    High-throughput screening Raman microspectroscopy for assessment of drug-induced changes in diatom cells
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019) Rüger J.; Mondol A.S.; Schie I.W.; Popp J.; Krafft C.
    High-throughput screening Raman spectroscopy (HTS-RS) with automated localization algorithms offers unsurpassed speed and sensitivity to investigate the effect of dithiothreitol on the diatom Phaedactylum tricornutum. The HTS-RS capability that was demonstrated for this model system can be transferred to unmet analytical applications such as kinetic in vivo studies of microalgal assemblages. © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

    Design of a scalable AuNP catalyst system for plasmon-driven photocatalysis
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Stolle, H.L.K.S.; Garwe, F.; Müller, R.; Krech, T.; Oberleiter, B.; Rainer, T.; Fritzsche, W.; Stolle, A.
    In this work we present a simple, fast and cost-efficient synthesis of a metal nanoparticle catalyst on a glass support for plasmon driven heterogeneous photocatalysis. It is based on efficient mixing of metal salts as particle precursors with porous glass as the supporting material in a mixer ball mill, and the subsequent realization of a complete catalyst system by laser sintering the obtained powder on a glass plate as the support. By this, we could obtain catalyst systems with a high particle proportion and an even spatial particle distribution in a rapid process, which could be applied to various kinds of metal salt resulting in plasmon active metal nanoparticles. Furthermore, the catalyst production process presented here is easily scalable to any size of area that is to be coated. Finally, we demonstrate the catalytic performance of our catalysts by a model reaction of ethanol degradation in a self-designed lab-scale reactor.
