文摘Obesity has become a global threat to health;however,the available drugs for treating obesity are limited.We investigated the anti-obesity effect of hydroxy-α-sanshool(HAS),an amide derived from the fruit of Zanthoxylum bungeanum,which promotes the management of obesity by triggering the browning of white adipose tissue(WAT)targeting the membrane receptor of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1).However,HAS easily undergoes configuration transformation and oxidative degradation.The short peptide CKGGRAKDC or adipose-targeting sequence(ATS)binds specifically to prohibitin on the surface of WAT cells and can be used as recognition assembly to enhance adipocyte targetability.Furthermore,mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs)are widely used in drug delivery systems because of their large specific surface area and pore volume.Therefore,HAS-loaded adipose-targeted MSNs(MSNs-ATS)were developed to enhance the adipocyte targetability,safety,and efficacy of HAS,and tested on mature 3T3-L1 cells and obese mouse models.MSNs-ATS showed higher specificity for adipocyte targetability without obvious toxicity.HAS-loaded MSNs-ATS showed anti-obesity effects superior to those of HAS alone.In conclusion,we successfully developed adipocyte-targeted,HAS-loaded MSNs with good safety and anti-obesity effects.
文摘To alleviate the quality deterioration and extend the shelf life of crucian carp fillets,a bio-based active composite film integrating eugenol(EG)-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs)modified with caffeic acid(CA)within the zein matrix(EG/CA-MSN/Zein)was developed.This study compared the effects of EG/CA-MSN/Zein,polyethylene(PE),and zein films on the quality of fish fillets during refrigerated storage.The results showed that the EG/CA-MSN/Zein film significantly retarded the increase in pH and microbial growth.Moreover,the film had higher water-holding capacity(WHC),better texture,and color stability,as indicated by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance(LF-NMR),magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),and sensory evaluation.The EG/CA-MSN/Zein composite film extended the shelf life of crucian carp fillets by 3-4 days,highlighting its potential as an environmentally friendly and efficient packaging material for aquatic products.
文摘Due to the high capacity and moderate volume expansion of silicon protoxide SiO_(x)(160%)compared with that of Si(300%),reducing silicon dioxide SiO_(2)into SiO_(x)while maintaining its special nano-morphology makes it attractive as an anode of Li-ion batteries.Herein,through a one-pot facile high-temperature annealing route,using SBA15 as the silicon source,and embedding tin dioxide SnO_(2)particles into carbon coated SiO_(x),the mesoporous SiO_(x)-SnO_(2)@C rod composite was prepared and tested as the anode material.The results revealed that the SnO_(2)particles were distributed uniformly in the wall,which could further improve their volume energy densities.The coated carbon plays a role in maintaining structural integrality during lithiation,and the rich mesopores structure can release the expanded volume and enhance Li-ion transfer.At 0.1 A·g^(-1),the gravimetric and volumetric capacities of the composite were as high as 1271 mAh·g^(-1)and 1573 mAh·cm^(-3),respectively.After 200 cycles,the 95%capacity could be retained compared with that upon the 2nd cycle at 0.5 A·g^(-1).And the rod morphology was well kept,except that the diameter of the rod was 3 times larger than its original size after the cell was discharged into 0.01 V.

文摘Mesoporous carbon supports mitigate platinum(Pt)sulfonic poisoning through nanopore-confined Pt deposition,yet their morphological impacts on oxygen transport remain unclear.This study integrates carbon support morphology simulation with an enhanced agglomerate model to establish a mathematical framework elucidating pore evolution,Pt utilization,and oxygen transport in catalyst layers.Results demonstrate dominant local mass transport resistance governed by three factors:(1)active site density dictating oxygen flux;(2)ionomer film thickness defining shortest transport path;(3)ionomer-to-Pt surface area ratio modulating practical pathway length.At low ionomer-to-carbon(I/C)ratios,limited active sites elevate resistance(Factor 1 dominant).Higher I/C ratios improve the ionomer coverage but eventually thicken ionomer films,degrading transport(Factors 2–3 dominant).The results indicate that larger carbon particles result in a net increase in local transport resistance by reducing external surface area and increasing ionomer thickness.As the proportion of Pt situated in nanopores or the Pt mass fraction increases,elevated Pt density inside the nanopores exacerbates pore blockage.This leads to the increased transport resistance by reducing active sites,and increasing ionomer thickness and surface area.Lower Pt loading linearly intensifies oxygen flux resistance.The model underscores the necessity to optimize support morphology,Pt distribution,and ionomer content to prevent pore blockage while balancing catalytic activity and transport efficiency.These insights provide a systematic approach for designing high-performance mesoporous carbon catalysts.

文摘The slow kinetics of the cathode CO_(2) reduction reaction and the decomposition reaction of Li2CO3,a widebandwidth insulating product,lead to difficult CO_(2) capture and high charging potential in Li-CO_(2) batteries.To improve the reaction kinetics and decrease the reaction overpotential,we synthesized mesoporous Pt nanosheets with high tensile strain.The presence of many unsaturated coordinated Pt atoms around the pores gives rise to tensile strain in the mesoporous Pt nanosheets.This tensile strain plays a key role in regulating the interactions between the catalytic surface of Pt and the adsorbed intermediates.The two-dimensional structure provides more active sites on the surface for the catalytic reactions.These superiorities enable a low overpotential of 0.36 V at a cutoff capacity of 100μAh·cm^(−2) at a current density of 10μA·cm^(−2) over more than 2000 h.This study opens new possibilities for the rational design of metal-based materials with strain engineering for electrochemical energy storage.

文摘KIT‐6 mesoporous silica aged at 40,100,and 150°C were used as hard templates to prepare different mesoporous MnO2 catalysts,marked as Mn‐40,Mn‐100,and Mn‐150,respectively.The catalytic activities of these catalysts and the effect of pore sizes on ethanol catalytic oxidation were investigated.Mn‐40,Mn‐100,and Mn‐150 have triple,double,and single pore systems,respectively.On decreasing the aging temperature of KIT‐6,the pore sizes of KIT‐6 decrease and that of mesoporous MnO2 catalysts increase.The pore sizes and catalytic activities increase in the order:Mn‐40>Mn‐100>Mn‐150.Mn‐40 catalyst has a higher TOF(0.11 s–1 at 120°C)and the best catalytic activity for ethanol oxidation because of a bigger pore size with three pore systems with maximum distribution at 1.9,3.4,and 6.6 nm,decrease in symmetry and degree of order,more surface lattice oxygen species,oxygen vacancies resulting from more Mn3+ions,and better low‐temperature reducibility.

文摘The efficient storage and application of sustainable solar energy has drawn significant attention from both academic and industrial points of view.However,most developed catalytic materials still suffer from insufficient mass diffusion and unsatisfactory durability due to the lack of interconnected and regulatable porosity.Developing catalytic architectures with engineered active sites and prominent stability through rational synthesis strategies has become one of the core projects in solar-driven applications.The unique properties of mesoporous silicas render them among the most valuable functional materials for industrial applications,such as high specific surface area,regulatable porosity,adjustable surface properties,tunable particle sizes,and great thermal and mechanical stability.Mesoporous silicas serve as structural templates or catalytic supports to enhance light harvesting via the scattering effect and provide large surface areas for active site generation.These advantages have been widely utilized in solar applications,including hydrogen production,CO_(2)conversion,photovoltaics,biomass utilization,and pollutant degradation.To achieve the specific functionalities and desired activity,various types of mesoporous silicas from different synthesis methods have been customized and synthesized.Moreover,morphology regulation and component modification strategies have also been performed to endow mesoporous silica-based materials with unprecedented efficiency for solar energy storage and utilization.Nevertheless,reviews about synthesis,morphology regulation,and component modification strategies for mesoporous silica-based catalyst design in solar-driven applications are still limited.Herein,the latest progress concerning mesoporous silica-based catalysis in solar-driven applications is comprehensively reviewed.Synthesis principles,formation mechanisms,and rational functionalities of mesoporous silica are systematically summarized.Some typical catalysts with impressive activities in different solar-driven applications are highlighted.Furthermore,challenges and future potential opportunities in this study field are also discussed and proposed.This present review guides the design of mesoporous silica catalysts for efficient solar energy management for solar energy storage and conversion applications.

文摘High-efficient rubber antioxidants for enhanced heat resistance without compromising mechanical properties remain an enormous and long-term challenge for the rubber industry.Herein,we employed the in-situ growth of Ce-doped Co-metal-organic framework(Ce Co-MOF)in dendritic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles(DMONs@Ce Co-MOF,denoted as DCCM)to prepare a novel antioxidant that exhibit outstanding thermal stability.Dendritic mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles(DMONs)effectively alleviated the incompatibility of Ce Co-MOF in the polymer matrix,and the effective scavenging of free radicals was attributed to the various oxidation states of metal ions in Ce Co-MOF.Surprising,by adding only0.5 phr(parts per hundred of rubber)of DMONs@Ce Co-MOF to silicone rubber,(SR),the retention rate of tensile strength increased from 37.3%to 61.6%after aging 72 h at 250℃,and the retention rate of elongation at break of DCCM/SR1 composites reached 68%,which was 5.43 times of SR.The strategy of anchoring MOFs on the surface of silica also provides a viable method for preparing effective compound functionalized rubber antioxidant.

文摘Hierarchical lignin-derived ordered mesoporous carbon(HOMC)was significant for advanced supercapacitors.However,achieving controllable fabrication and optimizing electrochemical behavior were challenging.In this work,an eco-friendly HOMC was synthesized using lignin as carbon precursors and Zn^(2+)as cross-linking and pore-forming agents,followed by KHCO_(3)activation,eliminating the need for toxic phenolic resins and acid treatments for metal removal.Machine learning technology,specifically an Artificial Neural Network(ANN model,was utilized to assist the experimental design and prediction.The ANN model suggested an ideal hierarchical structure and optimized oxygen level,achieved through the adjustment of Zn^(2+)additive concentration,carbonization temperature,and subsequent KHCO_(3)activation to maximize capacitance.The HOMC electrode,with a micropore-to-mesopore ratio(S_(micro)/S_(meso))of 1.01 and an oxygen content of 8.81 at%,acquired a specific capacitance of 362 F·g^(-1)at 0.5 A·g^(-1)in 6 mol·L^(-1)KOH electrolyte.The assembled HOMC//HOMC supercapacitor could afford a high energy density of 33.38 Wh·kg^(-1)with a corresponding specific power density of 300 W·kg^(-1)in TEATFB PC electrolyte.Meanwhile,the long-term cycle stability of 94.33%was achieved after 20,000 cycles.This work provides an ANN assisted strategy for the synthesis of HOMC,highlighting its potential to valorize biomass and agricultural waste in sustainable energy storag solutions.

文摘The preparation of immobilized enzyme with excellent performance is one of the difficulties that restrict the application of enzyme catalysis technology.Here,Candida rugosa lipase(CRL)was firstly adsorbed on the surface of magnetic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8(ZIF-8)nanospheres,which was further encapsulated with a mesoporous SiO_(2)nano-membrane formed by tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS)polycondensation.Consequently,lipase could be firmly immobilized on carrier surface by physical binding rather than chemical binding,which did not damage the active conformation of enzyme.There were mesopores on the silica nano-membrane,which could improve the accessibility of enzyme and its apparent catalytic activity.Moreover,silica membrane encapsulation could also improve the stability of enzyme,suggesting an effective enzyme immobilization strategy.It showed that TEOS amount and the encapsulation time had significant effects on the thickness of silica membrane and the enzyme activity.The analysis in enzyme activity and protein secondary structure showed that lipase encapsulated in silica membrane retained the active conformation to the greatest extent.Compared with the adsorbed lipase,the encapsulated lipase increased its thermostability by 3 times and resistance to chemical denaturants by 7 times.The relative enzyme activity remained around 80%after 8 repetitions,while the adsorbed lipase only remained at7.3%.

文摘To efficiently address the current high cost associated with preparing pseudo-boehmite from organic aluminum,a low-cost alternative,AlCl_(3),is employed as the raw material.The sol-gel method is utilized,and H_(2)O_(2)is incorporated for the modification of pseudo-boehmite.The modification mechanism is thoroughly investigated through the use of X-ray powder diffractometer,scanning electron microscope,and BET data analysis,as well as molecular dynamics simulations.Under specific conditions(temperature at 80°C,pH=7,and H_(2)O_(2)volume ratios of 0.5:1,1:1,and 2:1),mesoporous pseudo-boehmite is synthesized with a specific surface area of 227 m^(2)/g,a pore volume of 0.281 cm^(3)/g,a pore size of 6.78 nm,and a peptizing index of 99.47%.A novel and innovative methodology for the cost-effective production of high-performance alumina is offered through the approach.
文摘Aromatization of light alkanes is a value-added process in both petrochemical and coal chemical industries.Here,single[Ga(OH)]^(2+)ion-exchanged mesoporous hollow-structured ZSM-5(Ga-MH-ZSM-5)material was prepared,and it shows unprecedented catalytic performance in light alkane aromatization,considering activity,product selectivity and catalytic stability.The average aromatics yields in ethane aromatization at 600℃and WHSV of 0.8 h^(-1) within 28 h and in propane aromatization at 580℃and WHSV of 1.1 h^(-1) within 20 h reach~18.4%and~70.8%with benzene,toluene and xylenes(BTX)accounting for~96%and~88%of aromatics,respectively.Ga-MH-ZSM-5-0.41 gave a TON for formation of aromatics(TON_(aromatics))from propane as high as 57479,whereas the reported catalysts maximally show a TON_(aromatics) of 5514.This also holds true for ethane aromatization;the TON_(aromatics) obtained on Ga-MH-ZSM-5-0.41 was³3845 in contrast to£392 on reported non-noble metal catalysts.The catalytic activity of Ga-MH-ZSM-5 highly depends on Ga species structures.[Ga(OH)]^(2+)ions are predominant species at Ga loading≤0.3 wt%,while more[Ga(OH)_(2)]^(+)and GaO_(x) oligomers are formed with increasing Ga content.Upon reduction with H_(2),[Ga(OH)]^(2+)and[Ga(OH)_(2)]^(+)are transformed into[GaH]^(2+)and[GaH_(2)]^(+)species,which show a propane dehydrogenation rate of 300 and 15 times of that of Brønsted acid sites respectively.The light alkanes are mainly dehydrogenated into light olefins on[GaH]^(2+)species,and then,oligomerized and cyclized into(alkyl)cycloalkanes on H^(+)sites,which is followed by possible ring expansion on H^(+)and sequential dehydrogenations into aromatics primarily on[GaH]^(2+).

文摘Mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MsNs)are thought to be an attractive drug delivery material because of their advantages including high specific surface area,tunable pore size and morphology,easy sur-face modification and good biocompatibility.However,as a result of the poor biodegradability of MsNs,their biomedical applications are limited.To break the bottleneck of limited biomedical applications of MSNs,more and more researchers tend to design biodegradable MSNs(b-MSNs)nanosystems to obtain biodegradable as well as safe and reliable drug delivery carriers.In this review,we focused on sum-marizing strategies to improve the degradability of MsNs and innovatively proposed a series of advan-tages of b-MsNs,including controlled cargo release behavior,multifunctional frameworks,nano-catalysis,bio-imaging capabilities and enhanced therapeutic effects.Based on these advantages,we have inno-vatively summarized the applications of b-MsNs for enhanced tumor theranostics,including enhanced chemotherapy,delivery of nanosensitizers,gas molecules and biomacromolecules,initiation of immune response,synergistic therapies and image-guided tumor diagnostics.Finally,the challenges and further clinical translation potential of nanosystems based on b-MsNs are fully discussed and prospected.We believe that such b-MsNs delivery carriers will provide a timely reference for further applications in tu-mor theranostics.

文摘Confinement effect is an effective method to enhance carbon dioxide(CO_(2))solubility.In this study,a hybrid sorbent of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide([Hmim][NTf_2])/mesoporous titanium dioxide(M-TiO_(2))/water(H_2O)was developed,and its confinement effect was regulated by changing the pore structure of M-TiO_(2).CO_(2) solubility in the hybrid sorbent was measured experimentally,and the thermodynamic properties including Henry's constant and desorption enthalpy were calculated.Furthermore,the confinement effect in the hybrid sorbent was quantified.Additionally,the hybrid sorbent was recycled with a multi-cycle experiment.The results showed that M-TiO_(2) calcined at 773.2 K(MT500)could lead to an efficient confinement effect.CO_(2) solubility in the hybrid sorbent increased by 49.8%compared to that of H_2O when the mass fraction of[Hmim][NTf_2]/MT500 was 5.0%(mass),where the contribution of confinement effect on Gibbs free energy occupied 5.2%.
文摘Gliomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system;among them,glioblastoma multiforme stands out as the most aggressive and lethal subtype,characterized by high therapeutic resistance and frequent recurrences.Glioblastoma’s complex pathology is driven by biological and molecular factors that compromise conventional therapies,including blood-brain and bloodtumor barriers,angiogenesis,immune evasion,and aberrant signaling pathways,along with genetic drivers of drug resistance.In cancer therapy,mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs)have shown promise as nanocarriers thanks to the unique attributes of their mesostructure,including large surfaces,uniform pore sizes,high loading efficiency,and flexibility of chemical modifications.Several studies have proposed MSNs to address a number of challenges facing drug delivery in gliomas,including limited penetration across the blood-brain barrier,non-specific biodistribution,and systemic adverse reactions.Moreover,MSNs can be functionalized with tumor-targeting ligands so that cancer cells are selectively taken up,while they can also release therapeutic agents in response to internal and external stimuli,enabling controlled drug delivery within tumor microenvironments.Herein,we review the integration of the MSN-based delivery approach with advances in molecular oncology to improve clinical outcomes for glioma therapeutics,while highlighting the concerns around their limited clinical translation and potential toxicity.

文摘Demand for high-performance power devices continues to grow with the continuous development of power electronics and high-end field applications.Although packaging materials based on epoxy resins and silica gels have been widely developed,higher operating temperatures and operating voltages are still critical to the performance of power devices.Here,a composite film containing functionalized meso-porous hollow silica particles(MH-SiO_(2))and polyimide(PI)was prepared by a template method and layer-by-layer coating strategy to address the current bottlenecks in packaging material development.The electrical breakdown strength of the prepared PI/SiO_(2) composite film was 323.41 kV/mm,while the mass fraction of MH-SiO_(2) was only 5%.This indicates that the mesoporous structure can effectively inhibit electron collisions with nano-restricted domains.The simulation results also indicate that the size variation of inorganic fillers and the interaction of organic/inorganic heterogeneous interfaces are the main reasons affecting the performance of the composites.Meanwhile,the PI/SiO_(2) composite films achieved other properties required for practical applications,such as matched coefficient of thermal ex-pansion(CTE)(23.5 ppm/℃),excellent thermal stability(T_(5)%=559.0℃)and low dielectric constant(2.27@1 M Hz).These results highlight the great potential of inorganic phase-specific structural designs for the preparation of high-performance power device packaging materials.

文摘Rechargeable zinc-air batteries(ZABs)hold significant promise for next-generation energy storage due to their unique advantages in safety,energy and cost.However,their commercial application remains hindered by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER),necessitating the development of highly efficient and durable electrocatalysts.Herein,we report a hierarchically mesoporous Fe-N-C catalyst(Fe-N/MPC_(S500))synthesized via a template-assisted method,which exhibits exceptional bifunctional ORR/OER performance.The Fe-N/MPC_(S500)catalyst achieves a positive ORR half-wave potential(0.86 V),along with a low OER over-potential of 510 mV at 10 mA cm^(2),surpassing those of most non-precious metal catalysts.Furthermore,in a liquid-state ZAB,Fe-N/MPC_(S500) delivers a high specific capacity of 708 mAh g^(-1),a peak power density of 409 mW cm^(2),and stable charge-discharge cycling over 470 h,outperforming commercial Pt/C+Ir/C catalysts.The outstanding performance is attributed to the hierarchical porosity,optimized Fe-N coordination,and enhanced electron/mass transport.This work presents a scalable and low-cost strategy for developing high-performance single-atom catalysts,paving the way for practical deployment in energy conversion and storage technologies.
