We report a method of glycosylated enzyme immobilisation and stabilisation based on the formation of boronate esters between a surface-attached boronate and the enzyme glycans, followed by the growth of an organosilica layer of controlled thickness.
Hollow Ag−Pd nanoparticles have potentially high catalytic performance owing to their larger surface area compared to their corresponding solid nanoparticles. We successfully fabricated hollow Ag−Pd alloy nanodendrites and nanoboxes by using different Pd precursors (H 2 PdCl 4 and Pd(acac) 2 ) to achieve large surface area nanoboxes. Interestingly, the use of a H 2 PdCl 4 precursor led to the formation of hollow nanodendrite structures, whereas the slower reduction of Pd(acac) 2 led to the formation of hollow nanoboxes. The microstructure and chemical composition of Ag−Pd nanoparticles and properties of their growth solutions were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and ultraviolet−visible spectroscopy.
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), owing to their intrinsic plasmonic properties, are widely used in applications ranging from nanotechnology and nanomedicine to catalysis and bioimaging. Capitalising on the ability of AuNPs to...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
