Firstly, an Au substrate was cycled in a deoxygenated aqueous solution containing 0.1 M HCI and 60 mM anatase TiO2 nanoparticles from -0.28 to ＋1.22 V vs Ag/AgCI at 500 mV/s with 25 scans. The durations at the cathodic and anodic vertexes are 10 and 5 s, respectively. After this process, Au-and TiO2-containing complexes were left in the solution. Then a Pt electrode immediately replaced the Au working electrode, and a cathodic overpotential of 0.6 V from the Open Circuit Potential （OCP） was applied under sonification to synthesize Au nanoparticles. Encouragingly, the prepared Au nanoparticles caped with visible light-responsible TiO2 nanoparticles are more active for the decomposition of formaldehyde than pure visible light-responsible TiO2 nanoparticles are in the same condition. After 5 days testing, the formaldehyde was decomposed ca. 35% in containing Au nanoparticles caped with visible light-responsible TiO2 nanoparticles, but the formaldehyde was decomposed only ca. 25% in containing pure visible light-responsible TiO2 nanoparticles.展开更多

The fast response to magnetic fields and optical properties of gold nanoparticle-based colloidal systems are the two main advantages of this new Fe@Au nanomaterial. These advantages allow for the use of this new colloidal nanomaterial for various purposes in proteomics and biomedicine, as proteins can bind to the surface, and the surface can also be funcfionalized. As proof-of-concept, the new Fe@Au nanoparticles have been assessed in biomarker discovery as a tool for pre-concentration and separation of proteins from complex proteomes. To this end, sera from healthy people were compared with sera from patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The application of this new Fe@Au nanomaterial combined with mass spectrometry has allowed for the identification of 53 proteins, and it has also shown that the heat shock protein HSP75 and the plasma protease C1 inhibitor are potential biomarkers for diagnostics and control of multilvle mveloma vro^ression.展开更多
