This paper explores the possibility of using bio-conjugation to disperse nanoparticles into composite matrices for catalytic purposes. Solid state catalysis is a complex mechanism which can be drastically affected by catalyst size, morphology, surface condition, concentration, dispersal, and location to critical reaction sites. To better understand these mechanisms, as well as to tune solid catalysts to have the greatest specific effect, it is sometimes desired to arrange them into difficult to achieve, high free energy formulations. To overcome their natural characteristics, templating bio molecules can be used to arrange the particles into these difficult formulations to more completely understand the kinetics of the catalysis. One of the more prevalent methods of nanoparticle conjugation involves Watson-Crick base pairing, a method not suitable for aggressive solvents, or for conjugating many types of particles. Here we explore a novel method for biomolecule based nanoparticle conjugation with application to dispersion of catalytic particles in a solid matrix. The effects of these various dispersions are then studied using microscopic, spectroscopic, and colorimetric methods.
