Advances in plasmonic-based MOF composites, their bio-applications, and perspectives in this field.

reduction. In addition, advanced composite structures should be considered, such as mixed metal nanoparticles, hollow structures, or the combination of several approaches. Specifically, plasmonic MOF nanocomposites prove to be attractive stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems, phototherapeutic agents, and highly sensitive biosensors. [Figure: see text].
