Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) could be a powerful technique for detecting trace gaseous sulfur mustard, but it is still challenging due to the difficulty in efficiently capturing sulfur-mustard molecules by normal SERS substrates. Here, a chemically trapping strategy is presented for such detection via coating an ultrathin metal-oxide sensing layer on a SERS substrate. In the strategy, a SERS substrate Au-wrapped Si nanocone array is designed and fabricated by Si wafer-based organic template-etching and appropriate Au deposition, and coated with an ultrathin CuO for chemically capturing sulfur-mustard molecules. The validity of such strategy has been demonstrated via taking the gaseous 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (a simulant of sulfur mustard, or 2-CEES for short) as the target molecules. The response of the CuO-coated SERS substrate to the gaseous 2-CEES is detectable within 10 min, and the lowest detectable concentration is 10 ppb or less. Further experiments have shown that there exists an optimal CuO coating thickness which is about 6 nm. The CuO coating-based capture of 2-CEES molecules is attributed to the surface hydroxyl-induced specific adsorption, which is subject to the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich-typed model. This study presents the practical SERS chips and new route for the trace detection of gaseous sulfur-mustard.
