Surface Plasmonic Core-Shell Nanostructures in Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering and Photocatalysis

Core-shell nanostructures are a typical material design. Usually, it consists of a core wrapped in a shell. It has attracted much attention due to its tunable structure and composition, high surface area, and high programmability. The properties and resonance frequency of their surface plasmons can be adjusted by regulating the shape, size, and composition of metal core-shell nanostructures. This interaction makes core-shell nanostructures an excellent platform for plasmon-enhanced optical effects. This Perspective explores the categories of core-shell nanostructures, their exchanges with excitons in two-dimensional materials, their spectrum-enhanced aspects, and prospects for future applications of core-shell nanostructures.
