TL;DR: In this article, an efficient and stable overall water splitting system; cobalt nitride-vanadium oxynitride nanohybrid, prepared from the polyaniline (PANI) mediated synthetic protocol was reported.
Abstract: Excellent Electrochemical water splitting with remarkable durability can provide a solution for the increasing global energy demand. Herein, we report an efficient and stable overall water splitting system; cobalt nitride-vanadium oxynitride nanohybrid, prepared from the polyaniline (PANI) mediated synthetic protocol. This nanohybrid produces significantly higher water oxidation, proton reduction as well as overall water splitting performances compared to the cobalt nitride, vanadium oxynitride or even noble metal catalyst systems. Only 263 mV overpotential is required to reach 10 mA cm−2 current density for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and 118 mV for the same in case of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Finally, the bifunctional nanohybrid has been explored for the alkaline overall water splitting at cell voltage of 1.64 V to attain 10 mA cm−2 current density with long term stability for 100 h. Post-catalytic analyses have revealed the formation of defect rich amorphous CoOx sites leading to high OER activity, whereas crystalline Co(OH)2-Coδ+-N (0

TL;DR: The elastic PGCL scaffolds produced in this study could be used to engineer SM-containing tissues (e.g. blood vessels and bladders) in mechanically dynamic environments.
Abstract: Cyclic mechanical strain has been demonstrated to enhance the development and function of engineered smooth muscle (SM) tissues, and it would be necessary for the development of the elastic scaffolds if one wishes to engineer SM tissues under cyclic mechanical loading. This study reports on the development of an elastic scaffold fabricated from a biodegradable polymer. Biodegradable poly(glycolide-co-caprolactone) (PGCL) copolymer was synthesized from glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone in the presence of stannous octoate as catalyst. The copolymer was characterized by (1)H-NMR, gel permeation chromatography and differential scanning calorimetry. Scaffolds for tissue engineering applications were fabricated from PGCL copolymer using the solvent-casting and particle-leaching technique. The PGCL scaffolds produced in this fashion had open pore structures (average pore size = 250 microm) without the usual nonporous skin layer on external surfaces. Mechanical testing revealed that PGCL scaffolds were far more elastic than poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds fabricated using the same method. Tensile mechanical tests indicated that PGCL scaffolds could withstand an extension of 250% without cracking, which was much higher than withstood by PLGA scaffolds (10-15%). In addition, PGCL scaffolds achieved recoveries exceeding 96% at applied extensions of up to 230%, whereas PLGA scaffolds failed (cracked) at an applied strain of 20%. Dynamic mechanical tests showed that the permanent deformation of the PGCL scaffolds in a dry condition produced was less than 4% of the applied strain, when an elongation of 20% at a frequency of 1 Hz (1 cycle per second) was applied for 6 days. Moreover, PGCL scaffolds in a buffer solution also had permanent deformations less than 5% of the applied strain when an elongation of 10% at a frequency of 1 Hz was applied for 2 days. The usefulness of the PGCL scaffolds was demonstrated by engineering SM tissues in vivo. This study shows that the elastic PGCL scaffolds produced in this study could be used to engineer SM-containing tissues (e.g. blood vessels and bladders) in mechanically dynamic environments.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of various synthetic and integrating strategies to improve electrical conductivity and long-range charge transport properties in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is provided.
Abstract: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are known to possess many interesting material properties such as high specific surface area, tailorable porosity, adsorption/absorption capabilities, post-synthetic modifications, and chemical/thermal stabilities. Because of these unique features, they have been explored for the development of sensors for a variety of analytes. A large proportion of pre-existing MOF-based sensors are well suited for optical transductions due to a lack of electrical conduction in their pristine forms. Hence, the development of MOF-based electrochemical/electrical sensors requires specialized strategies through which MOFs are modified or hybridized with enhanced conductive moieties (e.g., via doping or post synthetic modification). In this review article, we provide a comprehensive review of various synthetic and integrating strategies to improve electrical conductivity and long-range charge transport properties in MOFs. To this end, we have compiled details of different techniques that have been used to develop electrically/electrochemically active platforms for MOF-based sensing of various targets.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of DNA nucleobases [guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T), and cytosine (C)] adsorbed on hexagonal boron nitride (\textit{h}-BN) sheet and graphene, using local, semilocal, and van der Waals (vdW) energy-corrected density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, is presented.
Abstract: We present a comparative study of DNA nucleobases [guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T), and cytosine (C)] adsorbed on hexagonal boron nitride (\textit{h}-BN) sheet and graphene, using local, semilocal, and van der Waals (vdW) energy-corrected density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Intriguingly, despite the very different electronic properties of BN sheet and graphene, we find rather similar binding energies for the various nucleobase molecules when adsorbed on the two types of sheets. The calculated binding energies of the four nucleobases using the local, semilocal, and DFT+vdW schemes are in the range of 0.54 ${\sim}$ 0.75 eV, 0.06 ${\sim}$ 0.15 eV, and 0.93 ${\sim}$ 1.18 eV, respectively. In particular, the DFT+vdW scheme predicts not only a binding energy predominantly determined by vdW interactions between the base molecules and their substrates decreasing in the order of G$>$A$>$T$>$C, but also a very weak hybridization between the molecular levels of the nucleobases and the ${\pi}$-states of the BN sheet or graphene. This physisorption of G, A, T, and C on the BN sheet (graphene) induces a small interfacial dipole, giving rise to an energy shift in the work function by 0.11 (0.22), 0.09 (0.15), $-$0.05 (0.01), and 0.06 (0.13) eV, respectively.
