The process leads to uniform doping of the crystalline Si (c-Si) core and amorphous Si (a-Si) shell, with the increase in dopant content changing the SiNW morphology from “grass-like” to “solid tube-like.” Optimal phosphorus concentrations enhance the cyclic stability and rate-capability, leading to ≈94% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1C and exhibit 53% of the C/5 capacity at 5C. As a supercapacitor electrode, an areal capacitance of ≈847 mF cm<sup>−</sup><sup>2</sup> at 5 mV s<sup>−1</sup> is obtained, which is ≈6.5 times higher than their undoped counterpart. An areal energy density of 0.26 mWh cm<sup>−2</sup> at a power density of 3.17 mW cm<sup>−2</sup> is obtained with a symmetric supercapacitor, which is superior to most Si-based supercapacitors reported in the literature.

Highly stable and robust, fullerene-based synthetic enzyme mimics are employed, and the response of nematic LC droplets to their hydrolysis activity is investigated. This involves characterizing the structures of the LC droplets in the aqueous phase that facilitate enzymatic reactions, monitoring the responses of LC droplets to these interactions to sense enzymatic activity. Polarized light microscopy is employed to image the LC droplets, spectrophotometry to measure kinetics, and interfacial tension measurements for structural characterization of LC interfaces. These findings revealed an instantaneous response of the LC droplets that originate from the enzyme mimic-substrate interactions in the bulk phase, and the presence of the LC droplets does not noticeably influence the function and interactions of the enzyme mimics.
