Nanocomposites: Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity of Au/TiO₂ Nanocomposite Prepared Using Bifunctional Bridging Linker (Adv. Funct. Mater. 7/2014)

Abstract

On page 907, a gold‐titanium dioxide (Au/TiO2) hybrid prepared by L. Fruk and co‐workers using a bifunctional bridging linker is shown on this cover image. The bright yellow spots are gold nanoparticles stabilized by a dopamine‐lipoic acid derivative, which are then bound to titanium dioxide matrix (purple). This hybrid material shows remarkable catalytical activity towards activation of heme containing enzyme upon light irradiation.
