Artificial intelligence assisted surface enhanced Raman scattering sensing achieves effective on-site analysis.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology, with its high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, strong environmental adaptability and portable non-destructive testing characteristics, enables rapid on-site analysis without complex sample pretreatment, making it an ideal choice for on-site detection. However, issues such as complex matrix interference and the generation of large volumes of data restrict its broader application. The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) provides innovative solutions for optimizing the design of SERS substrates and enhancing the accuracy of spectral analysis. This review systematically summarizes the latest developments in on-site detection and analysis technology based on SERS-AI. Firstly, the key issues of target signal acquisition under interference from sample matrix and testing environment are discussed, and the signal acquisition process is optimized through rapid pretreatment methods and improve the specific affinity between substrate and target molecules. Secondly, it is introduced how to improve the design of SERS substrate materials, especially the enhancement of hotspot quality, to achieve stronger SERS signal enhancement effect, and the development of portable SERS substrates suitable for on-site detection is discussed. In terms of intelligent empowerment, it demonstrated how to integrate AI into the design of SERS substrate synthesis processes, optimize the preparation process using machine learning algorithms, and combine portable Raman spectrometers with SERS-AI systems to achieve efficient preprocessing and qualitative and quantitative analysis of Raman spectroscopy data redout on-site. Finally, examples were used to illustrate how SERS-AI technology can be applied in environmental monitoring, food safety control, and medical diagnosis fields. This review aims to provide comprehensive theoretical support and technical references for promoting the widespread application of SERS-AI technology in field analysis.
