Hybrid nanomaterials have found use in many biomedical applications. This article provides a comprehensive review of the principles, techniques, and recent advancements in the design and fabrication of hybrid nanomaterials for biomedicine. We begin with an introduction to the general concept of material hybridization, followed by a discussion of how this approach leads to materials with additional functionality and enhanced performance. We then highlight hybrid nanomaterials in the forms of nanostructures, nanocomposites, metal-organic frameworks, and biohybrids, including their fabrication methods. We also showcase the use of hybrid nanomaterials to advance biomedical engineering in the context of nanomedicine, regenerative medicine, diagnostics, theranostics, and biomanufacturing. Finally, we offer perspectives on challenges and opportunities., (© 2024 The Authors. Angewandte Chemie International Edition published by Wiley-VCH GmbH.)

Producing oxygen and hydrogen via the electrolysis of water has the advantages of a simple operation, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness, making it the most promising hydrogen production method. In this study, La0.2Sr0.8Cu0.4Co0.6O3−δ (LSCC) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning to utilize non-noble perovskite oxides instead of noble metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction, and the performance and electrochemical properties of LSCC nanofibers synthesized at different firing temperatures were evaluated. In an alkaline environment (pH = 14, 6 M KOH), the nanofibers calcined at 650 °C showed an overpotential of 209 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 as well as good long-term stability. Therefore, the prepared LSCC-650 NF catalyst shows excellent potential for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
