Lysozyme-mediated fabrication of well-defined core–shell nanoparticle@metal–organic framework nanocomposites

Abstract

We report a versatile strategy based on self-assembled lysozymes (LYZs) to prepare core–shell nanocomposites with nanoparticles (NPs) in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs).

“…The LYZs could spontaneously form a robust layer with abundant functional groups on the surfaces of NPs such as 14 nm Au NPs, Au nanostars, CdTe quantum dots, CuO, β-FeOOH, magnetic NPs (Figure 2C), which makes them handy to mediate the MOFs heterogeneous nucleation and growth at their surface. [46] Hence, use of a stronger capping agent can be a useful approach to create core-shell NP@MOF nanocomposites due to its high affinity with both NPs and MOF.

“…Synthesis and Characterization of MPA-CdTe Core Quantum Dots. 29 Into a 35 mL microwave vessel with a stir bar, 48.5 mg CdCl 2 , 100 mg sodium citrate dehydrate, 26 μL of MPA, and 25 mL Millipore water were combined. The pH of this mixture was brought to 10.5 using 1 M NaOH, and then 11 mg of sodium tellurite and 18.9 mg of sodium borohydride were added.…”
