title: Gold nanospikes formed through a simple electrochemical route with high electrocatalytic and surface enhanced Raman scattering activity.
abstract: We demonstrate a simple electrochemical route to produce uniformly sized gold nanospikes without the need for a capping agent or prior modification of the electrode surface, which are predominantly oriented in the {111} crystal plane and exhibit promising electrocatalytic and SERS properties.
