Evolution of Ordered Metal Chalcogenide Architectures through Chemical Transformations

A method of inducing hierarchically ordered porosity in metal chalcogenides using surface-treated nanocrystals and complementary architecture-directing agents has been developed. The resulting mesoporous materials are robust to thermal annealing and chem. ...

Dielectric properties of silver nanoparticles coated with silica shells of different thicknesses

Heinrich Hofmann, Jose Enrico Quijano Quinsaat

Core/shell nanoparticles having metallic silver nanoparticle cores of similar to 38 nm in diameter and silica shells of different thicknesses ranging from similar to 3.6-20 nm were prepared. For the silica coating, a slightly modified Stober method was use ...

Chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes: Boosting nanoparticle efficiency by confinement within highly porous polymeric framework

Lioubov Kiwi, Fernando Cardenas Lizana, Charline Berguerand

We report for the first time 99.9% yield of aminocompounds and high TOFs (up to 61 s(-1)) in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of several para-substituted (-OH, -OCH3, -CH3, -H, -Br, -Cl, -COOH and -NO2) nitroaromatics over quasi-monodispersed (ca. 3.3 nm fro ...

In-situ ultra-sensitive infrared absorption spectroscopy of biomolecule interactions in real time with plasmonic nanoantennas

Hatice Altug

Infrared absorption spectroscopy is a powerful biochemical analysis tool as it extracts detailed molecular structural information in a label-free fashion. Its molecular specificity renders the technique sensitive to the subtle conformational changes exhibi ...

Nanoparticles and Microorganisms

Jan Dobias

Nanoscience is a young and growing field of science. It encompasses a diversity of sub-fields such as nanotechnology and nano-medicine, all of them seeking to realize the promises of nanoscale physics. Nano means: “billionth” and conceptually all nano-like ...

Nanometallic chemistry: deciphering nanoparticle catalysis from the perspective of organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ning Yan, Yuan Yuan

Nanoparticle (NP) catalysis is traditionally viewed as a sub-section of heterogeneous catalysis. However, certain properties of NP catalysts, especially NPs dispersed in solvents, indicate that there could be benefits from viewing them from the perspective ...

Size-Dependent Tumor Penetration and in Vivo Efficacy of Monodisperse Drug–Silica Nanoconjugates

Li Tang

The size of a nanomedicine strongly correlates with its biodistribution, tissue penetration, and cell uptake. However, there is limited understanding how the size of nanomedicine impacts the overall antitumor efficacy. We designed and synthesized camptothe ...

Silver release from silver nanoparticles in natural waters

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Jan Dobias

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used increasingly in consumer products for their antimicrobial properties. This increased use raises ecological concern because of the release of AgNPs into the environment. Once released, zero-valent silver may be oxidized ...
