We developed a rapid synthesis method for monodispersed Au–Ag alloy nanosponges (NSs) with high density of'hotspots' for near-infrared surface enhanced Raman scattering (NIR-SERS) by a selective laser-irradiation melting and chemical dealloying process. Au@ Ag core–shell nanocubes were first in situ converted into solid alloyed Au–Ag nanospheres by a rapid laser irradiation igniting quick fusion and quenching process within two minutes. The alloyed Au–Ag nanospheres transformed into Au–Ag alloy NSs after treated by a chemical dealloying process. Different from traditional thermal annealing, it thus can effectively avoid the heat fusion between nanoparticles, and maintain the alloyed Au–Ag nanospheres and NSs in high monodispersity. Importantly, due to the strong plasmonic coupling in nanopores (pore size less than 10 nm), the obtained Au–Ag alloy NSs show a broad and intense localized surface plasmon resonances absorption ranging from visible to near-Infrared region (500–1200 nm). The accessibly open structures for absorbing targets and high-density of'NIR-hotspots' endow the Au–Ag alloy NSs substrate with superior sensitivity in NIR-SERS detection of 4-aminothiophenol with an enhancement factor of∼ 10 7. This work not only provides a simple pathway for rapid preparation of NIR-SERS substrate for biosensing, but also might open up a new horizon for fabricating spongy nanostructures with other elements.
