Near infrared (NIR) absorbing nanoparticles synthesized by the reduction of HAuCl4 with Na2S exhibited absorption bands at ∼530 nm, and in the NIR region of 650–1100 nm. The NIR optical properties were not found to be related to the earlier proposed Au2S–Au core-shell microstructure in previous studies. From a detailed study of the structure and microstructure of as-synthesized particles in this work, S-containing, Au-rich, multiply-twinned nanoparticles were found to exhibit NIR absorption. They consisted of amorphous AuxS (where x = 2), mostly well mixed within crystalline Au, with a small degree of surface segregation of S. Therefore, NIR absorption was likely due to interfacial effects on particle polarization from the introduction of AuxS into Au particles, and not the dielectric confinement of plasmons associated with a core-shell microstructure.

The Pt–WC@C demonstrates higher electrochemical activity, which could be attributed to the better dispersed Pt on WC which leads to the improved synergistic effect between WC and Pt.

The droplet-based microfluidic technology has a potent high throughput platform for biomedical research and applications [1]. Recently, Link et al. showed that an electric field can be very useful to control water droplet in carrier oil [2]. In this research, simultaneous droplet formation and sorting has been demonstrated using an electric field, allowing very precise droplet sorting to different outlets depending on the electrical actuation.
