Diatoms are unicellular algae of enormous biodiversity that occur in all water habitats on earth. Their cell walls are composed of amorphous biosilica and exhibit species-specific nanoporous to microporous and macroporous patterning. Therefore, diatom biosilica is a promising renewable material for various applications, such as in catalysis, drug-delivery systems, and biophotonics. In this study, diatom biosilica of three different species (<i>Stephanopyxis turris</i>, <i>Eucampia zodiacus</i>, ...[more]
