A Novel Electrochemical DNA Biosensor Fabricated with Layer‐by‐Layer Covalent Attachment of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Gold Nanoparticles

A novel DNA biosensor has been fabricated for the detection of DNA hybridization based on layer‐by‐layer (LBL) covalent assembly of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The stepwise LBL assembly process was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The hybridization events were monitored by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurement of the intercalated doxorubicin, and the factors influencing the performance of the DNA hybridization was investigated in detail. The signal was linearly changed with target DNA concentration increased from 0.5 to 0.01 nM, and had a detection limit of 7.5 pM (signal/noise ratio of 3). In addition, the DNA biosensor showed an excellent reproducibility and stability under the DNA‐hybridization conditions.

Synthesis of core-shell structured Au@Bi2S3 nanorod and its application as DNA immobilization matrix for electrochemical biosensor construction

The core-shell structured Au@Bi2S3 nanorods have been prepared through direct in-situ growth of Bi2S3 at the surface of pre-synthesized gold nanorods.The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.Then the obtained Au@Bi2S3 nanorods were coated onto glassy carbon electrode to act as a scaffold for fabrication of electrochemical DNA biosensor on the basis of the coordination of-NH2 modified on 5’-end of probe DNA and Au@Bi2S3.Electrochemical characterization assays demonstrate that the Au@Bi2S3 nanorods behave as an excellent electronic transport channel to promote the electron transfer kinetics and increase the effective surface area by their nanosize effect.The hybridization experiments reveal that the Au@Bi2S3 matrix-based DNA biosensor is capable of recognizing complementary DNA over a wide concentration ranging from 10 fmol/L to 1 nmol/L.The limit of detection was estimated to be 2 fmol/L(S/N=3).The biosensor also presents remarkable selectivity to distinguish fully complementa ry sequences from basemismatched and non-complementary ones,showing great promising in practical application.     

Label-free Detection of Biotin Using Nanoporous TiO2/DNA Thin-film Coated Wavelength Interrogated Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors

The sensing sensitivity of the wavelength interrogated surface plasmon resonance（WISPR） biosensor could be improved by self-assembly of nanoporous thin-film of TiO2 nanoparticles/DNA（TiO2/DNA）n（n is the number of bilayer） on wavelength interrogated surface plasmon resonance（WISPR） chips.The growth behavior and surface structure of the nanoporous thin-film were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy,respectively.The home-made WISPR sensor with Krestchmann configuration consisted of a tungsten-halogen lamp as a photon source and a CCD camera as the detector.After the deposition of （DNA/TiO2）n thin film on WISPR chips,the resonance peak of the reflection spectra appeared in air.With the increases of n,the resonance wavelength gradually red shifted,which is consistent with the simulated results.After the optimization of the porous film,the WISPR biosensor was utilized to detect low-molecular-weight analytes,such as biotin.The result demonstrates that the sensitivity of [poly（styrene sulfonate）/polyally lamine hydrochlorides]5（PSS/PAH）5 could be 4 times higher than that of polyelectrolyte multilayer modified WISPR sensor.

Fabrication of high performance thin films from metal fluorocomplex aqueous solution by the liquid phase deposition

The hetro-structured oxide thin films from metal fluorocomplex solution have been prepared by the liquid phase deposition (LPD) method. The Pt/Nb₂O₅ and Au/Nb₂O₅ composite films can be prepared from a mixed solution of niobium source, H₃BO₃, Pt(NH₃)₄Cl₂ and HAuCl₄ aqueous solutions under the ambient temperature and atmosphere. In the case of Au/SiO₂ composite film, (NH₄)₂SiF₆ solution is used as a mother solution. The Pt and Au ionic species are deposited in Nb₂O₅ and SiO₂ matrices. They are reduced to their metallic state after treatment above 200 °C. The size of dispersed particles can be controlled by heat treatment temperature. It is also clear that, gold nanoparticles are also found to interact with SiO₂, although the interaction is smaller than that with Nb₂O₅ showing the size of Au nanoparticles remain smaller in Nb₂O₅ that in SiO₂.     

Electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization using methylene blue and electro-deposited zirconia thin films on gold electrodes

A novel electrochemical DNA biosensor based on methylene blue (MB) and zirconia (ZrO₂) thin films modified gold electrode for DNA hybridization detection is presented. Zirconia thin films were electrodynamically deposited onto the bare gold electrode in an aqueous electrolyte of ZrOCl₂ and KCl by cycling the potential between −1.1 and +0.7 V (versus Ag/AgCl) at a scan rate of 20 mV s⁻¹. Oligonucleotide probes with phosphate group at the 5′ end were attached onto the zirconia thin films because zirconia is affinity for phosphoric group. The surface density of the immobilized DNA molecules at the zirconia interface was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy method. Hybridization was induced by exposure of the ssDNA-containing Au electrode to complementary ssDNA in solution. The decreases in the peak currents of MB, an electroactive label, were observed upon hybridization of probe with the target. The cathodic peak current (i_p) of MB after hybridization with the target DNA was linearly related to the logarithmic value of the target DNA concentration ranging from 2.25×10⁻¹⁰ to 2.25×10⁻⁸ mol l⁻¹. A detection limit of 1.0×10⁻¹⁰ mol l⁻¹ of oligonucleotides can be estimated.     

Preparation and Magnetic Properties of Submicron CrO2 Thin Film on Poly-crystal TiO2 Film

The submicron chromium dioxide(CrO₂) thin film was fabricated on a poly-crystal titania(TiO₂) film using Si wafers as substrates by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method. X-Ray diffraction patterns show that the CrO₂ films were pure rutile structure. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) images indicate that the CrO₂ films consisted of submicron grains with a grain size of 250―750 nm. The magnetic researches reveal that the magnetic easy axis is parallel to the films, and at room temperature, the CrO₂ films show linear magnetoresistance.

Preparation and Supercapacitive Properties of Fe2O3/Active Carbon Nanocomposites

Fe₂O₃/active carbon(Fe₂O₃/AC) nanocomposites were readily fabricated by pyrolyzing Fe³⁺ impregnated active carbon in a nitrogen atmosphere. The as-prepared composites were studied by X-ray powder diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The capacitive property of the composites was investigated by cyclic voltammetry(CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge test.

The specific capacitance(SC) of Fe₂O₃/AC nanocomposites was up to 188.4 F/g that was derived from both electrochemical double-layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance, which was 78% larger than that of pristine AC. A symmetric capacitor with Fe₂O₃/AC nanocomposites as electrode showed an excellent cycling stability. The SC was only reduced by a factor of 9.2% after 2000 cycles at a current density of 1 A/g.     

用脉冲色谱法研究Pd-V2O5体系催化剂的吸附作用

本文用脉冲色谱法测定了Pd-V氧化物体系催化剂对乙烯、氧和二氧化碳的吸附作用。指出在接近反应温度下(80-100°C),Pd-V氧化物体系的催化剂对乙烯有可逆与不可逆两种吸附作用,而单独的PdO和V₂O₅以及载体SiO₂则只有可逆吸附作用。测定了不同温度下可逆吸附等温线,计算了吸附热,考查了不可逆吸附与催化剂中Pd含量之间的关系,指出在Pd-V氧化物催化剂上,乙烯的不可逆吸附量与催化氧化活性一样,是与Pd含量有关的。测定了预吸附氧有利于乙烯的不可逆吸附,而CO₂则不能牢固的吸附在催化剂表面上。
