Dft Study Of Water Assisted Hydrogen Dissociation On Gold Nanoparticles, Jia-Li Chen, Xia-Guang Zhang, De-Yin Wu, Zhong-Qun Tian
Journal of Electrochemistry
The gold nanoparticles (GNPs) show special activity toward hydrogen (H2) dissociation, comparing with bulk gold. Such activity is significantly affected by the existence of water. To inspect the influence of water on GNPs catalyzed H2 dissociation, we carried out density functional theory (DFT) calculations along the reaction paths for water clusters (H2O)m (m = 1, 2, 3, 7) assisted H2 dissociation on gold clusters (Aunδ, n = 3 ~ 5; δ = 0, 1). Our calculated results show that water benefits to the H2 dissociation. The dissociation mechanism varies …

Journal of Electrochemistry
A novel electrochemical platform for the high sensitivity detection of riboflavin was constructed by Au nanoparticles/polydopamine/carbon nanotubes (Au-PDA-MWCNTs) nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode. The Au-PDA-MWCNTs nanocomposite was synthesized by in situ reduction method. The characteristics of the as-prepared Au-PDA-MWCNTs nanocomposite modified electrodes were investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) were used to study the electrochemical behavior of riboflavin (RF) at Au-PDA-MWCNTs nanocomposite modified electrodes. The results demonstrated that the present electrochemical sensor exhibited a wide linear range from 5×10-9 mol•L-1to 1×10-5 mol•L …

A Novel Nitrite Sensing Electrode Based On Au/Fe3O4/Chitosan Nanocomposite, Ying Dong, Yong Wang, Huan-Huan Xing, Jian-Ying Qu
Journal of Electrochemistry
A novel nitrite sensing electrode based on gold nanoparticles and iron oxides (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles was fabricated with chitosan as the protective film on glassy carbon matrix. Experiment results showed that the sensing electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic activity toward oxidation of nitrite, and the oxidation peak current increased linearly with the concentration of nitrite varying from 5.0×10-6 to 2.0×10-3 mol·L-1 (R=0.9996) with a detection limit of 7.1×10-7 mol·L-1 (S/N=3). The sensing electrode exhibited good sensitivity, selectivity and repeatability.

Room Temperature Ionic Liquid Templated Meso-Macroporous Material By Self-Assembled Giant Gold Nanoparticles And Its Enhancement On The Direct Electrochemistry Of Cytochrome C, Pei Li, Dong-Ping Zhan, Yuan-Hua Shao
Journal of Electrochemistry
Room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) is used as a soft-template to organize a meso-macroporous material constructed by self-assembled giant gold nanoparticles which are capped by L-cysteine. First, L-cysteine capped gold nanoparticles can self-assembly to form nanowires and sub-micrometer spherical giant particles due to the static interaction and/or the condensation reaction between the carboxyl and amino groups at the outer terminal of the ligand. Second, the spherical assembled particles can form a quasi-solid gel when grinding with a hydrophobic RTIL, 1-octyl-3-metyllimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. Finally, when the composite gel is coated on a glassy carbon electrode and then polarized by using cyclic voltammetry …

potential. The sulfydryl modified probe was immobilized onto surface of gold nanoparticles via Au-S covalent bond and hybridized with complementary target DNA sequences, then the DNA sensor was fabricated for the detection of PML/RARα fusion gene by chronocoulometry in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterize the surface morphology of gold nanoparticles and the constructing process of sensor. With hexaammineruthenium(Ⅲ) chloride (RuHex) as a novel electrochemical indicator, the chronocoulometric DNA biosensor was employed to monitor artificial APL PML/RARα fusion gene fragment．Experimental results showed that the gold nanoparticles amplified the detection …

The effects of adsorbed gold nanoparticles on the surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) difference spectra of redox-induced cytochrome (Cyt) c in AuNPs/Cyt c/Au sandwich architecture were monitored by SEIRA spectroscopy. The results indicated that the intensity of SEIRA difference spectrum for the vibration of the heme was significantly increased due to the adsorption of gold nanoparticles on the Cyt c. This was induced by the electron transfer between the heme and the gold nanoparticles, which also promoted electron transfer of adsorbed protein. This study suggested a new technique for optimizing the electrochemical property of adsorbed protein.
