The one-step electrostatic complexation, reduction of aqueous chloroplatinate ions, and capping of the platinum nanoparticles thus formed by hexadecylaniline Langmuir monolayers is described. The capping of the platinum nanoparticles formed spontaneously at the air-water interface by hexadecylaniline enables their facile transfer as multilayers onto suitable solid substrates by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The real-time reduction of the aqueous chloroplatinate ions at the air-water interface was followed by measurement of the pressure-area isotherms, while the multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett films were characterized by quartz crystal microgravimetry, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy.

Hybrid nano-sized motors with navigation and self-actuation capabilities have emerged as promising nanocarriers for a wide range of delivery, sensing, and diagnostic applications due to their unique ability to achieve controllable locomotion within a complex biological environment such as tissue. However, most current nanomotors typically operate using a single driving mode, whereas propulsion induced by both external and local stimuli could be more beneficial to achieve efficient motility in a biomedical setting. In this work, we present a hybrid nanomotor by functionalizing biodegradable stomatocytes with platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs).

Electrochemical oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) provides an environmentally friendly route for producing the sustainable polymer monomer 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). Thus, precisely adjusting the synergistic adsorption among key reactive species, such as HMF and OH, on the carefully designed catalyst surface is essential for achieving satisfactory catalytic performance for HMF oxidation to FDCA as it is closely related to the adsorption strength and configuration of the reaction substrates. This kind of regulation will ultimately facilitate the improvement of HMF oxidation performance.

Metallic nanostructures play a vital role in technological advancement, providing exceptional performance and improved adaptability in comparison to their bulk equivalents. Conventional synthesis techniques frequently depend on dangerous reducing agents to transform metal ions into Nanoparticles (NPs), which presents considerable environmental and health issues. In contrast, the approach of green synthesis, which emphasizes the use of non-toxic reagents, has garnered significant interest as a sustainable method for the fabrication of Metallic Nanoparticles (MNPs).
