To realize that, the PEC setup is improved with respect to an enhanced photocurrent signal, better stability, and an increased signal-to-noise ratio, but also for a better biocompatibility of the sensor surface on which cells have been grown. To achieve this, a QD-TiO2 heterojunction is introduced with the help of atomic layer deposition (ALD). The heterojunction reduces the charge carrier recombination inside the semiconductor nanoparticles and improves the drift behavior. The PEC performance is carefully analyzed by adjusting the TiO2 thickness and combining this strategy with multilayer immobilizations of QDs. The optimal thickness of this coating is ≈5 nm; here, photocurrent generation can be enhanced significantly (e.g., for a single QD layer electrode by more than one order of magnitude at 0 V vs Ag/AgCl). The resulting optimized electrode is used for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensing with a good sensitivity down to µmolar concentrations, reusability, stability, response rate, and repeatability. Finally, the sensing system is applied to monitor the activity of cells directly grown on top of the electrode surface.}, language = {en} } @article{ZhaoRiedelPatarroyoetal.2022, author = {Zhao, Shuang and Riedel, Marc and Patarroyo, Javier and Bast{\´u}s, Neus G. and Puntes, Victor and Yue, Zhao and Lisdat, Fred and Parak, Wolfgang J.}, title = {Tailoring of the photocatalytic activity of CeO₂ nanoparticles by the presence of plasmonic Ag nanoparticles}, series = {Nanoscale}, volume = {14}, journal = {Nanoscale}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:526-opus4-16361}, pages = {12048 -- 12059}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The present study investigates basic features of a photoelectrochemical system based on CeO2 nanoparticles fixed on gold electrodes. Since photocurrent generation is limited to the absorption range of the CeO2 in the UV range, the combination with metal nanoparticles has been studied. It can be shown that the combination of silver nanoparticles with the CeO2 can shift the excitation range into the visible light wavelength range. Here a close contact between both components has been found to be essential and thus, hybrid CeO2@Ag nanoparticles have been prepared and analyzed. We have collected arguments that electron transfer occurs between both compositional elements of the hybrid nanoparticles.The photocurrent generation can be rationalized on the basis of an energy diagram underlying the necessity of surface plasmon excitation in the metal nanoparticles, which is also supported by wavelength-dependent photocurrent measurements. However, electrochemical reactions seem to occur at the CeO2 surface and consequently, the catalytic properties of this material can be exploited as exemplified with the photoelectrochemical reduction of hydrogen peroxide. It can be further demonstrated that the layer-by layer technique can be exploited to create a multilayer system on top of a gold electrode which allows the adjustment of the sensitivity of the photoelectrochemical system. Thus, with a 5-layer electrode with hybrid CeO2@Ag nanoparticles submicromolar hydrogen peroxide concentrations can be detected.}, language = {en} } @article{MunchelHoangYueetal.2015, author = {Munchel, Sarah and Hoang, Yen and Yue, Zhao and Cottrell, Joseph and Klotzle, Brandy and Godwin, Andrew K. and Koestler, Devin and Beyerlein, Peter and Fan, Jian-Bing and Bibikova, Marina and Chien, Jeremy}, title = {Targeted or whole genome sequencing of formalin fixed tissue samples: potential applications in cancer genomics}, series = {Oncotarget}, volume = {6}, journal = {Oncotarget}, number = {28}, issn = {1949-2553}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:526-opus4-6307}, pages = {25943 -- 25961}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Current genomic studies are limited by the poor availability of fresh-frozen tissue samples. Although formalin-fixed diagnostic samples are in abundance, they are seldom used in current genomic studies because of the concern of formalin-fixation artifacts. Better characterization of these artifacts will allow the use of archived clinical specimens in translational and clinical research studies. To provide a systematic analysis of formalin-fixation artifacts on Illumina sequencing, we generated 26 DNA sequencing data sets from 13 pairs of matched formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and fresh-frozen (FF) tissue samples. The results indicate high rate of concordant calls between matched FF/FFPE pairs at reference and variant positions in three commonly used sequencing approaches (whole genome, whole exome, and targeted exon sequencing). Global mismatch rates and C·G > T·A substitutions were comparable between matched FF/FFPE samples, and discordant rates were low (<0.26\%) in all samples. Finally, low-pass whole genome sequencing produces similar pattern of copy number alterations between FF/FFPE pairs. The results from our studies suggest the potential use of diagnostic FFPE samples for cancer genomic studies to characterize and catalog variations in cancer genomes.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchubertKhalidYueetal.2010, author = {Schubert, Kirsten and Khalid, Waqas and Yue, Zhao and Parak, Wolfgang J. and Lisdat, Fred}, title = {Halbleiternanopartikel-modifizierte Elektrode zum Nachweis von Substraten von NADH-abh{\"a}ngigen Enzymreaktionen}, series = {Wissenschaftliche Beitr{\"a}ge 2009/2010}, volume = {14}, journal = {Wissenschaftliche Beitr{\"a}ge 2009/2010}, issn = {0949-8214}, doi = {10.15771/0949-8214_2010_1_2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:526-opus-810}, pages = {13 -- 22}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Es wurde ein Elektrodensystem entwickelt, das aufbauend auf Halbleiternanopartikeln (so genannte Quantenpunkte) die sensitive Detektion des Enzymkofaktors NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) erlaubt.
