3D Metal, Metal Oxides, And Semiconductor Nanoscale Frameworks Through Templating Of DNA-Programmable Lattice Scaffolds

Abstract

A composite, comprising: a three-dimensional (3D) silicate lattice, the silicate lattice comprising a first porous motif, the first porous motif optionally being characterized as polyhedral, the first porous motif optionally defining a pore size of from about 5 to about 100 nm; and a first inorganic layer superposed over the silicate lattice, the first inorganic layer optionally coupled to the silicate lattice. A device, the device comprising a composite according to the present disclosure. A method, comprising: forming a silicate layer superposed on a 3D nucleic acid lattice, the nucleic acid lattice comprising a first porous motif, the first porous motif optionally being characterized as polyhedral, the first porous motif optionally defining a pore size of from about 5 to about 100 nm; and forming a first inorganic layer superposed over the silicate layer, the first inorganic layer optionally coupled to the silicate layer.
