The application of surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) is severely restricted in many fields due to the SEIRA substrates are constructed mainly from expensive noble metals. Therefore, the development of new SEIRA substrates other than the noble metallic ones is very valuable. Here we introduced a new semiconductor SEIRA substrate, the indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles (NPs), to study the SEIRA property. The results demonstrate that the ITO NPs show the SEIRA property and the enhancement is dependent to the doping ratio of the heteroatoms of tin. The ITO NPs with the 5% atomic doping ratio show the highest SEIRA enhancement factor (EF), which is about 24. The limit of detection (LOD) of the 1,1'-dicarboxyferrocene (dcFc) molecule was as low as 10(-)(5) mol/L. The present study proves that the tindoped indium oxide can be used as a new and inexpensive semiconductor SEIRA substrate. It also proves that the doped semiconductor NPs have strong potentials for being used as emerging SEIRA substrates. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
