Hydrogen generation from water-gas shift (WGS) reaction requires the import of secondary energy, making it unsuitable for large scale application. Herein, we present a new system composed by new photothermal...
Using bioethanol steam reforming (ESR) to produce green hydrogen is restricted by the low activity, coke, sintering of Ni based catalysts as well as the consumption of fossil energy, which...
Resolving quantum dots and peptide assembly and disassembly using bending capillary electrophoresisDespite the numerous techniques developed for the studying nanoparticle and peptide interaction nowadays, sensitive and convenient assay in the process of flow, especially to simulate the self-assembly of quantum dots (QDs) and peptide inflow in blood vessels, still remains big challenges. Here, we report a novel assay for studying the self-assembly of QDs and peptide, based on CE using a bending capillary. We demonstrate that the semicircles numbers of the bending capillary affect the self-assembly kinetics of CdSe/ZnS QDs and ATTO-D 3 LVPRGSGP 9 G 2 H 6 peptide. Moreover, benefitting from this novel assay, the effect of the position on the self-assembly has also been realized. More importantly, we also demonstrate that this novel assay can be used for studying the stability of the QDspeptide complex inflow. We believe that our novel assay proposed in this work could be further used as a general strategy for the studying nanoparticle-biomolecule interaction or biomolecule-biomolecule interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
