Abstract:Core–shell gold nanorod (AuNR)@silver (Ag) nanostructures with their unique properties have gained enormous interest and are widely utilized in various applications including sensor systems, catalytic reactions, diagnosis, and therapy. Despite the recent progress, simple, effective, low-cost, and easy-to-tune strategies are heavily required to fabricate these nanoparticles (NP) systems. For this, we propose the employment of the polymer of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA) as a ligand molecule. A conforma… Show more
“…113 Subsequently, the manipulation of gold and silver particles has found innumerable applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) studies. 114,115 Recently, copper nanoparticles have been exploited as an SERS substrate. 116 Currently, SERS is considered the most sensitive and selective analytical detection method.…”

“…40 Shortly, the SERS effect is created through two mechanisms: electromagnetic enhancement (EE) which depends on the enhancement of the electromagnetic fields, and chemical enhancement (CE) which originates from the emergence of charge-transfer complexes between the analyte molecule and the SERS substrate. [40][41][42][43][44] WO 3Àx nanosystems provide opportunities in terms of stability and low cost. Also, due to the oxygen vacancies, WO 3Àx exhibits noble metal-comparable SERS activity through the CE.…”
Oxygen vacancies in tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanostructures (WO3−x) dominate the major characteristics of the material and determine their activity in various applications including photocatalysis and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
