摘要

Abstract

Graphene-plasmonic hybrid platforms have attracted an enormous amount of interest in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS); however

the mechanism of employing graphene is still ambiguous

so clarification about the complex interaction among molecules

graphene

and plasmon processes is urgently needed. We report that the number of graphene layers controlled the plasmon-driven

surface-catalyzed reaction that converts para-aminothiophenol (PATP)-to-

′-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) on chemically inert

graphene-coated

silver bowtie nanoantenna arrays. The catalytic reaction was monitored by SERS

which revealed that the catalytic reaction occurred on the chemical inertness monolayer graphene (1G)-coated silver nanostructures. The introduction of 1G enhances the plasmon-driven surface-catalyzed reaction of the conversion of PATP-to-

′-DMAB. The chemical reaction is suppressed by bilayer graphene. In the process of the catalytic reaction

the electron transfer from the PATP molecule to 1G-coated silver nanostructures. Subsequently

the transferred electrons on the graphene recombine with the hot-hole produced by the localized surface plasmon resonance of silver nanostructures. Then

a couple of PATP molecules lost electrons are catalyzed into the

′-DMAB molecule on the graphene surface. The experimental results were further supported by the finite-difference time-domain method and quantum chemical calculations.
