## Abstract To increase the sensitivity in surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements, the high surface area of zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) was used. ZnO NWs on silicon substrates were prepared and used as substrates for further growth of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Ultraviolet (UV)

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Graphite oxide (GO) was successfully silylated by 3‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane. The surface‐enhanced Raman scattering spectrum of the silylated GO sheets sandwiched between colloidal silver nanoparticles and silver piece is presented. The Raman signal shows a 10^4^ enhancement compared to that of bulk GO. The large Raman enhancement is most likely a result of electromagnetic (EM) coupling between the colloidal silver nanoparticles (localized surface plasmon) and the silver piece (surface plasmon polariton), creating large localized EM fields at their interface, where the silylated GO sheets reside in this sandwich architecture.
