“…Several studies report using different types of composed metallic/non-metallic NPs for increasing the LSPR sensitivity of biosensors [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Thus, indium tin oxide (ITO) was used for its conductivity and high optical transmittance, and due to their excellent conductive properties [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], an array of gold nanoparticles on ITO was used for SERS measurements [ 24 ]. Moreover, the plasmonic performance of metallic NPs depends on the chemical compositions and physical dimensions of the metallic nanoparticles [ 25 , 26 ].…”
