Abstract:
In this letter, we report on our interesting finding that the direct mixing of aqueous AgNO(3) and NH(2)OH solutions at room temperature leads to rapid, high-yield production of monodisperse, micrometer-scale, highly crystalline, nanotextured Ag dendrites. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect of these Ag dendrites was evaluated by using 4-aminothiophenol (p-ATP) as the Raman probe and the results demonstrate that they exhibit strong SERS effects.
