Abstract
In the quest of improving the photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts, the combination of two and more semiconductors recently has garnered significant attention among scientists in the field. The doping of conductive metals is also an effective pathway to improve photocatalytic performance by avoiding electron/hole pair recombination and enhancing photon energy absorption. This work presented a design and fabrication of porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite using acid-base neutralization-induced self-assembly approach from monomeric porphyrin and g-C3N4/Ag material. g-C3N4/Ag material was synthesized by a green reductant of Cleistocalyx operculatus leaf extract. Electron scanning microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectrometer were utilized to analyse the properties of the prepared materials. The prepared porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite showed well integration of porphyrin nanostructures on the g-C3N4/Ag's surface, in which porphyrin nanofiber was of the diameter in nanoscales and the length of several micrometers, and Ag NPs had an average particle size of less than 20 nm. The photocatalytic behavior of the resultant nanocomposite was tested for the degradation of Rhodamine B dye, which exhibited a remarkable RhB photodegrading percentage. The possible mechanism for photocatalysis of the porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite toward Rhodamine B dye was also proposed and discussed.

Abstract
Metalloporphyrin-containing mesoporous materials, named VTPP@SBA, were prepared via a simple anchoring of vanadyl porphyrin (5,10,15,20-Tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine vanadium(IV) oxide) through a SBA-15-type mesoporous material. For comparison, vanadyl porphyrin was also impregnated on SiO2 (VTPP/SiO2). The characterization results of catalysts by XRD, FTIR, DR-UV-vis, and EPR confirm the incorporation of vanadyl porphyrin within the mesoporous SBA-15. These catalysts have also been studied using electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methods. Impedance measurements confirmed that supporting the porphyrin in silica improved the electrical conductivity of samples. In fact, when using mesoporous silica, current densities associated with oxidation/reduction processes appreciably increased, implying an enhancement in charge transfer processes and, therefore, in electrochemical performance. All samples presented n-type semiconductivity and provided an interesting photoelectrocatalytic response upon illumination, especially silica-supported porphyrins. This is the first time that V-porphyrin-derived materials have been tested for photoelectrochemical applications, showing good potential for this use.

Abstract
Synthesizing novel photocatalysts that can effectively harvest photon energy over a wide range of the solar spectrum for practical applications is vital. Porphyrin-derived nanostructures with properties similar to those of chlorophyll have emerged as promising candidates to meet this requirement. In this study, tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) nanofibers were formed on the surface of ZnO nanoparticles using a simple self-assembly approach. The obtained ZnO/TCPP nanofiber composites were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and ultraviolet-visible absorbance and reflectance measurements. The results demonstrated that the ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 37 nm were well integrated in the TCPP nanofiber matrix. The resultant composite showed photocatalytic activity of ZnO and TCPP nanofibers concomitantly, with band gap energies of 3.12 and 2.43 eV, respectively. The ZnO/TCPP photocatalyst exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance for RhB degradation with a removal percentage of 97% after 180 min of irradiation under simulated sunlight because of the synergetic activity of ZnO and TCPP nanofibers. The dominant active species participating in the photocatalytic reaction were •O2 - and OH•, resulting in enhanced charge separation by exciton-coupled charge-transfer processes between the hybrid materials.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is commonly observed in irregular bulk form. Herein, unique aggregation properties of an AIE-active complex into branched supramolecular wires are reported for the first time. Mono-cyclometalated Ir(III) complex shows in-plane J-aggregation at the air-water interface owing to the restriction of intramolecular vibration of bidentate phenylpyridinato and intramolecular rotations of monodentate triphenylphosphine ligands at air-water interface. As a consequence, a large enhancement of luminescence comparable to the solid state is obtained from the monolayers of supramolecular wires. This unique feature is utilized for the fabrication of light-emitting diodes with low threshold voltage using supramolecular wires as active layer. This study opens up the need of ordered assembly of AIE complexes to achieve optimal luminescence characteristics.

Abstract
Complexation between 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lysine) (PEG-b-PLL) was performed via electrostatic interaction. Two kinds of primary arrays of TPPS with different supramolecular chirality induced by PLL were obtained in the resultant complex by inverting the mixing procedure of the two components. These arrays could be displaced by poly(sodium-p-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) from the chiral PLL template through competitive electrostatic complexation, and then PSS formed a polyion complex micelle with PEG-b-PLL. The template-removed TPPS arrays preserved their induced chirality and served as primary subunits for the secondary aggregation of TPPS. The morphology of the secondary aggregates was strongly dependent upon the asymmetric primary supramolecular arrangement of TPPS. The rodlike nanostructure that was ∼200 nm in length was composed of the primary arrays that showed opposite exciton chirality between the J- and H-bands. In contrast, the micrometer-sized fibrils observed were composed of the arrays with the same exciton chirality at the J- and H-bands.

Abstract
A widely studied achiral porphyrin, which is highly soluble in aqueous solutions (TPPS4), is shown to self-assemble into helical nanotubes. These were imaged by electron cryo-microscopy and a state-of-the-art image analysis allows building a map at ∼5 Å resolution, one of the highest obtained so far for molecular materials. The authors were able to trace the apparent symmetry breaking to existing nuclei in the "as received samples", while carefully purified samples show that both handnesses occur in equal amounts.

Abstract
Synthesis of functional hybrid nanoscale objects has been a core focus of the rapidly progressing field of nanomaterials science. In particular, there has been significant interest in the integration of evolutionally optimized biological systems such as proteins, DNA, virus particles and cells with functional inorganic building blocks to construct mesoscopic architectures and nanostructured materials. However, in many cases the fragile nature of the biomolecules seriously constrains their potential applications. As a consequence, there is an on-going quest for the development of novel strategies to modulate the thermal and chemical stabilities, and performance of biomolecules under adverse conditions. This feature article highlights new methods of "inorganic molecular wrapping" of single or multiple protein molecules, individual double-stranded DNA helices, lipid bilayer vesicles and self-assembled organic dye superstructures using inorganic building blocks to produce bio-inorganic nanoconstructs with core-shell type structures. We show that spatial isolation of the functional biological nanostructures as "armour-plated" enzyme molecules or polynucleotide strands not only maintains their intact structure and biochemical properties, but also enables the fabrication of novel hybrid nanomaterials for potential applications in diverse areas of bionanotechnology.

Abstract
We report the biomacromolecular self-assembly of histidine acid phosphatase (HAP), an enzyme of significant biomedical and industrial importance, in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF(4)]). The spontaneous self-assembly of HAP enzyme in [BMIM][BF(4)] results in the formation of HAP nanocapsules. The HAP enzyme molecules were found to retain their enzymatic activity after the self-assembly process, which enabled us to utilize self-assembled HAP capsules as self-catalyzing templates for the synthesis of a range of hollow metal nanoparticles (Au, Ag, Pd, and Ni) without employing any additional reducing agent. The hollow metal nanospheres with HAP encapsulated within their cavity were found to retain enzymatic activity for at least up to four cycles, as demonstrated in the case of Au-coated HAP capsules as the model system.

Abstract
A conductance-controllable hybrid device that utilizes the photoinduced charge transfer behavior of a porphyrin in a field-effect transistor (FET) with a nanogap is proposed and analyzed. A conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure is modified to form a nanogap in which the porphyrin can be embedded. The conductance of an inversion channel is controlled by the negatively charged, optically activated porphyrin molecules. The proposed nanogap-formed MOSFET structure solves the conventional dilemma that a top-gate cannot be used for an organic-inorganic hybrid device because the top-gate blocks an entire area of a channel where organic material should be immobilized. The top-gate structure has much practicality compared with the back-gate structure because each device can be controlled individually. Furthermore, the device is highly compatible with the chip-based integrated system because the fabrication process follows the standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The charge transfer mechanisms between silicon and porphyrin are analyzed using devices with different doping polarities and geometrical parameters. The results show that the influence of the negative charge of the porphyrin in the device is reversed when opposite doping polarities are used. The device characteristics can be comprehensively evaluated using the energy band diagram analysis and simulation. The possible application of the proposed device for nonvolatile memory is demonstrated using the optical charging and electrical discharging behavior of the porphyrins.

Abstract
Most of the self-assembly studies have hitherto explored the aqueous media as fluid phase for self-assembly of amphiphilic biomacromolecules, wherein architectural modification of biomolecules is generally a prerequisite for self-assembly of modified biomolecules. We demonstrate for the first time that ionic liquids can act as nonaqueous designer solvents to self-assemble amphiphilic biomacromolecules without requiring their prior modification. To this end, we show that enzyme (phytase) molecules self-assembled in the presence of an appropriate ionic liquid, resulting in the formation of enzyme capsules. Phytase capsules synthesized using this approach were further used as templating nanoreactors for the synthesis of enzyme-containing hollow silica nanocontainers. In situ immobilized phytase enzyme in the silica nanocontainers, when subjected to enzyme-reusability application, establishes them as excellent reusable biocatalysts.

Abstract
Molecularly engineered superlattice hybrids consisting of periodic and alternating cores of porphyrin molecules separated by nanoscale silica walls were synthesized through a one-step organic-inorganic hierarchical self-assembly approach. The self-assembly process not only could lock both porphyrin and inorganic building blocks into ordered 3D nanostructure but also could allow for the molecular-level controllable organization of porphyrin molecules in the central regions of the silica pore channels, which leads to the formation of porphyrin core-silica wall superlattice hybrids with molecular-scale and mesoscale ordering. It was demonstrated that both the mesostructure and morphology of the hybrids can be finely tailored by turning the cooperative self-assembly process. It is significant that the hybrids show self-assembled optical properties consistent with the orientational arrangement of the porphyrins within periodic nanoscale silica channels. The methodology introduced herein demonstrates high versatility with respect to the self-assembly of optical active macrocycles into highly ordered superlattice hybrid architectures.

Abstract
Understanding how chemically derived processes control the construction and organization of matter across extended and multiple length scales is of growing interest in many areas of materials research. Here we review present equilibrium and non-equilibrium self-assembly approaches to the synthetic construction of discrete hybrid (inorganic-organic) nano-objects and higher-level nanostructured networks. We examine a range of synthetic modalities under equilibrium conditions that give rise to integrative self-assembly (supramolecular wrapping, nanoscale incarceration and nanostructure templating) or higher-order self-assembly (programmed/directed aggregation). We contrast these strategies with processes of transformative self-assembly that use self-organizing media, reaction-diffusion systems and coupled mesophases to produce higher-level hybrid structures under non-equilibrium conditions. Key elements of the constructional codes associated with these processes are identified with regard to existing theoretical knowledge, and presented as a heuristic guideline for the rational design of hybrid nano-objects and nanomaterials.

Abstract
Mechanical mismatch and the lack of interactions between implants and the natural tissue environment are the major drawbacks in bone tissue engineering. Biomaterials mimicking the self-assembly process and the composition of the bone matrix should provide new route for fabricating biomaterials possessing novel osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties for bone repair. In the present study, we employ bio-inspired strategies to design de novo self-assembled chimeric protein hydrogels comprising leucine zipper motifs flanked by dentin matrix protein 1 domain, which was characterized as a mineralization nucleator. Results showed that this chimeric protein could function as a hydroxyapatite nucleator in pseudo-physiological buffer with the formation of highly oriented apatites similar to biogenic bone mineral. It could also function as an inductive substrate for osteoblast adhesion, promote cell surface integrin presentation and clustering, and modulate the formation of focal contacts. Such biomimetic "bottom-up" construction with dual osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties should open new avenues for bone tissue engineering.Mechanical mismatch and the lack of interactions between implants and the natural tissue environment are the major drawbacks in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nature presents exquisite examples of templating hard, functional inorganic materials on soft, self-assembled organic substrates. An ability to mimic and control similar processes in the laboratory would increase our understanding of fundamental science, and may lead to potential applications in the broad arena of bionanotechnology. Here we describe how self-assembled, alpha-helix-based peptide fibers of de novo design can promote and direct the deposition of silica from silicic acid solutions. The peptide substrate can be removed readily through proteolysis, or other facile means to render silica nanotubes. Furthermore, the resulting silica structures, which span the nanometer to micrometer range, can themselves be used to template the deposition of the cationic polyelectrolyte, poly-(diallyldimethylammonium chloride). Finally, the peptide-based substrates can be engineered prior to silicification to alter the morphology and mechanical properties of the resulting hybrid and tubular materials.

Abstract
We demonstrate a soft chemical approach for the synthesis of dimensionally dictated functionalized mesostructures by continuous tuning of the surface molecular density of a photoreceptable molecule (E)-1-(3-chloro-4-(octyloxy)phenyl)-2-phenyldiazene (compound 1) with Rhodamine B (Rh B). Highly oriented cylindrical microtubules with a hollow center running the entire distance of the assembly in a parallel-packed configuration were formed at the air-water interface. The surface tension driven self-organized structures were evidenced from electronic absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy in conjunction with optical, polarizing, and epifluorescence microscopy and microspectroscopy; the structural building blocks were identified to be mixed H-aggregates from compound 1 and Rh B of 1:1 stoichiometry, corroborated by a blue shift in the characteristic absorption features. The appearance of a crossover point (apparent isosbestic point) instead of a sharp defined isosbestic point in the absorption spectra signified the formation of mixed H-aggregates from trans-azobenzenes in ion-dipole interaction with the charged Rh B. Increasing the temperature induced an end-to-end self-assembly of the hollow tubules, and photoisomerization of compound 1 did not serve as a trigger to induce self-organization. A nonfluorescent planar crystalline morphology with irregular topology was observed for its isomer (E)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-(octyloxy)phenyl) diazene (compound 2).
