Herein, we report a general synthetic pathway to various shapes of three-dimensional (3D) gold nanoframes (NFs) embedded with a Pt skeleton for structural rigidity. The synthetic route comprises three steps: site-specific (edge and vertex) deposition of Pt, etching of inner Au, and regrowth of Au on the Pt framework. Site-specific reduction of Pt on Au nanoparticles (NPs) led to the high-quality of 3D Au NFs with good structural rigidity, which allowed the detailed characterization of the corresponding 3D metal NFs. The synthetic method described here will open new avenues toward many new kinds of 3D metal NFs.

This study presents a synthesis method for Au tetrahedral nanoframes (Td NFs) through a rationally designed multiple-step process, followed by an investigation of their distinctively ordered self-assembly for enhanced performance in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Two distinct Au Td NF building blocks are synthesized, exhibiting mono-rim or dual-rim morphologies. The mono-rim structure lacks intra-nanogaps, whereas the dual-rim configuration features well-defined intra-nanogaps.

Advancements in nanotechnology led to significant improvements in synthesizing plasmon-enhanced nanoarchitectures for biosensor applications, and high-yield productivity at low cost is vital to step further into medical commerce. Metal nanoframes via wet chemistry are gaining attention for their homogeneous structure and outstanding catalytic and optical properties. However, nanoframe morphology should be considered delicately when brought to biosensors to utilize its superior characteristics thoroughly, and the need to prove its clinical applicability still remains.

An array of metallic nanoparticles can diffract or concentrate the incident electromagnetic wave and behave as an antenna. In this paper, the effects of the inner sub-wavelength structure of nanoparticles are studied on the directivity of the plasmonic nanoantenna, which is coated on the output of a waveguide. Three 5*5 element configurations are analyzed: nanocubes, nanoshells, and nanoframes array.

The Stöber method for forming spherical silica colloids is well-established as one of the pillars of colloidal synthesis. In a modified form, it has been extensively used to deposit both porous and protective shells over metal nanomaterials. Current best-practice techniques require that the vitreophobic surface of metal nanoparticles be primed with a surface ligand to promote silica deposition.

Detecting weakly adsorbing molecules via label-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has presented a significant challenge. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach for creating tricomponent SERS substrates using dual-rim nanorings (DRNs) made of Au, Ag, and CuO, each possessing distinct functionalities. Our method involves depositing different metals on Pt nanoring skeletons to obtain each nanoring with varying surface compositions while maintaining a similar size and shape.
