Abstract Fe 3 O 4 –graphene composites with three‐dimensional laminated structures have been synthesised by a simple in situ hydrothermal method. From field‐emission and transmission electron microscopy results, the nanoparticles, around 3–15 nm size, are highly encapsulated graphene nanosheet matrix. The reversible Li‐cycling properties of evaluated galvanostatic discharge–charge cycling, cyclic voltammetry impedance spectroscopy. Results show that nanocomposite content 38.0 wt % exhibits...

Abstract Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder. While gene therapy has emerged as a promising treatment of inherited diseases like hearing loss, it dependent on identification delivery vectors. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated been approved in US for treating rare eye disease but no safe and efficient vectors have identified that can target diverse types inner ear cells. Here, we identify an AAV variant, AAV-inner (AAV-ie), mouse ear. Our results show AAV-ie transduces...

Hollow-structured α-Fe2O3/carbon (HIOC) nanocomposite with a high surface area of around 260 m2 g−1 was synthesized by one-step, in situ, and industrially-oriented spray pyrolysis method using iron lactate sucrose solution as the precursors. The small α-Fe2O3 nanocrystals were highly dispersed inside amorphous carbon to form nanocomposite. Electrochemical measurements showed that played an important role affecting both cycle life rate capability electrode. HIOC composites best...

Natural materials, such as bone, integrate living cells composed of organic molecules together with inorganic components. This enables combinations functionalities, mechanical strength and the ability to regenerate remodel, which are not present in existing synthetic materials. Taking a cue from nature, we propose that engineered 'living functional materials' materials synthesis platforms' incorporate both systems components could transform performance manufacturing As proof-of-concept,...

SnO2–graphene composites have been synthesized by an ultrafast and environmentally friendly microwave autoclave method. From field emission scanning electron microscopy transmission microscopy, it can be determined that the SnO2 nanoparticles, around 4–5 nm in diameter, are uniformly sandwiched between graphene nanosheets containing only a few layers. The successful synthesis demonstrates situ loading of nanoparticles effective way to prevent from being restacked during reduction. Li-cycling...

Proton conduction is essential in biological systems. Oxidative phosphorylation mitochondria, proton pumping bacteriorhodopsin and uncoupling membrane potentials by the antibiotic Gramicidin are examples. In these systems, H+ hop along chains of hydrogen bonds between water molecules hydrophilic residues – wires. These wires also support transport OH− as holes. Discriminating has been elusive. Here, achieved polysaccharide- based devices. A H+- junction with rectifying behaviour H+-type...

Although organic artificial enzymes have been reported as biomimetic oxidation catalysts and are widely used for colorimetric biosensors, developing with high enzymatic activity is still a challenge. Two-dimensional (2D) covalent frameworks (COFs) shown superior potential in biocatalysts because of their periodic π-π arrays, tunable pore size structure, large surface area, thermal stability. The interconnection electron acceptor donor building blocks the 2D conjugated COF skeleton can lead...
