Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a fingerprint spectroscopic technique with ultra-high sensitivity. It has been widely used in surface science, material science, biomedicine, drug analysis, food safety inspection, and pollutant detection, as a promising technique for trace analysis. In this paper, we comprehensively reviewed the development and applications of SERS and related techniques, including tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), shell-isolated nanoparticle-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SHINERS), and discussed its research frontiers and development directions in the future.
