We have synthesized nanoporous gold (NPG) films with a nanostructure consisting of small nanopores and large gold ligaments by the combination of chemical dealloying and electroless plating. The NPG films exhibit dramatic improvement in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in comparison with the conventional NPG. The superior SERS effect of the NPG films results from the confluence effect of enhanced local surface plasmon fields and electromagnetic coupling between ligaments, as well as the weak plasmon damping with increasing gold ligament sizes.
