Résumé
We explore the preparation and use of graphene dispersions and graphene-nanoparticles composites viawet routes in order to create organized thin films (for passivation, adhesion and design of SERS substrates, seeFig.) At large concentrations, the liquid crystal ordering is an opportunity to spontaneously organize the materials.At lower concentrations, a special care has to be taken during the deposition of the thinnest films.In this work, we have focused on the design and the characterization of thin layers made of graphene oxide andgold nanoparticles (GO/AuNps) for their Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) properties. The objectivehere is to establish the main rules that control (during the deposition) the structure of the films and their resultingSERS properties. We have used various techniques such as dip-coating, spin coating with varying parameters, aswell as surface functionalization before deposition. The thin films have been characterized by AFM and theirperformance have been tested with Raman spectroscopy.
