We report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of titania-supported bimetallic PdAu particles prepared using dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticle (DEN) precursors. Single-particle energy-dispersive spectroscopy indicates a homogeneous distribution of bimetallic nanoparticles having compositions closely related to the metal-ion ratios used to prepare the DEN precursors. The catalytic activity of the supported PdAu catalysts was compared to that of supported Pd-only and Au-only catalysts; the enhanced CO oxidation activity of the PdAu catalysts is indicative of a synergetic bimetallic interaction.

A three-dimensional (3D) self-assembled AuNPs/TiC MXene hydrogel (AuNPs/TiC MXH) nanocomposite was prepared for the fabrication of a novel microRNA-122 electrochemical biosensor. The 3D hydrogel structure was gelated from two-dimensional MXene nanosheets with the assistance of graphite oxide and ethylenediamine. MXene hydrogels supported the in situ formation of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) that predominantly exploring the (111) facet, and these AuNPs are utilized as carriers for hairpin DNA (hpDNA) probes, facilitating DNA hybridization.

A versatile method is presented to form dendrimer superstructures by exploiting coacervate-core micelles as a template to confine and organize the hyperbranched macromolecules. First, complex coacervate-core micelles are formed from negative-neutral block copolymers and positively charged polyamidoamine dendrimers. The dendrimers inside the micellar core are then covalently cross-linked with each other upon addition of glutaraldehyde.

Background: Gold nanoparticles with high biocompatibility and immunomodulatory properties have potential applications in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for nanomedicine. Nanoparticles targeting macrophages can manipulate or control immunological diseases. This study assessed the activity of dendrimer-encapsulated gold nanodots (AuNDs) with three surface modifications [ie, outfacing groups with primary amine (AuNDs-NH2), hydroxyl (AuNDs-OH), and quaternary ammonium ions (AuNDs-CH3)] regulated macrophage function and antioxidant response through Nrf2-dependent pathway.

Development of highly efficient catalysts to expedite the degradation of organic dyes has been drawing great attention. The aggregation of catalysts reduces the accessibility of catalytic centers for organic dyes and therefore decreases their catalytic ability. Herein, we report a facile method to prepare highly biocompatible and stable dendrimer-encapsulated palladium nanoparticles (Pd -G5MCI NPs), which exhibit high catalytic efficiency for oxidation of morin.

Among various approaches synthesizing metal nanoparticles and tiny clusters, a template method using dendrimers has significant advantages over other chemical approaches with respect to their synthetic precision and the scalability. A dendrimer of polydentate ligands assembles metal ions or salts into the interior allowing production of metal nanoparticles in the dendrimer. The dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) exhibit unique and remarkable catalytic properties depending on the size and elemental formula.
