Aggregation-Induced Enhancement Effect of Gold Nanoparticles on Triplet Excited State
Remarkable
optical properties are posed with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) due to
the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances, which makes
AuNPs affect strongly both the ground state and the excited state
of adjacent organic molecules. Compared with the ground state, the
effect of AuNPs on excited state of organic molecules is not always
fully understood. Here, we performed transient UV–vis absorption
experiments to monitor the triplet excited state formation of three
cationic dyes and one anionic dye in the presence of two types of
gold nanoparticles: the citrate-stabilized AuNPs and ATP-protected
AuNPs. It is found that the three cationic dyes can cause efficient
aggregation of citrate-stabilized AuNPs, leading to AuNPs aggregates
with varied size, whereas the ATP-protected AuNPs can be sustained
in the monodispersed state. By comparing the circumstances of aggregated
AuNPs and monodispersed AuNPs, we demonstrate that the enhancement
effect on triplet excited state formation results from the aggregation
of gold nanoparticles and depends on the aggregation size. These findings
reveal the aggregation induced plasmon field interaction of AuNPs
with excited state population dynamics and may enable new applications
of aggregated metal nanoparticles, where aggregates can serve as stronger
plasmonic nanoantennas

Reduced Graphene Oxide Coating with Anticorrosion and Electrochemical Property-Enhancing Effects Applied in Hydrogen Storage System
Low-capacity
retention is the most prominent problem of the magnesium nickel alloy
(Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni), which prevents it from being commercially applied.
Here, we propose a practical method for enhancing the cycle stability
of the Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni alloy. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) possesses
a graphene-based structure, which could provide high-quality barriers
that block the hydroxyl in the aqueous electrolyte; it also possesses
good hydrophilicity. rGO has been successfully coated on the amorphous-structured
Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni alloy via electrostatic assembly to form the rGO-encapsulated
Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni alloy composite (rGO/Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni). The experimental
results show that ζ potentials of rGO and the modified Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni alloy are totally opposite in water, with values of −11.0
and +22.4 mV, respectively. The crumpled structure of rGO sheets and
the contents of the carbon element on the surface of the alloy are
measured using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron
microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. The Tafel polarization
test indicates that the rGO/Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni system exhibits a much
higher anticorrosion ability against the alkaline solution during
charging/discharging. As a result, high-capacity retentions of 94%
(557 mAh g<sup>–1</sup>) at the 10th cycle and 60% (358 mAh
g<sup>–1</sup>) at the 50th cycle have been achieved, which
are much higher than the results on Mg<sub>2</sub>Ni capacity retention
combined with the absolute value reported so far to our knowledge.
In addition, both the charge-transfer reaction rate and the hydrogen
diffusion rate are proven to be boosted with the rGO encapsulation.
Overall, this work demonstrates the effective anticorrosion and electrochemical
property-enhancing effects of rGO coating and shows its applicability
in the Mg-based hydrogen storage system

<p>(A) Functionalized MMP-p5 were incubated with the DNA derived from different PCV2 representative strains in hybridization buffer at 40°C for 30 min, then oligo4 functionalized Au-NPs were added and incubated at 50°C for 30 min with stirring. After washing and magnetic separation, oligo4 were then detected by PCR as described in Methods. (B) PCV2 poly antibodies functionalized magnetic microparticles incubated with different PCV2 representative strains in assay buffer (1% BSA, 1X PBS, 0.2% Tween20 and 2% sheep serum). Antigen-antibody immune complexes were separated magnetically and were washed twice with 1 ml of magnetic-probe solution that contained PBS pH 7.4, 0.1% BSA and 0.05% Tween20. Then viral DNA were extracted by Viral DNA purification Kit, followed by PCV2-specific PCR detection.
