A novel mesoporous nanosphere functionalized with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and 2-(5-bromothiophen)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (5-Br-Tip) was synthesized (denoted as Tip-MSS). With the coordinating function of the 5-Br-Tip to lanthanide (Ln) ions, for the first time, LnL3(5-Br-Tip) complexes were linked to the mesoporous nanospheres. The derived materials, named Ln-Tip-MSS (Ln = Eu, Tb, Sm, Nd, Yb), were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, TEM, XRD (wide-angle and small-angle), N2 adsorption/desorption analysis, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Upon excitation in the ligand absorption, the Ln-Tip-MSS nanomaterials show characteristic visible (Eu, Tb, Sm) and NIR (Sm, Nd, Yb) luminescence (multicolor emission covered from 450 nm to 1400 nm spectral region). Of importance is that, with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility given by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, the Eu-Tip-MSS was successfully applied to cell imaging in vitro based on the Eu3+ luminescence (under 405 nm excitation).

Flame propagation characteristics of wood dust deflagration and suppression mechanism of ultrafine powders are investigated systematically. The deflagration reaction intensity of wood dust increases firstly and then decreases with the increase in dust cloud concentration. This is due to factors such as oxygen supply, positive feedback among flame characteristic parameters. Thus, there is an equivalent dust concentration for greatest deflagration intensity. Nano-sized ultrafine zirconium hydroxide (Zr(OH) 4 ) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) powder are introduced to suppress wood dust deflagration at the equivalent concentration. It is found that Zr(OH) 4 has a suppression effect of endothermic decomposition to generate zirconia (ZrO 2 ), dilution of oxygen and absorption of free radicals; while SiO 2 exerts suppression effect due to its high melting point and heat absorption. The suppression performance of Zr(OH) 4 is better than that of SiO 2 . This is because that Zr(OH) 4 and ZrO 2 have a catalytic carbonization effect. It can not only improve thermal stability of wood particles by catalyzing production of high-temperature resistant residuals, but also promote the formation of catalytic sites to reduce crystallite size of carbon layer on wood particles surface, weakening heat and mass transfer between particles.

Nowadays, although highly conductive polymer composites filled with two-dimensional graphene-based nano-fillers have been explored extensively, constructing nanocomposites with high performance, industrial feasibility, and more efficient conductive networks at lower nano-filler contents remains a challenge. To achieve the above objectives, industrial wastes microsilica powder (N98) with amorphous spherical structure and large particle size is employed in this work. And the hybrids (TGN) are obtained between N98 and graphene (GE) by the effective bridging and interface coupling of tannic acid, which can achieve the purpose of obtaining conductive composites with low-filler contents by traditional polymer processing technologies. The volume exclusion effect of N98 and its own assisted dispersion effect can prevent and attenuate graphene agglomeration, enabling the formation of a dense, complete and uniform conductive network in natural rubber (NR) matrix based on a small amount of graphene addition (parts per thousand). Thus, it give the nanocomposite highly functional, especially electric property. The results show that when the ratio of GE to N98 hybridization is 1:20, N98 and graphene are more uniformly hybridized together, and the volume exclusion effect is best matched with the rubber composites, and the comprehensive performance is optimal. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of NR/TG 1 N 20 nanocomposite can reach the balanced value of 10 −3 S·cm −1 with the GE loading of 0.48 phr, which shows the effectiveness of the prepared hybrids.

The spherical silica particles in narrow size distribution with different diameters of 90 nm, 200 nm, 320 nm and 400 nm were prepared by the modified Stöber method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The phase composition of particles was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that each of the silica particle samples was in amorphous state. The shear thickening fluids (STFs) comprising 53 vol.% of silica particles and 47 vol.% of polyethylene glycol with molecular weight of 200 g mol −1 (PEG200) were prepared and evaluated. The influence of size and size distribution on the critical shear rate and the intensity of shear thickening were analyzed. The STFs prepared by silica nanoparticles with a diameter of 90 nm showed the giant rheological effect with the critical shear rate of 2.51 s −1 , the largest viscosity of 45,500 Pa∙s and the yield stress of 181 kPa. The experiments and the analysis results demonstrated that the suspensions prepared by nanoparticles have high intensity of shear thickening.

A micro-nano combined composite with Li-Si alloy nano-domains in three-dimensional carbon network was prepared as a novel electrode material. The carbon network constrained the volume contraction and promoted effectively charge transfer of the whole active material. Meanwhile, the abundant interfaces between Li-Si alloy and carbon bound by Li-C ionic bonds, not only enhanced the delithiation at interface but also ensured the structural integrity. The present composite exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. The specific capacity at the first lithiation was as high as 1133 mAh g −1 at a current density of 0.1 A g −1 , which is superior to those reported for the core-shell structured nanoparticles. The Coulombic Efficiency at the first cycle was 90.4% and kept stable at more than 99.0% after only 10 cycles. The capacity retention was nearly twice as that of the incompact mixture of Li-Si nanoparticles and carbon. The energy density of the full cell constructed by the present composite and sulfur was evaluated to be 3 times as high as that of the commercial lithium-ion batteries. This work provides a new universal strategy for developing Li-rich anode materials with high combination properties and low cost.

Surface modification of nanomaterials with polymers is an effective route to render new functions and improve the performance of the final nanocomposites. Here, a facile method was developed to fabricate polyacrylic acid (PAA)-grafted monodisperse SiO 2 nanoparticles (SiO 2 -PDA-PAA) through a combination of mussel inspired chemistry and Michael addition reaction. To obtain the products, the SiO 2 nanoparticles were first coated with polydopamine (PDA) through self-polymerization of dopamine under rather mild conditions. The PDA thin films can then be further conjugated with amino-terminated PAA, which was synthesized by chain transfer free radical polymerization using cysteamine hydrochloride as a chain transfer agent and acrylic acid as a monomer. The SiO 2 -PDA-PAA nanocomposites were characterized via transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effects of contact time, solution pH, temperature and methylene blue (MB) concentration on the removal of MB were investigated. The results demonstrated that SiO 2 -PDA-PAA showed significant improvement in adsorption efficiency towards MB. The kinetics and isotherm studies showed that pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models were well fitted the experimental data. The values of thermodynamics parameters such as entropy change ( ΔS 0 ), enthalpy change ( ΔH 0 ) and Gibbs free energy ( ΔG 0 ) were calculated based on the Van’t Hoff equation. The negative values of thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption of MB was a feasible, spontaneous and exothermic process. In summary, we developed a facile method to fabricate SiO 2 -based polymer nanocomposites, which showed obviously enhanced adsorption capability towards MB.

A time-saving method was applied to synthesize methyltrimethoxy-modified magnetic mesoporous silica with or without p -toluenesulfonic acid as the catalyst for magnetic solid-phase extraction. The synthesized materials were systematically characterized. Results demonstrated that methyltrimethoxy modified magnetic mesoporous silica with p -toluenesulfonic acid as the catalyst has a relatively smaller aperture and extreme hydrophobicity (water contact angle of 135°). To evaluate the feasibility of these prepared materials as effective adsorbents, it was combined with gas chromatography and electron capture detection to determine 26 polychlorinated biphenyls in environmental water. The result revealed that methyltrimethoxy modified magnetic mesoporous silica with p -toluenesulfonic acid as the catalyst had the best extraction efficiency and recovery. Under the optimized extracted conditions, the proposed method showed good linearity within the concentration range of 5 to 200 ng/L with correlation coefficients of 0.9969 to 0.9999. The limits of detection and quantification based on signal-to-noise ratios of 3 and 10 were in the range of 0.16 to 0.91 and 0.52 to 3.0 ng/L, respectively. The polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations in environmental water samples were successfully determined using the developed method. PCB008 and PCB110 were 4.05 and 8.52 ng/L in Red-Star lake water (Hubei Province, China), respectively.

Hybrid coatings have been used as the protective materials on sandstone monuments for many decades. But the protective performance is strongly depended on the adhered interface between protective coating and matrix. To find out how the hybrid coatings affect the adhesive performances and anti-salt damage behaviors during Na 2 SO 4 salt-loaded hygrothermal aging (SLHA) cycles, the surface/mechanical properties of three silica-based hybrid coatings (S1-S3) and their anti-salt damage results (surface weathering appearance, mass change, porosity, water absorption and morphology of pore structures) of the sandstones adhered by these hybrid coatings have been evaluated and discussed. The results reveal that dendritic Na 2 SO 4 crystals cover on the sand grains in both natural and hydrophilic silica/PVA (S1) adhered sandstones, which makes the adhered sandstone perform the least damage. Owing to the high adhesive and mechanical strength , S1-adhered sandstones perform the best anti-salt damage during Na 2 SO 4 SLHA cycles. While the needle-like and cumulate ellipsoidal Na 2 SO 4 crystals precipitate in the pores and interstices result to much severe salt damaged in adhered sandstones by hydrophobic P(GMA-MAPOSS) (S2) and PGMA- g -P(MA-POSS) (S3) during Na 2 SO 4 SLHA cycles, although they enhanced the strength of adhesive pore walls. Actually, the macro salt damage behaviors on the sandstones treated by different hybrid coatings are proved to be a competition result of different crystallization patterns. Therefore, the pore interface adjusted by protective coatings should be one of the decisive factors for anti-salt damage during the sandstone protection.

Raspberry-like hollow-spheres-on-sphere (HSOS) particles with reactive surfaces, uniform sizes and monodisperse properties were rational designed and fabricated to immobilize gold nanoparticles for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol. HSOS polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) particles were constructed by an organic alkali catalyzed sol-gel process from trialkoxysilane precursors with stabilized polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles as both a sacrifice template and a Pickering emulsifier. The PSQ particles were fabricated in an ice bath with methyltrimethoxysilane and mercaptopropyltrimethoxysiane as a co-precursor, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) as a catalyst, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium lignosulfonat as co-stabilizers and PS latex as a hard template. The formation mechanism of the hierarchical particles was investigated in detail by the time study through imaging the particles at regular time intervals during the reaction process. Various effect factors on the morphology were studied systematically which showed that the precursor composition, the content of PS, TMAH and PVP are the most important factors. The hierarchical structure combined with the mercaptopropyl groups on both the surface and the skeleton to make it possible to adsorb guest molecules. Au nanoparticles were immobilized on the particles for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. The unique PSQ colloids with hollow-spheres-on-sphere extended the family of the hierarchical structures and has shown the potential applications in separations, drug delivery and heterogeneous catalysts.

Transparent coatings with self-cleaning and anti-fogging properties have received significant attention for their potential applications. In this paper, highly transparent porous silica coatings were fabricated on glass substrate through layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of raspberry-like polystyrene@silica (PS@SiO 2 ) microparticles followed by calcination at high temperature. The as prepared coatings showed superhydrophilic property while displayed superhydrophobicity after chemical vapor deposition with low surface energy material. After two assembly cycles, the superhydrophobic porous silica coating had a water contact angle as high as 159°±2° with a sliding angle of 7°±1.5° and a transmittance of 85%. It is demonstrated that the number of assembly cycles affected the transmittance and wettability of porous silica coatings. In addition, the anti-fogging properties of the transparent superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces were investigated, presenting totally different fogging behavior.

In order to develop an efficient and environmental friendly approach for epoxidation of soybean oil (SO), a series of hetero-catalysts, titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) with different Si/Ti ratio (TS-1- x , x = 40, 70, 80), mesoporous TS-1-40 (MTS-1-40) and anatase TiO 2 , were prepared under controlled conditions. These different catalysts were characterized by various characterization methods like XRD , IR, UV–Vis, TGA , ICP , SEM, TEM and N 2 -adsorption, respectively, and the catalytic reaction experiments of the SO epoxidation were studied systematically using hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) as clean oxidant over the different catalysts. The results reveal that the TS-1- x catalysts exhibit higher epoxidation catalytic activity and less consumption of H 2 O 2 than anatase TiO 2 , and the number of framework Ti sites in TS-1 structure played a very important role in their catalytic performance of the epoxidation reaction, which is attributed to the unique nature and coordination geometry of the Ti sites in TS-1 framework. Furthermore, the reusability and regeneration behaviors of TS-1-40 catalyst were also studied.
