Abstract

Au nanopuncheons with exposed high-index facets have been synthesized in high-yield by employing didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) as surfactant in one-step seed-mediated growth. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization showed that the as-prepared Au nanopuncheons possessed 24 high index facets of {250}, {301}, and 2 {010} planes. Due to the high density of atomic steps and kinks in the structure, the Au nanopuncheons exhibited high surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity toward Rhodamine 6G.
