Biotemplate-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of tubular porous Co3O4 with excellent charge-discharge cycle stability for supercapacitive electrodes

Biotemplated heterostructure materials: opportunities for the elaboration of new photocatalysts and selective-oxidation catalysts

“…1). 27–29 Recently, the field of biotemplating has emerged as a promising strategy for synthesizing inorganic materials with a hierarchical structure. Unlike conventional template synthesis, biotemplating utilizes biological-based templates, which are not only energy-conserving and environmentally friendly but also readily available at low costs.…”

Nanomaterials Derived from a Template Method for Supercapacitor Applications

“…Lin et al [26] has synthesized tubular porous Co 3 O 4 using sorghum straw as a biotemplate under hydrothermal conditions at 120 °C and post-calcined at 500 °C. The resulting porous Co 3 O 4 has inherited the morphology and microstructure of sorghum straw.…”

Morphology engineering of self-assembled porous zinc manganate hexagons for lithium ion storage

“…The corresponding selected area electron diffraction pattern (Fig. 1(g)) shows multicrystal diffraction rings, implying that the porous ZnMn2O4 hexagons are multi-crystal materials, 44 which is caused by the nanoparticles assembling. The pores between nanoparticles can be clearly observed with radius in the range 50-80 nm.…”
