Herein, we present a novel and simple method to fabricate a large-area ordered Au/Ag nanobowl (Au/AgNB) array based on SiO₂ colloidal crystals by wet chemosynthesis. The arrays combine the advantages of gold and silver and have been well recognized as excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates in practical application. First of all, a 3D SiO₂ colloidal crystal was arrayed on the glass substrate as a template. Then, a layer of Au nanoshell (AuNS) was deposited on the 3D SiO₂ template by in-situ growth method with the help of Au nanoparticle (AuNP) seeds. Afterward, silver nanoshells were further deposited on the surface of AuNS by HCHO-reduced Ag⁺, then Ag/Au double nanoshell (Ag/AuNS) array was formed. A monolayer-ordered reversed Ag/AuNB array was conveniently obtained by an acrylic ester-modified biaxial-oriented polypropylene (BOPP). The ordered Au/AgNB array with adjustable periodic holes, shapes, and sizes could be obtained when the SiO₂ core was etched by HF solution. With prominent stability and reproducibility, the SERS analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of this ordered Au/AgNB array could reach 2.23×10⁷, which shows high SERS-enhancing activity and can be used as a universal SERS substrate.
