چکیده

Light-responsive artificial ion channels are created using self-organized TiO(2) nanotubular arrays, whose ion transport properties can be regulated by external ultraviolet light. The formation of electrostatic traps within TiO(2) nanotubes by UV light contributes to the light-regulated ion transport.

Simulation study of the transport properties of ions through ion channels serving as primary components of a nanobiosensor

Ion channels are naturally occurring pores through the proteins that regulate the passage of ions and thus maintain the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell. The ion channels control many physiological functions and they can show selectivity for a specific ion. Ion channels are mostly observed in nerve cells and muscle cells. The influx of ions into cells can be regulated by a gate...

Controllable Synthesis of TiO2@Fe2O3 Core-Shell Nanotube Arrays with Double-Wall Coating as Superb Lithium-Ion Battery Anodes

Highlighted by the safe operation and stable performances, titanium oxides (TiO2) are deemed as promising candidates for next generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the pervasively low capacity is casting shadow on desirable electrochemical behaviors and obscuring their practical applications. In this work, we reported a unique template-assisted and two-step atomic layer deposition (...

Artificial, switchable K+-gated ion channels based on flow-through titania-nanotube arrays.

In the present work, we demonstrated a novel type of artificial K(+)-gated ion channels based on titania nanotubes loaded with Au nanoparticles and G-rich DNA composite structure. K(+) promoted conformational change of G-rich DNA from flexible chain to rigid quadruplex, which provided a blocking effect for the transport of anions such as Fe(CN)(6)(4-) and other molecules through the channels in...
