Abstract

Triple-layer (Au@Ag)@polypyrrole core–shell nanoparticles are fabricated by a one-step synthesis involving simultaneous reduction of AgNO₃ and polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of Au nanoparticles; the Ag layer in the resulting nanoparticles is etched to give a (Au@H₂O)@polypyrrole yolk–shell structure.
