Abstract: Cu2O/Ag composite was prepared by using a very simple chemical reduction method. The SEM images indicated that Ag nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of octahedral Cu2O particles which were smooth and symmetrical. The surface of bare Cu2O particles is surrounded by large quantities of Ag nanoparticles, but is not form a compact shell. 4-Mpy molecules can be adsorbed not only on the surface of Ag nanoparticles, but also on the surface of Cu2O particles. The SERS enhancement on silver nanoparticles can be attributed to electromagnetic enhancement and chemical enhancement. On the other hand, Ag nanoparticles would also excite localized surface plasmon resaonace under the irradiation with suitable laser light, further enhancing the SERS signals of 4-MPy adsorbed on the near Cu2O particles. This method is exhibites some information on the catalatic properties of the surface of the octahedral Cu2O particles and provides a new kind of materials for SERS applications.
