Journal ArticleDOI
Negligible Particle-Specific Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles
TL;DR: This work suggests that AgNP morphological properties known to affect antimicrobial activity are indirect effectors that primarily influence Ag(+) release, and antibacterial activity could be controlled by modulating Ag(+ release, possibly through manipulation of oxygen availability, particle size, shape, and/or type of coating.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Aggregation-Induced Emission of Au(I)–Thiolate Complexes to Ultrabright Au(0)@Au(I)–Thiolate Core–Shell Nanoclusters
TL;DR: Strong luminescence emission by the mechanism of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is reported of Au(I)-thiolate complexes, and the synthetic strategy was extended to other thiolate ligands with added functionalities (in the form of custom-designed peptides).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Synthesis of SERS-Active Gold Nanoflower Tags for In Vivo Applications
TL;DR: The key synthesis strategy was to use a common Good's buffer, HEPES, as a weak reducing and particle stabilizing agent to confine the growth of the Au nanocrystals in the special reaction region of limited ligand protection (LLP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene-like MoS2/amorphous carbon composites with high capacity and excellent stability as anode materials for lithium ion batteries
TL;DR: In this paper, a facile process to synthesize graphene-like MoS2/amorphous carbon (a-C) composites was developed, which exhibited high capacity and excellent cyclic stability used as anode materials for Li-ion batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of highly fluorescent metal (Ag, Au, Pt, and Cu) nanoclusters by electrostatically induced reversible phase transfer.
TL;DR: The synthetic protocol was successfully extended to fabricate highly fluorescent Ag NCs protected by custom-designed peptides with desired functionalities, and should largely contribute to the practical applications of this new class of fluorescence probes.
