An improved method to prepare alkylamine-stabilized Pt and Ru nanoparticles based on the original Brust’s procedure [J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. (1994) 801] has been developed. The new method involves, firstly, mixing an aqueous solution of metal salts such as PtCl62−, PtCl42− or Ru3+ with an ethanol solution of dodecylamine; extracting the metal ions into a toluene layer; and finally reducing the metal ions to their zero valent states using NaBH4. Alkylamine-stabilized Pt nanoparticles prepared this way had a polyhedral or wormlike appearance, depending closely on the chemical nature of the metal precursor salts being used. On the contrary, dodecylamine-stabilized ruthenium nanoparticles were predominantly spherical. The particle formation and growth processes in the hydrocarbon layer could be influenced by the different ways dodecylamine was bound to H2PtCl6, K2PtCl4 or RuCl3 at the precursor stage. 相似文献
In this study a double-bead sandwich assay, employing magnetic nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles is proposed. The magnetic nanoparticles allow specific capturing of the analyte in biological samples, while the optical properties of the gold nanoparticles provide the signal transduction. We demonstrated that a major improvement in the assay sensitivity was obtained by selecting an optimal gold nanoparticle size (60 nm). A detection limit of 5-8 ng/mL, a sensitivity of 0.6-0.8 (pg/mL)−1 and a dynamic range of 3 orders of magnitude were achieved without any further amplification using the detection of prostate specific antigen in serum as a model system. The proposed assay has the ability to be easily implemented within a microfluidic device for point-of-care applications whereby the readout can be executed by a fast and cheap optical measurement. 相似文献
Bottom-up nanoparticle (NP) formation is assumed to begin with the reduction of the precursor metallic ions to form zero-valent atoms. Studies in which this assumption was made are reviewed. The standard reduction potential for the formation of aqueous metallic atoms—E0(Mn+aq/M0aq)—is significantly lower than the usual standard reduction potential for reducing metallic ions Mn+ in aqueous solution to a metal in solid state. E0(Mn+aq/M0solid). E0(Mn+aq/M0aq) values are negative for many typical metals, including Ag and Au, for which E0(Mn+aq/M0solid) is positive. Therefore, many common moderate reduction agents that do not have significantly high negative reduction standard potentials (e.g., hydrogen, carbon monoxide, citrate, hydroxylamine, formaldehyde, ascorbate, squartic acid, and BH4−), and cannot reduce the metallic cations to zero-valent atoms, indicating that the mechanism of NP production should be reconsidered. Both AgNP and AuNP formations were found to be multi-step processes that begin with the formation of clusters constructed from a skeleton of M+-M+ (M = Ag or Au) bonds that is followed by the reduction of a cation M+ in the cluster to M0, to form Mn0 via the formation of NPs. The plausibility of M+-M+ formation is reviewed. Studies that suggest a revised mechanism for the formation of AgNPs and AuNPs are also reviewed. 相似文献
It was established that PbS nanoparticles significantly increase the rate of formation of lead selenide during the reaction
of Pb(NO3)2 and Na2SeSO3 in aqueous solutions of polymers. It was shown that the reaction product consists of PbS/PbSe nanoparticles with a “PbS core-PbSe
shell” structure. A correlation was found between the forbidden band widths of the PbS nanoparticles and the PbS/PbSe nanostructures
formed during the reaction.

Magnetic nanoadsorbents using Fe3O4 nanoparticles as cores and poly(methyl acrylic acid) (PMAA) as ionic exchange groups were prepared through our novel approach. Two steps were involved in this approach: the first was to functionalize the magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with methacrylate double bonds via the combination of ligand exchange and condensation of methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane(MPS); the second was to graft PMAA chains onto the surface of MNPs through radical polymerization. The success of the various surface functionalization steps was ascertained using FTIR and XPS. The as‐synthesized PMAA‐coated MNPs were effective in binding bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a high capacity of 1 300 mg · g−1.
In this work, different poly (lactic acid) (PLA)-based nanocomposite electrospun fibers, reinforced with both organic and inorganic nanoparticles, were obtained. As organic fibers, cellulose nanocrystals, CNC, both neat and functionalized by “grafting from” reaction, chitosan and graphene were used; meanwhile, hydroxyapatite and silver nanoparticles were used as inorganic fibers. All of the nanoparticles were added at 1 wt% with respect to the PLA matrix in order to be able to compare their effect. The main aim of this work was to study the morphological, thermal and mechanical properties of the different systems, looking for differences between the effects of the addition of organic or inorganic nanoparticles. No differences were found in either the glass transition temperature or the melting temperature between the different electrospun systems. However, systems reinforced with both neat and functionalized CNC exhibited an enhanced degree of crystallinity of the electrospun fibers, by up to 12.3%. From a mechanical point of view, both organic and inorganic nanoparticles exhibited a decreased elastic modulus and tensile strength in comparison to neat electrospun PLA fibers, improving their elongation at break. Furthermore, all of the organic and inorganic reinforced systems disintegrated under composting conditions after 35 days. 相似文献
