TL;DR: The obtained Au–BC nanocomposites are used as excellent support for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilization, which allows the detection of H2O2 with a detection limit lower than 1 µM.

TL;DR: A comprehensive analysis of an adult sea urchin spine is presented, and in revealing a complex, hierarchical structure, it is shown how Nature fabricates a material which diffracts as a single crystal of calcite and yet fractures as a glassy material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of the H-LTO nanosheet arrays was through kinetics-controlled growth during the hydrothermal metal corrosion process, and the self-supported LTO arrays standing on conductive Ti foil exhibited an excellent rate capability (a reversible capacity of 163mA h g−1 and 78 mA hg−1 at 20 C and 200 C, respectively) and an outstanding cycling performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, anatase TiO2 nanocuboids enclosed by active {100} and {001} facets over a wide size range (60-830 nm in length) with controllable aspect ratios were solvothermally synthesized through hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) using acetic acid (HAc) as the solvent and the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]) as the capping agent.

TL;DR: In this paper, large pore mesoporous silica microspheres with tailored pore sizes were obtained via a two-step synthesis process by using a triblock copolymer EO20PO70EO20 as template in combination with a cosurfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and a cosolvent ethanol.
