Plasmon-mediated multi-functionalization of nanoparticles is presented, in order to achieve the grafting of various chemical groups in distinct nanoscale regions.

A new generation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering encoded-nanoparticles has been designed by combining aryl diazonium salt chemistry and gold nanoparticles.

Anti-icing coatings coupling hierarchical nano/microstructures and dual hydrophobic/hydrophilic features were successfully prepared.

Regioselective surface functionalization of gold nanorods is achieved using the plasmon-mediated reduction of aryl diazonium salts.
