The microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscope （TEM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, N2 adsorption-desorption, zeta potential measurements and vibrating sample magnetometer. Batch adsorption tests indicated that NH2-MS exhibited higher adsorption affinity toward Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） than MS did. The Langmuir model could fit the adsorption isotherm very well with maximum adsorption capacity of 128.21 and 51.81 mg/g for Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ）, respectively, implying that adsorption processes involved monolayer adsorption. Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） adsorption could be well described by the pseudo second-order kinetics model, and was found to be strongly dependent on pH and humic acid. The Pb（Ⅱ）- and Cd（Ⅱ）-loaded microspheres were effectively desorbed using 0.01 mol/L HC1 or EDTA solution. NH2-MS have promise for use as adsorbents in the removal of Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） in wastewater treatment processes.展开更多

Herein, a general dual-colloid interface co-assembly strategy is proposed to fabricate hollow mesoporous polypyrrole nano-bowls (mPPy-nbs) for high-energy-density solid-state planar MSCs. By simply adjusting the size of block copolymer micelles, the diameter of polystyrene nanospheres and the amount of pyrrole monomer, mesopore size of the shell, void and shell thickness of mPPy-nbs can be simultaneously controlled. Importantly, this strategy can be further utilized to synthesize other hollow mesoporous polymers, including poly(tris(4-aminophenyl)amine), poly(1,3,5-triaminobenzene) and their copolymers, demonstrative of excellent universality. The structurally optimized mPPy-nb exhibits high specific surface area of 122 m^(2) g^(−1)and large capacitance of 225 F g^(−1) at 1 mV s^(−1). Furthermore, the MSCs assembled by mPPy-nbs deliver impressive volumetric capacitance of 90 F cm^(−3) and energy density of 2.0 mWh cm^(−3), superior to the most reported polymers-based MSCs. Also, the fabricated MSCs present excellent flexibility with almost no capacitance decay under varying bending states, and robust serial/parallel self-integration for boosting voltage and capacitance output. Therefore, this work will inspire the new design of mesoporous conducting polymer materials toward high-performance microscale supercapacitive devices.展开更多

文摘Treating bone defects complicated by bacterial infections remains a significant clinical challenge.Drawing inspiration from the human body's bone repair mechanisms,the use of biomimetic methods to design tissue engineering scaffolds is of great significance for bone repair.This study synthesized copper(Cu)-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles(Cu@MSN)modified with hydroxyethyl methacrylate to obtain methacrylated Cu@MSN(Cu@MSNMA).Furtheremore,bio-mimetic nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by adding Cu@MSNMA to a GelMA/gelatin solution.This hydrogel achieves multi-modal bone tissue biomimicry:(ⅰ)GelMA/gelatin mimics the matrix components in bone ECM,ensuring biocompatibility while promoting cellular behavior(such as adhesion,proliferation,and differentiation);(ⅱ)GelMA/gela-tin and the crosslinking sites introduced by Cu@MSNMA form a stable porous network structure,achieving structural and mechanical biomimicry to provide necessary support for bone defects;(ⅲ)The elemental biomimicry of Si and Cu in Cu@MSNMA achieves efficient osteogenic induction.The effect of different proportions of Cu@MSNMA on the physi-cal properties of the composite hydrogels was investigated to determine the optimal proportion.The results indicated that the mechanical properties of hydrogel were enhanced with the increasing Cu@MSNMA mass ratio.Notably,5%NPs/GelMA/gelatin hydrogel exhibited excellent mechanical property compared to the GelMA/gelatin hydrogel.In vitro and vivo cellular experiments demonstrated a significant enhancement in antibacterial and osteogenic induction with Cu@MSNMA addition.In conclusion,the proposed nanocomposite hydrogel with biomimetic components and ion-regulating properties can serve as a multifunctional scaffold,offering antimicrobial properties for infected bone regeneration,and guide for future research in bone regeneration and three-dimensional printing.

文摘Conversion of ammonia into hydrogen,a crucial pathway for the hydrogen economy,is severely constrained by the intricacy of the required equipment and the low efficiency.Herein,Pd@Pt Ni Co Ru Ir coreshell mesoporous bifunctional electrocatalysts were fabricated via a one-step wet-chemical reduction approach.By utilizing the limiting effect of triblock copolymers,gradient distribution control of six metal elements(Pd core and Pt/Ni/Co/Ru/Ir high-entropy alloys shell) was achieved,where the high-entropy alloy shell forms high-density active sites through lattice distortion effect.With the help of lattice distortion and mesoporous-confinement-enabled interfacial coupling effects,Pd@Pt Ni Co Ru Ir catalyst exhibited exceptional bifunctional performance in alkaline media:A low hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) overpotential of 30.5 m V at 10 m A/cm^(2) and a high ammonia oxidation reaction(AOR) peak current density of 19.6 m A/cm^(2) at 0.7 V vs.RHE,representing a 3.83-fold enhancement over commercial Pt/C.Moreover,a rechargeable Zn-NH_(3) battery system was constructed and achieved 92.3 % Faradaic efficiency(FE) for NH_(3)-to-H_(2) conversion with outstanding stability at 16 m A/cm^(2),thereby providing an innovative solution for efficient ammonia decomposition-based hydrogen production.

文摘Structural modification of three dimensional(3D)materials for the application of dielectric loss-based microwave absorbing materials(MAMs)usually relies on intricate synthesis process and can pose challenges in terms of scalability and mass production for practical application.In this work,we reported a successful attempt in modifying the 3D structure of mesoporous lanthanum oxide(La_(2)O_(3))for effective broadband MAMs candidate via simple co-precipitation process.The inclusion of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)and hydrothermal aging treatment result in a significant transformation of La_(2)O_(3)particles from their original polygonal form to a 3D coral-like and nano needle-like structure.The utilization of CTAB and hydrothermal aging results in the increase of surface area and a two-fold increase in pore volume of the resulting La_(2)O_(3).Due to its unique 3D structure,the 3D coral-like and nano needle-like La_(2)O_(3)materials possess a broadband electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption characteristic with the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)covering the C-band frequency range.Specifically,in the La_(2)O_(3)C-H sample(with CTAB-with hydrothermal),it exhibits strong EM wave absorption with a reflection loss(RL)value of-33.07 dB which equals to 99.95%EM wave absorption at a thickness of only 1.50 mm.The detailed analysis of EM wave absorption properties reveals that the improvement of La_(2)O_(3)materials to attenuate EM wave energy arises from the dielectric loss phenomenon,the enhanced interfacial polarization,multiple reflections mechanism,and conduction loss mechanism induced by the 3D structural formation of the La_(2)O_(3)structure.This work proposes a novel and efficient approach in synthesizing and modifying 3D materials for effective broadband EM wave absorption.

文摘Adsorption of pure CO_(2) and N2 and separation of CO_(2)/N2 mixture in MFI zeolite and MFI/MCM-41 micro/mesoporous composite have been studied by using atomistic simulations.Fully atomistic models of MFI and MFI/MCM-41 are constructed and characterized.A bimodal pore size distribution is observed in MFI/MCM-41 from simulated small-and broad-angle X-ray diffrac-tion patterns.The density of MFI/MCM-41 is lower than MFI,while its free volume and specific surface area are greater than MFI due to the presence of mesopores.CO_(2) is preferentially adsorbed than N2,and thus,the loading and isosteric heat of CO_(2) are greater than N2 in both MFI and MFI/MCM-41.CO_(2) isotherm in MFI/MCM-41 is similar to that in MFI at low pressures,but resembles that in MCM-41 at high pressures.N2 shows similar amount of loading in MFI,MCM-41 and MFI/MCM-41.The selectivity of CO_(2) over N2 in the three adsorbents decreases in the order of MFI>MFI/MCM-41>MCM-41.With increasing pressure,the selectivity increases in MFI and MFI/MCM-41,but decreases in MCM-41.The self-diffusivity of CO_(2) and N2 in MFI decreases as loading increases,while in MFI/MCM-41,itfirst increases and then drops.

文摘Amino-functionalized Fe3O4@mesoporous SiO/ core-shell composite microspheres NH2-MS in created in multiple synthesis steps have been investigated for Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） adsorption. The microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscope （TEM）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, N2 adsorption-desorption, zeta potential measurements and vibrating sample magnetometer. Batch adsorption tests indicated that NH2-MS exhibited higher adsorption affinity toward Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） than MS did. The Langmuir model could fit the adsorption isotherm very well with maximum adsorption capacity of 128.21 and 51.81 mg/g for Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ）, respectively, implying that adsorption processes involved monolayer adsorption. Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） adsorption could be well described by the pseudo second-order kinetics model, and was found to be strongly dependent on pH and humic acid. The Pb（Ⅱ）- and Cd（Ⅱ）-loaded microspheres were effectively desorbed using 0.01 mol/L HC1 or EDTA solution. NH2-MS have promise for use as adsorbents in the removal of Pb（Ⅱ） and Cd（Ⅱ） in wastewater treatment processes.

文摘Developing an efficient approach of transforming biomass waste to functional carbon-based electrode materials applied in supercapacitor offers an important and high value-added practical application due to the abundance and considerable low price of biomass wastes.Herein,a hierarchical carbon functionalized with electrochemical-active oxygen-containing groups was fabricated by microwave treatment from the biomass waste of camellia oleifera.The obtained mesoporous carbon(MAC)owns nanosheet morphology,rich mesoporosity,large surface area(1726 m2/g)and very high oxygenic functionalities(16.2 wt%)with pseudocapacitive activity.Prepared electrode of supercapacitor and tested in 2.0 M H2 SO4,the MAC exhibits an obvious pseudocapacitive activity and achieved a superior supercapacitive performance to that of directly activated carbon(DAC-800)including high specific capacitance(367 F/g vs.298 F/g)and better rate performance(66%vs.44%).The symmetrical supercapacitor based on MAC shows a high capacity of275 F/g,large energy density of 9.55 Wh/kg(at power density of 478 W/kg)and excellent cycling stability with 99%capacitance retention after 10000 continuous charge-discharge,endowing the obtained MAC a promising functional material for electrochemical energy storage.

文摘Mesoporous silica has been widely explored for biomedical applications due to its unique structure and good biocompatibility.In particular it exhibits superior properties as micro/nano-carriers in the biomedical field.We explore their potentials in controlled drug/gene co-delivery and photodynamic therapy for cancer treatment both in vitro and in vivo.By incorporating mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNP)with two-dimensional nanomaterial,graphene oxide nano-sheet,we utilize MSNP in cellular bio-imaging with squaraine dye.Meanwhile,through delicate combination between mesoporous silica micro/nano carriers with catalytic/bio-catalytic reactions,we manage to achieve self-propelled micro/nano-motors based on mesoporous silica that are capable of transporting cargos in an active manner.Especially,enzyme powered mesoporous silica motors can be powered by physiologically available fuels such as glucose and urea,which are advantageous for future biomedical use.Motion control on both velocity and movement direction provides a powerful tool for targeted drug delivery.Therefore,such mesoporous silica based active carriers pave way to the solution of targeted drug delivery for cancer treatment in future nano-medicine field.

文摘Highly dispersed carbon microspheres(CMSs)derived from D-xylose were successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and followed by further carbonization,in which F127 was used as a soft template.As-synthesized products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),flourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),thermal gravimetric(TG)and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results showed that the morphology and structure of the CMSs prominently depended on the stirring speed during hydrothermal reaction.The resultant CMSs principally had non-porous structure without stirring and had a very smooth surface.When the stirring speed increased to 200 rpm,the synthesized mesoporous carbon microspheres at 220?C for 24 h(CMSs-5)had a uniform size distribution of 1–1.4μm and a specific surface area of 452 m^2/g.Nevertheless,with further increasing to 400 rpm,as-fabricated carbon products were mostly amorphous with a low degree of sphericity.Results demonstrated that the diameter of the products decreased with the increase of stirring speed.Furthermore,the sphericity product yield of CMSs reduced with the increase of stirring speed.XRD result showed that all the obtained samples contained partial graphite phase.In addition,a formation mechanism was proposed that involved polymerization product as the precursors for microsphere formation.The controllable and green strategy may provide a great convenience to study properties and applications of carbon microspheres.

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Photocatalysis and Fenton process are two primary and promising advanced oxidation processes to degrade organic pollutants.However,the practical applications of single photocatalysis and Fenton process are still limited.Introducing one of them into another to form a combined photocatalytic Fentonlike system has shown great potential but still faces challenges in designing a well-tailored catalyst.Herein,a confined photocatalytic Fenton-like micro-reactor catalyst with a movable Fe_(3) O_(4) core and a mesoporous TiO_(2) shell has been constructed via a successive Stober coating strategy,followed by an ultrasound assisted etching method.The resulting micro-reactor possesses well-defined yolk-shell structures with unifo rm mesopores(~4 nm),a large Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) surface area(~166.7 m^(2)/g),a high pore volume(~0.56 cm^(3)/g) and a strong magnetization(~51 emu/g),as well as tunable reactor sizes(20-90 nm).When evaluated for degrading bisphenol A under solar light in the presence of peroxymo no sulfate,the micro-reactor exhibits a superior catalytic degradation perfo rmance with a high magnetic separation efficiency and an excellent recycle ability.The outstanding performance can be attributed to its unique textual structure,which leads to a great syne rgistic effect from the photocatalytic and Fenton-like process.This study gives an important insight into the design and synthesis of an advanced micro-reactor for a combined advanced oxidation processes(AOPs).

文摘Carbon materials are considered as prospective anode candidates for potassium ion batteries(PIBs).However,the low-rate capability is hampered by slow K+diffusion kinetics and obstructed electron transport of carbon-based anodes.In this work,calcium D-gluconate derived mesoporous carbon nanosheets(CGC)were interpenetrated into the architecture of reduced graphene oxides(RGO)to form the composites of two-dimensional(2D)/2D graphene/mesoporous carbon nanosheets(RGO@CGC).CGC as a rigid skeleton can prevent the graphene layers from restacking and maintain the structural stability of the 2D/2D carbon composites of RGO@CGC.The mesopores in CGC can shorten the path of ion diffusion and facilitate the penetration of electrolytes.RGO possesses the high surface-to-volume ratio and superior electron transport capability in the honeycomb-like 2D network consisting of sp^(2)-hybridized carbon atoms.Especially,theπ-πstacking interaction between CGC and RGO enhances stable composite structure formation,expedites interlayer-electron transfer,and establishes three-dimensional(3D)ion transportation pathways.Owing to these unique structure,RGO@CGC exhibits fast and stable potassium storage capability.Furthermore,the effects of binders and electrolytes on the electrochemical performance of RGO@CGC were investigated.Finally,Prussian blue was synthesized as a positive electrode to explore the possibility of RGO@CGC as a full battery application.

文摘Rational design and precise regulation over the morphology, structure, and pore size of functional conducting mesoporous polymers with enriched active sites and shorten electron–ion transport pathway are extremely important for developing high-performance micro-supercapacitors (MSCs), but still remain a great challenge. Herein, a general dual-colloid interface co-assembly strategy is proposed to fabricate hollow mesoporous polypyrrole nano-bowls (mPPy-nbs) for high-energy-density solid-state planar MSCs. By simply adjusting the size of block copolymer micelles, the diameter of polystyrene nanospheres and the amount of pyrrole monomer, mesopore size of the shell, void and shell thickness of mPPy-nbs can be simultaneously controlled. Importantly, this strategy can be further utilized to synthesize other hollow mesoporous polymers, including poly(tris(4-aminophenyl)amine), poly(1,3,5-triaminobenzene) and their copolymers, demonstrative of excellent universality. The structurally optimized mPPy-nb exhibits high specific surface area of 122 m^(2) g^(−1)and large capacitance of 225 F g^(−1) at 1 mV s^(−1). Furthermore, the MSCs assembled by mPPy-nbs deliver impressive volumetric capacitance of 90 F cm^(−3) and energy density of 2.0 mWh cm^(−3), superior to the most reported polymers-based MSCs. Also, the fabricated MSCs present excellent flexibility with almost no capacitance decay under varying bending states, and robust serial/parallel self-integration for boosting voltage and capacitance output. Therefore, this work will inspire the new design of mesoporous conducting polymer materials toward high-performance microscale supercapacitive devices.
