Vertically aligned Tit2 nanorod arrays （NRs） are grown on the fluorine-doped tin oxide （FTO） substrates by a multicycle hydrothermal synthesis process. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）, and selected-area electron diffraction （SAED）. It is found that dye-sensitized solar cells （DSSCs） assembled by the as-prepared Tit2 single-crystal NRs exhibit different trends under the condition of different nucleation and growth concentrations. Optimum cell performance is obtained with high nucleation concentration and low growth cycle concentration. The efficiency enhancement is mainly attributed to the improved specific surface area of the nanorod.展开更多

However, traditional affinity reagents such as antibodies(and their fragments) and non-immunoglobulin(non-Ig) scaffold binders, usually suffer from problems of poor cellular uptake efficiency, high production cost, and low structural stability. This leads to rapid development of small antibody-like affinity reagents such as scaffold-free cyclic and multicyclic peptides, which usually have 5-30 amino acid residues, thus lying between non-Ig scaffolds and small molecules in size. In this mini-review, we highlight the recent development in mono-and multi-cyclic peptide mimics of antibodies, including cyclic peptide affinity reagents that have been developed for use in antibody-like applications, novel synthetic strategies for multicyclic peptides, and promising peptide library screening platforms. We also provide a perspective on the future development in multicyclic peptide mimics of antibodies.展开更多
