Molecular sieving and sensing with gold nanotube membranes

We have developed a new class of synthetic membranes that consist of a porous polymeric support that contains an ensemble of gold nanotubes that span the thickness of the support membrane. The support is a commercially available microporous polycarbonate filter with cylindrical nanoscopic pores. The gold nanotubes are prepared via electroless deposition of Au onto the pore walls; i.e., the pores act as templates for the nanotubes. We have shown that by controlling the Au deposition time, Au nanotubes that have effective inside diameters of molecular dimensions (<1 nm) can be prepared. These nanotube membranes can be used to cleanly separate small molecules on the basis of molecular size. Furthermore, use of these membranes as a novel electrochemical sensor is also discussed. This new sensing scheme involves applying a constant potential across the Au nanotube membrane and measuring the drop in the transmembrane current upon the addition of the analyte. This paper reviews our recent progress on size-based transport selectivity and sensor applications in this new class of membranes.

Additive free electrodeposition of nanocrystalline aluminium in a water and air stable ionic liquid

This paper shows for the first time that nanocrystalline aluminium can be electrodeposited without any additives in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methyl pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide saturated with AlCl₃. The advantages of this ionic liquid compared to chloroaluminate ionic liquids, which were intensively investigated in the past, are that it is water and air stable, easy to purify as well as it is easy to dry to water contents below 1 ppm. Interestingly, this ionic liquid shows biphasic behaviour above a concentration of AlCl₃ of 1.6 mol/L. A significant current loop attributed to nucleation was found for bulk deposition of aluminium at room temperature on gold, whereas at 100 °C there is no nucleation loop. The deposits obtained are generally uniform, dense, shining and adherent to the substrate with crystallites in the nanosize regime. At 100 °C, the quality of the deposit is even better with an average size of the crystallites of 34 nm.     

Water as buffer material for gold nanocluster growth

Water molecules adsorbed on SiO2/Si(100) at 140 K to form amorphous solid water (ASW) layers were utilized as a buffer for assisting the growth of gold nanoclusters. It was shown that the average height and diameter of the clusters deposited on the silicon oxide substrate following the buffer annealing/desorption increase as the buffer layer becomes thicker and as more gold is deposited. The clusters' height and diameter were determined by tapping mode AFM and high-resolution SEM imaging, respectively. Typical heights were between 0.5 and 4.5 nm, and the diameters were in the range of 3-9 nm for ASW layer thickness of 7-100 ML and gold deposition in the range of 0.2-1.2 A. The density of the clusters decreased from 65 x 10(10) to 8 x 10(10) cm (-2) in the same buffer layer thickness range. Significantly different morphology of the clusters is obtained when compared to those formed by direct deposition of gold on the silicon oxide surface and to those grown on top of Xe as buffer material.

Preparation and characterization of thin TiO2-films on gold/mica

Flat and highly (111) oriented gold and silver films were prepared by physical vapour deposition (PVD) using optimized deposition parameters. On these films, which were characterized with atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), titanium dioxide films were deposited by electron beam evaporation and dip coating. Dip coating from titanium tetraisopropoxide solutions resulted in films with different morphology and coverage depending on the alkoxide concentration (0.009 mol/L – 0.60 mol/L) and the post-treatment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and AFM revealed that the deposited TiO₂ consists of amorphous, highly porous islands when the applied alkoxide concentration is high (0.05 mol/L – 0.6 mol/L). At higher temperatures these amorphous TiO₂ islands sintered significantly and crystallized to anatase. In contrast, transparent TiO₂ films were obtained from low concentrated alkoxide solutions (< 0.01 mol/L) which covered the whole substrate, similar to electron beam evaporated thin films. Sputter profiles with ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS) indicated that the film thickness is in the range of 2 nm when alkoxide solutions with a concentration of 9 mmol/L are used. The deposition of TiO₂ by electron beam evaporation normally resulted in significantly reduced TiO₂ films, completely oxidized ones were obtained when deposition was performed at elevated oxygen partial pressures (p(O₂) > 2 × 10^–5 mbar).     

Preparation of Gold Nanotube by Direct Electrodeposition for Biosensors

A simple method to fabricate gold nanotube by means of a direct electrodeposition is constructed, utilizing anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) as a template. The performances of gold nanoelectrode have been characterized with cyclic voltammetric technique and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM image of as-prepared gold nanoelectrode shows that the surface of electrode was covered with honeycomb gold tube with average pore diameter 200 nm. Its cyclic voltammetric shows the peak current is 6.25 times larger than the bare Au electrode, so the new honeycomb gold nanoelectrode was obviously better than conventional gold electrode. Microperoxidase-11 (MP-11) was immobilized on the electrode and characterized with cyclic voltammetric technique. It was demonstrated that the gold nanotube not only could offer a friendly environment to immobilize MP-11, but also enhance the electron transfer ability between protein molecules and the underlying electrodes.     

Determination of Antimony(III) by Differential Pulse Voltammetry Using a Gold Nanoparticle–Ionic Liquid–Graphene-Modified Selenium-Doped Carbon Paste Electrode

A simple and sensitive differential pulse stripping voltammetric method was developed for the determination of antimony(III) using a selenium-doped carbon paste electrode modified with an ionic liquid, graphene, and gold nanoparticles. The conditions, including the mass of graphene, concentration of hydrochloric acid, deposition potential, and deposition time were optimized by single-factor experiments. Under the optimal conditions, a linear equation of I_Sb(III) (µA)?=??16.9882???11.0929 c (µmol/L) (R?=?0.9965) and a detection limit of 2.7?×?10^?8?mol/L were obtained for 8.0?×?10^?8 to 4.8?×?10^?6?mol/L antimony(III). The response shows that the sensor enhances the sensitivity of antimony due to the high conductivity and large surface areas of the ionic liquid, graphene, and gold nanoparticles. This electrode may provide a new sensing platform for the determination of antimony.     

Template synthesized gold nanotube membranes for chemical separations and sensing

We have developed a new class of synthetic membranes that consist of a porous polymeric support that contains an ensemble of gold nanotubes that span the thickness of the support membrane. The support is a commercially-available microporous polycarbonate filter with cylindrical nanoscopic pores. The gold nanotubes are prepared via electroless deposition of Au onto the pore walls; i.e., the pores acts as templates for the nanotubes. We have shown that by controlling the Au deposition time, Au nanotubes that have effective inside diameters of molecular dimensions (< 1 nm) can be prepared. These membranes are a new class of molecular sieves and can be used to separate both small molecules and proteins on the basis of molecular size. In addition, the use of these membranes in new approaches to electrochemical sensing is reviewed here. In this case, a current is forced through the nanotubes, and analyte molecules present in a contacting solution phase modulate the value of this transmembrane current.
