A novel core–shell–shell SiO2@CePO4:Tb@SiO2 submicro-sphere was controllably synthesized by a bridging ligand organosilane HOOCC6H4N(CONH(CH2)3Si(OCH2CH3)3)2 (MABA-Si) connecting the silica core and rare earth ions. The as-synthesized samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). It is found that SiO2@CePO4:Tb@SiO2 has a ∼25 nm outermost shell, a ∼4 nm intermediate shell, and a ∼200 nm core. SiO2@CePO4:Tb@SiO2 exhibits stable photoluminescence properties in aqueous solution: its photoluminescence intensity was unquenched even after 15 days. The core–shell–shell submicro-spheres were found to have better photoluminescence than the core–shell submicro-spheres because the SiO2 shell protected the phosphor materials and then improved its photoluminescence intensity and biocompatibility. A formation mechanism of the core–shell–shell SiO2@CePO4:Tb@SiO2 submicro-spheres was proposed. Thus, the low-cost preparation of the core–shell–shell SiO2@CePO4:Tb@SiO2 submicro-spheres could be rationally achieved using SiO2.

CO 2 hydrogenation is one of the reactions to realize effective utilization of CO 2 , while Cu-Zn based catalyst is widely adopted for CO 2 hydrogenation to value-added chemicals like methanol. However, this process is less efficient since the poor performance of catalyst due to its poor dispersion or sintering issue. In this study, three kinds of SiO 2 supports (SBA-15, MCM-41 and Nano-SiO 2 ) with different porous structure were conducted to load same amount of 5.0 wt% Cu-ZnO active component (the molar ratio of Cu/Zn is 2.0), which were further applied for CO 2 hydrogenation. All catalysts were characterized chemically, morphologically and structurally by different techniques such as XRD , BET, TEM , H 2 -TPR and CO 2 -TPD. The results showed that the structure of three catalysts was basically preserved and the surface aera kept stable after loading active component, while the active component had the best dispersion when SBA-15 was used as the support and space-time yield of methanol is about 705.6 g MeOH •kg Cu −1 •h −1 ,which is higher than that of Nano-SiO 2 -5% (532.9 g MeOH •kg Cu −1 •h −1 ) and MCM-41–5% (213.2 g MeOH •kg Cu −1 •h −1 ). Due to the confined effect of mesoporous channel structure provided by SBA-15 support, the Cu-Zn interaction could be significantly enhanced with increasement of medium and strong alkaline sites, further improving CO 2 activation ability. This work provides a useful strategy to improve the catalytic efficiency of classical Cu-Zn catalyst for the CO 2 hydrogenation process.

SiO2@GdPO4:Tb@SiO2 nanoparticles with core-shell-shell structure were successfully synthesized by a cheap silane coupling agent grafting method at room temperature. This method not only homogeneously coated rare-earth phosphate nanoparticles on the surface of silica spheres but also saved the use of rare-earth resources. The obtained nanoparticles consisted of SiO2 core with a diameter of approximately 210 nm, GdPO4:Tb intermediate shell with thickness of approximately 7 nm, and SiO2 outer shell with thickness of approximately 20 nm. This unique core-shell-shell structured nanoparticles exhibited strong luminescence properties compared with GdPO4:Tb nanoparticles. The core-shell-shell structured nanoparticles can effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of bovine serum albumin through a static quenching mode. The as-synthesized nanoparticles show great potential in biological cell imaging and cancer treatment.

In this study, the core/shell/shell-structured SiO 2 /YPO 4 :Nd/SiO 2 composite microspheres with near-infrared luminescence property were prepared by sol-gel method. The morphology and structure of the as-prepared microspheres were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). These tests show that the composite microspheres have a sandwich structure. The diameter of the core SiO 2 microspheres is ~ 220 nm, the intermediate layer thickness of rare-earth phosphate is ~ 5 nm, and the outer SiO 2 layer is ~ 20 nm thick. The core/shell/shell microspheres are emitted at 1063 nm in the near-infrared region, which attributes to optical transparent windows of biological tissues. Meanwhile, the interaction between the composite microspheres and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated. The results showed that the composite microspheres could quench the emission intensity of BSA by binding the tryptophan residues in BSA. The synthesized core/shell/shell composite microspheres may be used as near-infrared luminescence probes in the field of biological tissue imaging.

A series of non-precious bimetallic NiM x /SiO 2 (M = Zn or Co) catalysts with a fixed Ni loading of 5 wt% and different molar ratios of M/Ni (0.004–1.97) were prepared by glucose pyrolysis and applied to the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene. The properties of the catalysts were characterized by N 2 physisorption, CO chemisorption, ICP-OES, TGA, XRD, HRTEM, XPS, and DRIFTS. The activity and selectivity of the bimetallic catalysts could be tuned by varying the Zn/Ni and Co/Ni molar ratios, which were almost independent of the metal particle size (with a similar size of 4.1–5.5 nm), but predominantly determined by the geometric and/or electronic effects of the catalysts. Among all the catalysts studied, NiZn 0.05 /SiO 2 and NiCo 0.09 /SiO 2 presented higher selectivity to styrene (86.3% and 88.0%, respectively) at above 99% conversion of phenylacetylene. The high selectivity of the former was attributed to the geometric and electronic effects of the Ni–Zn alloy, while the latter was due to the geometric effect caused by the addition of Co. The activity and selectivity of NiCo 0.09 /SiO 2 were maintained during six consecutive cycles, indicating its good stability in the selective hydrogenation of phenylacetylene.

In contemporary times, radar and infrared-compatible stealth materials have emerged as a pivotal domain of research globally, aimed at augmenting the survivability of military assets. However, current candidates generally exhibit subpar compatibility performance in elevated temperature environments due to the imbalanced interplay between the two spectral bands. In this work, a meticulously designed sandwich-structure SiO 2 /C@SiC/SiO 2 composite is proposed to cope with the challenge. The middle layer of C@SiC composites possesses excellent microwave absorption performance even at high temperatures. The outer layers of SiO 2 aerogels serve not only to inhibit the infrared radiation intensity, but also reinforce the microwave absorption capacity by optimizing the impedance matching and reducing the heat transferred to the middle layer. Based on the numerical simulation outcomes, the thickness of each layer has been optimized to attain a harmonious balance between microwave absorption and infrared radiation properties. Ultimately, the sandwich structured SiO 2 /C@SiC/SiO 2 composites demonstrate low RL (reflection loss) values (←5 dB) across nearly the entire X band (8–12 GHz), alongside minimal surface temperatures hovering ≈44 °C at an ambient temperature of 200 °C. The comprehensive investigation into impact patterns and underlying mechanisms offers invaluable insights to develop radar and infrared-compatible stealth materials for high-temperature applications, which can be applied as stealth coatings on the skin of high Mach number aircraft.

Recently, superficially porous particles (SPPs) have been intensively studied and employed for highly efficient and fast separations. In this paper, the SiO 2 @SiO 2 SPPs were synthesized by an improved polymerization-induced colloid aggregation (PICA) method using urea-formaldehyde polymer as the template. The agglomeration of silica core during modification with ureidopropyltrimethoxysilane (UPS) can not only be avoided by reflux in neutral ethanol solution, but also the secondary nucleation of the colloidal silica sol can be inhibited via optimizing the reaction conditions including pH, temperature, colloidal silica sol concentration and the reaction time. The shell thickness and pore size of SPPs can be controlled successfully by adjusting the weight ratio of silica core/colloidal silica sol and the particle size of colloidal silica sol, respectively. The SPP-C18 columns packed using octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODS) modified SPPs with different pore sizes were employed to separate small solutes and proteins. The baseline separations of 6 kinds of alkyl benzenes and 5 kinds of aromatic alcohol homologues were achieved within 4 min by the SPP-C18 column with 8 nm pore size. Compared with the commercial BEH-C18 column, more than 50,000/m of the plate number of propylbenzene was obtained, and the former provided higher column efficiency to separate small solutes than the latter. Meanwhile, 6 kinds of proteins were also separated completely within 2 min using the SPP-C18 column with 40 nm pore size. In addition, the SPP-C18 capillary column was applied to separate and identify the BSA/HeLa/mouse liver digests with capillary LC-MSMS, respectively. The results indicate that more proteins and peptides can be identified using SPP-C18 capillary column compared with commercial silica-C18 capillary column. The result demonstrates that the prepared SPP-C18 column provides higher column efficiency and the SPPs synthesized with the improved PICA method shows a great potential application for the fast separation of small solutes and proteins.

The SiO 2 @SiO 2 :Tb(1,2-BDC) 3 phen microspheres with monodispersed core-shell structure, are kind of fluorescent particles, which are prepared by a seeded growth method under the catalysis of glacial acetic acid (1,2-BDC, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid; phen, 1,10-phenanthroline). Firstly, silica seed was fabricated by the hydrolysis of ethyl orthosilicate, and the Tb(1,2-BDC) 3 phen was prepared by using 1,2-BDC and phen. Then, a thin mesoporous silica shell doped with Tb(1,2-BDC) 3 phen was grown on the prepared monodisperse silica colloids. The prepared phosphor was analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that the diameter of the SiO 2 @SiO 2 :Tb((1,2-BDC) 3 phen microsphere was about 200 nm with a typical core-shell structure, among which the diameter of the silica core was 180 nm, and that of the mesoporous silicon shell doped with terbium complex was about 10 nm. The fluorescence intensity of SiO 2 @SiO 2 :Tb((1,2-BDC) 3 phen microsphere is nearly three times higher than that of Tb((1,2-BDC) 3 phen complexes. The prepared microspheres could be widely used in bio-imaging, optoelectronic appliances and medical diagnosis.

Oil-water emulsion separation could improve the efficiency of oil resources and reduce environmental pollution. The efficiency of oil-water separation was directly affected by the surface hydrophobicity of the membrane and its reliability and reusability. Therefore, the construction of a reliable and reusable super-hydrophobic surface was very important. In this research, the EFM with sandwich structure of PS-SiO 2 -PVAc-SiO 2 was easily fabricated by a three times liquid phase induction process and heat treatment. The PS-SiO 2 -PVAc-SiO 2 EFM was first formed by a triple liquid phase induction process, then the EFM was heat-treated, the PVAc, which is a heat-sensitive material, resulting in SiO 2 nanoparticles being welded onto PS fibers. The rolling contact angle experiment at an inclination of 8° proved that the PS-SiO 2 -PVAc-SiO 2 EFM has super-hydrophobic properties. Meanwhile, the PS-SiO 2 -PVAc-SiO 2 EFM showed excellent stability and reliability of super-hydrophobic properties after the EFM was washed or taped. In addition, the PS-SiO 2 -PVAc-SiO 2 EFM had self-cleaning function and fine oil-water separation property. The oil-water separation efficiency was over 99.50 % and the flow rate was 68 L/m 2 h. After 5 times of oil-water separation, the flux and separation efficiency did not decrease significantly, which proved that the PS-SiO 2 -PVAc-SiO 2 EFM could be reusable.

Humidity sensing and water molecule monitoring have become hot research topics attributed to their potential applications in monitoring breathing/physiological conditions of humans, air conditioning in greenhouses, and soil moisture in agriculture. However, there is a huge challenge for highly sensitive and precision humidity detection with wireless and fast responsive capabilities. In this work, a hybrid/synergistic strategy was proposed using a LiNbO3/SiO2/SiC heterostructure to generate shear-horizontal (SH) surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and using a nanocomposite of polyethylenimine-silicon dioxide nanoparticles (PEI-SiO2 NPs) to form a sensitive layer, thus achieving an ultrahigh sensitivity of SAW humidity sensors. Ultrahigh frequencies (1∼15 GHz) of SAW devices were obtained on a high-velocity heterostructure of LiNbO3/SiO2/SiC. Among the multimodal wave modes, we selected SH waves for humidity sensing and achieved a high mass-sensitivity of 5383 MHz · mm2 · μg–1. With the PEI-SiO2 NP composite as the sensitive layer, an ultrahigh sensitivity of 2.02 MHz/% RH was obtained, which is two orders of magnitude higher than those of the conventional SAW humidity sensors (∼202.5 MHz frequency) within a humidity range of 20–80% RH.

Hierarchical structured ZnFe2O4@SiO2@RGO core–shell nanocomposites were prepared via a “coating–coating” route, and its structure, composition and electromagnetic properties were characterized. Compared with the binary composites of ZnFe2O4@SiO2, the hierarchical ZnFe2O4@SiO2@RGO ternary composites exhibited enhanced electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption properties in terms of the effective bandwidth and minimum reflection loss (RL). Furthermore, EMW absorption properties of the prepared samples can be tuned by changing RGO content and thickness of SiO2 layer to reach the best impedance match. The minimum RL of the sample with a thickness of 2.8 mm can reach −43.9 dB at 13.9 GHz, and its effective bandwidth (RL ≤ −10 dB) was up to 6 GHz. Hence, the obtained products can be a new candidate for lightweight EMW absorbing materials.

Perovskites have gained significant attention due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the poor stability of perovskites hinders their practical applications. To address this issue, we propose a facile approach to synthesize stable CsPbBr3 nanomaterials by embedding them into a SiO2 matrix followed by an in situ PbSO4 shell coating on their surfaces. After the encapsulation, the CsPbBr3@PbSO4/SiO2 powder exhibits high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, ∼85%) due to reduced defects. Most importantly, the CsPbBr3@PbSO4/SiO2 powder shows robust stability under many harsh conditions, such as maintaining its PL in water (for 1 year), concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) aqueous solution and hydrobromic acid (HBr) aqueous solution (for 25 days), boiling water (for 24 h), high temperature (500 °C for 24 h), and light irradiation (365 nm for 3 months). This work not only provides a strategy for the facile preparation of ultrastable and efficient perovskites but also shows great potential for practical applications such as solid lighting and backlight displays.
