Detonation nanodiamonds immobilized onto screen-printed gold electrodes have been modified with a phenothiazine (Azure A) by electrografting of the corresponding in situ generated diazonium salt in acidic medium in the presence of nitrite. The resulting disposable electrochemical platform has been…
The bifunctional possibilities of Tm,Yb:GdVO4@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles for temperature sensing by using the near-infrared (NIR)-excited upconversion emissions in the first biological window, and biolabeling through the visible emissions they generate, were investigated. (244 characters)
We studied the temperature-dependent luminescence of GdVO4 nanoparticles co-doped with Er3+ (1 mol %) and Yb3+ (20 mol %) and determined their thermal sensing properties through the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique. We also analyzed how a silica coating, in…
Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) can offer an alternative to conventional copper bactericides and possibly slow down the development of bacterial resistance. This will consequently lower the accumulation rate of copper to soil and water and lower the environmental and health burden…
In the last 10 years, asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation (AF4) has been one of the most promising approaches to characterize colloidal particles. Nevertheless, despite its potentialities, it is still considered a complex technique to set up, and the theory…
