To overcome the problems faced by TiO2 materials for lithium-ion batteries usage, such as
easy nanoparticles agglomeration during cycling and poor cycling performance, in this …

Genetic engineering of phage provides unprecedented opportunities to build novel
nanomaterials by integrating biology, chemistry and materials science principles. By …

We demonstrate the synthesis of uniform one-dimensional (1D) titania hybrid nanotubes
using core–shell–corona cylindrical polymer brushes (CPBs) as soft templates. The CPBs …

Copper-based inorganic–protein hybrid nanoflowers were constructed on the surface of a
nanofiber membrane, creating a highly biocompatible, biomimetic, and multilevel surface …

Hybrid aerogels composed of functional low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDNs) and
reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hold great promise in fields ranging from catalysis to energy …

Several self-assembling peptide and protein systems that form nanotubes, helical ribbons
