a Schematic of phase change of co-assembly Fmoc–F–F by His. b, c SEM and TEM of self-assembled Fmoc–F–F in pure water. Stubby nanorods were obtained. d, e SEM and TEM of co-assembled Fmoc–F–F (His). Thin and long filaments transformed from nanorods were obtained due to the presence of His. f milky white turbid liquid formed by Fmoc–F–F and clear hydrogel formed by Fmoc–F–F (His). g Occurrence of phase transition based on rheological measurements of dynamic frequency sweeps of Fmoc–F–F (His). Three times each experiment was repeated independently with similar results. Representative images are shown. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
