Demonstration of Improved Charge Transfer in Graphene/Au Nanorods Plasmonic Hybrids Stabilized by Benzyl Thiol Linkers

Figure 1

Schematic illustration of BZT linkers anchoring Au nanorods onto graphene. The - interaction between BZT and graphene and the covalent S-Au bonds are indicated by dashed lines. The inset also shows the transmission electron microscopy image of the AuNRs.
