Chitosan-GSNO nanoparticles: a positive modulator of drought stress tolerance in soybean.

Background: Chitosan biopolymer is an emerging non-toxic and biodegradable plant elicitor or bio-stimulant. Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) have been used for the enhancement of plant growth and development. On the other hand, NO is an important signaling molecule that regulates several aspects of plant physiology under normal and stress conditions.

Metal-Amino Acid Nanofibers based Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Self-Powered Thioacetamide Sensor.

The biomolecules offer different metal-binding sites to form a coordination polymer with structural diversity. The coordination directed one-dimensional metal-biomolecule nanofibers (Cu-Asp NFs) designed using copper as metal ion and aspartate as a ligand for triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is reported here. The different characterization techniques reveal the detailed characteristics of the synthesized Cu-Asp NFs.

Biodegradable metal-organic framework MIL-88A for triboelectric nanogenerator.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are multifunctional materials with a unique advantage of high porosity and surface area and size tunability and can be modified without altering the topology. The interesting and desirable properties of MOFs led to their exploration for the triboelectric nanogenerator. Herein, a biodegradable MOF MIL-88A for TENG (MIL-TENG) is reported.
