The present invention relates to an electric biosensor for detecting an infinitesimal sample. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for electrical detection of an infinitesimal sample, comprising the steps of: (a) preparing a biosensor by fixing, to an electrically insulated nano-electrode chip, a receptor molecule that is selectively coupled to a target substance to be subjected to an assay; (b) adding a sample that contains the target substance selectively coupled with the receptor molecule to the biosensor for reaction; (c) subjecting the nano-electrode chip that has been reacted with the target substance-containing sample to treatment and reaction with gold nanoparticles; (d) treating peripheral regions of the reacted gold nanoparticles with gold ions to induce reduction of the gold ions; and (e) measuring the electric conductivity or impedance of the nano-electrode chip where the gold ions have been reduced, thereby detecting a target substance that is specifically bonded to the receptor molecule.

The present invention relates to a method for activating a catalyst using the photothermal properties of photothermal nanomaterials, wherein light is irradiated to a catalyst-photothermal nanomaterials complex to activate a catalyst at a temperature at which the catalyst has low activity or no activity. According to the present invention, the method for activating a catalyst enables the activation of a catalyst by increasing the temperature of only the surroundings of nanomaterials while the temperature of the entire reaction media is changed slightly.

That is, the present invention can provide a method for enabling a catalyst to have high activity even at low temperature and extremely cold areas by fixing catalysts to photothermal nanomaterials, in which the catalysts have a high activity only under mild conditions. Particularly, the method is useful in the case of using a catalyst substrate which is unstable at room temperature or the generation of a catalyst reactant which is unstable at room temperature. Additionally, a chemical catalyst or a heat-resistant enzyme capable of reacting at high temperatures and which save energy to allow the reaction to be carried out even at lower temperatures or room temperature by light irradiation.
