This work reports the formation of both solid and hollow lignin micro- nanofibers, at room temperature without polymer binders, by co-electrospinning. These fibers, after thermal stabilization, are carbonized to produce carbon nanofibers (see figure) with specific surface areas similar values found for active carbon.

A new general procedure to interpret surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra has been developed in order clarify the controversy concerning relevant enhancement mechanism of this type spectra. The analysis consists detecting presence charge transfer (CT) by correlating most enhanced SERS bands with ab initio calculated geometries (ΔQ) and vibrational frequencies (Δv) isolated molecule its radical anion. This CT is assumed be identical that resonance between electronic ground state...

Carbendazim (MBC) is a fungicide widely used in agriculture, and there are serious concerns regarding the health risks that could be caused by this fungicide. Here, we explore its ultrasensitive detection surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). First, to obtain maximum SERS signal, adsorption of target molecule onto metallic surface essential. Therefore, study MBC nanoparticle under different experimental conditions, such as synthesis methods nanoparticle, variable excitation wavelength,...

The analysis of photoinduced charge transfer (CT) processes in a particular SERS spectrum is not trivial task since each system must be studied separately and no universal selection rules can proposed for this kind enhancement mechanism. Despite this, we found out previous studies that the SERS-CT spectra benzene-like molecules are mainly characterized by strong totally symmetric 8a ring-stretching vibration have used as propensity rule to recognize presence resonant CT these adsorbates....

A general model concerning the role of electrode potential on charge-transfer enhancement mechanism SERS is proposed, justifying existence a parameter β which reduces effectiveness in order to shift excited level.
