Unveiling the SERS activity of silver triangular nanoplates in the enhanced detection of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid

Silver triangular nanoplates (SNPs) have gained much attraction worldwide due to their unique optical properties. In our study, we investigated the growth of SNPs via a modified seed-mediated method with NaBH4 as a primary reductant, ascorbic acid (AA) as a secondary reductant and H2O2 as a seed cor...
