چکیده
Decoration of nanoparticles, in particular biomolecules, gathered high attention in recent years.(1-7) Of special interest is the potential use of biomolecules as templates for the fabrication of semiconducting or metallic nanostructures.(1-7,26) In this work we show the application of atomic layer deposition, a gas-phase thin film deposition process, to biological macromolecules, which are frequently used as templates in nanoscale science, and the possibility to fabricate metal oxide nanotubes and thin films with embedded biomolecules.(1-13).

Dark field imaging of biological macromolecules with the scanning transmission electron microscope.
A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) equipped with a field emission gun has been employed for the examination of biological macromolecules at high resolution. The quality of micrographs obtained with the STEM is dependent upon the quality of the substrate used to support biological objects because the image contrast in dark field is proportional to the mass density of the specimen...
متن کاملSolid flexible electrochemical supercapacitor using Tobacco mosaic virus nanostructures and ALD ruthenium oxide
An all-solid electrochemical supercapacitor has been developed using a nanostructured nickel and titanium nitride template that is coated with ruthenium oxide by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The electrode morphology was based on a high surface area biotemplate of genetically modified Tobacco mosaic virus. The biotemplate automatically self-assembles at room temperature in aqueous solution. Na...

This paper reports on novel methodologies for the patterning and templated synthesis of virus-structured nanomaterials in two- and three-dimensional microfabricated architectures using the Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The TMV is a high aspect ratio biological molecule which can be engineered to include amino acids with enhanced binding properties. These modifications facilitate self-assembly of ...
متن کاملThe controlled deposition of metal oxides onto carbon nanotubes by atomic layer deposition: examples and a case study on the application of V2O4 coated nanotubes in gas sensing.
A new atomic layer deposition (ALD) process was applied for the uniform coating of carbon nanotubes with a number of transition-metal oxide thin films (vanadium, titanium, and hafnium oxide). The presented approach is adapted from non-aqueous sol-gel chemistry and utilizes metal alkoxides and carboxylic acids as precursors. It allows the coating of the inner and outer surface of the tubes with ...
