SCAP-Exo were isolated according to previous protocols [17 (link), 18 (link)]. For exosome isolation, a conventional culture medium was replaced with a serum-free medium when cells reached 60–80% confluence, and SCAP were cultured for an additional 48 h. Then, the supernatant was centrifuged sequentially at 4°C 3,000 × g for 20 min, 20,000 × g for 30 min, and 120,000 × g for 2 h. Finally, the exosome pellets were resuspended in 200 μL of PBS. 20 μL SCAP-Exo was added to 30 μL lysis buffer (Beyotime Biotech Co., Shanghai, China) for 1 h on ice. The total concentration of exosomes was detected by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) kit (Beyotime, China). SCAP-Exo was stored at -80°C for subsequent experiments.
The morphology of SCAP-Exo was identified with a transmission electron microscope (H-800, Hitachi, Japan). The size of these exosomes was analysed by nanoparticle tracking analysis. Furthermore, CD9 and Alix were detected by western blot using specific antibodies against CD9 (1 : 250, Abcam, USA) and Alix (1 : 500, Abcam, USA).

Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM; Hitachi S-4800, Japan) was used to examine the morphologies of the nanofiber fabrics, nanofiber yarns, and nanofibers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM; accelerating voltage = 20 kV, Hitachi H-800, Japan) was used to study the interior structure of the PEDOT@PVDF nanofibers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS; Thermo Scientific ESCALAB-250, USA) with non-monochromatized Cu Kα X-rays applied as the excitation source was used to characterize the composition of the PEDOT@PVDF nanofiber. X-ray diffraction (XRD, Rigaku D-max 2200, Japan) was used to characterize the crystal structure of the PVDF power, PVDF nanofiber, and PEDOT@PVDF nanofiber by using Cu Kα radiation (λ = 0.15406 nm) applied over a 2θ range of 10°-70° at a scanning speed of 5°/min. The contact angle of the specimens was measured using a Dataphysics OCA20 (Germany) tester at room temperature and humidity. The stress intensity was measured with an INSTRON 365 tester, and the electrical response of the sensor was recorded in real time by using a Keithley 4200-SCS digital meter with a test step of 10 ms. The piezoelectric performance was recorded by using a voltage amplifier and a dynamic signal test and analysis system (DH5922N).

The Mn3O4 nanoparticles and cathodes for ex-situ tests were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD, Rigaku Ultima IVD/MAX-RB) with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 0.15406 nm) at ambient temperature. For the ex-situ XRD tests, the cathodes were removed from various charge states in the glove box, washed with deionized water and ethanol for three times respectively, and dried in vacuum. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy (HITAS-4800), HRTEM, and energy-dispersive microscopy (Hitachi H-800) were employed to investigate the morphologies, microstructure, and element contention variation of the cathode materials. The HAADF and ABF imaging of STEM was performed using a spherical aberration-corrected electron microscope at an acceleration voltage of 200 kV (JEM-ARM 200F transmission electron microscope). The HAADF and ABF images were taken simultaneously with two detectors of HAADF and ABF imaging which are aligned along the optical axis.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of samples were obtained on PANalytical X’ Pert PRO (PANalytical, Netherlands) by using Cu Kα radiation (λ = 0.15418 nm). The morphologies of the products were observed by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi H-800). The qualitative and semi-quantitative element analysis of the particle sample was tested by using the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS, EPMA-1600, Shimadzu Corporation) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, Axis Ultra, Shimadzu Corporation). The elemental composition of the whole particle was tested by using the atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS, PE-AA400, PerkinElmer Corporation) after dissolving in HNO3.

The specimens were coated with 0.7 nm of OsO4 (HPC-1SW, Japan). Each specimen was observed using a scanning electron microscope (Hitachi, SU-70) and underwent EDX microanalysis (EDAX Genesis; Pv 77, EDAX, USA) to analyze the elements of the area of interest. The compositions of the elements were compared.
Murine macrophages from the Cell Bank (RAW264.7; Korean Cell Line Bank No. 40071) were grown on the control and experimental discs. The growth of the cell culture was stopped at 1 h after seeding by fixing the samples. All materials including raw materials were prepared for scanning electron microscopic examination. After immobilization of the samples on the plate, each sample was coated with gold and examined using a scanning electron microscope (H-800, Hitachi, Japan).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
