LSPR has numerous applications in nanotechnology and related fields:
1. Biosensing: LSPR-based sensors can detect biomolecules at extremely low concentrations, making them useful for medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. 2. Imaging: Enhanced field effects of LSPR are utilized in Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) to improve the detection limits of conventional Raman spectroscopy. 3. Photothermal Therapy: LSPR can convert light into heat, which is used in cancer treatment to selectively destroy tumor cells. 4. Solar Cells: Enhancing the efficiency of photovoltaic cells by increasing light absorption.
