Abstract
Controlled synthesis of small and catalytically active noble metal nanoparticles under mild aqueous conditions is an unmet challenge. Genetically modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can serve as a preferential precursor adsorption and growth sites for the controlled synthesis of palladium (Pd) nanoparticles with high catalytic activity. Here we describe detailed methods for the synthesis of Pd-TMV nanocomplexes as well as their integration into polymeric hydrogel microparticle platforms with controlled dimensions via a simple replica molding process. Such Pd-TMV-containing hydrogel particles may be useful in environmental remediation of toxic chemicals such as carcinogenic dichromate ions.
