As one of the representative metallic hollow nanostructures, Au nanoframes have shown fascinating properties such as strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) associated with the emerging application as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors. In this study, it is demonstrated, for the first time, a facile one-pot synthetic approach for hollow Au nanoframes by directly etching Au nanoplates, i.e. so-called self-templates. A novel growth mechanism has been revealed that involves a synergistic function of Ag and Br ions. The presence of Ag+ lead to observed self-limiting of Au film thickness whereas Au {111} facets are preferentially attacked by the presence of Br- in the reaction ambient. More importantly, graphene is introduced to prevent/minimize aggregation during the formation of Au nanoframes. Combined simulation and experimental studies show that the hybrid platform made of graphene/Au nanoframes is capable of detecting analytes at concentration levels down to 10-9 M by using the SERS technique.
