Characterizing the Kinetics of Nanoparticle‐Catalyzed Reactions by Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering

Abstract

Separate gold and platinum nanoparticles simultaneously immobilized on a glass surface were used to study the kinetics of a catalytic reaction directly. Owing to the proximity of the platinum and gold nanoparticles, the analyte molecules can interact with the platinum nanoparticles whilst they reside in the local optical fields of the gold nanoparticles.
