It was recently reported that the SERS effect of the silver mirror substrate made by Tollen's method is much superior to that of other substrates. In this study, the experiments for comparison were done, where we checked the characteristics of silver mirror substrate made by different reductants, time interval and thermal treatments. We also surveyed correlations in substrates changes, the influence of SERS enhancement, and adsorbed orientation of phenol red.
