ABSTRACT
Chiral plasmonic nanostructures exhibit potential in the advanced manufacturing industry, due to their fascinating characteristics. However, the limitation of existing fabrication methods as difficulty to precisely manipulate chiral nanostructures at the nanoscale restricts their application and optimization of performance. In this work, we report a simple and robust route for the precise construction of chiral Au nanoparticles (NPs), employing star-like block copolymers with well-defined structures as chiral templates. The globular unimolecular micelles as nanoreactors enabled control over the size, shape, and chirality of in situ grown nanocrystals. Utilizing the chiral anisotropy property of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the enantioselective discrimination on various substrates was accomplished with an enhancement factor over 9.3 × 106. NPs with a smaller size exhibited strengthened Raman enhancement and chiral recognition. Furthermore, these chiral unimolecular-micelle-based templates with high efficiency and strong controllability could pave the way for tailor-made chiral nanomaterials.
