A strategy to prepare robust enzyme@covalent organic framework microcapsules: a new platform for biosensing

open access: yesBioactive Materials
Enzyme biosensors, despite their high specificity and sensitivity, are constrained by the inherent fragility of enzymes. Despite being considered ideal for enzyme protection by in-situ covalent organic frameworks (COFs) immobilization, the harsh ...

Boosting the Energy Density of “Anode‐Free” Lithium Metal Batteries via Electrospun Polymeric Scaffolds

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
While host structures are known to enhance the reversibility and safety of lithium metal deposition, their additional volume and weight often decrease the battery's energy density and specific energy. By combining a lightweight and porous scaffold of electrospun polymer with a thinner separator, this article demonstrates a simultaneous improvement of ...

Branched Aramid Nanofibers

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2017
AbstractInterconnectivity of components in three‐dimensional networks (3DNs) is essential for stress transfer in hydrogels, aerogels, and composites. Entanglement of nanoscale components in the network relies on weak short‐range intermolecular interactions.
