Silver-Nanorod Bundles: A Hierarchically Ordered Array of Silver-Nanorod Bundles for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Detection of Phenolic Pollutants (Adv. Mater. 24/2016).
G. Meng, N. Wu, and co-workers develop a hierarchically ordered array of silver nanorod bundles for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. As described on page 4871, in each bundle, small gaps are formed between adjacent silver nanorods upon solution evaporation. At these sites, "hot spots" are generated where analyte molecules are trapped, leading to high sensitivity of the SERS sensor.
