Adaptive nanowire-nanotube bioelectronic system for on-demand bioelectrocatalytic transformations

摘要

An integrated nanobioelectronic system, exploiting the distinct properties of nanowires and carbon-nanotubes, has been designed for triggering reversibly and on-demand bioelectrocatalytic transformations of alcohols.rnThe emergence of nanotechnology has opened new horizons for the application of nanomaterials. Even though there has been tremendous progress in the development of various nanomaterials, little attention has been given to functional nanosystems, integrating several nanomaterials. Such integrated systems should lead to new and unique operations, taking advantage of the distinct properties of their individual nanomaterial components.
