Porous coral-like Pd/C3N4-C nanocomposites are fabricated by a simple one-pot chemical reduction method. Their electrocatalytic performance is ~50% higher than a carbon-loaded palladium electrocatalyst (Pd/C) in alkaline media. This confirms that the glucose electrooxidation and sensing performance of a Pd/C can be improved by the synergy of graphitic carbon nitride (C3N4), though C3N4 exhibits poor electrical conductivity. Compared to Pd/C, the size of Pd nanoparticles in Pd/C3N4-C decreases. As a result, the activity of Pd/C3N4-C is enhanced due to the higher dispersion and the synergistic effect. Pd/C3N4-C presents a rapid response and high sensitivity to glucose. The sensitivity for glucose sensing at Pd/C3N4-C is 3.3 times that of at Pd/C in the range of 0.001–10 mM. In the lower range of 0.001–1 mM, the sensitivity at Pd/C3N4-C is ~10 times greater than Pd/C.

In this work, the preparation of graphene by chemical oxidation reduction method and a series of chemical reactions to get graphene oxide, with the preparation of graphene composites by simply chemical reduction method for the preparation of palladium/graphene composites. Through the chemical reduction method, the small size of Pd nanoparticles is acquired by controlling the content of reducing agent. The Pd nanoparticles on graphene surface is 10nm size and evenly distributed. Pd2+ adsorption on graphene surface and in situ were partially reduced to Pd to Pd2+ nanoparticles by the reducibility of graphene. In the process, the graphene was reduced to graphene and the final compound was thinner and more transparent than the pre-experiment oxide. The oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the graphene have influence to the nucleation and growth of metal nanoparticles and KI can control the morphology and size of nanoparticles. The particle size and dispersion uniformity have great influence on the catalytic performance of composites, the smaller particles have better catalytic performance.

Gold nanoparticles were synthesized in chitosan suspension by one-pot chemical reduction method without any chemical reducing reagent. In aqueous acidic medium, chitosan exhibits polycationic nature due to protonation of amine groups of each glucosamine repeating units. The adsorption of AuCl4- ions occurs on chitosan through electrostatic attraction and further reduction of Au3+ to Au0 proceeds through a three electron transfer mechanism by oxidation of protonated amine groups of chitosan chain. The change of color from dirty yellow to intense red indicates the formation of gold nanoparticles in chitosan suspension which acts as both reducing and stabilizing agent. Characterization techniques such as UV-VIS, FTIR, Zeta potential measurement, FESEM and TEM were carried out in order to examine the reduction and stabilization phenomena rendered by chitosan.

Porous Pt–Pd nanodendrites were fabricated by a co-chemical reduction method using both PVP and urea as the co-stabilizing and co-structure-directing agents. The Pt–Pd nanodendrites displayed high catalytic activity and stability toward the electrooxidation of methanol and ethylene glycol in alkaline media.

Cu chips are cheaper than Ag and Au chips for practical SERS applications. However, copper substrates generally have weak SERS enhancement effects and poor stability. In the present work, Cu-based SERS chips with high sensitivity and stability were developed by a chemical reduction method. In the preparation process, Cu NPs were densely deposited onto fabric supports. The as-prepared Cu-coated fabric was hydrophobic with fairly good SERS performance. The Cu-coated fabric was able to be used as a SERS chip to detect crystal violet, and it exhibited an enhancement factor of 2.0 × 106 and gave a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 10–8 M. The hydrophobicity of the Cu membrane on the fabric is favorable to cleaning background interference signals and promoting the stability of Cu NPs to environment oxidation. However, this Cu SERS chip was still poor in its long-term stability. The SERS intensity on the chip was decreased to 18% of the original one after it was stored in air for 60 days. A simple introduction of Ag onto the clean Cu surface was achieved by a replacement reaction to further enhance the SERS performances of the Cu chips. The Ag-modified Cu chips showed an increase of the enhancement factor to 7.6 × 106 due to the plasmonic coupling between Cu and Ag in nanoscale, and decreased the LOD of CV to 10–11 M by three orders of magnitude. Owing to the additional protection of Ag shell, the SERS intensity of the Cu-Ag chip after a two-month storing maintained 80% of the original intensity. The Cu-Ag SERS chips were also applied to detect other organics, and showing wide linearity range and low LOD values for the quantitative detection.

Nanotechnology has great promise for improving the therapeutic potential of medicinal molecules and related agents. In this study, silver nanoparticles of different sizes were synthesized in an ultrasonic field using the chemical reduction method with sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The size effect of silver nanoparticles on antimicrobial activity were tested against the microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC No. 96), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC No. 441), Streptococcus mutans (MTCC No. 497), Escherichia coli (MTCC No. 739) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC No. 1934). The results shows that B. subtilis, and E. coli were more sensitive to silver nanoparticles and its size, indicating the superior antimicrobial efficacy of silver nanoparticles.
