Benefiting from the prospect of extreme light localization, plasmonic metallic nanostructures are bringing advantages in many applications. However, for use in liquids, the hydrophobic nature of the metallic surface inhibits full wetting, which is related to contact line pinning in the nanostructures. In this work, we use a two-component droplet to overcome this problem. Due to a strong internal flow generated from the solutal Marangoni effect, these droplets can easily prime metallic nanostruct ...[more]
