چکیده
This communication reports the development of a TiO2-streptavidin nanoconjugate as a new biological label for X-ray bio-imaging applications; this new probe, used in conjunction with the nanogold probe, will make it possible to obtain quantitative, high-resolution information about the location of proteins using X-ray microscopy.

Water adsorption on TiO2 surfaces probed by soft X-ray spectroscopies: bulk materials vs. isolated nanoparticles
We describe an experimental method to probe the adsorption of water at the surface of isolated, substrate-free TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) based on soft X-ray spectroscopy in the gas phase using synchrotron radiation. To understand the interfacial properties between water and TiO2 surface, a water shell was adsorbed at the surface of TiO2 NPs. We used two different ways to control the hydration le...
متن کاملPhotokilling of Escherichia coli Using Hybrid Titania Nanoparticles Suspended in an Aqueous Liquid
In this work, the photokilling of Escherichia coli using a “one-pot” synthesized suspension of anatase crystallized nanoparticles is evaluated. Preliminary to the biological tests concerning the antibacterial efficiency, the fabricated suspension, using a derived sol-gel process in soft chemistry condition, is characterized. Structural properties of the nanoparticles are investigated using Elec...
متن کاملSynthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles in pure 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate room temperature ionic liquid and investigation of its photocatalytic properties
TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by modified sol—gel method using pure room temperature ionic liquid(RTIL) 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate as a reaction medium. The structure and morphology of TiO2nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET surface analysis and scanningelectron microscopy (SEM). TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized in open and closed vessels. The ...
متن کاملCharacterization, photocatalytic, and antibacterial activity of Ag–TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by electrical arc discharge method
A simple, inexpensive and one-step synthesis route of Ag-TiO2 nanoparticles by arc discharge method isreported. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electronmicroscopy. X-ray diffraction patterns demonstrate dominance of rutile to anatase phase in TiO2 andformation of silver metal on TiO2 after arc discharge process. Scanning electron microscopy im...
