Abstract：Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is spectroscopic technique with ultra-sensitivity and high selectivity and has attracted great attention because of the potential applications in various fields. P-aminothiophenol (PATP) is often used as SERS probe molecule because it is easy to adsorb on SERS substrates and produce high-quality SERS signals. TiO2 is extensively used as photocatalyst although its photocatalytic efficiency is still needed to be improved. Noble metal-modified TiO2 is one of current important techniques for maximizing the efficiency of photocatalytic efficiency. In this article, a kind of bifunctional SERS substrates, Ag/TiO2 nanotubes, with photocatalysis property were prepared, the TiO2 NTs were prepared by anodic oxidation and noble metal Ag nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of TiO2 NTs by photoreduction method. The photocatalysis of PATP on Ag/TiO2 NTs and on Ag mirror substrates were studied. The SERS signals of PATP were decreased with the ultraviolet irradiation time, however, on Ag mirror substrates, SERS intensity of PATP was slightly changed, which indicated the photocatalysis reaction of PATP on Ag/TiO2 NTs substrates. The kinetics analysis results indicate that the kinetics of the photocatalysis follows the first order of the dynamical reaction.
