A method is presented for the electric-field-directed self-assembly of higher-order structures composed of alternating layers of biotin nanoparticles and streptavidin-/avidin-conjugated enzymes carried out on a microelectrode array device. Enzymes included in the study were glucose oxidase (GOx), horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and alkaline phosphatase (AP); all of which could be used to form a light-emitting microscale glucose sensor. Directed assembly included fabricating multilayer structures with 200 nm or 40 nm GOx-avidin-biotin nanoparticles, with AP-streptavidin-biotin nanoparticles, and with HRP-streptavidin-biotin nanoparticles. Multilayered structures were also fabricated with alternate layering of HRP-streptavidin-biotin nanoparticles and GOx-avidin-biotin nanoparticles. Results showed that enzymatic activity was retained after the assembly process, indicating that substrates could still diffuse into the structures and that the electric-field-based fabrication process itself did not cause any significant loss of enzyme activity. These methods provide a solution to overcome the cumbersome passive layer-by-layer assembly methods to efficiently fabricate higher-order active biological and chemical hybrid structures that can be useful for creating novel biosensors and drug delivery nanostructures, as well as for diagnostic applications.

This study used a photo-reduction method to investigate cuprous oxide (Cu2O) self-assembled micro/nanostructures, and design a test specimen with an electron concentration gradient distribution. It also observed the Cu2O reduction of the self-assembled structure with respect to electron density. SEM analysis was adopted to analyze the growth mechanism and growth model. The results showed that, its structure size increased with photo-reduction time, and as the reduction solution concentration increased, its structure crystallinity declined. The basic unit of a self-assembled microstructure was Cu2O at a diameter of 10~15nm, then these particles conglomerate in self-assembly to form various kinds of Cu2O micro/nanostructures with respect to reduction electron density, and primarily presented in the form of a cone or cube. In the process of continuous self-assembly, there were many micro-defects under the perfect crystal surface. Considering the growth rate, the final growth surface of the structure was (111) or (100).

Arrays of Cu/Cu2O nanowires were grown by electrodeposition in the nanopores of track-etched polymer membranes. If an appropriate solution is used, the electrode potential spontaneously oscillates during the application of a constant cathodic current. Both the period of the oscillations and the composition of the nanowires can be controlled by varying the applied current density. A nanocomposite of copper and cuprous oxide is deposited at an applied current over which oscillations occur. In contrast, pure Cu or Cu2O nanowires are obtained at a deposition current out of the range of oscillation. Electrical transport measurements were also performed on these nanowires.
