Abstract:
The present invention is an apparatus, system and method for forming nanoscale architectures having nanoparticles bound thereto. The present invention provides a photon beam crosslinked polymer matrix, wherein the crosslinked matrix includes one or more polymers crosslinked to one or more crosslinking agents and one or more protein-coated metal nanoparticles.
Abstract:
Carbon nanostructure (e.g., CNF) electrodes disclosed herein may be conveniently prepared on conductive substrates by pyrolysis of an organometallic nanostructure precursor in a reducing atmosphere. Such electrodes may possess suitable properties for preparation of electrocatalytic electrodes and electrochemical sensors. High surface area nitrogen doped CNFs prepared according to certain embodiments are conductive and may exhibit high stability and improved catalytic activity for O2 reduction in aqueous solutions.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for detecting a composition comprising (a) providing a first composition which reacts with an oxidase to generate a second composition; (b) providing nitrogen-doped nanocarbons; and (c) detecting the first composition with the nanocarbons. Devices and systems containing such nitrogen-doped nanocarbons are also provided.
