Modification with hemeproteins increases the diffusive movement of nanorods in dilute hydrogen peroxide solutions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanorods were decorated with different hemeproteins that are able to convert hydrogen peroxide. When dispersed into hydrogen peroxide solutions, most of these nanorods are characterized by diffusion coefficients which increase with the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Such a behaviour does not characterize unmodified nanorods.

Bipolar electrochemical mechanism for the propulsion of catalytic nanomotors in hydrogen peroxide solutions.
Bimetallic nanorods are propelled in aqueous solutions by the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. Several mechanisms (interfacial tension gradients, bubble recoil, viscous Brownian ratchet, self-electrophoresis) have been proposed for the transduction of chemical to mechanical energy in this system. From Tafel plots of anodic and cathodic hydrogen peroxide reaction...
متن کاملCatalytic nanomotors: remote-controlled autonomous movement of striped metallic nanorods.
Powering nanoscale machinery by nanosized motors that move by in situ conversion of stored chemical energy is one of the most interesting challenges facing nanotechnology. Such a procedure would circumvent the need for an external macroscopic power source. In nature, nanoscale motors typically operate by energy derived from the enzymatic catalysis of spontaneous reactions. At the nanoscale, int...

Nanowires have seen a host of new applications in recent years from self-propulsion and transportation of colloidal cargo, to energy generation, biosensing, and the fabrication of advanced optical and acoustic devices. One factor that has undoubtedly contributed to the rise of nanowire technology has been the ability to grow these nanowires and modify their surfaces via a variety of methods. Re...
متن کاملThe Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide by Liver Catalase
1. The velocity of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase as a function of (a) concentration of catalase, (b) concentration of hydrogen peroxide, (c) hydrogen ion concentration, (d) temperature has been studied in an attempt to correlate these variables as far as possible. It is concluded that the reaction involves primarily adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. 2. Th...
