SERS and SHINERS @ ISE 2010

After a great first day, ISE 2010 continues to host a vast array of top-quality electrochemistry.

This morning I heard a very interesting talk by Zhong-Qun Tian, PCCP Advisory Board member, on shelled-nanoparticle-based SERS. Shell-insulated nanoparticle enhanced Raman spectroscopy, or ‘SHINERS’, is a new technique which Tian is developing, which overcomes many of the drawbacks encountered with tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS).

Read some recent PCCP Perspective review articles in this area:
