title: Ultrasound assisted interfacial synthesis of gold nanocones.
abstract: This communication describes a facile method for the synthesis of conical-shaped Au nanoparticles with a hollow cavity by combining interfacial reaction and ultrasonic cavitation. The Au nanocones showed an enhancement factor of 7.7 × 10(8) in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection.
