Evaluation of silica TLC plates as Low-cost substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)

Herein, we report a simple, low-cost substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). We utilized TLC plates as SERS substrates that has an edge over other paper-based substrates. Rhodamine 6G is used as Raman probe molecule to evaluate the performance of substrate.
