Article Synopsis
- - The study details the creation of gold/polypyrrole (Au/PPy) nanopeapods using a modified M13 bacteriophage as a template, which has specific peptides that attract gold nanoparticles (Au NPs).
- - A thin layer of polypyrrole was then polymerized around these gold nanoparticles, achieving a conductive shell with a controlled thickness of about 17.4 nm, and the electrical properties were enhanced using an acid treatment.
- - These nanopeapods were tested as sensors for ammonia gas, exhibiting significant sensitivity, especially after acid treatment, with the ability to detect very low concentrations down to 0.005 ppmv.
