The study reports a facile and eco-friendly approach for nanomaterial synthesis and enzyme immobilization. A corresponding glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and glucose oxidase (GOD) multilayer films onto the polypyrrole (PPy)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via the electrodeposition and self-assembly. PPy and graphene oxide were first coated on the surface of a bare GCE by the electrodeposition. Then, AuNPs and GOD were alternately immobilized onto PPy-RGO/GCE electrode using the electrodeposition of AuNPs and self-assembly of GOD to obtain AuNPs-GOD multilayer films. The resulting PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)n/GCE biosensors were used to characterize and assess their electrocatalytic activity toward glucose using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The response current increased with the increased number of AuNPs-GOD layers, and the biosensor based on four layers of AuNPs-GOD showed the best performance. The PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)4/GCE electrode can detect glucose in a linear range from 0.2 mM to 8 mM with a good sensitivity of 0.89 μA/mM, and a detection limit of 5.6 μM (S/N = 3). This study presents a promising eco-friendly biosensor platform with advantages of electrodeposition and self-assembly, and would be helpful for the future design of more complex electrochemical detection systems.

With the synthesized Au/hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocomposites, the HAp nanorods favored adsorption of hydrazine, thus bringing hydrazine closer to the catalytic sites of Au nanoparticles and increasing the efficiency of hydrazine oxidation.

In this study, the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) without carbon support were prepared using the well-known citrate reduction method. The carbon supported AuNPs nanocomposites were fabricated by two different approaches: chemical adsorption of AuNPs from the prepared citrate stabilized AuNP colloidal solution on the carbon powder surface and one-pot microwave-assisted synthesis. The nanocomposites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The electrocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was evaluated for the electrooxidation of glucose in an alkaline media using cyclic voltammetry. The highest electrocatalytic activity was observed for the catalyst of carbon supported Au nanoparticles prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis, followed by the catalyst of carbon supported Au nanoparticles prepared by means of the adsorption method, whereas the pure Au nanoparticles without carbon support exhibited the lowest electrocatalytic properties for glucose electrooxidation.

In the present work, a promising method was proposed for the formation of new functional nanocomposite materials based on bacterial cellulose and Au nanoparticles obtained by a biocompatible and environmentally friendly metal vapor synthesis. The structure and composition of the composite films surface were studied by XPS, SEM, and IR spectroscopy. It was determined that Au nanoparticles effectively chemisorb the bacterial cellulose nanofibrils forming nanoparticles with a size of about 25 nm with a metal core-hydrocarbon shell structure.
