Low temperature synthesis of plasmonic molybdenum nitride nanosheets for surface enhanced Raman scattering.

ABSTRACT: Molybdenum nitride (?-MoN) is an important functional material due to its impressive catalytic, energy storage, and superconducting properties. However, the synthesis of ?-MoN usually requires extremely harsh conditions; thus, the insight into ?-MoN is far behind that of oxides and sulfides of molybdenum. Herein, we report that ultrathin ?-MoN nanosheets are prepared at 270?°C and 12?atm. WN, VN, and TiN nanosheets are also synthesized by this method. The ?-MoN nanosheets show strong surface plasmon resonance, high conductivity, excellent thermal and chemical stability as well as a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.1%. As a promising surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate, the ?-MoN nanosheets exhibit a 8.16?×?106 enhanced factor and a 10-10 level detection limit for polychlorophenol.
