Summary: The Tauc plot is a widely used method for determining the optical gap of amorphous semiconductors. It has also been modified to study direct and indirect interband transitions in (poly-) crystalline semiconductors. Despite its popularity, the Tauc plot should be used with caution due to the variability in electronic structure.

Summary: The study assessed the performance of two aptamers (40 and 96 nt) in the colorimetric quantification of FB1 through an aptamer-target incubation step followed by the addition of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and NaCl. While MgCl2 and Tris-HCl were crucial for aptamer 96 and 40 nt, respectively, the latter was not specific for FB1. Instead, the formation of Aptamer (96 nt)-FB1-AuNP conjugates in MgCl2 exhibited stability to NaCl-induced aggregation at increasing FB1 concentrations. The application of asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) allowed for size separation and characterization with a reduction in the limit of detection from 0.002 mu g/mL to 56 fg/mL.

Summary: As the most abundant renewable aromatic polymer on the planet, lignin is gaining growing interest in replacing petroleum-based chemicals and products. However, only <5% of industrial lignin waste is revalorized in its macromolecular form as additives, stabilizing agents or dispersant and surfactants. In this study, an environmentally-friendly continuous sonochemical nanotransformation process was implemented to obtain highly concentrated lignin nanoparticles (LigNPs) dispersions for added-value material applications.

Summary: Gold nanostructures, particularly isotropic spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), have been extensively studied for their catalytic activity in heterogeneous catalytic processes. In this study, the influence of size, composition, and surface capping agents on the catalytic activity of AuNPs in reduction reactions was investigated. The results showed that the catalytic activity of AuNPs decreases with increasing size, while the presence of anisotropic AuNPs did not significantly affect the catalytic activity of AuNPs with tartrate as the reducing agent. Additionally, silver was found to enhance both the monodispersity and catalytic activity of small AuNPs. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the factors that influence the catalytic activity of AuNPs and expands the potential applications of gold-based catalysts and AuNPs in various fields.

Summary: This research explores a simple and sensitive colorimetric method for detecting metformin using synthesized gold nanoparticles. The findings show that the addition of metformin to the solution results in the instability and aggregation of the gold nanoparticles, leading to a change in the absorption peak wavelength. Additionally, the concentration of NaCl also affects the aggregation process of the gold nanoparticles. The method demonstrates a linear relationship for detecting metformin in the concentration range of 150 nM to 500 nM.

Summary: Different preparation conditions, including temperature and pH, had a significant impact on the physical properties of CdO nanoparticles. Increasing temperature enhanced the crystallinity and particle size, while pH variation led to incomplete reduction of CdO. Optical properties were found to be dependent on particle size and temperature, whereas magnetic properties showed a combination of diamagnetic and ferromagnetic contributions for all samples.

Summary: An amidation strategy has been developed for the precision functionalization of Au-11 nanoclusters based on preorganized nitrogen sites, which does not change the number of gold atoms in the kernel but slightly modifies their arrangement with the introduction of functionality and chirality.This method represents a relatively mild approach for the modification of metal nanoclusters and improves their stability and oxidation barrier.The method developed here has the potential to be a generalizable strategy for the precision functionalization of metal nanoclusters.

Summary: The designed colorimetric aptasensor utilizes a DNA aptamer and gold nanoparticles to detect anatoxin-a. The color change from red to blue of AuNPs in the presence of ATX-a is a direct result of the specific binding of the aptamer with ATX-a, allowing for easy measurement of ATX-a concentration in a linear range from 10 pM to 200 nM with high selectivity. This method shows promise as a rapid and sensitive alternative for detecting ATX-a in the environment.

Summary: The galvanic reaction between graphene quantum dot (GQD)-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNP)-modified glassy carbon (GC) surface and Hg(II) leads to the complete dissolution of AgNPs within 15 minutes and the subsequent growth of Hg(0) as a flower on the GQD surface. This unique anti-amalgamation reaction is caused by direct deposition of Hg(0) by available oxygen functional groups and strong adsorption on the GQD graphene surface, followed by subsequent growth of Hg(0) as a flower due to the galvanic reaction between AgNPs and Hg(II).
