Nano-graphene oxide for cellular imaging and drug delivery

Xiaoming Sun, Zhuang Liu, Kevin Welsher et al. · 8 Aug 2008

Two-dimensional graphene offers interesting electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties that are currently being explored for advanced electronics, membranes, and composites. Here we synthesize and explore the biological applications of nano-graphene oxide (NGO), i.e., single-layer graphene oxide sheets down to a few nanometers in lateral width. We develop functionalization chemistry in order to impart solubility and…

The photoluminescence mechanism in carbon dots (graphene quantum dots, carbon nanodots, and polymer dots): current state and future perspective

Shoujun Zhu, Yubin Song, Xiaohuan Zhao et al. · 1 Feb 2015

At present, the actual mechanism of the photoluminescence (PL) of fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) is still an open debate among researchers. Because of the variety of CDs, it is highly important to summarize the PL mechanism for these kinds of carbon materials; doing so can guide the development of effective synthesis routes and novel applications.…

Carbon nanotubes in biology and medicine: In vitro and in vivo detection, imaging and drug delivery

Zhuang Liu, Scott M. Tabakman, Kevin Welsher et al. · 1 Feb 2009

Carbon nanotubes exhibit many unique intrinsic physical and chemical properties and have been intensively explored for biological and biomedical applications in the past few years. In this comprehensive review, we summarize the main results from our and other groups in this field and clarify that surface functionalization is critical to the behavior of carbon nanotubes…

A mini review of NiFe-based materials as highly active oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts

Ming Gong, Hongjie Dai · 2 Nov 2014

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrolysis, as an important reaction involved in water splitting and rechargeable metal-air batteries, has attracted increasing attention for clean energy generation and efficient energy storage. Nickel/iron (NiFe)-based compounds have been known as active OER catalysts since the last century, and renewed interest has been witnessed in recent years on developing advanced…

One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures: Solution growth and functional properties

Sheng Xu, Zhong Lin Wang · 15 Aug 2011

One-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanostructures have been studied intensively and extensively over the last decade not only for their remarkable chemical and physical properties, but also for their current and future diverse technological applications. This article gives a comprehensive overview of the progress that has been made within the context of 1D ZnO nanostructures synthesized via…

Nano Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Nano Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Nano Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Nano Research use?
Nano Research uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Nano Research 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Nano Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Nano Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Nano Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Nano Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Nano Research?
Nano Research is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Nano Research template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Nano Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Nano Research template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Nano Research template cost?
You can start writing in the Nano Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Nano Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
