“…Compared with 4-NP itself, its conversion to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) yields a product that is less lethal to surrounding species and potentially more biodegradable in environment [5]. 4-AP is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitors and anticorrosion lubricants [6].…”

“…Phenolic compounds such as nitrophenols and their derivatives and organic dyes cause most of the water pollution that seriously threatens the environment and aquatic life 38,39. 4‐Nitrophenol (4‐NP) is toxic to the environment even at small amounts, and the degradation of 4‐nitrophenol is very difficult owing to its high stability and solubility in water 40. The reduction product of 4‐nitrophenol (i.e., 4‐aminophenol, 4‐AP) is less harmful to the environment than 4‐nitrophenol and is more biodegradable 41.…”

“…The reduction product of 4‐nitrophenol (i.e., 4‐aminophenol, 4‐AP) is less harmful to the environment than 4‐nitrophenol and is more biodegradable 41. In addition, 4‐aminophenol is used in various applications such as preparation of antipyretic and analgesic drugs, photographic development, and anticorrosion lubricants 40. The reduction of 4‐nitrophenol to 4‐aminophenol not only decreases the toxicity but also produces an important industrial intermediate.…”

Cu 2 O@Ag polyhedral core-shell nanoparticles with different morphologies (rhombicuboctahedral, cuboctahedral, truncated octahedral, and octahedral) have been successfully synthesized by a thermal decomposition approach. The Cu 2 O@Ag polyhedral core-shell nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, surface-area analysis, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The XRD results confirm the presence of Cu 2 O and silver in the Cu 2 O@Ag samples. Electron microscopy studies prove the formation of a shell of silver nanoparticles on the polyhedral Cu 2 O microcrystals. The diffuse reflectance spectra of the Cu 2 O@Ag polyhedral coreshell nanoparticles show band-gap absorption owing to Cu 2 O as well as surface plasmon resonance owing to silver nanoparti- [a]

“…The nanostructure and electrical properties of the palladium hybrids thus obtained were characterized by AFM, TEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) analysis [52]. The use of insulin fibrils as biotemplates for the deposition of platinum and their application as a catalyst for the reduction of p -nitrophenol by NaBH 4 to 4-aminophenol was described by Batzli and Love [53]; see also Juarez et al [47].…”

Purified proteins offer a homogeneous population of biological nanoparticles, equipped in many cases with specific binding sites enabling the directed self-assembly of envisaged one-, twoor three-dimensional arrays. These arrays may serve as nanoscale biotemplates for the preparation of novel functional composite materials, which exhibit potential applications, especially in the fields of nanoelectronics and optical devices. This review provides an overview of the field of protein-mediated biotemplating, focussing on achievements made throughout the past decade. It is comprised of seven sections designed according to the size and configuration of the protein-made biotemplate. Each section describes the design and size of the biotemplate, the resulting hybrid structures, the fabrication methodology, the analytical tools employed for the structural analysis of the hybrids obtained, and, finally, their claimed/intended applications and a feasibility demonstration (whenever available). In conclusion, a short assessment of the overall status of the achievements already made vs. the future challenges of this field is provided.
