A study has been conducted using abrasively modified basal and edge-plane graphite, carbon-paste, and carbon-epoxy electrodes to create gold-carbon composite electrodes. Using either nano or micro-sized gold particles their suitability for use in detecting arsenic(III) is assessed. It was found that gold arrays prepared from micron-sized particles gave the best performance for arsenic detection. In particular micron arrays produced in carbon-paste electrodes with an easily renewable surface work well for detection of arsenic, producing a detection limit of 5(+/-2)x10(-9) mol L(-1), with a high sensitivity of 10(+/-0.1) A mol(-1) L.

Sensitive localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing is achieved using nanostructured geometries of noble metals which typically have dimensions less than 100 nm. Among the plethora of geometries and materials, the spherical geometries of gold (Au) are widely used to develop sensitive bio/chemical sensors due to ease of manufacturing and biofunctionlization. One major limitation of spherical-shaped geometries of Au, used for LSPR sensing, is their low refractive index (RI) sensitivity which is commonly addressed by adding another material to the Au nanostructures.

A new simple electrochemical immunosensor approach for the determination of antibodies to tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in immunological products was developed and tested. The assay is performed by detecting the silver reduction signal in the bioconjugates with antibodies (). Here, signal is read by cathodic linear sweep voltammetry (CLSV) through the detection of silver chloride reduction on a gold-carbon composite electrode (GCCE).

Nanozymes, as a new generation of artificial enzymes, offer great opportunities in biomedical engineering and disease treatment. Synergizing the multiple intrinsic functions of nanozymes can improve their performance in biological systems. Here, we report a novel nanozyme with yolk-shell structure fabricated by combining a single gold nanoparticle core with a porous hollow carbon shell nanospheres (Au@HCNs).

In the current study, we have investigated the toxicological effect of a novel hydrophilic nanoconjugate gold@carbon dot (Au@CD) and carbon dots (CDs) on the opportunistic fungal pathogen, Candida albicans. A homogenous experimental analysis was conducted for determining the toxicity of Au@CDs nanoconjugates of five different sizes ranging from 22 ± 2 to 35 ± 3 nm prepared using the carbon dots of mean hydrodynamic radius 12 ± 1 nm. The smallest size of nanoconjugate was synthesized using 0.

The deployment of hyperthermia-based treatments for cancer therapy has captured the attention of different researchers worldwide. In particular, the application of light-responsive nanomaterials to mediate hyperthermia has revealed promising results in several pre-clinical assays. Unlike conventional therapies, these nanostructures can display a preferential tumor accumulation and thus mediate, upon irradiation with near-infrared light, a selective hyperthermic effect with temporal resolution.
