Hybrid nanostructures for biomedicine

Authorization required.

Laboratory staff synthesize nanostructured materials to study their properties for further application in the fields of sensorics and theranostics. In particular, molecular and nanostructured generators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are being developed and studied in the laboratory. An experimental and theoretical study of the effect of low-frequency low-intensity ultrasound on the optical and photochemical properties of ROS generators is also being conducted. Another area of the laboratory is the development and research of magnetic nanoparticles and magneto–luminescent nanocomposites based on luminescent quantum semiconductor systems and carbon dots. The laboratory is also developing and researching luminescent hybrid nanostructures based on graphene and quantum dots for sensors. Circular dichroism spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy are used to study the electronic transitions of nanostructured materials and polyatomic molecules. Confocal laser microscopy with stationary and time resolution is actively used in the laboratory to study nanoparticles and hybrid materials based on them, as well as to create holographic diffraction and sensor elements.

In situ growth of metal oxide nanostructures on a 2D matrix for advanced photocatalytic applications
This project develops and investigates the properties of TMO/MXene nanocomposites made of Transition Metal Oxide (TMO) and two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti3C2 MXene) for applications in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. The aim of the project is to synthesize nanocomposites that will be used for environmental restoration, in particular, for selective photodegradation of aquatic pollutants, as well as for use in energy (H2 production) through photocatalytic splitting of water.

Magnetic luminescent nanocomposites for biomedical applications
Magnetically luminescent nanocomposites were obtained by single-stage microwave synthesis using precursors of carbon dots and magnetic nanoparticles. Composites are interesting for their properties, such as tunable fluorescence with a quantum yield of up to 28%, high photostability and low cytotoxicity. The luminescent response of carbon dots allows them to be used as biomarkers, and magnetic susceptibility can be applied to local hyperthermia of cells under the influence of an alternating magnetic field.

Creation of hybrid structures based on filamentous nanocrystals and carbon dots for nanophotonics elements
The mechanisms of interaction and effective injection of charge carriers from luminescent nanoparticles to filamentous nanocrystals (nanowiskers) with a large surface area are investigated. Under certain conditions, a nanowisker can act as a resonator, enhancing the luminescence of particles decorating its surface. Such hybrid structures can be used to produce photosensitive sensors and sensors.

Spectroscopy of circular and magnetic circular dichroism of nanostructures and composites based on them

Spectroscopy of circular and magnetic circular dichroism of nanostructures and composites based on them
Spectroscopy of magnetic circular dichroism of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONS) and composites based on them. Investigation of aggregation conditions, optical and magneto-optical properties of tetrapyrrole compounds (pheophorbide A and its analogues, including the zinc complex of tetraphenylporphine and its non-metallic analog). MCD spectra are more informative than absorption spectra in identifying electronic transitions corresponding to overlapping absorption bands. It is possible to identify degenerate transitions, despite the fact that the absorption spectra themselves in the ultraviolet and visible regions do not allow this. The MCD spectra provide additional information about the contribution of the magnetic dipole moment, which is determined by a change in the intensity of the MCD signal, compared with absorption spectra in which only the contribution of the electric dipole moment prevails.

Sensors based on hybrid Graphene structures/Quantum dots
Creation and investigation of the dependence of photophysical and photovoltaic properties of a photochemical sensor based on graphene nanofibers and triple quantum dots for the detection of nitrogen-containing gases and volatile markers of certain diseases. Manufacturing and identification of dependences of photophysical and photoelectric properties of a biosensor based on nanostructured carbon, triple quantum dots and phthalocyanines/tetrapyrazineporphyrazines for the preventive detection of cardiovascular diseases. The use of a hybrid system based on graphene and semiconductor nanocrystals is the most popular solution for achieving high efficiency conversion of absorbed energy into a useful signal of a final photovoltaic device.
