Tuning Au/SiO 2 nanostructures from 1D to 3D interconnected nanotube networks using polycarbonate porous templates

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: NTs from the template prior to electroless deposition, respectively. Moreover, UV-visible analysis confirmed plasmon resonance associated with Au NPs in all functionalized systems, paving the way to applications in many fields such as nano-medicine or (photo-)catalysis. In particular, the free-standing interconnected silica-based nanotube systems provide unique features of great interest for use in nanoscale fluidic bioseparation, sensing, and flow (photo)-catalytic chemistry, as demonstrated herein for the photodegradation of methylene blue.
