What are the Applications of Plasmonic Nanoparticles?
Plasmonic nanoparticles have numerous applications in biomedical imaging, sensing, photothermal therapy, and catalysis. For instance, in biomedical imaging, plasmonic nanoparticles can be used as contrast agents due to their strong scattering and absorption properties. In sensing applications, they can detect minute changes in the local environment by monitoring shifts in the plasmonic resonance frequency.
