title: Photocatalytic growth of dendritic silver nanostructures as SERS substrates.
abstract: We report a one-step photocatalytic synthesis method of dendritic silver nanostructures. These self-organised structures show an excellent Raman enhancement enabling the detection of analytes from dilute solutions by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
