The development of advanced luminescent materials is highly desirable for developing the energy-efficient lighting technology. However, it is still challenging to achieve stable full-color tuning in the same matrix upon a single-beam light excitation so as to ensure the high color stability and consistency. Herein, Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ co-doped sintered nanoporous glass via the dipping strategy is fabricated, which can emit blue, green and red emissions simultaneously by simply modifying the thermal treatment temperature. This full-color tuning is attributed to the dual roles of the thermal reduction of Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ in Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass and simultaneous emissions of Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ activators. The densification of nanoporous glass via sintering could effectively decrease the amount of hydroxyl groups that present in the glass matrix, resulting in 5 times enhancement of the photoluminescence intensity and longer photoluminescence lifetime of rare earth (RE) ions. The thermal reduction of Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ is due to the reduction environment provided by Al 3+ ions in the Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass. The energy transfer (ET) from Eu 2+ to Tb 3+ , Eu 2+ to Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ to Eu 3+ have been investigated in detail. Based on the ET mechanism, rational PL spectra design was demonstrated by varying the concentration of Eu 3+ ions in solution. The Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) and the Color Rendered Index (CRI) values of the white light emission glass are 7420 K (Cold-white emission) and 80.85, the temperature dependent photoluminescence (TDPL) analysis reflects the white light emission glass possesses high thermal stability and excellent thermal restorability. This facile fabrication and full-color tuning of Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ co-doped sintered nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass may provide a novel luminescent material for white-light emitting diodes (WLEDs) application.

Solid–liquid phase behaviors of the hexadecane–octadecane (n-C16H34–C18H38, C16–C18) system in the bulk, and confined in controlled porous glass (CPG) are investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and temperature-dependent powder X-ray diffraction. Bulk C16–C18 mixtures show the special rotator phase RI, and two intermediate phases with monoclinic (Mdcp) and orthorhombic (Op) structures. Inside CPG (8.1 and 300 nm), the RI and Op phases could be found in wider compositions of the solid mixtures than the bulk, however the Mdcp form was not observed. Unexpectedly, under the confinement of CPG (8.1 nm) not only the rotator RI appeared in the two pure components, C16 and C18, but a rotator phase RII occurred in the pure C18 and most of the mixtures upon heating. These new phase behaviors of the confined alkanes could be attributed to the size effect and the interface interactions. According to XRD analysis, in the small pores of CPG (8.1 nm) the alkane molecules effectively take the 2D arrangements. While in the large pores of CPG (300 nm), they take ordered packing to some extent both in the lamellar and lateral directions.

Porous glass supported with titanium silicalite (TS-1) particles were successfully prepared and used for oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT). Uniform-sized TS-1 particles were homogeneously dispersed on the surface of the porous glass beads. Effects of reaction duration, catalyst content, initial concentration, oxidant amount, and temperature on conversions were investigated. The prepared catalysts showed excellent catalytic performance. The optimal mole ratio of oxidant-to-DBT was 10 or 15. Complete conversion was obtained within 3 min at 343 K using catalyst with Ti content of 0.507 wt.%. Compared with other studies, the space–time yield was increased by one order of magnitude without any addition of solvent or metal nanoparticles. Experimental results and computer simulations revealed that the coordinated state of Ti species has a key role in the catalytic activity. Spent catalyst would be regenerated by heating at high temperature, no decrease was observed in catalytic activity after three cycles.

We have put forward a facile and efficient strategy to immobilize Ni nanoparticles on porous glass by integrating two processes of ion-exchange and reduction in one step. The in situ method avoids the use of high temperature and stabilizers which may reduce catalytic activity. The adsorption process could be described by a Langmuir model with the adsorption capacity of 46.4 ± 0.9 mg/g. Monodispersed Ni nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 1.8 nm showed high catalytic activity for cyclohexene hydrogenation. When the Ni content was 1.144 wt %, 100% conversion was obtained with the space time of only 17.7 s. Notably, the strategy may also be applied to other base metal nanoparticles. Cu and Co nanoparticles with the mean diameter of 5.7 and 3.4 nm were successfully immobilized, respectively. This method may be readily changed to prepare other supported transition-metal nanoparticles with catalytic properties and opens new avenues to coordination catalysis.

In practical use, latent heat storage system always faces a lack of phase change materials (PCMs) that have ideal performance at desirable temperature and high efficiency to treat thermal effects from various outer heat sources. To solve this problem, some new latent heat storage composites were prepared by incorporating those well-performed PCMs in porous materials. In doing this, the layered perovskite-type compounds, (1-C 10 H 21 NH 3 ) 2 ZnCl 4 (C 10 Zn) and (1-C 12 H 25 NH 3 ) 2 ZnCl 4 (C 12 Zn), were embedded in controlled porous glass (CPG), which can acquire size-dependent thermal properties. Heat storage nature, morphology and crystalline structures of the materials were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder X-ray diffractions (XRD). Under confinement of the porous glass with nominal pore sizes of d =12–300 nm, the porous C n Zn compound gains a regulation window of around 10 °C in relation to the bulk by its solid–solid phase transition. The transition temperature ( T d ), depression of the transition temperature (∆ T trs ), and enthalpy change of the transition (∆ trs H d ) of the confined compound show a linear relation to the reverse pore size. A same stable thermal cycling property is observed in the pore compound as the bulk, which is consistent with similar diffraction patterns among them. The supercooling of the pore form becomes larger than the bulk. The retention of the layered structure and complete crystallization in the pore C n Zn is responsible for its reversible heat storage property.

This paper presents a novel immobilization method for the preparation of highly dispersed TiO 2 nanoparticles supported on porous glass beads. The method involves an in situ ion exchange process and a calcination process. Mono-dispersed TiO 2 nanoparticles exhibiting the anatase phase with different mean diameter and different loading amount have been successfully prepared through the controllable and green way. With the increase of loading amount of Ti from 0.08 wt.% to 4.55 wt.%, the mean diameter of the TiO 2 nanoparticles varied from 3.8 to 5.3 nm. And the band gaps of the TiO 2 nanoparticles with the highest and lowest loading amount are 3.25 and 3.00 eV, respectively. The prepared TiO 2 nanoparticles supported on porous glass beads showed excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methyl orange (MO). For the catalyst with a Ti content of 0.08 wt.%, when the dosage was 1.93e−5 g/mL, 65% of the total MO decomposed after 30 min; for the catalyst with a Ti content of 2.56 wt.%, when the dosage reached 0.81e−3 g/mL, complete degradation was observed.

In this work, porous glass beads supported with TS-1 particles have been successfully prepared through in situ crystallization. TS-1 particles with uniform size and high crystallization are well dispersed on the surface of porous glass beads. As the support, porous glass beads exhibit the advantages of more manageable surface chemistry, better chemical and thermal stability, and larger specific surface area compared to that of conventional TS-1 films on flat or tubular supports. The experimental results show that the surface chemistry has profound influence on the morphology of TS-1 particles. The catalytic performance of the material was characterized with the reaction of ammoximation of cyclohexanone. Complete conversion was reached after 20 min in a stirred tank reactor with the selectivity of 100%. Compared with the commercial catalyst, the reaction rate was increased by 54 times. The prepared catalysts were packed in a bed reactor, and the effects of space time, content of catalyst, temperature and pressure were investigated. The conversion of 48.1% was reached by the catalyst with TS-1 loading of 0.183 wt.% at 353 K and the space time of only 1.57 min, and 100% recovery in catalytic activity after 5 cycles was demonstrated.

The confined synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) in solid matrixes is a promising avenue for developing new afterglow materials. Benefiting from the advantages of the sol–gel preparation of nanoporous glass, we report transparent glass-confined CDs with tunable afterglow luminescence. Switchable thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of CDs were achieved by adjusting the sintering temperature and ion doping. Our findings reveal that with an increase in sintering temperature from 500 °C to 600 °C, the energy gap (ΔEST) of CD-nanoporous glass (NG) increased from 0.05 eV to 0.21 eV, while the lifetime increased from 329 ms to 548 ms, which is attributed to the enhanced carbonization degree of the CDs. Pb2+ doping is also shown to achieve switchable TADF and RTP of glass-confined CDs attributed to the alteration of interfacial interactions between the glass and confined CDs. This design concept introduces a new perspective for developing transparent afterglow materials for various unique phosphorescence applications.

Nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses were prepared using a sol–gel method. These sintered nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses have a transmittance greater than 85 % and possess high mechanical strength, enabling them to contain and protect RE ions. Owing to the presence of nanopores in nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses, Eu ions can easily enter the nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses via an ex-situ dipping method. After drying at room temperature (RT) and then heating at 400 °C, 600 °C, 800 °C, and 1200 °C, we obtained a series of Eu doped nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses. The thermal reduction process from Eu 3+ ions to Eu 2+ ions can occur at a lower sintering temperature (400 °C), enabling a detailed analysis of the thermal reduction mechanism at both low and high temperatures in detail. Under the conditions where Al 3+ ions are present in the samples that are under calcination, Eu 2+ -doped nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses are more easily obtained at relatively low temperatures. Owing to the adjustable composition of Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ in the nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glasses, tunable emission from red-orange light to blue-violet light can be achieved in the samples. This new type of transparent Eu-doped NPGs has the advantages of high mechanical strength and good processability and is non-toxic and harmless, thereby showing great potential for use in tunable light sources and LED devices.

A facile and green method to prepare Ce-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles supported on porous glass beads is reported. An ion exchange process and subsequent calcination yielded Ce-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles with a mean size of 4.8 ± 0.3 nm. The nanoparticles were dispersed on the surface of porous glass beads. The addition of Ce enhanced the visible light absorption of the TiO 2 nanoparticles in the 400–500 nm spectral window. The band gap of the as-prepared catalyst was 2.80 eV. The Ce-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles immobilized on porous glass beads exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for the visible-light-degradation of methyl orange (MO) and rhodamine B (RhB); with rate constants of 0.095 and 0.230 min −1 ; respectively. The effects of Ce dosage; reaction duration; and initial solution pH on the conversion of MO and RhB dyes were investigated. The green synthesis and favorable photocatalytic activity makes the Ce-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles immobilized on porous glass an attractive alternative for the efficient degradation of organic pollutants.

The discharge of large-scale industrial solid waste and wastewater has caused severe damage to environmental health. In this study, the adsorption behaviors of Pb(II) and Congo Red (CR) dye in single and binary aqueous systems were investigated using novel functionalized nanoporous glass microspheres (NGM). The NGM material was fabricated from coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) by a simple treatment and characterized using TG, BET, XRD, TEM, FT-IR, and XPS to analyze its physicochemical properties. The adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption amounts of DMA-NGM for Pb(II) and CR were 302.39 mg/g and 342.74 mg/g for the single systems, and 372.73 mg/g and 412.93 mg/g for the binary systems, respectively. The increased adsorption capacity was attributed to the synergistic effect of electrostatic attraction and chelation. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order model and Elovich model could reasonably describe the adsorption of Pb(II) and CR on DMA-NGM. Pb(II) adsorption on DMA-NGM was monolayer adsorption and CR adsorption was multilayer adsorption. In summary, the results demonstrate the potential of efficient and environmentally friendly adsorbents for the resource recovery of CGFS and the processing of printing and dyeing wastewater.

As the energy shortage and environmental problem become the worldwide concern, the green synthesis of catalysts and their green applications have long been pursued. Here we proposed a facile catalyst synthesis approach in which Ag–TiO2 composites were prepared through an in situ reduction at room temperature without severe conditions or hydrogen atmosphere. Porous glass (PG) was chosen as the support, and the as-prepared Ag–TiO2/PG was equipped with the remarkable merits of intense visible light absorbance, effective separation of electron–hole pairs, high surface areas for adsorption, and abundant reactive sites for the photocatalytic oxidation. Conversions of 95.2% and 92.1% for dibenzothiophene (DBT) and benzothiophene (BT), respectively, were realized under irradiation of energy-saving visible light emitting diodes (LEDs), complying with the principles of “green chemistry”. Moreover, none of the external oxidants, such as H2O2 or O2, was introduced, greatly increasing the viability of industrial applications. Ag–TiO2/PG also showed remarkable activity for removing rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), and methylene orange (MO) with the rate constants of 0.14, 0.18, and 0.055 min–1, respectively. The mechanism study revealed that the immobilized Ag acted as the role of “killing two birds with one stone”: enhancing the absorption of visible light, suppressing the recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs via trapping electrons, and contributing to the generation of •O2–. In addition, oxygen vacancies, •OH, and h+ also took part in the photocatalytic oxidation. This work explored the green synthesis of Ag–TiO2/PG and characterized their excellent photocatalytic activity for photocatalytic desulfurization and degradation of organic dyes, opening up new possibilities for low-energy-consumption photocatalysis and sustainable chemistry.
