(A) Schematic illustrating the multi-step preparation of nanorattles. To a Au/Ag (in orange) nanoparticle, Ag (in blue) is deposited on its surface; the galvanic replacement reaction with HAuCl4 then transforms the Ag layer into a Au/Ag shell. (B) Schematic illustrating the multi-step preparation of multiple-walled nanoshells, beginning with a Ag nanoparticle. (C) TEM of nanorattles. (D) TEM of multiple-walled Au/Ag nanoshells.42
