Au nanoparticles with small sizes (2-3 nm) were effectively stabilized in the mesopores of (S)-(-)-2-pyrrolidinone-5-carboxylic acid-modified SBA-15, which showed superior catalytic properties in aerobic oxidation of alcohols, compared with pyrrolidone-free SBA-15 supported Au catalysts.

SiO(2) mesoporous molecular sieve SBA-15 with the incorporation of erbium ions is studied as a novel type of nanoscopic composite photoluminescent material in this paper. To enhance the photoluminescence efficiency, two schemes have been used for the incorporation of Er(3+) where (1) Er(3+) is ligated with bis-(perfluoromethylsulfonyl)-aminate (PMS) forming Er(PMS)(x)-SBA-15 and (2) Yb(3+) is c...

A new pseudo-tetrahedral Co(II) complex has been grafted onto the surface of SBA-15 and successfully utilized for the catalytic oxidization of alkylaromatic substrates with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)via an H-atom transfer mechanism.

Ionic liquids have been explored as attractive alternative media for CO2 separation not only due to their low volatility but also due to their highly tuneable nature. Aiming at designing highly efficient liquid phases for flue gas separation and natural gas purification, this work focuses on the use of binary ionic liquid mixtures containing sulfate and/or cyano-functionalized anions. Several m...

In this study, highly ordered mesoporous silica material (SBA-15) functionalized with Diethyl 2 - (9 -fluorenyl) malonate as a flourophore is reported. The anchoring of flourophores to the hydroxyl group on SBA-15 surface was done with post synthesis method. The obtained materials were characterized by small and wide angle X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infrared ...

The feasible, reliable and selective multi-template molecularly imprinted polymers (MT17 MIPs) based on SBA-15 (SBA-15@MT-MIPs) for the selective separation and determination of the 18 trace level of ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) and notoginsenoside R1 (R1) (Panax 19 notoginseng saponins, PNS) from biological samples were developed. The polymers were 20 constructed by SBA-15 as s...

The carbon dioxide (CO2) separation can be enhanced by using modified materials like a deep eutectic solvent (DES) mesoporous silica SBA-15 in polymeric support i.e polysulfone via mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). pure and DES are potential candidates for the CO2 capturing their combination has not been reported yet. In this work, fresh was synthesized combining equal concentrations of Decanoic a...
