Abstract

Wonderful gels: A trihybrid gel was prepared by incorporating graphene oxide and insitu synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) into an amino-acid-based native gel matrix (see pict). The morphology of this system indicates the presence of three distinctly different nanostructures: nanofibers, nanosheets, and nanoparticles. The catalytic efficiency of this trihybrid system is enhanced relative to that of AuNPs in a dihybrid system.
