We describe a novel strategy for the fabrication of plasmonic nanopowders (dried gold nanoparticles) by using wet chemical nanoparticle synthesis, PEG-SH functionalization, and a standard freeze-drying technique. Our strategy is illustrated by successful fabrication of different plasmonic nanopowders, including gold
