Abstract :
Silver thin films were deposited on glass with an electroless solution deposition technique, commonly known as the Tollen´s test for aldehydes. The deposition process was investigated by using Raman spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) where propionaldehyde was used as the reductant. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the film morphology.
