Dynamic nanostructural change of a gold (Au) thin film formed at a liquid/air interface by oscillatory electrodeposition was probed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) under in situ condition. The oscillatory formation of the Au film was explained by taking into account that the electrodeposition proceeded under diffusion-limited conditions when the potential shifts to the positive during the potential oscillation, whereas it proceeded under reaction-limited conditions during the negative potential shift. Ex situ SEM inspections of the deposits formed under the oscillatory conditions revealed that each potential shift is accompanied by growth of needle-like nanocrystals and formation of a continuous film via the thickening and coalescing of the nanoneedles, respectively. The SERS intensity was high when the potential moves from the negative end to the positive end of the oscillation, whereas it became lower when the potential moves from the positive to the negative end, clearly indicating that the SERS probes the dynamic nanostructural change from the nanoneedles into a continuous film of the deposits in the course of the oscillatory electrodeposition.
