Sensors have a fundamental role in improving the world around us. For increasing sensitivity and faster response, new bottom-up approaches are required. DNA nanotechnology allows the creation of nanostructure arrays that can serve the purpose.
We study the controlled growth of 1D metallic nanostructures using DNA origami templates. The DNA nanomolds are folded via staples to obtain the desired conformation. The functionalized template provides the active site for a localized seed nanoparticle attachment, thus allowing metallization by electroless plating. We report continuous Pd and Au 1D nanowires based on this method.
The conductance of the assembled nanostructures through two-probe measurements was investigated. Different origami templates lead to diverse metal morphologies, which influence electronic properties. Temperature-dependent measurements determined the transport mechanism of these nanowires, proving the first step toward an electronic nanosensor.
