Mesoporous graphitic carbon nanodisks with hierarchical porous structure, facilely fabricated by catalytic carbonization of iron-based coordination polymer nanodisks, exhibit high capacitance even at high scan rates as electrode materials for electrochemical double layer capacitors.

We present clear evidence that the global (macroscopic) transport from/to mesoporous materials is significantly affected by the interactions between the mesoporous host and the guest molecules. The problem is considered in a most general way so the solutions apply for a variety of cases such as the release of a guest from porous matrices, catalysis occurring in porous materials or processes tak...

The aim of this project is to prepare various m esoporous hosts having hexagonal and cubic pore packing morphologies and improve their thermal, hydrolysis, and mechanical stabilities. Subsequently, we incorporate metal clusters and metal oxides into the pores to improve their sorption properties and to remove different types of sulphur compounds from organic liquids. Hydrolysis, thermal and hyd...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com composition and relative regular geometric structure. For example these micelles occluded in the as-synthesized mesoporous silica such as MCM-41 are the unique resource, since they are distributed in the spoke-like configuration to form numerous sub-nanometer gaps between them and the silica walls, and these inherent chemical and geometric propertie...

The design of hybrid mesoporous materials incorporating polymeric assemblies as versatile functional units has become a very fertile research area offering major opportunities for controlling molecular transport through interfaces. However, the creation of such functional materials depends critically on our ability to assemble polymeric units in a predictable manner within mesopores with dimens...

We report the first synthesis of periodic mesoporous silicas templated by bicelles. The obtained materials form novel pillared lamellar structures with a high degree of periodic order, narrow pore size distributions, and exceptionally high surface areas.

A novel route has been developed to fabricate ordered carbon mesoporous materials with well-dispersed, highly stable Pt nanoparticles of ca. 2-3 nm on the pore walls using platinum acetylacetonate as the co-feeding carbon and Pt precursor.

The structural properties of mesoporous silica nanoparticles are reviewed. Different strategies for the introduction of functional groups are considered. Based on the architectural features of the material, the functionalization at defined regions of the particles is described, along with the properties emerging from the corresponding site-specific modifications of their chemistry. Many applica...

Fe and Ni doped mesoporous Co3O4 (mCo3O4) catalysts were prepared and investigated for electrochemical oxygen evolution. The incorporation of Fe into mCo3O4 (Fe-mCo3O4) results in unusual synergistic effects via destruction of the bulk mesoporous structure and formation of slit-like pores. The Fe-mCo3O4 composite displayed a significantly enhanced catalytic activity for oxygen evolution.

An efficient and economic approach is proposed for the fast and direct recovery of silica materials from photonic waste powder. Unlike the conventional alkaline fusion method for the extraction of silica from waste materials, this method possesses advantages of a rapid and low-energy-consumed process with total recovery yield. The obtained mesoporous silica material, denoted as MCM-41(DU)-F, wa...
