Abstract: The enhanced photoabsorption and photodetection of close-packed metallic Au nanoparticles (NPs) is described in the ultraviolet visible (UV-vis)-near infrared (NIR) region. The compatibility of AuNPs with wet-chemistry and inkjet printing processes at low temperatures has shown that metallic AuNPs have provided an alternative to semiconductor crystals in photodetection and photovoltaic applications.
