- It has been developed by rearranging the gaps and size of gold nanoparticles.
- To be specific, the scientists varied inter-particle distance between gold nanoparticles using a cycle-by-cycle growth approach by optimizing the nucleation-growth step, using dendritic fibrous nanosilica, whose fibers were then used as the deposition site for gold nanoparticles. ....
