Surface charge on biomaterials is emerging as a crucial determinant of regulating cells responses impacting cells signaling in tissue treatment. The dynamic cell - material interaction is a complex process where surface properties in biomaterials are one of the most influencing parameters considering especially geometry, stiffness and surface charge. Therefore, a lot of effort in tissue engineering is focused on surface modifications with roughness and various coatings to control the surface potential. Importantly, charges allocated at the surface determine cells adhesion and later tissue development. Therefore, in this review, we discuss the influence of surface potential on cell attachment, mobility, proliferation, and differentiation on metals, polymer ceramics and their composites, including piezoelectric materials. The importance of surface charge is discussed in great details also for protein adsorption and wetting on modified and unmodified surfaces. We compare all characterization tools and theoretical descriptions for validation of surface potential on biomaterials. Many mechanisms governing cells responses are correlated especially surface charge topology and chemical composition. This review is a unique summary of cell culture study used to justify the effect of surface charge on cell behavior for healthcare materials.

The side reactions accompanying the charging and discharging process, as well as the difficulty in decomposing the discharge product lithium peroxide, have been important issues in the research field of lithium-oxygen batteries for a long time. Here, single atom Ta supported by CoO hollow sphere was designed and synthesized as a cathode catalyst. The single atom Ta forms an electron transport channel through the Ta-O-Co structure to stabilize octahedral Co sites, forming strong adsorption with reaction intermediates and ultimately forming a film-like lithium peroxide that is highly dispersed.

Many diseases and pests are fond of the backs of leaves, making wraparound deposition essential for enhancing agrochemical utilization and minimizing environmental hazards. We present a superhydrophobic surface decorated with fluorinated-SiO nanoparticles on the adaxial (front) side, improving sprayed droplet wraparound behaviors and achieving a 10-fold increase in abaxial (backside) deposition without using an electrostatic sprayer. Solid-liquid contact electrification boosts the positive charge-to-mass ratio of rebound spraying from 17 to 454 nC g, with the abaxial surface acquiring opposite electric charges at kilovolt-level voltages.

A multiscale quantum mechanical (QM)/classical approach is presented that is able to model the optical properties of complex nanostructures composed of a molecular system adsorbed on metal nanoparticles. The latter is described by a combined atomistic-continuum model, where the core is described using the implicit boundary element method (BEM) and the surface retains a fully atomistic picture and is treated employing the frequency-dependent fluctuating charge and fluctuating dipole (ωFQFμ) approach. The integrated QM/ωFQFμ-BEM model is numerically compared with state-of-the-art fully atomistic approaches, and the quality of the continuum/core partition is evaluated.

We introduce the alchemical harmonic approximation (AHA) of the absolute electronic energy for charge-neutral iso-electronic diatomics at fixed interatomic distance d0. To account for variations in distance, we combine AHA with this ansatz for the electronic binding potential, E(d)=(Eu-Es)Ec-EsEu-Esd/d0+Es, where Eu, Ec, Es correspond to the energies of the united atom, calibration at d0, and the sum of infinitely separated atoms, respectively. Our model covers the two-dimensional electronic potential energy surface spanned by distances of 0.

During the blood coagulation cascade, coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) is activated by thrombin to form activated factor VIII (FVIIIa). FVIIIa associates with platelet surfaces at the site of vascular damage to form an intrinsic tenase complex with activated factor IX. A working model for FVIII membrane binding involves the association of positively charged FVIII residues with negatively charged lipid headgroups and the burial of hydrophobic residues into the membrane interior.
