A seedless, one-step synthetic route to uniform bumpy silver nanoshells (AgNSs) as highly NIR sensitive SERS substrates is reported. These substrates can incorporate Raman label compounds and biocompatible polymers on their surface. AgNS based NIR-SERS probes are successfully applied to cell tracking in a live animal using a portable Raman system.

Size-controllable and uniform gold bumpy nanocubes for single-particle-level surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensitivity.
TLDR
Gold nanocubes modified to form roughened structures, namely, Au BNCs, with very strong and uniform single-particle surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensity were developed and are expected to be applicable in versatile fields as an ultrasensitive SERS nanoprobe or nanoantenna owing to its cubic outline and high uniformity.
Single-step and rapid growth of silver nanoshells as SERS-active nanostructures for label-free detection of pesticides.
TLDR
The Ag NS-based SERS approach successfully detected thiram on apple peel down to the level of 38 ng/cm(2) in a label-free manner, which is very promising with respect to its potential use for the on-site detection of residual pesticides.

Highly Sensitive Magnetic-SERS Dual-Function Silica Nanoprobes for Effective On-Site Organic Chemical Detection
TLDR
The M-AgNSs are composed of hundreds of Fe3O4 nanoparticles for rapid accumulation and bumpy silver shell for sensitive SERS detection by near-infrared laser excitation and the intensity of the SERS signal was strong enough to provide single particle-level detection.
Graphene oxide-encoded Ag nanoshells with single-particle detection sensitivity towards cancer cell imaging based on SERRS.
TLDR
This ultrasensitive nanoprobe was able to produce much more intense and simpler Raman signals even at a single particle level than the Ag nanoshell bearing a well-known Raman reporter, which is beneficial for the sensitive detection of a target in a complex biological system.

TLDR
This method is extendable to the analysis of other Raman-active thiol chemicals in different samples, and the substrate preparation approach can be modified for the fabrication of more PC substrates from other metallic nanobulge-deposited particles rather than silica only.

SERS labels for red laser excitation: silica-encapsulated SAMs on tunable gold/silver nanoshells.
TLDR
Silica-encapsulated self-assembled monolayers on tunable gold/silver nanoshells were used as labels for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using the spectroscopic advantages arising from maximum surface coverage and uniform molecular orientation of the Raman reporter molecules within the complete monolayer.
