Selection of peptides with semiconductor binding specificity for directed nanocrystal assembly

Virus-Enabled Synthesis and Assembly of Nanowires for Lithium Ion Battery Electrodes

The selection and assembly of materials are central issues in the development of smaller, more flexible batteries. Cobalt oxide has shown excellent electrochemical cycling prope...

Fabricating Genetically Engineered High-Power Lithium-Ion Batteries Using Multiple Virus Genes

Viral Battery In developing materials for batteries, there is a trade-off between charge capacity, conductivity, and chemical stability. Nanostructured materials improve the con...

Virus-Based Toolkit for the Directed Synthesis of Magnetic and Semiconducting Nanowires

We report a virus-based scaffold for the synthesis of single-crystal ZnS, CdS, and freestanding chemically ordered CoPt and FePt nanowires, with the means of modifying substrate...
