Photoinduced electron transfer between chlorophyll a and gold nanoparticles
Article Abstract:
Fluorescence, electrochemcial modulation of , and nanosecond laser photolysis studies of chlorophyll (Chla) in the presence of gold (Au) particles was carried out in order to understand the process of electron transfer from excited Chla to gold nanoparticles. Also, laser photolysis of Chla in the presence of Au nanoparticles and an extra electron acceptor such as C60 was performed.

Green emission to probe photoinduced charging events in ZnO-Au nanoparticles charge distribution and Fermi-level equilibration
Article Abstract:
A simple and sensitive approach that makes use of an emission property for probing electron storage in ZnO nanoparticles is reported. It is concluded that basic understanding of the interaction between the semiconductor and metal layers leading to Fermi- level equilibration is important for evaluating the role of noble metals in photocatalytic reactions.

What factors control the size and shape of silver nanoparticles in the citrate ion reduction method?
Article Abstract:
The early reduction steps are investigated using pulse radiolysis to understand the role of sodium citrate towards the growth of particles. The complexation of citrate ions with silver plays an important role in dictating the size and shape of the silver nanocrystallites.
