Investigation of Sulfur Doping in Mn–Co Oxide Nanotubes on Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Properties

Doping engineering is an efficient strategy to manipulate the optoelectronic properties of metal oxides for sensing, catalysis, and energy applications. Herein, we have demonstrated the fabrication of sulfur (S)-doped Mn-Co oxides to regulate their band and surface electronic structures, which is beneficial to enhancing the charge transfer (CT) between the metal oxides and their adsorbed molecules. As expected, significantly enhanced SERS signals are achieved on S-doped Mn-Co oxide nanotubes, and the minimum detection concentration can reach as low as 10
