Journal ArticleDOI
Plant nanobionics approach to augment photosynthesis and biochemical sensing
Juan Pablo Giraldo,Markita P. Landry,Sean M. Faltermeier,Thomas P. McNicholas,Nicole M. Iverson,Ardemis A. Boghossian,Ardemis A. Boghossian,Nigel F. Reuel,Andrew J. Hilmer,Fatih Şen,Jacqueline A. Brew,Michael S. Strano +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) passively transport and irreversibly localize within the lipid envelope of extracted plant chloroplasts, promote over three times higher photosynthetic activity than that of controls, and enhance maximum electron transport rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective growth of well-aligned semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Lei Ding,Alexander Tselev,Jinyong Wang,Dongning Yuan,Haibin Chu,Thomas P. McNicholas,Yan Li,Jie Liu +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that introducing methanol in the growth process, combined with the interaction between the SWNTs and the quartz lattice, leads to the selective growth of aligned semiconducting nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo biosensing via tissue-localizable near-infrared-fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes
Nicole M. Iverson,Paul W. Barone,Mia Shandell,Laura J. Trudel,Selda Sen,Selda Sen,Fatih Şen,Fatih Şen,Vsevolod Ivanov,Esha Atolia,Edgardo Farias,Thomas P. McNicholas,Nigel F. Reuel,Nicola Parry,Gerald N. Wogan,Michael S. Strano +15 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a polyethylene glycol ligated copolymer stabilizes near infrared fluorescent SWNT sensors in solution, enabling intravenous injection into mice and the selective detection of local nitric oxide concentration with a detection limit of 1 μM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontally Aligned Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube on Quartz from a Large Variety of Metal Catalysts
TL;DR: An understanding of the aligned growth mechanism on quartz is further improved and a hypothesis is proposed in which the precipitated carbon shell on the outer surface of the metal catalysts guides the alignment along the crystal lattice but not the catalysts themselves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer-free Near-Infrared Photovoltaics With Single Chirality (6,5) Semiconducting Carbon Nanotube Active Layers
Rishabh M. Jain,Rachel M. Howden,Kevin Tvrdy,S. Shimizu,Andrew J. Hilmer,Thomas P. McNicholas,Karen K. Gleason,Michael S. Strano +7 more
TL;DR: Through the construction of a carbon-based photovoltaic completely free of polymeric active or transport layers, the feasibility of this novel device is shown and the mechanisms for inefficiencies in SWNTs and carbon based solar cells are informed.
