Influence of the sizes and surface charges of the NPs on the microstructures of the artificial nacre. (a–h) Fracture surface of the artificial nacre: (a) FeN10−, (b) FeN10+, (c) FeN25−, (d) FeN25+, (e) FeN80−, (f) FeN80+, (g) FeN150−, and (h) FeN350−. FeN10− is the artificial nacre incorporated with ~ 10 nm negatively charged NPs.
