Herein, we describe a novel method for producing cadmium-selenide nanoparticles (CdSe NPs) with controlled size using apoferritin as a bionanoreactor triggered by local pH change at the electrode/solution interface. Apoferritin is known for its reversible self-assembly at alkaline pH. The pH change is induced electrochemically by reducing O through the application of sufficiently negative voltages and bioelectrochemically through O reduction catalyzed by laccase, co-immobilized with apoferritin on the electrode surface.

For the first time we have studied an oscillatory chemical reaction (the well-known Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction) in acoustically levitated droplets. Acoustically levitated droplets allow wall-less reaction studies, reduce consumption of sample/reagents, offer high throughput measurements, and enable environmentally friendly chemistry by significantly reducing plastic waste. In this work, microdroplets of the BZ reactants were mixed at the central axis of a low-cost acoustic levitator.
