In order to obtain high-performance energy-saving window material, Pt-Cs x WO 3 /SiO 2 composite aerogels were prepared by in-situ solvothermal synthesis and ambient pressure drying method. The relationship among the near-infrared shielding ability, thermal conductivity , thermal insulation performance and microstructure of Pt-Cs x WO 3 /SiO 2 composite aerogel was investigated. The as-prepared composite aerogel after heat-treatment at 450 °C exhibits low thermal conductivity (0.1090 W/(m·k)) of SiO 2 aerogel and near-infrared shielding ability at the same time due to its high pore volume (0.537–0.796 cm 3 /g), specific surface area (113.968–141.284 m 2 /g) and W 5+ content. The near-infrared shielding rate at 1500 nm of the composite aerogel could attain to 84% when the visible light transmittance is 72%. As Pt-Cs x WO 3 /SiO 2 composite aerogel has the synergistic effect of near-infrared shielding and low thermal conductivity, the composite aerogel heat-treated at 450 °C has excellent visible light transparency and thermal insulation performance. This research provides a new idea for developing high efficient energy-saving window glasses.

Biochar-coupled Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composites were successfully constructed through simple sol–gel and calcination methods. The composites efficiently removed high-concentration toxic tetracycline (TC) by means of ·OH and · \({\rm O}_2^{-}\) , whose removal rate exhibited 91.88% during 3 h, and the degradation rate constant reached up to 0.0068 min −1 . The excellent performance can be attributed to the high specific surface area, enhanced visible light response, the introduction of magnetic nanoparticles and biochars expediting charge transfer, Z-scheme heterojunction enhancing the spatial separation of photo-generate carriers and, importantly extraordinary adsorption capacity of 147.96 mg g −1 . Moreover, the composites showed the most excellent efficiency under the calcination temperature of 450 ℃, and exhibited good stability with tolerance to a wide range of pH and anions. Interestingly, a synergistic photocatalytic effect was discovered in the TC/Cr(VI) combined pollution systems, resulting in significantly improved removal of Cr(VI). Besides, the photocatalytic mechanism and degradation path of tetracycline were also elucidated. All these findings suggested the as-synthesized catalyst was an excellent photocatalyst for removal of TC/Cr(VI)-contaminated water. Graphical Abstract

Sealing treatment is an effective method to prolong the service life of Fe-based amorphous coatings for steel substrates. Common sealants always have the disadvantages of releasing amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and are expensive, prompting researchers to develop an eco-friendly, low cost and high-performance sealant. However, their simultaneous improvement is restricted by some inevitable contradictions among them. Herein, natural rosin was introduced as a sealing material and an eco-friendly natural rosin-based SiO 2 –NH 2 @GO hybrid sealant was successfully prepared by the sol-gel method. In addition, the functional nanocomposite SiO 2 –NH 2 @GO was added to the hybrid sealant system to achieve the purpose of extending the service life of the sealant. The filling efficiency, adhesion, thermal stability and long-term corrosion resistance of hybrid sealants were investigated. The study showed that the adhesion of the hybrid sealant to the Fe-based amorphous coating was improved by 10.59% after adding the nanocomposite. The hybrid sealant reaches maximum thermal decomposition at 414.3 °C. The corrosion current density ( i corr ) of the sample NSG-0.5‰ still decreased by about two orders of magnitude after immersion for 672 h (0#, i corr = 1.39 × 10 −4 A/cm 2 ; NSG-0.5‰, i corr = 1.51 × 10 −6 A/cm 2 ). Full immersion experiments explore the failure process of hybrid sealants, where corrosion always tends to propagate with unmelted particles. The hybrid sealant prepared has the advantages of being eco-friendly and low cost, and provides a specific preparation process, which provides a new direction for the development of the sealant.

The conversion of terpinolene epoxide to terpinen-4-ol is a desirable chemical transformation for the production of a valuable intermediate. This paper describes a one-pot, two-step system for the reaction that uses a bifunctional Ni/TiO 2 -SiO 2 catalyst with isomerization and hydrogenation capabilities. The TiO 2 -SiO 2 serves to isomerize the starting epoxide. The Ni component works to hydrogenate the allylic double bond. The tandem system achieves a high 64% yield of terpinen-4-ol. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that TiO 2 -SiO 2 was a mixed binary oxide, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine suggested that acid sites were mainly Lewis acid sites. Electron microscopy showed that the Ni/TiO 2 -SiO 2 catalyst consisted of spherical particles comprising a titanosilicate phase with highly dispersed zero-valent Ni or anatase on the surface. Additionally, there was strong interaction between Ni and the TiO 2 -SiO 2 mixed oxides. Control kinetic experiments demonstrated that the tandem use of the catalysts was more effective than simultaneous operation.

The preparation of the maple leaf-like MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA biomimetic composites not only overcame the problem of easy agglomeration of nanoparticles, but also provided rich functional groups, large specific surface areas and good stability, achieving the efficient sorption of Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) from aqueous solution. The maximum sorption capacities of the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA towards Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) attained from the Langmuir model were 218.788, 383.420 and 148.939 mg·g −1 , respectively. The sorption of Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) on the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA were strongly affected by pH, but not by ionic strength, showing good resistance to salt interference. The main sorption mechanism of the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA towards Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) was the strong surface complexation of the functional groups on the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA with Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II). Moreover, the radii of Cu(II), Cd(II) and Ni(II) ions and their complexation strength with the MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA jointly determined the order of the competitive sorption capacities as Cu(II) > Cd(II) > Ni(II). Given the above analyses, the maple leaf-like MnO 2 –SiO 2 @PDA biomimetic composites have excellent application prospects in practical wastewater treatment.

Introducing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) or fabricating TiO 2 hollow spheres (TiO 2 -HSs) are considered two feasible strategies to enhance the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). However, studies investigating a combination of UCNPs and TiO 2 -HSs for the application in DSSCs are still scarce. In this contribution, NaYF 4 :Yb,Er@NaGdF 4 :Nd@SiO 2 UCNPs and TiO 2 -HSs were synthesized and respectively applied as upconversion layers and scattering layers on the TiO 2 photoanode of DSSCs. The influence of different doping ratios of UCNPs on cell performance was explored. The present results reveal that the DSSCs device based on conventional P25 photoanode films incorporating the UCNPs with 10% can achieve a photovoltaic efficiency of 6.65%, showing 29.63% enhancement in comparison to the device without UCNPs. When the TiO 2 -HSs are used as scattering layers above the P25 film, the DSSCs device obtains a higher photovoltaic efficiency of 6.97%. More importantly, combining the UCNPs and TiO 2 -HSs can further enhance the photoelectrical property of DSSCs, realizing an optimal efficiency of 8.17%. Such an improvement can be attributed to a synergistic mechanism arising from the upconversion effect of UCNPs and the light scattering effect of TiO 2 -HSs. This work opens a new way of preparing composite photoanode films to improve the photovoltaic performances of DSSCs.

The synthesis and properties of new hybrid core-shell nanoparticles SiO2-HPW12O40@Fe3O4/EN-MIL-101(Cr) are reported. These hybrid nanomaterials were synthesized by binding of Keggin-type heteropolyacid (HPA) on diamine-activated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. The present work proposes an electroanalytical method for selective determination of losartan antihypertensive drug (LOS). Under optimal conditions, an electrochemical sensor was performed between the molecules in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PBS) pH 6.0. Heterogeneous nanocatalysts can be easily separated from the reaction mixture using a magnet and used multiple times. The structure of the synthesized nanocatalyst was determined by various physicochemical techniques such as TEM, SEM, XRD, EDAX, TGA, and AFM.

The hierarchical architecture constitutes one of the key factors affecting the performance of microwave absorbing materials (MAMs). Herein, core-shell Fe 3 O 4 with a dendritic hierarchical structure is fabricated successfully by the melting method in a SiO 2 -B 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 -CaO-Fe 2 O 3 multi-component system. The multiple transmission scattering absorption mechanism is mediated by the unique microstructure, thus improving the impedance matching and the microwave loss ability of the material. According to its reflection loss curve, the microwave absorption was efficiently optimized, yielding a minimum reflection loss (R L ) of − 54.26 dB when the thickness was 3.47 mm, and the effective bandwidth (R L <10 dB) for electromagnetic wave reflectance reached 3.28 GHz (6.48–9.76 GHz) with a sample thickness of 1.8 mm. The present work adds new useful information for the designing of high-performance glass-ceramic MAMs.

Two-dimensional Bi2Te3 nanosheets (NSs) have recently been validated as a new type of photothermal agent to provide an alternative option for tumor ablation via light-induced hyperthermia. However, the surface of Bi2Te3 NSs lacks active radicals for the conjugation of functional molecules, which undoubtedly impedes their versatile utilization in medical areas. Here, the surface activation of Bi2Te3 NSs was accomplished via the in situ growth of an SiO2 nanoshell assisted by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). Upon the co-condensation of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (ATPES), terminal amino groups (–NH2) were generated on the surface of the Bi2Te3@SiO2 NSs, which were further covalently coupled with the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) through a standard amide reaction. The resultant Bi2Te3@SiO2/Ce6 (BSC) NSs displayed admirable photothermal properties, a high Ce6 loading capacity, and good biocompatibility. Upon dual-wavelength laser irradiation, an excellent tumor suppression effect arising from thermal ablation and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced apoptosis was verified both in cell experiments and in animal studies. In addition, synchronous fluorescence/photoacoustic/infrared (FL/PA/IR) tri-modal imaging could provide useful information for both tumor diagnosis and prognosis. Overall, this facile strategy for the activation of Bi2Te3 is regarded to be universal for the development of more versatile Bi2Te3-based nanoplatforms, which should favor the rapid diagnosis and effective treatment of fatal diseases.

The esterification of malic acid using traditional homogenous catalysts suffers from the difficulty in reuse of the catalyst and undesirable side reactions. In this work, Zr(SO4)2/SiO2and Zr(SO4)2/activated carbon (AC) as solid acid catalysts were prepared for malic acid esterification with methanol. The conversion of malic acid over these two catalysts is comparable to that over H2SO4and unsupported Zr(SO4)2∙4H2O catalysts; however; a 99% selectivity of dimethyl malate can be realized on these two supported catalysts, which is much higher than that of conventional H2SO4(75%) and unsupported Zr(SO4)2∙4H2O (80%) catalysts, highlighting the critical role of AC and SiO2supports in tuning the selectivity. We suggest that the surface hydroxyls of AC or lattice O2−ions from SiO2donate electrons to Zr4+in Zr(SO4)2/AC and Zr(SO4)2/SiO2catalysts, which results in the increase in electron density on Zr4+. The enhanced electron density on Zr4+reduces the degree of H delocalization from crystal water and then decreases the Brønsted acid strength. Consequently, the reduced Brønsted acid strength of Zr(SO4)2/AC and Zr(SO4)2/SiO2catalysts suppresses the intermolecular dehydration side reaction. In addition, these two supported catalysts can be easily separated from the reaction system by simple filtration with almost no loss of activity.Keywords:malic acid;catalytic esterification;solid acid catalyst;Zr(SO4)2;intermolecular dehydration

A novel polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane was fabricated through chemical binding SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) and copper ferrocyanide (CuFC) layers onto a membrane surface simultaneously to improve the removal efficiency of Cs. The results indicated that the SiO 2 NPs were strongly deposited onto the membrane surface, and the CuFC layer was firmly attached on the surface of SiO 2 NPs and the membrane. CuFC/SiO 2 /PVDF membrane remained stable after the acidic solution and sonication stress treatments. CuFC/SiO 2 /PVDF membrane showed good permeate flux and high selectivity on removal of Cs, and adsorbing capacity reached 1440.4 mg m −2 for Cs. The membrane remained high rejections of Cs in a wide pH, and could be regenerated well by H 2 O 2 and N 2 H 4 . Selective adsorption and electrostatic interaction govern the rejection of Cs. The coexisting cations decreased the rejection of Cs mainly in accordance to the order of cations’ hydration radii as K + > Na + > Ca 2+ > Mg 2+ . In addition, the rejection of Cs could still reach 99.4% in 8 h in the filtration of humic acid solution and natural surface water. The membrane could removal of Cs from water effectively by directly rapid filtration, suggesting it can be applied as promising technology for radioactive wastewater treatment.

Metal particle size and metal dispersion significantly influence the catalyst activity, and an efficient catalytic upgrade of bio-oil to high-quality liquid fuel is always difficult. Herein, a high dispersed Ru/SiO 2 -ZrO 2 catalyst was prepared by polyol reduction method, which exhibited a high catalytic activity on hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of the phenolic compounds and pyrolysis lignin-oil. As a model compound, guaiacol had a conversion of 99.9% and a cyclohexane selectivity of 96.7% at the temperature of 240 °C. This polyol Ru/SiO 2 -ZrO 2 catalyst had a good recyclability in the guaiacol HDO. No significant decrease on the catalytic activity was presented after continuous 5 runs, and the conversion kept close to 100% and the selectivity of cyclohexane kept above 88%. Several common phenolic compounds also enabled to be turned into corresponding cycloalkanes efficiently. The high Ru dispersion and the large amount of strong acid sites in the polyol Ru/SiO 2 -ZrO 2 are the main reasons for the good catalytic performances. The synergetic effects between high dispersed metal site and strong acid site lead to a promoted efficiency in the HDO process to form the cycloalkanes. This active catalyst was also applicable to the upgrade of pyrolysis lignin-oil. After reaction, the content of hydrocarbons in the lignin-oil increased from 16.2% to 86.1%, and guaiacols and other oxygenated compounds were almost disappeared. The upgraded lignin-oil has potential to be used as high-quality fuels directly.
