A very inexpensive and efficient SERS substrate based on ZTO nanostructures was fabricated using the thermal evaporation method.
The morphology and structure of grown ZTO nanostructures were further controlled by annealing the samples at different temperatures.
After structural and morphological characterization of these ZTO nanostructures, we have used them for detection of E. coli and Methylene Blue (MB) with least concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3M using a Raman spectrometer.
