Silver-based nanostructures, especially the anisotropic ones such as triangular nanoplates,
nanorods, nanocubes or silver nanowires, are used as Surface enhanced Raman scattering
substrates for different analytes sensing, with outstanding results, in terms of the limit of
detection (LOD), as well as the enhancement factor (EF), being applicable for early clinical
diagnosis of cancer, trace level detection of different organic pollutants, or for the pesticides'
detection, and even explosives. Among all these shapes, cubes like nanoparticles (AgNCs) …
