“…The C 1s spectrum is divided into four characteristic peaks: CÀ C, CÀ O, C=O and O=CÀ O, and their binding energies are corresponded to 284.8 eV, 285.8 eV, 288.3 eV and 290.7 eV, respectively. [34] In the process of heat treatment, polymer PVP is carbonized to form carbon material matrix. The characteristic peak at 103.3 eV in the Si 2p spectrum is indexed to Si 4 + (SiO 2 ).…”

The development of flexible lithium‐ion batteries (FLIBs) is restrained by traditional rigidity anodes. Carbon nanofiber (CNF) is a promising anode material owing to its high specific surface and superior ion transportation capability. However, the low amount of active material loaded on the CNFs and the poor stability during long cycling restrain their applications. Herein, a SiO2@carbon sphere/SiO2−CNF self‐standing anode was prepared via alternate electrospraying‐electrospinning. The SiO2 content of the anode was increased through the electrospraying SiO2@carbon spheres layers, and the electrospun SiO2−CNFs as robust layers enhanced the stability of the anode. The self‐standing anode exhibited 633 mA h g−1 in the initial cycle and maintained a 70% Coulomb efficiency for 1000 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g−1, which could be applied in FLIB and other electrochemical storage devices.

“…Our initial focus was on the development of organosilica-protein hydrogels for drug delivery. [14][15][16] During certain stages of this work, we made attempts to remove the organosilica structure from the freeze-dried protein hydrogel by immersing the gel bodies in a combination of DMSO and acetone. Surprisingly, this led to colour transformation, changing the white gel into a brown gel.…”

Regenerative medicine is a highly regarded multidisciplinary field that aims to transform the future of clinical medicine through curative strategies rather than palliative therapies. As an emerging field, the development of regenerative medicine cannot be achieved without multifunctional biomaterials. Among the various bioscaffold materials, hydrogels are one of the materials of interest in bioengineering and medical research because of their similarity to the natural extracellular matrix and good biocompatibility. However, conventional hydrogels have simple internal structures and single cross‐linking modes, which require improvement in a single function and structural stability. Introducing multifunctional nanomaterials into 3D hydrogel networks physically or chemically avoids their disadvantages. Nanomaterials (NMs) are materials in the size range of 1–100 nm with distinct physical and chemical properties that differ from that of the macroscopic size and enable hydrogels to exhibit multifunctionality. Although regenerative medicine and hydrogels have been well researched in their respective fields, the connection between nanocomposite hydrogels (NCHs) and regenerative medicine has not been elaborated. Therefore, this review briefly describes the preparation and design requirements of NCHs and discusses their applications and challenges in regenerative medicine, hoping to clarify the relationship between the two.
