Synthesis and characterization of perm-selective SERS-active silica-coated gold nanospheres for the direct detection of small molecules

Noble metal nanomaterials have numerous uses in plasmonic and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection applications; however, upon the addition of analytes, nanomaterials often undergo uncontrolled aggregation which leads to inconsistent signal intensities. To overcome this limitation, the...
