This paper reports a new class of biosensors based on composite nanomaterial thin film. The composite nanomaterial film is synthesized using a simple vacuum filtration method. Using composite nanomaterial film, we can not only simplify the positioning and integration fabrication process of nanoscale materials into a functional device, but also enhance the sensing surface area significantly, which...
A highly sensitive and stable L-Lactate sensor based on the synergic action of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) and ZnO nanoparticles has been developed. The unique sandwich-like layer structure (PDDA/LOD/ZnO/MWCNTs) provides a favorable microenvironment to keep the bioactivity of LOD and prevent enzyme molecule leakage. Therefore, the proposed L-Lactate biosensor exhibited good analytical performances...
Graphene nanosheets (GNs) have been investigated as a counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Mesoporous TiO2 films are prepared from the commercial TiO2 nano-powders by screen-printing technique on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) slides. GNs are applied to substitute for platinum as counter-electrode materials. GN films are screen printed on FTO glass using a paste based on GNs dispersed...
Novel non-fragile porous conductive nanocomposite vapor sensors with variant volume porosities and specific surface areas have been fabricated from PMMA and carbon nanoparticles. Sensing films were obtained by well known dry-cast non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. Porous composite structures have been characterized by SEM, BET and water evaporation methods. Response behavior of fabricated...
In this study, we are focusing on the detailed control of the size and density of nanoparticles on the substrate by employing the gas-phase catalyst. To fabricate iron (Fe) nanoparticles as catalyst, Fe(CO)5 gas was used. Size and density of the nanoparticles can be controlled by varying the experimental parameters, such as the molar flow rate, the decomposition temperature and the flow time. Quartz...
Interest in the growth of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition technique using transition 3d metals as catalyst support is still a subject of intense research. In this paper, we report the morphological and magnetic properties of Co films with varying thickness prior to and post de-wetting that enabled the formation of island-like structures. Interestingly enough, we found different magnetic...
We report on a novel method based on a plasma pre-treatment for controlled nanostructuration and patterning of iron catalyst particles from a continuous film in view of carbon nanotube growth. The effects of the hydrogen plasma conditions on the diameter and the density of the catalyst nanoparticles was studied and discussed. We were then able to propose a comprehensive mechanism for the metallic...
This paper reports a rapid, simple and direct method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in polypyrrole (PPy) film, which provides a biocompatible matrix for the strong adsorption of antibodies. The electrochemical synthesis of AuNPs/PPy composite on gold or carbon electrode occurs within 20 minutes, and does not involve addition of any nanoparticles or reducing agent. This method is compatible...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) films were synthesized at low pressure using nickel as catalyst by thermal chemical vapor deposition with hydrogen-acetylene mixture. The Raman characteristics and morphological features of CNTs at different substrate temperatures were investigated. The variation of CNTs morphological feature mainly depends on the substrate temperatures. In the low temperature range (450-550degC),...
