Gold-foil can be used to fabricate carbide-derived nanoporous carbon based polymeric actuators. Gold-foil modified actuators show high frequency response and low operating voltage.
TiO2 coated gold foils can used to enhance the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose.
Gold foil can be used as a reference electrode for the electro-reduction of carbon dioxide.

Innovative hybrid nanocomposites based on a nanostructured block copolymer (BCP) matrix whose lamellar nanodomains are selectively loaded with metal nanoparticles, have been prepared. A symmetric poly(styrene-b-methylmethacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) amorphous BCP showing a lamellar morphology has been employed. Thin films of PS-b-PMMA
