Advancements in Biomaterials: The Role of Nanowires in Electrochemical Applications
This document explores the innovative use of biomaterials, specifically focusing on the advantages of incorporating nanowires into electrocatalytic applications. While gold and silver are traditional materials for anodes, the potential of nanowires offers enhanced performance benefits. The assembly process and essential components, including plastic O-rings, lithium polymer separators, electrolyte, electrodes, and copper foils, are detailed for deeper understanding. Additionally, methods for producing phage-gold solutions are discussed, highlighting the significance of CTAB in preparing these solutions.

BioMaterials: now for “materials” Why bother with nanowires? Why not just gold or silver as anode? Upper Assembly Plastic O-Ring Lithium (s) 2 x Polymer Separators Electrolyte Electrolyte Electrode Copper Foil – Current Collector Steel Spacer Active material = gold nanowires +/- silver Lower Assembly Slide from John Burpo
Part 1: making solutions for phage+gold All groups make CTAB Do these calculations and make these solutions after you start part 2
