Abstract Nanoporous metals provide unique nanoscopic environment to enhance fluorescence of adjacent fluorophores. Accumulated optical fields in nanopores can enhance absorption process of fluorophores therein and subsequently accelerate radiative recombination. According to the theory, metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) can be modulated by a function of nanopore diameter. In this study, we prepared the nanoporous Ag skeletons by reduction-induced decomposition (RID) process of AgCl. The RID process simply controls the pore diameter of the resulting nanoporous Ag skeletons. It was revealed that MEF efficiency is enhanced in the nanoporous Ag with the smallest nanopore size, whereas the larger porous Ag skeletons severely quench emission. This experiment is carefully studied with time- and space-resolved fluorescence microscopy.
