Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In situ spectroscopic observation of electrochemical reactions on a carbon electrode should provide deep insights into reaction mechanisms at the molecular level. In this study, development of surface-enhanced spectroscopy using a nanostructured graphene was attempted in both visible and infrared regions. While plasmonic surface enhancement expected was not experimentally obtained in the infrared region, we found that enormous signal enhancement of Raman scattering in the visible region was induced by electrochemical potential application. This phenomenon was observed only when the graphene film contained atomistic defects. In addition, we developed a novel structure of cathodic electrodes based on the two-dimensional structure of graphene.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、挑戦的研究課題らしく、研究の過程で予想を超えた成果を得ることが出来た。高感度な界面分光法としてこれまで用いられてきた表面増強ラマン散乱は、金属ナノ構造のプラズモン共鳴を利用しているため、耐久性が低いという実用面の問題があった。今回見出した表面増強効果は、グラフェンとAu基板界面で起こっていると考えられ、長期安定性を持つ現象であることが実験的に確認された。本成果はこれまで知られていない現象であると考えられ、基礎学術的にもその機構解明は興味が持たれ、実用的にも従来技術の課題を解決する新分光技術への展開が期待される。
