Abstract A porous silica gel with both COOH and NH 2 groups was synthesized in one pot by the addition of l -glutamic acid ( l -GA) into a synthesis medium consisting of tetraethyl orthosilicate, water, ethanol, and 1-butylamine. The inclusion of l -GA in the as-synthesized product ( l -GA-SiO 2 ) was evidenced by FT-IR and TG measurements. The l -GA was chemically bonded with silica as indicated by the shift of FT-IR bands at 1510 and 1400 cm −1 in the spectrum of l -GA to higher wavenumbers of 1540 and 1460 cm −1 in the one of l -GA-SiO 2 . The TG analysis showed that the l -GA-SiO 2 had an increase of weight loss by 5.6% due to the decomposition of the included l -GA which was centered at around 313 °C, suggested by a new peak in the DTG curve. Compared with the one synthesized without l -GA, the l -GA-SiO 2 was more aggregated with smaller surface area. However, the latter showed a higher removal efficiency by 17.1% toward zinc ions in water than the former and the adsorbed ions were hardly released again into water from the used adsorbent.

Polyethylene glycols (PEG, average molecular weight 2000, and 10,000) are embedded in silica gels (SG) with pore diameters of d = 10–200 nm. The PEG/SG composites were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and powder X-ray diffractions (XRD). Inside the nanopores, melting temperatures of the PEG and the depression of the melting points, have linear relation with the reverse pore size. The latent heat is reduced with the decreasing pore size. The composites remained no leakage of PEG above the melting point in pore fillingness of 80%. In a short-term thermal cycling, the composites display stable melting points and heat storage capacities. The diffractions of PEG in the pores show the same patterns with the bulk, revealing a same structure basis with good heat storage performance. The nano-sized PEG act as a series of new phase change materials obtained by adjusting the size.

The polyurethane (PU)/hydrophobic silica gel (HSG) fibrous membranes with the hydrophobic and breathable surface was fabricated via electrospinning. By employing the HSG incorporation, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and waterproofness of the composite membranes could be improved. The porous structure of the membranes would be regulated by tuning the temperatures of thermal treatment. When HSG content increased to 3 wt%, the PU/HSG composite membranes possessed remarkable tensile strength of 6.3 MPa and high water contact angle (WCA) of 134°. Furthermore, the maximum WCA (142° ± 1°), good hydrostatic pressure (5.45 kPa), large water vapor transmission rate (8.05 kg/m 2 /day), and high air permeability (9.25 L/m 2 /s) of the composite membranes could be achieved by heat treatment at 120°C. The resultant membranes performed significantly better when compared to the pure PU membranes under the same conditions, such as the higher tensile strength (100%), better waterproofness (200%), and stronger breathablity (25%).

Modification of silica gel by butanedioic anhydride (SiO 2 –BDAH) results in efficient adsorbents for removal of U(VI), Th(IV), and Eu(III) from aqueous solutions. SiO 2 –BDAH was characterized by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, thermogravimetic analysis, and potentiometric titration. The effect of contact time, pH, and initial concentration of radioactive solutions and temperature on the adsorption capacity of the sorbent was investigated. The sorption equilibrium times of U(VI), Th(IV), and Eu(III) onto SiO 2 –BDAH were 1.5, 2, and about 10 h. The sorption percentages of U(VI), Th(IV), and Eu(III) increased with increased pH from 1 to 5. The sorption process of U(VI), Th(IV), and Eu(III) can be described by the Langmuir model, with sorption capacities of 5.10 × 10 −5 , 5.06 × 10 −5 , and 3.44 × 10 −5 mol/L, respectively. The enthalpy and entropy changes were all positive, whereas the free energy changes were negative. This study indicated that SiO 2 –BDAH can remove U(VI) and Th(IV) at the same time in the presence of multiple ions from waste water quickly.

We have synthesized a kind of cyano-substituted oligo( p -phenylene) hybrid materials by Knoevenagel condensation reaction, which can be used as ratiometric relative humidity (RH) sensor. When the RH increased from 5 % to 90 %, the maximum emission peak of C1-3/SG gradually redshifted from 530 nm to 575 nm with the fluorescence changed from green to orange. This phenomenon can be attributed to the water vapor induced aggregation of dyes on the matrix. The non-covalent force between the dyes and the silica gel could be adjusted by altering the structures of the dyes, and the RH sensing property of the final hybrid materials could be further regulated. R2-3/SG hybrid fabricated by R2 with large steric isooctyl groups possessed indiscernible RH sensing properties, while the R1-3/SG without hydrogen bond interactions between dyes and substrate was more susceptible to water vapor. The surface properties and specific surface area of the substrate were critical for RH sensing. RH sensing properties were not presented for the substrates without hydroxyl groups or low specific surface area such as PET or PP fibers. Moreover, we have prepared a kind of C1 loaded paper strips, which exhibited potentially ability in anticounterfeiting application.

The poor aqueous stability of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) limits their electrochemical applications. Herein, we reported a waterproof and conductive silica gel shell encapsulating CsPbBr 3 NCs, enhancing its aqueous stability and radiative-charge-transfer efficiency. Upon introducing small volume of CsBr aqueous solution in hexane containing tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and Cs 4 PbBr 6 NCs, the conversion reaction of Cs 4 PbBr 6 → CsPbBr 3 +3CsBr was triggered to form Cs 4 PbBr 6 @CsPbBr 3 @silica gel (CsBr) hybrid. The silica gel shell can block the contact between CsPbBr 3 NCs and bulk aqueous phase. The CsBr enclosed in the silica gel can reduce the conversion rate and increase dramatically the electrical conductivity of the silica gel. The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of CsPbBr 3 NCs in aqueous phase was enhanced greatly. The strong ECL of CsPbBr 3 NCs in the hybrid was still observed after stored in CsBr solution for 30 day. The as-obtained perovskite hybrid displays improved electrochemical charge-injecting performance and radiative-charge-transfer in ECL. Annihilation ECL demonstrates that all the electrons injected onto the perovskite hybrid can recombine with the holes injected onto it for light-emitting. Both annihilation and co-reactant ECL, as well as photoluminescence reveal that encapsulating CsPbBr 3 NCs into a conductive and waterproof silica gel shell is favorable to enhance aqueous performance of perovskite NCs with negligible effects on their excited states. The ECL of the core-shell perovskite hybrid was applied to detect dopamine in the concentration range of 0.01–10 μM, with the limit of detection of 3 nM.

In recent years, machine learning (ML) has been extensively attempted on all sections in development of functional materials such as material discovery, determination of experimental factors for the discovered materials, and tuning experimental factors to produce the selected materials. Design of experiment (DoE) and response surface methodology (RSM) are efficient strategies to screen experimental factors and study the correlation between material property and experimental factors. Usually, second order quadratic model is applied to construct the response surface. ML-based models, such as Gaussian process and neural networks, have also be implemented into the RSM. In this work, a ML model based on support vector machine (SVM) was built to analyze the high-throughput experimental data from DoE. Silica xerogel was chosen as a model material, the goal was to control the diversity of the silanol groups on the surfaces of silica. Silica samples were prepared following the central composite design (CCD) in a segmented continuous flow reactor. Sodium silicate and CO 2 were used as the raw materials. Both quadratic model and SVM model were studied on the analysis of experimental data. SVM model showed better performance in fitting and predicting, which was attributed to the advantage of handling complex nonlinear correlations. Based on the response surface generated by the SVM model, correlations between experimental factors and diversity of silanol groups were identified. With the guidance of the SVM model, two samples with desired silica surface properties were prepared and attempted as supporting material s for heterogeneous catalysis. The impact of surface silanol groups on the catalytic performance was discussed.

The emerging of ionic liquids (ILs) provides a promising way to efficiently separate ammonia (NH 3 ) and simultaneously recover NH 3 due to their negligible volatility, good affinity with NH 3 and designable structures. However, the relatively high viscosities of ILs and the limited gas-liquid interface severely affect gas diffusion in ILs, which hinders their practical use in industries. In this work, in order to overcome the mass-transfer limitations of ILs in gas separation, three metal ILs (MILs), [Bmim] 2 [CuCl 4 ], [Bmim] 2 [NiCl 4 ] and [Bmim] 2 [Co(NCS) 4 ], with good affinity toward NH 3 were incorporated into porous silica gels with large surface area and abundant hydroxyl groups, by an impregnation-vaporization method to form novel MIL@silica gel composites for rapid, efficient and reversible adsorption of NH 3 . The FT-IR and BET results indicated that the prepared adsorbents with different loadings of MILs are mesoporous composites. The [Bmim] 2 [Co(NCS) 4 ]@silica gel composites not only show much higher NH 3 capacity and NH 3 selectivity than pristine silica gel and faster adsorption rate than the corresponding pure MILs, but also exhibit excellent reversibility. The highest capacity of NH 3 adsorption up to 99.808 mg NH 3 ·(g adsorbent) −1 in 15 min was obtained when the loading of [Bmim] 2 [Co(NCS) 4 ] in the MIL@silica gel composite was 48.89 wt%, which could be attributed to the synergistic interaction of the complexation and hydrogen bonding between cobalt coordinated anion and NH 3 as well as mesoporous structures. Moreover, the NH 3 absorbed by the [Bmim] 2 [Co(SCN) 4 ]@silica gel can be completely released in 15 min, and no obvious losses in NH 3 capacity were detected during five adsorption and regeneration cycles, indicating great potentials as adsorbents for NH 3 separation applications.

Volatile methylsiloxanes (VOSiC) are impurities present in trace amounts in biogas produced by the anaerobic digestion of organic wastes in landfill and sewage plants. Efficient removal of these impurities is required due to the restrictions posed by them on the application of biogas as an alternative energy resource. In this study, methyl-functionalised silica gels (MFS) have been prepared via a hydrolysis and condensation approach using double precursor (TEOS and MTS) in methanol–water medium for achieving effective removal of a model VOSiC - hexamethyldisiloxane (L2). The developed gels have been characterized by N 2 -BET, FTIR, SEM-EDS and XRD. The results reveal that the as-synthesized MFS materials have well-developed micropore structure and superhydrophobicity. Among the developed materials, MFS2 sample obtained with a MTS/TEOS ratio of 1/1 ( v/v ) exhibits the highest specific surface area (1261.3 m 2 g −1 ), micropore volume (0.52 cm 3 g −1 ) and total pore volume (1.03 cm 3 g −1 ), along with superior water contact angle (123.5°). The non-crystalline nature and sponge-like structure of MFS are confirmed by XRD and SEM analyses. The adsorptive performance of MFS materials for L2 siloxane is measured to be 14.9–18.3 times higher than that of the unmodified silica in terms of the breakthrough adsorption capacity ( Q B ). Also, the adsorption capacities of MFS materials are noted to be linearly related to the specific surface area and micropore volume, along with positively affected by the total pore volume and water contact angle. From a series of the experimental results of adsorption of L2 by MFS2, an empirical equation is developed for reflecting the correlation of the breakthrough time and inlet concentration. Use of lower temperature is concluded to result in better overall siloxane adsorption levels. The Q B reaches an optimal value of 346.3 mg L2 g −1 at 0 °C using 83.82 mg L −1 of L2 with N 2 as the carrier gas. The developed MFS adsorbent can be readily regenerated for reuse by heating at 80 °C, and an insignificant fluctuation in the dynamic adsorption behavior is observed even after consecutive 5 adsorption/desorption cycles.

Solid-state graphene oxide (GO) homogeneously incorporated silica gel glasses have been successfully fabricated, and the good nonlinear optical (NLO) response shown indicates its high potential as the optical limiting material to protect optical detectors and human eyes from damage caused by high power lasers. The GO sheets are covalently functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and connected to the silica glass matrix through Si–O bonding, resulting in an increase in GO incorporation concentration up to 20.2 mol % (C/SiO2) without reaching the saturation limit. Digital images and element mapping analysis of carbon have confirmed the homogeneous dispersion of GO in the silica gel glass. Because of the higher two-photon absorption coefficient, lower NLO starting threshold, and optical limiting threshold shown at 532 nm wavelength, the NLO performance at this wavelength is better than at 1064 nm. At an input fluence as low as 1.3 J cm–2 at 532 nm and 2.3 J cm–2 at 1064 nm, the glass incorporated with 5.1 mol % GO starts to exhibit an NLO response, suggesting its potential as a laser optical limiting absorber. In addition to the discussion of the probable reasons behind the phenomenon, it has been demonstrated for the first time that the NLO performance of GO in solid-state silica gel glass is stronger than in deionized water.

In this work, in situ sol–gel strategy was used to introduce silica gel in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane pores, by which the pore structure of organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane prepared with thermal crosslinking was maintained well. The chemical structure, microstructure and morphology changes of membrane during sol–gel and thermal crosslinking were systematically studied by FTIR, XPS, XRD and SEM. Benefitting from the introduction of silica gel, the fusion of membrane pore structure during thermal crosslinking was effectively inhibited by supporting the pore with silica gel. Therefore, the permeances of the thermally crosslinked membranes supported by in situ silica gel were greatly improved. Furthermore, the thermally crosslinked membrane showed excellent stability of OSN performance due to the generated ladder structure of membrane during thermal crosslinking. This work showed that in situ silica gel supporting is a promising strategy to stabilize the pore structure of PAN membrane during thermal crosslinking.

Low temperature tolerance of aqueous sodium ion batteries (ASIBs) represents a high challenge, eventhough ASIBs are attractive for large scale energy-storage application due to their high safety, low cost and environmental friendliness. For the first time, this work reports a Na 2 SO 4 -SiO 2 hydrogel type electrolyte operated at low temperature as -30℃ using fumed silica as the gel matrix and methyl alcohol as the anti-freezing additive. Due to the inter-molecular bonding between SiO 2 and Na 2 SO 4 , the precipitation of Na 2 SO 4 and the continue growth of the Na 2 SO 4 grain in supersaturated electrolyte is highly suppressed at low temperature. The Na 2 SO 4 -SiO 2 hydrogel electrolyte possesses a high ionic conductivity as 0.070 mS cm −1 at -30℃. An aqueous sodium ion cell with the as-proposed SiO 2 Na 2 SO 4 hydrogel electrolyte has been developed based on active carbon (AC) as the cathode and carbon coated NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NTP@C) as the anode. At -30℃, the cell possesses a reversible capacity of 61.8 mAh g −1 (based on NTP@C) at a current density as 0.13 A g −1 (0.13 mA cm −2 ) with a high cycling stability. This work provides a new path for the development of aqueous sodium ion batteries for low temperature operation.
