Abstract
Biosynthesis by diatoms provides a green approach for nanoparticle (NP) production. However, reproducible and homogeneous shapes are essential for their application. To improve these characteristics during biosynthesis, the underlying synthesis mechanisms as well as involved substances need to be understood. The first essential step for suitable analyses is the purification of Au-silica-nanocomposites from organic biomass. Succesfully cleaned nanocomposites could, for example, be useful as catalysts. In combination with the biosynthesized NPs, this material presents a “green” catalyst and could contribute to the currently thriving green nanochemistry. In this work, we compare different purification agents with respect to their ability to purify cells of the diatom Stephanopyxis turris without separating the biosynthesized Au-silica-nanocomposites from the diatom cell walls. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) are used to localize and identify Au-silica-nanocomposites around the cells. The amount of remaining organic compounds on the purified cell is detected by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. Furthermore, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) is used to track the “gold path” during cell growth and the different purifications steps.
