In this work, microwires of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were grown using the fungus Aspergillus niger as a biological template. Au NPs were synthesized through the reduction of chloroauric acid using monosodium glutamate (MSG) in an aqueous media. The MSG here, served as a nutritional trigger behind the self-organization of Au NPs on Aspergillus niger apart from being the reducing as well as stabilizing agent. The fungal hyphae coated with gold nanoparticles were spread over the glass slide. The ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanostructures were deposited in a 2 mm gap of gold microwires’ spread. Uric acid sensing behavior of these ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanostructures were studied using the gold microwires as electrode.

AbstractAqueous synthesis of glutamate functionalized single crystal gold nanoparticles was achieved by reducing a solution of chloroauric acid with monosodium glutamate. Highly uniform size distributions of the nanoparticles can be obtained by having an excess of monosodium glutamate in the starting solution. Similar to the conventional synthesis of gold nanoparticles by reduction of chloroauric acid with trisodium citrate, the obtained particle sizes were varied in the range of 14 – 25 nm without loosing the uniformity in its size distribution by varying the concentration of the reducing agent.

Epitaxially overgrowing a semiconductor material with higher bandgap around the QDs has proven to be a crucial approach for improving the PL efficiency and stability of nanocrystals. In this paper, a ZnS shell was deposited around ZnSe nanocrystal cores via a noninjection approach in aqueous media. The deposition procedure conducted at 100°C in a reaction flask in the presence of the shell precursor compounds, together with the crude ZnSe nanocrystal cores and the thiol ligand glutathione. The influences of various experimental variables, including the reaction time, amount of thiourea, as well as pH value, on the growth rate and luminescent properties of the obtained core/shell nanocrystals have been systematically investigated. In comparison with the original ZnSe nanocrystals, the PL efficiency of the obtained ZnSe/ZnS core/shell nanostructures can be improved significantly with a QY up to 62.8%.
