The formation of CaTiO3 during the electro-reduction of TiO2 pellets in CaCl2-based molten salts is unavoidable. So in present paper, the electro-deoxidation of porous CaTiO3 pellets was investigated. Cyclic voltammetry and constant potential electrolysis experiments were conducted to gain insight into the electro-deoxidation mechanism. From the results, two new reduction pathways of the porous CaTiO3 pellets were determined. The main factor influencing the reduction pathways is the porosity. When the porosity is low, CaTiO3 is directly reduced into TiO. With the porosity increases, some CaTiO3 will firstly be reduced into CaTi2O4 and then the CaTi2O4 is further reduced into TiO. The effect of the potential applied on the cathode on the possible reduction limit of the sample was discussed. The results indicated that the more negative the potential is, the faster the deoxidation rate is and the lower the deoxidation limit is. Only when the applied potential is more negative than −1.6 V vs Ag+/Ag, low-oxygen titanium (the oxygen content is lower than 1%) can be obtained in our experimental conditions. In addition, the microstructural kinetics of phase transformations during reduction of the CaTiO3 pellets were also discussed.

Blood purification by adsorption of excessive biomolecules is vital for maintaining human health. Here, inspired by kidney self-purification, which removes a number of biomolecules with different sizes simultaneously, hierarchical molecular-imprinted inverse opal particles integrated with a herringbone microfluidic chip for efficient biomolecules cleaning are presented. The particle possesses combinative porous structure with both surface and interior imprints for the specific recognition of small molecules and biomacromolecules. Additionally, the presence of the herringbone mixer largely improve the adsorption efficiency due to enhanced mixing. Moreover, the inverse opal framework of the particles give rise to optical sensing ability for self-reporting of the adsorption states. These features, together with its reusability, biosafety, and biocompatibility, make the platform highly promising for clinical blood purification and artificial kidney construction.

Biochar adsorbents for removing As(III) suffer from the problems of low adsorption capacity and ineffective removal. Herein, a granular MgO-embedded biochar (g-MgO-Bc) adsorbent is fabricated in the form of millimeter-sized particles through a simple gelation-calcination method using chitosan as biochar sources. High-density MgO nanoparticles are evenly dispersed throughout the biochar matrix and can be fully exposed to As(III) through the rich pores in g-MgO-Bc. These features endow the adsorbent with a high adsorption capacity of 249.1 mg/g for As(III). The g-MgO-Bc can efficiently remove As(III) over a wide pH of 3–10. The coexisting carbonate, nitrate, sulfate, silicate, and humic acid exert a negligible influence on As(III) removal. 300 μg/L of As(III) can be purified to far below 10 μg/L using only 0.3 g/L g-MgO-Bc. The spent g-MgO-Bc could be well regenerated by simple calcination . In fixed-bed column experiments, the effective treatment volume of As(III)-spiked groundwater achieves 1500 BV (30 L) (3 g of adsorbent, solution flow rate of 2.0 mL/min, C 0 = 50 μg/L). The Mg(OH) 2 generated in situ in g-MgO-Bc is responsible for the adsorption of As(III) through the inner-sphere complex mechanism. The work would extend the potential applicability of biochar adsorbent for As(III) removal to a great extent.

Superficially porous particles (SPPs) demonstrate superior efficiency than totally porous particles in chiral separations. In order to obtain high efficiency and fast separation, sub-2 μm SPPs with high surface area are synthesized, and with teicoplanin bonded, such materials are successfully applied into the rapid enantioseparation of native amino acids. In brief, 1.27 ± 0.06 μm nonporous silica particles are prepared by a modified seeded growth method, followed by mesoporous shell fabrication via one-pot templated dissolution and redeposition strategy, and pore size expansion via acid-refluxing. The diameter of the formed SPPs is 1.49 ± 0.04 μm, with the shell thickness as 206 nm. Nitrogen physisorption experiments show that the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area is 213.6 m 2 /g and pore size is 9 nm. After teicoplanin derivatization with bonding capacity as 83.3 μmol/g, the prepared chiral stationary phase is packed into a stainless steel tube with the geometry of 50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d.. In less than 6.4 min, six native amino acids (norleucine, alanine, valine, methionine, leucine, norvaline) are enantioseparated with resolution factors ranging from 1.9 to 5.0. Besides, the resolution for chiral separation is improved with ethanol-water instead of methanol-water as the mobile phase. Moreover, the low temperature gives higher resolution, but longer retention time and higher backpressure. Finally, the effect of flow rate on enantiomeric separation is studied and fast chiral separation within 1 min is obtained with flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. All these results show that the synthesized teicoplanin bonded sub-2 μm SPPs have great potential to achieve the enantioseparation of native amino acids with high resolution and rapid speed.

Structured fluids are attractive in material science owing to their softness, variability and excellent solubility. Anisotropic emulsions, with droplets composed by structured multiple phases, are a new class of colloidal materials due to their distinct advantages of chemical encapsulation and geometry variation. High uniformity of internal droplet structure is the premise of advanced application. A fabrication approach is investigated by combination of vortex mixing and phase separation (VP), i.e. homogenous emulsion is produced by vortex mixing two immiscible oils using a volatile co-solvent and then anisotropic emulsion is obtained by phase separation induced by the spontaneous volatilizing of co-solvent. Uniformity of droplet structure in binary, ternary and even quaternary systems is systematically studied. Numerical calculations of evaporation based on three-phase diagram are performed to illustrate the kinetic process of droplet compartmentalization . In addition, the uniform droplets are applied as templates to fabricate anisotropic porous particles. Uniformity of droplet geometry is witnessed by the standard deviation reduced more than ten times. Higher order structures including two-face Janus, three-face Cerberus, and even four faces verify the university of VP strategy. Nucleation, coalescence, Ostwald ripening, and phase separation are the main procedures of droplet compartmentalization, which is controllable based the phase diagram. Anisotropic porous particles fabricated show the significant advantages of uniform morphology and flexible regulation. The strategy would propel the application of anisotropic emulsions in fields of material synthesis, drug release, and micro-reactors.

Oil-in-oil emulsions are ideal systems for water-sensitive reactions such as polymerizations and catalytic reactions , which has received extensive attention in recent years. The application of oil-in-oil emulsions has been developed slowly due to the limited types of surfactants and complicated synthesis process. Herein, we proposed a simple method to prepare poly(amide-thioether)-based surfactant for oil-in-oil emulsions via taking advantage of single-pot multicomponent and click characters of thiolactone chemistry. Using a combination of alkyl amine and acrylamide thiolactone, the aminolysis of thiolctone occurred first, generating thiol group in-situ, and then the generated thiol group would sequentially react with the double bonds of acrylamide to form polythioether in the presence of amine. The hydrophobicity of the surfactant could be effectively adjusted by the chain length of the alkyl amine and thus this polymer could serve as a promising surfactant for oil-in-oil emulsion. Notably, the emulsion types could be switched by changing the chain length of the alkyl amine. In addition, the effects of surfactant loading, volume ratio of oil phases, oil types on the size and stability of oil-in-oil emulsions were further investigated. It was demonstrated that the oil-in-oil emulsion stabilized by poly(amide-thioether)s kept stable after more than five months. Besides, we preliminarily explored the application of the oil-in-oil emulsion to prepare closed cell foam and porous particles via photo-initiated thiol-ene polymerization. It is believed that this super-stable oil-in-oil emulsion could offer more possibilities for highly potential water-sensitive systems.

Metallopolymers combine the property features of both metallic compounds and organic polymers, representing a typical direction for the design of high-performance hybrid materials. Here, a highly adaptive etching method to create pores and cavities in the metallopolymer particles is established. Starting from boronate polymer (BP) and inorganic@BP core–shell particles, porous, hollow, and yolk–shell metallopolymer particles can be fabricated, respectively. By taking advantage of the easy control over composition and pore/cavity structure, these metallopolymer particles provide a universal platform for the fabrication of nitrogen, boron co-doped carbon nanocomposites loaded with metals (M-NBCs). The as-prepared M-NBCs exhibit remarkable catalytic activities toward oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction. An alkaline overall water splitting cell assembled by using M-NBCs as the anode and cathode can be driven by a single AAA battery. The proposed strategy for the construction of metallopolymer composites may enlighten for the design of complex hybrid nanomaterials.

The wet environment of water or tissue in bleeding wounds poses significant challenges to the adhesion performance of existing hemostatic adhesives. An intelligent composite adhesive prepared by doping starch-based silicate micro-nanograded porous particles (MBC@CMS) with dopamine-hyperbranched polymers (HPD, 7800 Mw) synthesized by the Michael addition reaction could be triggered by water to form a glue (MBC@CMS-HPD). The results indicated that MBC@CMS-HPD could still have adhesion properties under running water washing and water immersion and could effectively seal the water outlet. The results of the glue-forming mechanism showed that MBC@CMS-HPD had better wettability than water, which could eliminate water molecules at the wet adhesive surface. When contacted with water, the agglomeration of the HPD hydrophobic chain increases the exposure of the catechol group, and the relative atomic mass of the N element on the surface increases from 2.8 to 4.8%. The adhesion of MBC@CMS-HPD was enhanced and stable. MBC@CMS-HPD showed significant hemostasis effects in five injury bleeding models of Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats and New Zealand rabbits. Especially in the fatal femoral artery bleeding model of New Zealand rabbits, MBC@CMS-HPD reduced the amount of bleeding by 75% and shortened the bleeding time by 78% compared with the a-cyanoacrylate adhesives. The results of the coagulation mechanism showed that compared with HPD, MBC@CMS-HPD could activate both endogenous and exogenous coagulation pathways. Among them, after contact with blood, HPD formed a gel to close the blood outlet, and MBC@CMS entered the wound to activate the internal and external coagulation pathways. In addition, HPD and MBC@CMS had good histocompatibility and degradability, which has the potential to be applied to different wounds.

A novel method for reliable on-site characterization of aromatic compounds adsorbed on porous particles with surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in a dynamic adsorption-hydrocyclone separation process (DAHS) was introduced. Aromatic compounds found in printing and dyeing wastewater were adsorbed on functionalized porous alumina particles (FPAPs). The SERS-active FPAPs were prepared by decorating and growing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs, ∼70 nm diameter) on the surface of porous alumina particles (PAPs). Samples were then characterized with a portable Raman spectrometer. SERS offers quantitative analyses of the pollutants adsorbed on the surface of FPAPs directly and the quantity of benzidine adsorbed on porous particles was 20.5 mg kg−1. It shows that the SERS-DAHS technique could be readily applied to the quantitative characterization of aromatic compounds adsorbed on SERS-active FPAPs. Furthermore, both qualitative and quantitative detection of aromatic compounds in wastewater produced on-site were readily accomplished using the SERS-DAHS method and its analytical ability compares well with GC-MS and the detection results deviating between these two techniques was less than 10%. The results demonstrate that the SERS-DAHS method is straightforward, rapid, and preferable for the real-time detection and quantitative characterization of aromatic compounds/pollutants adsorbed on porous materials.
