Gold-silver bimetallic porous nanowires for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

Highly porous bimetallic nanowires manufactured via a simple galvanic reaction have demonstrated superior activity in surface-enhanced Raman scattering, allowing ultrasensitive chemical detections on isolated porous nanowires in comparison to pristine silver nanowires.
