TL;DR: Examination of spectroscopic characteristics of Au3+ biosorption by waste biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed that active groups such as the hydroxyl group of saccharides, and the carboxylate anion of amino-acid residues from the peptidoglycan layer on the cell wall seem to be the sites for the Au3- binding.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that modulating electronic structures by transition-metal doping is expected to provide effective means to manipulate electronic, optical, chemical, and catalytic properties of thiolated noble metal nanoclusters.
Abstract: With the incorporation of Pd or Pt atoms, thiolated Ag-rich 25-metal-atom nanoclusters were successfully prepared and structurally characterized for the first time. With a composition of [PdAg24(SR)18]2– or [PtAg24(SR)18]2–, the obtained 25-metal-atom nanoclusters have a metal framework structure similar to that of widely investigated Au25(SR)18. In both clusters, a M@Ag12 (M = Pd, Pt) core is capped by six distorted dimeric -RS-Ag-SR-Ag-SR- units. However, the silver-thiolate overlayer gives rise to a geometric chirality at variance to Au25(SR)18. The effect of doping on the electronic structure was studied through measured optical absorption spectra and ab initio analysis. This work demonstrates that modulating electronic structures by transition-metal doping is expected to provide effective means to manipulate electronic, optical, chemical, and catalytic properties of thiolated noble metal nanoclusters.

TL;DR: A general protocol for the making of surface-imprinted core-shell nanoparticles via surface reversible addition-fragmentation chain- transfer (RAFT) polymerization using RAFT agent functionalized model silica nanoparticles as the chain-transfer agent was presented.
Abstract: In this paper, we present a general protocol for the making of surface-imprinted core−shell nanoparticles via surface reversible addition−fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization using RAFT agent functionalized model silica nanoparticles as the chain-transfer agent. In this protocol, trichloro(4-chloromethylphenyl)silane was immobilized on the surface of SiO2 nanoparticles, forming chloromethylphenyl functionalized silica (silica-Cl). RAFT agent functionalized silica was subsequently produced by substitute reaction of silica-Cl with PhC(S)SMgBr. The grafting copolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate using surface RAFT polymerization and in the presence of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid as the template led to the formation of surface-imprinted core−shell nanoparticles. The resulting surface-imprinted core−shell nanoparticles bind the original template 2,4-D with an appreciable selectivity over structurally related compounds. The potential use of the surface-imprinted ...

TL;DR: A 2D hierarchical Pd/SnO2 structure, ultrathin Pd nanosheets partially capped by SnO2 nanoparticles, is designed to enable multi-electron transfer for selective electroreduction of CO2 into CH3 OH.
Abstract: Electrochemical conversion of CO2 into fuels using electricity generated from renewable sources helps to create an artificial carbon cycle. However, the low efficiency and poor stability hinder the practical use of most conventional electrocatalysts. In this work, a 2D hierarchical Pd/SnO2 structure, ultrathin Pd nanosheets partially capped by SnO2 nanoparticles, is designed to enable multi-electron transfer for selective electroreduction of CO2 into CH3 OH. Such a structure design not only enhances the adsorption of CO2 on SnO2 , but also weakens the binding strength of CO on Pd due to the as-built Pd-O-Sn interfaces, which is demonstrated to be critical to improve the electrocatalytic selectivity and stability of Pd catalysts. This work provides a new strategy to improve electrochemical performance of metal-based catalysts by creating metal oxide interfaces for selective electroreduction of CO2 .

TL;DR: In this article, a plasmonic perfect absorber was proposed to enhance the optical absorbance ratio of single and three atomic layer graphene, which showed polarization dependence and tolerates a wide range of incident angles, and the peak position and bandwidth of graphene absorption spectra are tunable in a wide wavelength range through a specific structural configuration.
Abstract: Enhancement and manipulation of light absorption in graphene is a significant issue for applications of graphene-based optoelectronic devices. In order to achieve this purpose in the visible region, we demonstrate a design of a graphene optical absorber inspired by metal-dielectric-metal metamaterial for perfect absorption of electromagnetic waves. The optical absorbance ratios of single and three atomic layer graphene are enhanced up to 37.5% and 64.8%, respectively. The graphene absorber shows polarization-dependence and tolerates a wide range of incident angles. Furthermore, the peak position and bandwidth of graphene absorption spectra are tunable in a wide wavelength range through a specific structural configuration. These results imply that graphene in combination with plasmonic perfect absorbers have a promising potential for developing advanced nanophotonic devices.
