Nanoarchitectonics for fullerene biology

Nanoarchitectonics horizons: materials for life sciences

“…They can be tailored via nanoarchitectonics, such as the addition of surfactants, and can be utilized to encapsulate therapeutic molecules to serve as a diagnostic moiety. 36 For conducting high-throughput translational proteomic analysis, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were developed for rapid magnetic separation from plasma to study proteomic profiling in an effective manner. Decorated gold nanocubes have been used as a fluorescent probe for imaging human liver cancer cells and human embryo kidney cells using single-photon excitation.…”

Porous carbon nanoarchitectonics for the environment: detection and adsorption

“…Tremendous effort was devoted to discover new strategies to get various self-assembled nanostructures with tailored functionality and thereby have been explored in a wide variety of fields, including biomedicine, optics, spintronics, semiconductors, and electronics. [152][153][154][155]210,211 In addition, the applicability of fullerene nanostructures could be increased (in the field of solar cells, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage, photocatalysts, and sensing) 212,213 by increasing the surface areas and This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2022 synergistic interactions or generating multiple functionalities by introducing well-defined mesoporous architectures, which is usually difficult to realize using conventional materials. As a consequence, along with a wide variety of prospects of the fullerene self-assembled nanostructures, they were carbonized to achieve metal-free carbons with highly ordered morphology, hierarchical porosity, and high surface area.…”

Nanoarchitectonics for Hierarchical Fullerene Nanomaterials

“…The selection of buildings blocks for hierarchical nanostructures is a challenging task and extremely important to obtain the desire materials for the specific application. In this regard, fullerenes (C 60 or C 70 ) have recently received significant interest due to their extended π-conjugation and applications in many advanced research fields such as biomedical, semiconductors, optics, electronics, and spintronics [ 131 , 132 , 133 ]. Additionally, fullerene readily undergoes self-assembly to form dimensionally-controlled nano or microstructures via the simple liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation method ( Figure 2 ) [ 134 , 135 ].…”
