Nanomagnet-silica shell (Fe3O4@SiO2) decorated with Au@Pd nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized successfully. The characterization of Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Au@PdNPs was achieved using several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. quantitative surface analysis confirmed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Au@Pd0.30NPs exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity by effectively catalyzing the oxidation 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in presence H2O2. absorption peaks at 370 652...
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are brightly luminescent nanocrystals that have emerged as a new class of fluorescent probes for in vivo bioimaging and theranostic applications. CdTe QDs toxicity to normal human cells is minimized by coating with less toxic ZnS ZnSe shell forming core–shell nanostructure. However, or insufficient prevent the leaching Cd metal ions. To further minimize toxicity, thiol dual capped CdTe/CdSe/ZnSe multi-core-multi-shell were coated...
