We report for the first time the development of a new surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active silver chloride silica-glass substrate prepared by using in situ precipitation of silver chloride particles in sol-gel films as a precursor for nanoparticles of silver. The controlled precipitation

✦ Synopsis
A method was developed to prepare silver-doped sol-gel Ðlms for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. The technique involves Ðrst doping silver ions as a silver ammine complex into a sol-gel [ Ag(NH 3 ) 2 ' ] matrix, followed by chemical reduction of the doped silver ions into the corresponding silver metal particles. The silver-doped sol-gel Ðlms coated on a glass substrate exhibit strong enhancement (24 000-fold) of Raman scattering from molecules adsorbed on the surface. Very stable SERS spectra of benzoic acid over a period of 48 h were obtained with the new silver substrate.

Coatings on glass substrates with a weight composition of 60 CuO : 40 were prepared using the sol-gel SiO 2 method. To accomplish this, copper was incorporated in the starting solution prior to the Ðlm formation. Then thermal treatments in air on the freshly made coatings produced samples with the a
## Abstract Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a new optical spectroscopic analysis technique with potential for highly sensitive detection of molecules. Recently, many efforts have been made to find SERS substrates with high sensitivity and reproducibility. In this Research News article,
The surface-enhanced Raman (SER) scattering of p-nitroaniline adsorbed on silver colloids was investigated and compared with previous results obtained on a silver electrode. The SER spectra change signiÐcantly on varying the pH of the colloidal dispersions and correspond to di †erent adsorbed specie
