Protein immobilisation on perpendicularly aligned gold tipped nanorod assemblies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multi component assembly consisting of the redox protein cytochrome c (cyt c) immobilised onto vertically aligned gold tipped semiconductor nanorods is described. Cyt c was successfully immobilised using a thiol linker. A faradaic response demonstrated that the protein is electroactive in this ultra high density array.

A facile spin-cast route for cation exchange of multilayer perpendicularly-aligned nanorod assemblies.
A facile spin cast route was developed to convert perpendicularly aligned nanorod assemblies of cadmium chalcogenides into their silver and copper analogues. The assemblies are rapidly cation exchanged without affecting either the individual rod dimensions or collective superlattice order extending over several multilayers.
متن کاملElectric-field-assisted assembly of perpendicularly oriented nanorod superlattices.
We observe the assembly of CdS nanorod superlattices by the combination of a DC electric field and solvent evaporation. In each electric-field (1 V/microm) assisted assembly, CdS nanorods (5 nm x 30 nm) suspended initially in toluene were observed to align perpendicular to the substrate. Azimuthal alignment along the nanorod crystal faces and the presence of stacking faults indicate that both 2...
متن کاملPromoting photocatalytic multiple-electron reduction in aerobic solutions using Au-tipped CdSe nanorod clusters.
Clusters of Au-tipped CdSe nanorods have been synthesized through nanorod polymerization driven by the controlled welding of the Au tips. The efficient collection of energetic electrons in the Au nanoparticles leads to a significant enhancement in catalysing multiple-electron reduction reactions by using methylene blue as the redox indicator.
متن کاملSilver Tip Formation on Colloidal CdSe Nanorods by a Facile Phase Transfer Protocol
A facile phase transfer procedure is described for the formation of uniform silver metal tips on II–VI semiconductor nanorods. Judicious choice of a functional ligand dimethyl phenol (DMP) which binds to the semiconductor rod in the organic phase enables the transfer of metal ions from the aqueous phase and their reduction onto the nanorod. The nanorod hybrids can be assembled into perpendicula...
متن کاملLow-dimensional chainlike assemblies of TiO2 nanorod-stabilized Au nanoparticles.
A simple and versatile light-based strategy to grow low-dimensional gold superstructures is presented; prolonged UV-irradiation of TiO2 nanorod-stabilized Au nanoparticles in organic media promotes the progressive formation of distinctive chainlike metal assemblies, namely segments of a few gold particles, 2D or quasi-1D large structures composed of interlacing lines of hundreds of metal units ...
