【 摘 要 】

Noble metal nanostructures have drawn attentions of researchers in many fields due to their particular optical properties. Controlling the metal nanostructures’ size, shape, material, assembly, and surrounding environment can tune their unique plasmonic features that are important for practical applications. In this review, we firstly discuss some novel metal nanostructures synthesized through wet chemical methods and their fundamental plasmonic properties. Then, some applications of these chemically synthesized nanostructures in plasmonics are highlighted, including surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, plasmonic sensing, optical nanoantennas, and plasmonic circuitry. Plasmonic nanostructures provide the ways to manipulate light at the nanometer scale and open the prospects of developing nanophotonic devices for sensing and information technologies.
