“The textbook is organised into nine chapters, each offering a clear summary of recent advances in metal-based nanoparticle technologies for colorimetric sensing over the 2020s. Readers will obtain a straightforward overview of developments related to each metal and its applications as presented in the chapters and can consult the cited literature for further details.” (Ross J. Gordon and Huda Shaikh, Johnson Matthey Technology Review, Vol. 70 (1), January, 2026)
