Plasmonic field-field coupling-induced enhancement of the optical properties of dye molecules in the nanogaps among metal nanoparticle clusters and thin films has attracted significant attention especially in disease-related theranostic applications. However, it is very challenging to synthesize plasmonic core-gap-shell nanostructures with a well-controlled nanogap, uniform shape, and distances to maximize the plasmonic field-field coupling between the core and the shell. Herein, we synthesized Au@gap@AuAg nanopeanut-shaped core-gap-shell nanostructures (Au NPN) and tuned their optical absorption from near-infrared region-I (NIR-I) to near-infrared region-II (NIR-II) by filling their nanogap with a high dielectric NaCl |
