• ] synthesized AgNPs in cylindrical matrices using TMV as the biotemplate. In this work, AgNPs were 2–4 nm in size and it was shown that AgNPs, unlike platinum and gold nanoparticles, were coated on the inner surface of the TMV channel. The synthesis process is known to be mediated by the amino acid functional

• [261][262]. However, their major drawback is the lack of strong metal-binding sites along the biotemplate surface [262]. In addition to that, the preparation of the viral templates is time-consuming and multiple coating cycles may be required to yield a uniform coating of metal nanostructures on their

A nanostructured SERS substrate was achieved for the replication of a biotemplate of a cicada wing and low concentrations of thiophenol and

When properties of individual NPs are of interest, then only low coverage of NPs is necessary before agglomerates are formed on the support.
