, electrochemical energy storage and conversion, sensing, catalysis and the like based on a liquid phase system.
The liquid phase nanometer infrared spectrum collection scheme which is mainstream at present is excited by using a total internal reflection light path. According to the scheme, incident infrared laser is converged through the total internal reflection prism, so that a probe of the nano infrared detector is excited, absorption interference of a liquid phase background on infrared light can be effectively avoided, and meanwhile, nano infrared spectrum signal amplification to a certain degree is realized by means of intrinsic enhancement of an electromagnetic field on the surface of a total internal reflection light path. However, the internal reflection prism is expensive, the construction is complicated, and the optical path adjustment is difficult. Meanwhile, the internal reflection technology can only provide electromagnetic field enhancement less than ten times, and the analysis effect is poor. The current optical path design can only be used for the analysis of polymer thin films with tens of nanometers. Therefore, if a better infrared enhanced optical path design can be provided, and simple, quick and low-cost near-field signal amplification and solution background signal shielding are realized, the detection sensitivity of the nano infrared spectrum can be improved, and the application range of the nano infrared spectrum can be widened.
Among the existing electromagnetic field enhancement techniques, the use of a plasmon resonance structure is one of the most excellent and mature methods. The plasmon resonance structure is a specially designed regular and ordered nano-structure array, can gather incident light with specific wavelength, and generates a 'hot spot' with a strong electromagnetic field on the surface of the structure. Molecules located within the "hot spot" are subject to a gain photopic interaction, the infrared absorption of which can be significantly improved relative to total internal reflection prisms. However, at the present stage, no construction scheme and application of a plasmon structure capable of being applied to liquid-phase nano infrared spectrum research exist. The scheme has the advantages of low cost, easy operation, large-scale preparation and the like.
