Abstract

A facile method has been proposed to synthesize dendritic silver nanostructures without any template. UV-vis and TEM images revealed that the dendritic silver nanostructures with pronounced trunks and branches have been synthesized. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) experiments showed that the synthesized dendritic silver gives an intense signal when p-aminobenzenethiol at very low concentration is used as a probe molecule.
