Synthesis of mesoporous functional hematite nanofibrous photoanodes by electrospinning

Iron(III) oxide (hematite, Fe₂O₃) nanofibers, as visible light‐induced photoanode for water oxidation reaction of a water splitting process, were fabricated through electrospinning method followed by calcination treatment. The prepared samples were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, and three‐electrode galvanostat/potentiostat for evaluating their photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties. The diameter of the as‐spun fibers is about 300 nm, and calcinated fibers have diameter less than 110 nm with mesoporous structure. Optimized multilayered electrospun α‐Fe₂O₃ nanostructure mats showed photocurrent density of 0.53 mA/cm² under dark and visible illumination conditions at voltage 1.23 V and constant intensity (900 mW/cm²). This photovoltaic performance of nanostructure mats makes it suitable choice for using in the PEC water splitting application as an efficient photoanode. This method, if combined with appropriate flexible conductive substrate, has the potential for producing flexible hematite solar fuel generators. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly (acrylonitrile‐co‐acrylic acid) as precursor of carbon nanofibers

Synthesis of a co‐polymer of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) producing a carbon nanofiber out of PAN and co‐polymer of PAN and comparison between these products were examined. Free‐radical solution copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) with acrylic acid (AA) was studied. In this perspective, AA, and AN were used as a precursor for polymerization reactions; then copolymers were synthesized by using ammonium persulfate (APS) as an oxidant and carried in water/dimethylformamide (DMF) mixture. These polymers were used to obtain corresponding electrospun nanofibers. Synthesized P(AN‐co‐AA) was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy‐attenuated total reflection (FTIR‐ATR) spectroscopy, and characteristic peaks for AN unit, AA were achieved. Thermal behavior was examined by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA), and results indicated that addition of monomers to AN unit reduced the Tg value of homopolymer PAN compared to P(AN‐co‐AA), which provides improvement to the cyclization and the formation of a thermally stable aromatic ladder polymer chain formation. In order to prevent the shrinkage and maintain the molecular orientation on nanofiber webs during stabilization, tension was applied to the samples, and thermal oxidation varies at 200–300°C for different duration of times. Surface morphology of the fibers was observed with scanning electron microscope (SEM), and average nanofiber diameter was found 550 nm, and after carbonization it was reduced to 320 nm for homopolymer PAN, and for poly(AN‐co‐AA) average nanofiber diameter was found as 220 nm and reduced to 130 nm, respectively.

Bruch’s-Mimetic Nanofibrous Membranes Functionalized with the Integrin-Binding Peptides as a Promising Approach for Human Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cell Transplantation

Background: This study aimed to develop an ultrathin nanofibrous membrane able to, firstly, mimic the natural fibrous architecture of human Bruch’s membrane (BM) and, secondly, promote survival of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells after surface functionalization of fibrous membranes. Methods: Integrin-binding peptides (IBPs) that specifically interact with appropriate adhesion receptors on RPEs were immobilized on Bruch’s-mimetic membranes to promote coverage of RPEs. Surface morphologies, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy spectra, contact angle analysis, Alamar Blue assay, live/dead assay, immunofluorescence staining, and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the outcome. Results: Results showed that coated membranes maintained the original morphology of nanofibers. After coating with IBPs, the water contact angle of the membrane surfaces varied from 92.38 ± 0.67 degrees to 20.16 ± 0.81 degrees. RPE cells seeded on IBP-coated membranes showed the highest viability at all time points (Day 1, p < 0.05; Day 3, p < 0.01; Days 7 and 14, p < 0.001). The proliferation rate of RPE cells on uncoated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) membranes was significantly lower than that of IBP-coated membranes (p < 0.001). SEM images showed a well-organized hexa/polygonal monolayer of RPE cells on IBP-coated membranes. RPE cells proliferated rapidly, contacted, and became confluent. RPE cells formed a tight adhesion with nanofibers under high-magnification SEM. Our findings confirmed that the IBP-coated PCL membrane improved the attachment, proliferation, and viability of RPE cells. In addition, in this study, we used serum-free culture for RPE cells and short IBPs without immunogenicity to prevent graft rejection and immunogenicity during transplantation. Conclusions: These results indicated that the biomimic BM-IBP-RPE nanofibrous graft might be a new, practicable approach to increase the success rate of RPE cell transplantation.
