2D hybrid networks of gold nanoparticles: mechanoresponsive optical humidity sensors

Abstract

Plasmonic coupling is a fascinating phenomenon occurring between neighboring metal nanostructures. We report a straightforward approach to study such process macroscopically by fabricating 2D networks of gold nanoparticles, interconnected with responsive hygroscopic organic linkers. By controlling the humidity we tune the interparticle distance to reversibly trigger plasmonic coupling collectively over several millimeters.
