We have developed a class of blackbody materials, i.e., hyperbranched Au plasmonic blackbodies (AuPBs), of compact sizes (<50 nm). The AuPBs were prepared in a seedless and surfactant-free approach based on the use of mussel-inspired dopamine. Strong intraparticle plasmonic coupling among branche...
