Recently we described the design of a hybrid microdevice for micro(nano)electrophoresis and electrochromatography, discussed its advantages and disadvantages compared to conventional microdevices and presented a few applications with low-molecular-weight samples. In this paper, we demonstrate the broad application range of this device using UV-based analyses of (i) peptides by free-zone electrophoresis and electrophoresis in a recently introduced gel (polyacrylamide cross-linked with allyl-beta-cyclodextrin), (ii) proteins by electrophoretic molecular-sieving in a polymer solution supplemented with SDS, (iii) DNA fragments by electrophoresis in the above gel, (iv) virus particles in this gel, as well as in free buffer and (v) bacteria in free buffer. To illustrate the advantages of the hybrid microdevice we can mention that electrophoresis of proteins in a polymer-containing buffer, supplemented with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), in a 4.30 (2.75) cm long channel gave a resolution similar to that in conventional capillary electrophoresis in a 23.5 (18.6) cm long capillary and analysis times which were 15-fold shorter.

Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) are gradually emerging as a strong contender for the next wearable and portable micro-energy storage devices. Low energy density and poor stability are significant challenges to their widespread application. Based on this, a novel asymmetric all-solid-state Micro-pseudocapacitors (AMPCs) is designed elaborately, in which all the active materials are based on conducting two-dimensional (2D) materials with thin lamellar thickness and active covalent groups on the surface.

One-dimensional micro-supercapacitors (1D micro-SCs) have been regarded as an efficient energy storage system to fulfill the ever-growing need for miniaturized electronics. Designing multi-dimensional nanoarchitectures on fibrous microelectrodes is an effective strategy to build a high-performance 1D micro-SC. In this work, Ni,S-doped Cu was firstly prepared on Cu wire as a micro-sized 1D current collector through Cu electrodeposition using a H bubble template and then co-doped with nickel and sulfur.

The downsizing of microscale energy storage devices plays a crucial role in powering modern emerging devices. Therefore, the scientific focus on developing high-performance microdevices, balancing energy density and power density, becomes essential. In this context, we explore an advanced Microplotter technique to fabricate hybrid planar Zn-ion microcapacitors (ZIMCs) that exhibit dual charge storage characteristics, with an electrical double layer capacitor type activated carbon anode and a battery type VO (B) cathode, aiming to achieve energy density surpassing supercapacitors and power density exceeding batteries.

Fiber-integrated micro/nanostructures play a crucial role in modern industry, mainly owing to their compact size, high sensitivity, and resistance to electromagnetic interference. However, the three-dimensional manufacturing of fiber-tip functional structures beyond organic polymers remains challenging. It is essential to construct fiber-integrated inorganic silica with designed functional nanostructures for microsystem applications.

Microfluidic analytical tools play an important role in miniaturizing targeted proteomic assays for improved detection sensitivity, throughput, and automation. Microfluidic isoelectric focusing (IEF) can resolve proteoforms in lysate from low-to-single cell numbers. However, IEF assays often use carrier ampholytes (CAs) to establish a pH gradient for protein separation, presenting limitations like pH instability in the form of cathodic drift (migration of focused proteins toward the cathode).
