Gold core-induced polypyrrole nanohybrids (Au–PPyNHs) were successfully synthesized via in situ chemical oxidation polymerization of pyrrole molecules, and their structure was directly confirmed and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were assembled onto the as-prepared Au–PPyNHs by electrostatic interaction to fabricate the nanohybrids of Au–PPyNH–Au. The created Au–PPyNH–Au nanohybrids was immobilized onto glassy carbon electrode and applied to construct dopamine (DA) sensor. We found that the fabricated sensor with Au–PPyNH–Au nanohybrids is highly specific probe for sensing DA. The Au–PPyNH–Au based DA sensor has a linear detection range from 1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M to 0.321 mM and a detection limit of 0.32[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M.

Abstract The composite of green synthesized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs)-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) has been prepared. The gold nanoparticles were produced via bioreduction of HAuCl4 with Clitoria ternatea flower extract, and utilized in the synthesis of hydroxyapatite using Ca(OH)2 and ammonium diphosphate as precursor. The aim of this research is to study the structural analysis of the composite and antibacterial activity test toward Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiela pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes. In addition, the antioxidant activity was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging method. The monitoring of gold nanoparticles formation was conducted by UV–vis spectroscopy and particle size analyses, meanwhile the synthesized composite was studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that homogeneously dispersed gold nanoparticles in HA structure was obtained with the particle size ranging at 5-80 nm. The nanocomposite demonstrated antibacterial activity against tested bacteria. The nanocomposite expressed an antioxidant activity as shown by the DPPH scavenging activity of 66 and 58% at the concentration of 100 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL, respectively.

Quasi-spherical gold nanoparticles(Au NPs) prepared by trisodium citrate reduction of HAuCl4were dispersed into cellulose acetate(CA) ultra-fine fibers by electrospinning. The optical properties of Au NPs before and after electrospinning were measured by UV-vis spectrometer. The morphology and distribution of Au NPs in CA ultra-fine fibers were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The morphology and diameter of Au NPs/CA fibers were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystallinity change of CA fiber before and after adding Au NPs was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The air-water interfacial zirconia film composed of nanodisks with self-assembly structure is prepared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to characterize the film. Furthermore, the heat-treatment of this film is studied by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), XRD, and Raman spectroscopy (Raman). The results suggest that the zirconia of the samples changes from amorphous phase to t-ZrO2phase then m-ZrO2phase with the rise of calcined temperature.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely used in catalysis, photothermal therapy, and targeted drug delivery. Carrageenan oligosaccharide (CAO) derived from marine red algae was used as a reducing and capping agent to obtain AuNPs by an eco-friendly, efficient, and simple synthetic route for the first time. The synthetic conditions of AuNPs were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM), and the CAO-AuNPs obtained were demonstrated to be ellipsoidal, stable and crystalline by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The CAO-AuNPs showed localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) oscillation at about 530 nm with a mean diameter of 35 ± 8 nm. The zeta potential of CAO-AuNPs was around −20 mV, which was related to the negatively charged CAO around AuNPs. The CAO-AuNPs exhibited significant cytotoxic activities to HCT-116 and MDA-MB-231 cells, which could be a promising nanomaterial for drug delivery.

Shape-controllable polyaniline (PANI) nanostructures varying from fibers to hairy-PANI were synthesized via chemical oxidation polymerization with perchloric acid as dopant. It has been achieved just by adding extra aniline in the later phase of the same reaction or by adjusting reactive temperature. The diameters of the hairy-PANI fibers can be controlled to 300nm. Scanning electron microscopy was applied to investigate various kinds of morphologies. The mechanism of forming hairy-fiber morphologies was proposed to the mole ratio of aniline to APS in the later polymerization phase. X-ray diffraction pattern suggested that PANI were an amorphous character. Conductivity of polyaniline synthesized at room temperature was only 10-1 S cm−1 level. The specific surfacearea of the hairy- fibers PANI is more than that of fibers PANI.

Formation of layered nanosheets and micro-spheres from a simple self-assembly and polycondensation of n-octadecylsilane (PODS) in water and toluene is demonstrated, respectively. The structure of the micro-spheres was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). According to the TEM images, it was firstly confirmed that the micro-spheres consist of stacks of bilayered polymerized n-octadecylsilane with head-to-head arrangements. The co-effects of water and solvent were proposed to control the octadecyltrichlsilane hydrolysis process and eventually the morphology of the micro-spheres. A micelle formation mechanism for the formation of the PODS micro-spheres under the co-effects of water and solvent were firstly proposed.

We report the self-assembly of core–shell GeTe/Sb2Te3 nanowires (NWs) on Si (100), and SiO2/Si substrates by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition, coupled to the vapour–liquid–solid mechanism, catalyzed by Au nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman mapping, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy were employed to investigate the morphology, structure, and composition of the obtained core and core–shell NWs. A single crystalline GeTe core and a polycrystalline Sb2Te3 shell formed the NWs, having core and core–shell diameters in the range of 50–130 nm and an average length up to 7 µm.

Several type of gold precursors including pre-synthesized Au (en)2Cl3and gold colloid were tried to intercalate into the layer space of Na-Montmorillonite (Na-MMT). In the preparation, DDA and PAA were employed to cap the pre-synthesized gold colloidal particles and then intercalated into Na-MMT, and the Au (en)2Cl3was directly intercalated to Na-MMT through cation exchange. X-ray diffraction (XRD), fluorescence analysis (XRF) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the prepared samples. The results showed that the gold colloid modified by dodecylamine (DDA) and polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAA) respectively were successfully intercalated into the layer gallery of Na-MMT based on the mechanism of covalent capture. However, thermal treatment at 773K for 2h resulted in migration of gold nanoparticles from layer space to the out surface of the Na-MMT.
