Oligohistidine‐Functionalized Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube‐Guided RNA Delivery to Improve Shoot Regeneration Efficiency in Plant Calli

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The pH‐sensitive His6‐SWNTs, which is functionalized with oligohistidine, can deliver STTM396 molecules into callus cells. The STTM396–SWNT complex treatments enhance shoot regeneration efficiency by regulating the miR396‐GRF module in Arabidopsis and tomato calli.

Oxygen Evolution Reaction by Ni‐Hexacyanoferrates Nanocubes Integrated with Trigonal Selenium: Effect, Properties and Performances

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes a novel approach to obtain composite submicrometric structures of nickel hexacyanoferrate integrating trigonal selenium with the aim of enhancing the catalytic efficiency in oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Interestingly, the nanostructures undergo a cube‐to‐sphere transition that optimizes surface properties, leading to superior ...
