Electrochemical Properties of Phytosynthesized Gold Nanoparticles for Electrosensing.

ABSTRACT: Gold nanoparticles are widely used in electrosensing. The current trend is to phytosynthesize gold nanoparticles (phyto-AuNPs) on the basis of the "green" chemistry approach. Phyto-AuNPs are biologically and catalytically active, stable and biocompatible, which opens up broad perspectives in a variety of applications, including tactile, wearable (bio)sensors. However, the electrochemistry of phytosynthesized nanoparticles is not sufficiently studied. This work offers a comprehensive study of the electrochemical activity of phyto-AuNPs depending on the synthesis conditions. It was found that with an increase in the aliquot of the plant extract, its antioxidant activity (AOA) and pH, the electrochemical activity of phyto-AuNPs grows, which is reflected in the peak potential decrease and an increase in the peak current of phyto-AuNPs electrooxidation. It has been shown that AOA is an important parameter for obtaining phyto-AuNPs with desired properties. Electrodes modified with phyto-AuNPs have demonstrated better analytical characteristics than electrodes with citrate AuNPs in detecting uric and ascorbic acids under model conditions. The data about the phyto-AuNPs' electrochemistry may be useful for creating highly effective epidermal sensors with good biocompatibility.

Project description:Starting from the well-known antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles, the goal of this study is to evaluate the influence of two "green" recipes, namely an alcoholic extract of Dryopteris filix-mas (L.) Schott and a dispersion of silver nanoparticles phytosynthesized using the extract on grapevine pathogens. The influence of some grapevine parameters (pith/wood rapport, soluble sugars, starch, total sugars, total water content, length of young shoots, number of grapes) in field experiments was also studied. The study was conducted on four clones (Feteasca alba 97 St., Feteasca neagra 6 St., Feteasca regala 72 St., and Cabernet Sauvignon 131 St.) located in vegetation pots inside a greenhouse. For the phytosynthesis of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) we used a scaled-up technology, allowing us to obtain large quantities of nanoparticles-containing solution. The AgNPs analysis by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the synthesis of spherical and quasi-spherical nanoparticles of 17 nm average diameter and 6.72 nm crystallite size. The field experiments registered different responses of the four clones to the treatment, using both the natural extracts and phytosynthesized nanoparticles solution. Both recipes exhibited a protective effect against the Uncinula necator pathogen. For the treatment using phytosynthesized nanoparticles, significant increases in the pith/wood ratio for white wine clones (Feteasca alba 97 St. and Feteasca regala 72 St.) were observed. The biochemical analyses revealed other significant increases of soluble sugars (red wine clones-Feteasca neagra and Cabernet Sauvignon/second year), starch (Feteasca alba and Cabernet Sauvignon in 2021 for both clones), total sugars (Feteasca alba and Feteasca neagra in 2021 for both clones), and of total water content (Feteasca alba and Feteasca neagra in 2021 for both clones), respectively. The applied treatments also led to an increase of young shoots length and grape numbers for all clones as compared to the control (chemical pesticide), which would suggest a potential biostimulant effect of the recipes.
