title: A self-cleaning porous TiO2-Ag core-shell nanocomposite material for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
abstract: A porous TiO(2)-Ag core-shell nanocomposite material with a large surface area was synthesized by in situ hydrolyzation of Sn(2+)-grafted titanium glycolate microspheres in the presence of Ag(+) ions. The as-prepared nanocomposite material was shown to serve as an efficient self-cleaning surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate.
