Single-crystalline dandelion-like β-MnO(2) three-dimensional microstructures have been successfully prepared for the first time via a simple hydrothermal process based on the direct reaction between Mn(NO(3))(2) and H(2)O(2). H(2)O(2) plays an important role in the formation of the dandelion-like morphology. The formation mechanism of the dandelion-like nanostructures was investigated and discussed based on the experimental results. Magnetic measurements show that the Néel temperature of the as-obtained product is 100 K, which is about 6 K higher than that of the corresponding bulk β-MnO(2) crystals.

Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) embedded dry powder for inhalation (AeDPI) shows higher drug loading and delivery dose for directly treating various lung infections. Inspired by the dandelion, we propose a novel kind of AeDPI microparticle structure fabricated by spray freeze drying technology, which would potentially enhance the alveoli deposition efficiency. When inhaling, such microparticles are expected to be easily broken-up into fragments containing API that acts as 'seed' and could be delivered to alveoli aided by the low density 'pappus' composed of excipient.

Formaldehyde is known to harm the respiratory, nervous, and digestive systems of people. In this paper, a novel dandelion-like electrocatalyst with core-shell heterostructure arrays were fast self-assembled prepared in situ using copper foam (CF) as support substrate and 2,3,6,7,10,11 hexahydroxy-triphenyl (HHTP) as ligand (Cu(OH)@Cu(HHTP)/CF) by a simple two-step hydrothermal reaction. The 1D Cu(OH) nanorods "core" and the 2D π-conjugated conducting metal-organic frameworks (Cu(HHTP)cMOF) "shell" with remote delocalized electrons give the dandelion-like heterogeneous catalysts excellent electrochemical activity such as a large specific surface area, high conductivity and a fast electron transfer rate.

Novel 2D material-based supercapacitors are promising candidates for energy applications due to their distinctive physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties. In this study, a dandelion-like structure material comprised of SmO, CoO, and 2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on nickel foam (NF) was synthesised using a hydrothermal method followed by subsequent annealing treatment. This dandelion composite grows further through the tremella-like structure of SmO and CoO, which facilitates the diffusion of ions and prevents structural collapse during charging and discharging.

Highly efficient resource recycling and comprehensive utilization play a crucial role in achieving the goal of reducing resource wasting, environmental protection, and achieving goal of sustainable development. In this work, the two kinds waste resources of agricultural rice husk and metal ions (Co, Ni, and Mn) from spent lithium-ion batteries have been skillfully utilized to synthesize novel Fenton-like catalysts. Desiliconized rice husk carbon (DRHC) with rich pore structure and large specific surface area from rice husk has been prepared and used as scalable carrier, and dandelion-like nanoparticles cluster could be grown in situ on the surface of the carrier by using metal ions contained waste water.

γ-MnO nanomaterials play an essential role in the development of advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices with versatile industrial applications. Herein, novel dandelion-like hollow microspheres of γ-MnO mesocrystals have been fabricated for the first time by a one-pot biomineralization route. Recombinant collagen with unique rod-like structure has been demonstrated as a robust template to tune the morphologies of γ-MnO mesocrystals, and a very low concentration of collagen can alter the nanostructures of γ-MnO from nanorods to microspheres.
