Ultrasensitive Detection of Methylene Blue Using an Electrochemically Synthesized SERS Sensor Based on Gold and Silver Nanoparticles: Roles of Composition and Purity on Sensing Performance and Reliability

An electrochemical approach has been used for green synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles (e-AuNPs and e-AgNPs) with high levels of purity and scalability. The electrochemically synthesized noble-metal nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy and scanning el...
