A typical SERS system for catalysis includes the following components:
Excitation Source: A laser that provides the necessary energy to excite the Raman scattering. SERS Substrate: Metal nanostructures (commonly gold or silver) that enhance the Raman signal. Raman Spectrometer: An instrument that detects and analyzes the scattered light to produce a Raman spectrum. Sample Holder: A device to hold the catalytic material and ensure proper interaction with the SERS substrate.
