Journal ArticleDOI

One-pot synthesis of water soluble iron nanoparticles using rationally-designed peptides and ligand release.

TL;DR: The rational design of new phosphopeptides for control of nucleation, growth and aggregation of water-soluble, superparamagnetic iron-iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles enables a one-pot synthesis that avoids utilizing unstable or toxic iron precursors, organic solvents, and the need for exchange of capping agent after synthesis of the NPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting the role of seed morphology in the evolution of anisotropic nanocatalysts

TL;DR: A detailed computational study into the atomic structure of platinum nanoparticles at early growth stages of formation, as a function of temperature and atomic deposition rates, finds that the choice of initial seed is an important driver for symmetry breaking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colloidal synthesis of inorganic fullerene nanoparticles and hollow spheres of titanium disulfide

TL;DR: The synthesis of inorganic fullerene nanoparticles and IF hollow spheres of titanium disulfide by a simple colloidal route is reported and the injection temperature of the titanium precursor into the solvent mixture was found to be important in controlling the morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gold nanoparticles immobilised in a superabsorbent hydrogel matrix: facile synthesis and application for the catalytic reduction of toxic compounds.

TL;DR: Two methods are reported for the one-pot preparation of high concentrations of gold nanoparticles embedded throughout sodium polyacrylate hydrogels, which stabilises the AuNP in even extremely high ionic strength environments, and enables them to act as effective catalysts for the hydride-reduction of nitrophenols and of dyes, with zero order kinetics.
