We present a platform strategy that offers diverse flexibility in tailoring the structure and properties of core–shell plasmonic nanoparticles with built-in nanogaps. Our results have demonstrated that polydopamine serves multiple concerted functions as a nanoscale spacer to afford controllable nano...
