In this study, a crack-free PDMS–SiO 2 –BiPO 4 (P/Si/Bi) composite was prepared via a solgel-assisted route by dispersing pre-prepared bismuth oxybromide into a solution that was composed of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS–OH), tetraethyl orthosilicate and phosphoric acid. Analysis via the FTIR, XRD, XPS and SEM–EDX techniques demonstrated that the nonisolated BiPO 4 particles with a monoclinic crystal phase were uniformly distributed on the surface of the P/Si/Bi composite, which can provide more active sites and a larger surface area for photocatalysis compared with other materials. The photocatalytic activity of the P/Si/Bi composite loaded with various mass ratios of BiPO 4 (9 wt%, 12 wt%, 18 wt% and 27 wt%) was investigated via the degradation of methylene blue (MB, 10 mg/L) under UV light irradiation. It was found that the P/Si/Bi composite loaded with 18 wt% BiPO 4 realized the highest degradation efficiency of MB, and its corresponding apparent rate constant was approximately 2.2 times that of the PDMS–SiO 2 –TiO 2 composite (loaded with 18 wt% TiO 2 ). The effects of inorganic ions on the degradation of MB were also investigated. The static contact angle and photocatalytic activity of the P/Si/Bi composite changed minimally after five cyclic experiments, thereby demonstrating its remarkable durability in sustainable applications. In addition, the photogenerated reactive species that were responsible for the degradation of MB within the P/Si/Bi composite were identified, and a photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.

In this work, the insulating SiO2 was coated successfully on the surface of reduced iron particles by a sol-gel method to decrease the core loss at low frequency. The scanning electron microscope images and elements analysis confirm that the surface of iron powders particles were covered by a thin insulating layer in the form of uniform core-shell structure. The samples were annealed at 400 °C in N2 atmosphere to obtain better magnetic properties. The annealed SMCs with 10 mL/h dropping rate of TEOS have optimum magnetic properties with low core loss Ps of 280.89 W/kg and high saturation magnetic flux density Bs of 1.038 T at 1000 Hz.

In order to improve the mechanical properties of the SiO 2f /SiO 2 composites, the uniform and complete Al 2 O 3 coatings were prepared on the quartz fibers via sol–gel method with aluminum isopropoxide as the precursor. The thickness of Al 2 O 3 coatings increases with concentration of aluminum isopropoxide precursor solution. The Al 2 O 3 coatings fabricated with 10 wt.% precursor solution were uniform and complete, and its thickness was approximately 430 nm. The SiO 2f /SiO 2 composites with Al 2 O 3 coatings achieve higher mechanical strength compared with the SiO 2f /SiO 2 composites without Al 2 O 3 coatings. The flexural strength of SiO 2f /SiO 2 composites increases with concentration of aluminum isopropoxide precursor solution. And the compressive strength shows a slightly decreasing trend with concentration of aluminum isopropoxide precursor solution. The mechanical performance of the SiO 2f /SiO 2 composites fabricated from fibers coated with 10 wt.% aluminum isopropoxide precursor solution was excellent, and its compressive strength was 57.1 MPa, flexural strength was 28.6 MPa. And the reason was that the Al 2 O 3 coatings effectively enhanced the interface isolation between the fiber and the matrix, optimizes the deflection path of the crack and increased the strength of the SiO 2f /SiO 2 composites. The mechanical strength of SiO 2f /SiO 2 composites with Al 2 O 3 coatings was increased after not only short-term but also long-term heat treatment.

As a cathode material for thermal batteries, NiS 2 has a high theoretical capacity but low thermal stability. Besides, the poor formability of NiS 2 powders also restricts the cathode performance of thermal batteries. In this paper, the novel NiS 2 /SiO 2 composite material was developed by high temperature vulcanization to improve the thermal stability formability of NiS 2 . The good filling and lubrication of spherical SiO 2 can improve the thermal conductivity of NiS 2 electrode. The discharge test shows that the NiS 2 /SiO 2 cathode has a stable discharge voltage at a current density of 200 mA/cm 2 , and the activation time is shortened by nearly 20% compared with the NiS 2 cathode. In addition, due to the favorable thermal insulation protection of SiO 2 , the initial decomposition temperature of NiS 2 is increased by 30 °C after the addition of SiO 2 . The incorporation of SiO 2 not only effectively improves the thermal stability and electrochemical properties of NiS 2 , but also improves the cold pressing forming performance of the NiS 2 powder. Therefore, the novel NiS 2 /SiO 2 composite material is more suitable for thermal batteries with high stability and fast response, which is of great significance for improving the maneuverability and quality reliability of weapons and equipment.

The construction of highly active photocatalysts featuring the merits of high quantum efficiency and superior stability from solid wastes for the photocatalytic degradation of organics remains a great challenge. Herein, an acid leaching and in situ self-assembly strategy was proposed to engineer a series of FeC 2 O 4 /SiO 2 amorphous composites with a Si–O–Fe bridged interpenetrating structure, using copper smelting slag as the only source of Fe and Si. The loaded porous amorphous SiO 2 creates new charge transfer states within the FeC 2 O 4 crystal, and the formed Si–O–Fe bond acts as an electron conduction bridge, extensively promoting charge separation and utilization. The α-FeC 2 O 4 with wider layer spacing was generated under high temperature, which can provide smoother channels for charge transfer. Thus, α-FeC 2 O 4 with higher Si content (α-FOD/Si H ) showed excellent photocatalytic activity, achieving a chlortetracycline hydrochloride removal rate of 91.9 % within 120 min, which is 16.7, 3.8 and 2.0 times faster than copper smelting slag, α-FOD and β-FOD/Si H , respectively. The composite also exhibited remarkable structural stability, with the chlortetracycline hydrochloride removal rates remaining above 85.1 % after five consecutive cycles, ascribed to the interpenetrated SiO 2 structure and the formation of soluble [Fe 3+ -(C 2 O 4 2− ) 2 ] complexes, which greatly reduce iron ions release and prevent the formation of Fe(III) oxide/hydroxide passivation layers. This study provides a new idea for synthesizing highly active and stable FeC 2 O 4 catalysts through a “treat the wastes with wastes” strategy.

CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) have been recognized as potential optoelectronic materials due to their excellent optical characteristics. However, their poor stability limits their further practical application, and research on their stability improvement mainly concentrated on green-emitted CsPbBr3 PNCs. Herein, high-stable red, green, and blue three-primary color CsPbX3-nanocrystal/SiO2 (PNC/SiO2) luminescent composites have been synthesized by a simple high-temperature melt-crystallization method, which did not use any solvent or ligand. The sintering conditions for PNC/SiO2 composites were optimized according to the X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, which ensured the composite structures and achieved higher PL quantum yield. The optimized red, green, and blue composites can remain at 99%, 90%, and 82% PL intensity after 15 heating loops, performing good thermal stability. To check the application potential, the optimized composites were fabricated as red, green, and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), showing high color purity to consist of a wide color gamut. The red, green, and blue LEDs remained at 83%, 82%, and 96% emission intensity and kept their color coordinates after a long working duration, showing excellent stability. The excellent stability and relatively higher color purity of the PNC/SiO2 composites indicate their great potential for commercial background display applications.

Hollow structures in TiO2 materials can enhance the photocatalytic properties by reducing the diffusion length and improving the accessibility of active sites for the reactants. However, existing approaches for preparing hollow TiO2 materials have two drawbacks that restrict their engineering applicability: first, a heavy reliance on templates to form a hollow structure, which makes the preparation laborious, complicated, and costly; second, difficult-to-achieve high crystallization while maintaining the small grain size in calcinated TiO2, which is crucial for enhancing photocatalytic activity. Herein, a simple, effective method is proposed that not only enables the preparation of hybrid TiO2–SiO2 hollow spheres without the template fabrication and removal process via microemulsion technology but also achieves both high crystallization and a small grain size in calcinated TiO2 at once through the calcination of amorphous TiO2 with organosilane at a high temperature of 850 °C. The prepared TiO2–SiO2 hollow spheres with tunable sizes demonstrate high photocatalytic activity with a maximum k value of 133.74 × 10–3 min–1, which is superior to commercial photocatalyst P25 (k = 114.97 × 10–3 min–1). In addition, Au can be doped in the hybrid TiO2–SiO2 shell to gain Au-doped hollow spheres that show a high k value of up to 694.14 × 10–3 min–1, which is 6 times larger than that of P25 and much better than that reported in the literature. This study not only provides an effective approach to stabilize and tune the grain growth of the TiO2 photocatalyst during calcination but also enables the simple preparation of hollow TiO2-based materials with controllable hollow nanostructures.

We use photosensitive resin as material, and adopt 3D printing and pyrolysis to prepare silica ceramics. HKUST-1 was grown on the ceramic surface by step-by-step in-situ growth method to obtain the HKUST-1/SiO 2 composite material. The HKUST-1/SiO 2 composite material was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The HKUST-1/SiO 2 composite material not only has the characteristics of HKUST-1 and SiO 2 , but also can be designed into different complex shapes. In addition, the composite can be easy to separate from the product without centrifugation or filtration after the reaction is completed. The application of benzyl alcohol oxidation was an example to the performance of composite catalysts.

Two kinds of ZnO/SiO 2 composite (labled as SZ-1 and SZ-2) were synthesized by sol–gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) spectra and Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform (DRIFT) spectra. Water adsorption on the prepared sample was studied by in situ DRIFT. The as-synthesized SZ-1 and SZ-2 sample have different surface property due to the various aging methods in the sample preparation processes, thus showing different results of water adsorption. The adsorption sites (Si atom in Si–O–Si bond) on the surface of SZ-2 for water molecule are occupied by the –OCH 3 group and the hydrophilicity of SZ-2 is weaker, in comparison to SZ-1, which inhibits the formation of water film and ultimately decreases desulfurization performance of SZ-2. So, the desulfurization performance can be changed by altering the hydrophilicity of sorbent.

In this study, we prepared a novel hybrid functionalized chitosan-Al 2 O 3 @SiO 2 composite (FCAS) for removing hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from aqueous system. Spectroscopic studies like Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS) were characterized. The effects such as dosage of adsorbent, pH, contact time and initial Cr(VI) concentration were evaluated. It has been illustrated that a wide acidic condition in the pH range of 2–6 was conducive to Cr(VI) adsorption and only 10 min was required to reach about 80% adsorption. Also, the adsorption properties of prepared adsorbent such as kinetics, thermodynamics and isotherms were comprehensively studied. Additionally, the adsorption capacity barely declined even after five cycles. Studies found that FCAS with characteristics of high performance of adsorption rate and capacity and better reusability would be a potential adsorbent for wastewater treatment .

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.

Graphical A bimodal mesoporous Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 composite was fabricated through a facile self-assembly route. Unprecedentedly good tunability of the core size (180–1700 nm) and the shell thickness (20–75 nm) has been achieved. The composite exhibits excellent performance in organic pollutant removal through adsorption and photo-Fenton degradation. A facile self-assembly synthetic procedure was exploited to fabricate mesoporous-silica-capped Fe 3 O 4 mesoporous clusters, so-called bimodal mesoporous Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 composites. Structural characterization demonstrated that the core of the Fe 3 O 4 clusters is coated with a mesoporous silica shell of uniform size distribution. Moreover, unprecedentedly good tunability of the core size (180–1700 nm) and the shell thickness (20–75 nm) is achievable by changing the synthetic parameters. Application of the composite in the removal of the organic dye methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was examined. The composite exhibits excellent adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution (33.12 mg g –1 ) within 5 min and is easily regenerated by the photo-Fenton degradation reaction as a result of its high specific surface area, accessible pore channels, and good magnetic separation properties. This novel adsorbent promises extensive application in the practical removal of organic dyes.
