“…This method can be used to prepare porous SiC ceramics with a large surface area and numerous ordered internal pores. Porous SiC ceramics have the excellent properties of both porous ceramics and SiC such as resistance to high temperatures and thermal shock, wear resistance, and chemical stability [57]; therefore, they have been extensively used in chemical industries, energy, environmental protection, biomedicine, metallurgy, and military industries [58][59][60][61][62]. Porous SiC ceramics prepared via the nanocasting method have great advantages as catalyst carriers.…”

In modern industrial production, heterogeneous catalysts play an important role. A catalyst carrier, as a constituent of heterogeneous catalysts, is employed for supporting and loading active components. The catalyst carrier has a considerable impact on the overall acting performance of the catalysts in actual production. Therefore, a catalyst carrier should have some necessary properties such as a high specific surface area, excellent mechanical strength and wear resistance, and better thermal stability. Among the candidate materials, silicon carbide (SiC) has excellent physical and chemical properties due to its special crystal structure; these properties include outstanding thermal conductivity and remarkable mechanical strength and chemical stability. Therefore, SiC materials with a high specific surface area basically meet the requirements of catalyst carriers. Accordingly, SiC has broad application prospects in the field of catalysis and is an ideal material for preparing catalyst carriers. In the present study, we reviewed the preparation methods and the variation in the raw materials used for preparing SiC-based catalyst carriers with high specific surface areas, in particular the research progress on the application of SiC-based catalyst carriers in the field of energy-conversion in recent years. The in-depth analysis indicated that the construction of SiC with a special structure, large-scale synthesis of SiC by utilizing waste materials, low-temperature synthesis of SiC, and exploring the interaction between SiC supports and active phases are the key strategies for future industrial development; these will have far-reaching significance in enhancing catalytic efficiency, reutilization of resources, ecological environmental protection, energy savings, and reductions in energy consumption.

“…For the construction of bio-matching scaffolds, devices, and vehicles for payload deliveries, tissue engineering, therapeutics, and diagnostics, as well as fill-in materials at biosites for various biomimetic applications, biocompatible, attuned, and congruent stimuli-responsive polymers of synthetic and plant- and animal-based origins are essential raw materials [ 559 ]. Biomedical materials, which are used in medical applications to improve patient care, such as prosthetic implants, tissue regeneration and repair, drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical or biological therapy products, and sensitive diagnostic technologies, have drawn more attention in recent years [ 560 ]. Because of their distinctive qualities, materials at the nanoscale are very helpful in biomedical diagnostic applications.…”

“…Highly uniform SiNW arrays with 25 nm in height and 30 nm in width are formed by the SIT process, which are suitable to integrate more Si NW sensors or achieve smaller size of the devices. Significantly, biocompatible hafnium oxide (HfO 2 ) is here used as a dielectric layer to contact mesenchymal stem cells due to its chemical stability, high dielectric constant, hydrophilicity, and isoelectric properties, thereby increasing the detection sensitivity of silicon-based multinanowires [30,31]. The fabricated SiNW FET biosensors by the SIT process have been successfully utilized to the real-time monitoring cellular Ca 2+ activities of mesenchymal stem cells with the advantages of low cost, fast responds and high sensitivities.…”

Over the last two decades, silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (SiNW-FETs) with prominent merits of high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent biocompatibility and mature fabrication with standard silicon technology, have been widely studied as ultrahigh sensitive biosensors for the detection of target biomolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, cells and viruses so on. Herein we present a comprehensive review of the fundamental aspects of SiNW-FET biosensors, involving the working principle and the device fabrication, surface functionalization, and system integration with fluid exchange and electrical detection. Futhermore, we emphatically discuss the electrical detection of cardiac-specific biomarkers related to acute myocardial infarction disease. SiNW-FET biosensors are being increasingly exploited as promising diagnostic devices, which provide high sensitivity, high integration density, high speed sampling, strong specificity, and real-time and label-free detection for simple and cheap clinical testing.
