PHOTOCATALYTIC PARTICLES WITH DIRECTED AND CONTROLLED REDOX ACTIVITY

摘要

A modified particle. The modified particle comprises: a semiconductor particle which is photoactivatable; and a modifier molecule attached to the semiconductor particle, wherein the modifier molecule includes an electrochemically reversible redox active site which is photoexcitable. Bioconjugated nanoparticle probes, Redox-NSs and methods of using these modified particles are also described.
