Abstract

We report a synthetic approach for heterometallic (Au–Pt–Au) nanorings with intertwined triple rings (NITs), wherein three differently sized metal circular nanorings concentrically overlap in a single entity. The synthetic method allows one to control the component of core nanorings (Au or Pt) with a tunable gap distance. The narrow circular nanogaps between inner and outer Au rings strongly enhance the electromagnetic near-field via intraparticle coupling of localized surface plasmon resonance, which realizes surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) at the single-particle level. Importantly, when the component of the middle ring is Pt, in situ SERS measurement for electrochemical reactions on Pt domains could be monitored with electrochemical potential variations due to the near-field focusing that is assisted by plasmonically active inner and outer Au nanorings, which is not feasible with pure Pt nanoparticle systems. The resulting NIT systems are robust and may benefit the synthesis of complicated nanostructures, giving myriad applications.
