Abstract

Gold surface chemistry is an important field of nanotechnology. The multiple uses provided by gold surfaces expand the repertoire of possible applications and highlight the need for new strategies to strengthen current research in this field. In this article, we present a brief summary of the advances and applications in the use of gold surfaces reported in 2010. Far from writing a standard review, this manuscript intends to underline some outstanding articles that mark new tendencies in this field.
