Virus-templated Au and Au-Pt core-shell nanowires and their electrocatalytic activities for fuel cell applications

A facile synthetic route was developed to make Au nanowires (NWs) from surfactant-mediated bio-mineralization of a genetically engineered M13 phage with specific Au binding peptides. From the selective interaction between Au binding M13 phage and Au ions in aqueous solution, Au NWs with uniform diam...
