The invention relates to a
graphene sensitivity enhancing ITO
metamaterial U-shaped SPR (
Surface Plasmon Resonance) sensor, which comprises a U-shaped
optical fiber, wherein the U-shaped area of the U-shaped
optical fiber is provided with a Gr / Au@ITO
nanorod hybrid material structure. The preparation method comprises the steps of (1) preparing a U-shaped
optical fiber, and preparing a gold
nanoparticle layer in the U-shaped area of the U-shaped optical
fiber; (2) preparing an ITO nano array structure; and (3) loading a
graphene layer. According to the invention, the U-shaped optical
fiber is adopted to serve as a
transmission medium of light, the Gr / Au@ITO
nanorod hybrid material structure is prepared on the surface of the U-shaped optical
fiber, the sensitivity of the SPR sensor is enhanced by the highly enhanced local
electromagnetic field generated in nanometer gaps between the uniform
nanorod structures, and the sensitivity is further enhanced by the carrier flow brought by the
graphene layer. The sensor has the outstanding advantages of small volume, light weight, easy carrying, high sensitivity, stable property, strong and short biological affinity and the like, and has wideapplication prospect in the detection aspects of trace gases, liquid, chemical elements,
DNA and the like in the fields of
biology,
chemical engineering,
medicine and the like.
