Platinum Nanoparticle Production by EHDA

metal nanoparticle production assisted by α-amylase

Exploring nanoparticle porosity using nano-impacts: platinum nanoparticle aggregates.

The porosity of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) is explored for the first time using tag-redox coulometry (TRC). This is achieved by monitoring the reduction of the 4-nitrobenzenethiol (NTP)-tagged PtNPs on carbon electrodes via both immobilisation and nanoimpacts. The average charge per impact is measured and attributed to the reduction of NTP adsorbed on individual PtNPs. The number of NTP mol...

Cell-targeted platinum nanoparticles and nanoparticle clusters.

Herein, we report the facile preparation of cell-targeted platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs), through the design of peptides that, as a single molecule added in small concentration during the synthesis, control the size of PtNP clusters during their growth, stabilise the PtNPs in aqueous suspension and enable the functionalisation of the PtNPs with a versatile range of cell-targeting ligands. Water...

Solar hydrogen generation by silicon nanowires modified with platinum nanoparticle catalysts by atomic layer deposition.

Covered with Pt: A uniform catalyst profile that ensures effective radial charge collection from high-aspect-ratio Si nanowires was achieved by atomic layer deposition of Pt nanoparticles. The resulting photoelectrode permits the measurement of high photovoltages and low overpotentials, and leads to very good stability against photooxidation of Si nanowires in solar water-reduction reactions.
