Nanostructured silver is known to yield the highest signal-enhancement factors in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, but its low chemical stability toward oxidation presents a challenge in the realization of Ag-based SERS substrates with long operating lifetimes. Here, a study of the long-term stability of silver dendrites as SERS substrates is reported. SEAS spectra of 1,2-benzenedithiol monolayers on Ag dendrites, acquired over a period of time in excess of 1 year, shows appreciable degradation with time. However, no degradation is observed in the spectra of monolayers deposited on Ag dendrites that were coated with a monolayer-thin Au film deposited by an immersion plating process. X-ray photoelectron spectra confirm the oxidation of the uncoated Ag dendrites whereas no chemical changes are detected in the Au-coated ones. These results suggest that the galvanic displacement of Au on preformed Ag nanostructures provides a suitable route to producing SERS-active substrates with long operating and/or shelf lifetimes.
