Porous CNT@Li4Ti5O12 core–sheath coaxial nanocables were designed using a sol–gel method combined with a following low temperature reflux process and a short post-annealing in the presence of bamboo-like polymer nanotubes acting as a template and a carbon source. As anodes for lithium ion batteries, coaxial nanocables exhibit a high reversible capacity of 322.5 mA h g−1 at 200 mA g−1 after 200 cycles. They also have excellent rate capability and superior long-term cycling stability at high current density, which could attain a high discharge capacity of 198.7 mA h g−1 at 2000 mA g−1 for up to 2000 cycles. Compared with the Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles, the enhanced electrochemical performance of the CNT@Li4Ti5O12 nanocomposites benefits from the shortened Li+ diffusion distance, large contact surface area, high conductivity, and good structure stability of the coaxial nanocables, which simultaneously solves the major problems on the loss of electrical contact and the aggregation of particles for Li4Ti5O12 anodes. The material with a nanocable structure is a potential candidate for developing advanced electrochemical energy storage systems with high power and long life.

A multi-functional polymer–carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocable with a hierarchical structure is fabricated by grafting poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) from the CNT surface via activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization. Multiple CNTs are arranged in parallel in the fabricated nanocable and exhibit strong binding force with sheathing PGMA. In situ mechanical and electrical tests conducted on an individual nanocable reveal its high flexibility and excellent surface insulation, with an electrical resistance of approximately 1 GΩ. On increasing the voltage to the nanocable's electrical breakdown point, nanoscale electrical trees are observed. Such degradation behavior is discussed in the wider context of breakdown mechanisms in polymer based CNTs.

Providing high performance electrical nano-interconnects for micro-nano electronics that are robust in harsh environments is highly demanded. Today, electrical nano-interconnects based on metallic nanowires, e.g. Ag and Cu, are limited by their positive physicochemical reactivity and ductility under large strain (i.e. irreversible dislocations and local necking-down elongation) at high temperatures or in strong oxidizing and acidic environments. Herein, to overcome these limitations, high-quality millimetre-sized soft manganese-based silicide (Mn 5 Si 3 @SiO 2 ) nanowire nanocables are designed via a glassy Si–Mn–O matrix assisted growth. The proposed nanocables exhibit good electrical performance (resistivity of 1.28 to 3.84×10 -6 Ωm and maximum current density 1.22 to 3.54×10 7 A cm −2 ) at temperatures higher than 317°C in air atmosphere, strongly acidic (HCl, PH=1.0) and oxidizing (H 2 O 2 , 10%) ambient, and under complex electric field. The proposed Mn 5 Si 3 @SiO 2 nanocables, which withstand a strain of 16.7% free of failure, could be exploited for diverse applications in flexible electronics and complex wiring configurations.

The large bandgap of ZnO limits its application in photovoltaic devices , thus the semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), such as CdSe, is utilized to improve light-harvesting efficiency of solar cells. The CdSe@ZnO flower-rod core–shell nanocable arrays (CSZFRs) are prepared with a simple ion exchange method from aqueous solutions. The optical absorptions of the nanocable arrays can be controllably tuned to cover almost the entire visible spectrum (>750 nm) via quantum dots (QDs) sensitized attributed to the smaller band gap of CdSe. Moreover, a typical type II band alignment enhance the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, and reduce the electron–hole recombination within CSZFRs, demonstrated by the photoluminescence (PL) quenching after the formation of CSZFR hybrid structures. In addition, the CdSe-sensitized ZnO nanostructures demonstrate broad external quantum efficiency (EQE) in the spectrum from 300 to 740 nm. Therefore, the CSZFRs nanocable heterostruture exhibits a photovoltaic performance with a higher open-circuit photovoltage (−0.93 V Ag/AgCl ) and short-circuit photocurrent (1.00 mA cm −2 ).

The mass integration of electrochemically active materials on nanosized conductive fillers is a promising strategy to achieve an ideal electrode structure for energy storage devices. In this research, a one-dimensional CNT@NiCo2O4 nanosheet core–shell structural nanocable was constructed by a facile chemical co-deposition route combined with post-calcination in air. The subsequent thermal treatment led to the transformation of the hydroxide nanosheet precursor to NiCo2O4 nanosheets, during which process the overall morphology and structure were well retained. By selecting CNTs as conductive support for ultra-thin NiCo2O4 nanosheets, a high-performance electrode for supercapacitors was obtained. Notably, the as-prepared CNT@NiCo2O4 nanocables have a high capacitance of 1038 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of the product was almost 100% retained after 1000 cycles, which indicates excellent structural and cycling stability. More importantly, a relatively high mass loading of active materials on CNTs was also achieved, making the practical application of such electrode materials possible. Consequently, this CNT@NiCo2O4 nanocable is a promising electrode for high-performance supercapacitors.

Here, we report a simple one-step procedure to fabricate coaxial Te@poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanocables via a self-assembly redox polymerization between 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer and the oxidant of sodium tellurite without the assistance of any templates and surfactants. The as-synthesized Te@PEDOT coaxial nanocables have diameters of center cores in the range of 5–10 nm, and the size of the outer shell from several nanometers to 15 nm. More interestingly, the as-prepared Te@PEDOT nanocables can be converted to Pd@PEDOT nanocables via a galvanic replacement reaction. The center core of the Pd nanowire exhibits a high crystallinity. The application of the synthesized Pd@PEDOT nanocables as peroxidase-like catalysts for the colorimetric detection of H2O2 is reported. The synergistic effect between the Pd nanowire and electrically conducting PEDOT enhances the catalytic activity toward the oxidation of the peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of H2O2. A detection limit toward H2O2 is as low as 4.83 μM, and a linear range from 10 to 100 μM has been achieved. This work offers a potential versatile route for the fabrication of cable-like nanocomposites with conducting polymers and other active components, which display great promise in applications such as catalysis, nanoelectronic devices, and energy storage and conversion.

It was reported that Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 6 (PCSK6) can promote the progression of rheumatoid arthritis to a higher aggressive status. In this work, a novel visible light induced photoelectrochemical (PEC) platform was designed to detect PCSK6 gene. ZnO@CdTe nanocable arrays/carboxylated g-C 3 N 4 used as the PEC signal generator . Hexagonal ZnO nanorods grew on ITO electrode firstly. CdTe were then electrodeposited on the ZnO nanorods surface to enhance the photogenerated h + /e − separation efficiency. Carboxylated g-C 3 N 4 was utilized to improve h + /e − separation efficiency and anchor the capture probes of PCSK6 gene by the covalent bonding effect. The 5′ and 3′ primers captured PCSK6 ssDNA by the specific recognition. The linear range was 10 pg/mL to 20.0 ng/mL with a detection limit of 2 pg/mL.

Magnetic FeNi@Ni nanocables were prepared as a superior recyclable catalyst towards the hydrogenation reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol through a two-step tunable assembly process in a solvothermal system. The proposed fabrication mechanism was verified through characterization by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, and UV-Vis. The as-prepared FeNi@Ni nanocomposites are core–shell-structured nanocables with Ni nanoparticles (NPs) attached on FeNi nanorods (NRs) surface loosely. The catalytic reactivity monitored by means of a UV-vis dynamic process shows FeNi@Ni nanocables can catalyse the transformation of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol completely under an ambient atmosphere at room temperature, and enable the catalysis to be more efficient than its counterparts FeNi NRs and Ni NPs due to the interfacial synergistic effect. Additionally, the resultant hierarchical metal–alloy nanocomposites possess ferromagnetic behaviour, and can be easily separated and recycled by an external magnet field for application.

In this work, a novel flexible MWCNTs@MoO2-C nanocable composite for lithium ion battery anodes was fabricated by the electrospinning of homogeneously dispersed MWCNTs in a PVA/ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate solution and subsequent thermal treatment of the electrospun nanofibers. In the resulting MWCNTs@MoO2-C nanocable composite, the MoO2 nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in amorphous carbon nanofibers that contained well-embedded MWCNTs as their cores. Compared with samples without MWCNTs, the unique nanocable composite exhibited not only a high specific capacity but also excellent cycling performance and good flexibility. It delivered a high reversible capacity of 832 mAh g−1 at a current density of 50 mA g−1 after 30 cycles. The enhanced electrochemical performance of the MWCNTs@MoO2-C nanocable composite was attributed to its novel nanocable structure ensuring not only effective contact between MoO2 and the liquid electrolyte, but also high conductivity for Li+ and e– transfer.

A hierarchical nanocable structure was fulfilled by grafting poly(glycidyl methacrylate) from single walled carbon nanotubes (PGMA-SWCNTs) via activators regenerated by electron transfer-atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET-ATRP). It was found that SWCNTs were parallelly separated by the grafted PGMA brushes in the nanocables. To investigate the advantages of nanocable architecture, a composite film was prepared through filtrating the uniform solution of PGMA-SWCNTs nanocables. The dielectric properties dependent on frequency and temperature revealed that high dielectric constants, high impedance and low dielectric loss were simultaneously achieved for the PGMA-SWCNTs film. Meanwhile, thermal conductive analysis showed that the PGMA-SWCNTs film possessed a high thermal conductivity . The unique nanocable structure and the excellent interfacial interaction between PGMA and SWCNTs were believed to be the critical causes for the high performance of the nanocomposite.

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) has been widely studied due to its versatile application in photocatalysis. A facile, one-pot, ultrasonic-assisted approach was developed to synthesize coaxial nanocables consisting of highly conductive multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) cores and well-crystalline ZnS sheaths. The morphology and structural features of the materials were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The photoluminescence and optical properties of the CNT/ZnS coaxial nanocables are characterized by photoluminescent spectrum and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Methyl orange (MO) dye was chosen as a model for organic pollutants and was used to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the CNT/ZnS nanocables. CNT/ZnS showed significant visible-light activity in the degradation of MO. Compared with the ZnS powders, the novel CNT/ZnS coaxial nanocables exhibited much higher performance as a photocatalyst. The enhanced performance arises from the structural advantages of the nanocables. First, the CNT cores effectively improved the electronic conductivity of the hybrid materials. Second, the CNT coaxial nanocables had rich hierarchical pores of ZnS sheath and large surface area.

Self-supporting three-dimensional (3D) nanocable sponge of silver@carbon (Ag@C) nanocable was obtained by annealing silver@polyvinyl alcohol (Ag@cPVA) through a hydrothermal method under nitrogen atmosphere. FT-IR spectra showed that Ag@cPVA had been converted to Ag@C nanocables. XRD results indicated that the inner silver nanowires were not affected by the annealing process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that both Ag@cPVA and Ag@C nanocables 3D networks were obtained with temperature-dependent diameter and remained stable before and after the filling of epoxy resin. The dynamic mechanical properties and electrical and thermal conductivity of the obtained epoxy nanocomposites have been measured. In comparison with neat epoxy resin, the storage modulus increased from 2375 to 2753 MPa of Ag@C-1000/epoxy nanocomposite, while the T g remained almost unchanged. The volume resistivity of the Ag@C-1000/epoxy nanocomposite decreased drastically from 2.1 × 10 16 Ω·cm to 6.1 × 10 3 Ω·cm; meanwhile, the thermal conductivity increased by 105% from 0.18 to 0.37 W/mK.
