Bridging the Gap between SERS Enhancement and Reproducibility by Salt Aggregated Silver Nanoparticles

Silver colloid based nanostructures are a very common means of achieving strong SERS signals. This is due to the hot spots that are formed in between the nanoparti‐ cles, as well as their ease of synthesis. They are frequent‐ ly dismissed, however, as irreproducible when compared to other metal nano...
