A research team led by Gao Chuanbo at Frontier Institute of Science and Technology made the latest findings on design and synthesis of precious metal nano materials. On June 16, the PhD candidate Zhang Lei from the team published on Nano Letters (the impact factor is 13.592) her research paper Gold Nanoframes by Nonepitaxial Growth of Au on AgI Nanocrystals for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy as the first author. XJTU is the first and the correspondent author of the paper.

　　The research was funded by the National Thousand Talents Plan, the National Natural Science Foundation, and the Fund for Basic Researches of Key Universities etc.
