Nanocomposites including both metals and semiconductors can control the charge states in the metals that can enhance catalysis activity along with plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy. Here we demonstrate the use of conducting polymer materials with plasmonic nanomaterials to boost up to five-fold plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy signal strength and support oxidation of target molecules through supporting charge transfer processes. This work demonstrates the use of conducting polymers as a semiconductor platform to support plasmonic catalysis and sensing.EnglishCatalysisPolymerSERSRaman singleSemiconductorsOrganic semiconductorsHybrid composite based on conducting polymers and plasmonic nanomaterials applied to catalysis and sensingJournal Article971810.1088/2053-1591/ac7d9a2023-09-18https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ie/
