Traditional contact lenses patterns are mostly colored with organic pigments, but they suffered a pigment leakage risk after long-term wearing, which causes corneal inflammation and ulceration. To solve this issue, the structural color is applied to contact lenses because it has color and pigment free. Herein, we reported the application of SiO 2 photonic crystal microspheres in contact lenses. We successfully prepared SiO 2 photonic crystal ink with structural color and fabricated contact lenses by ink transfer printing, and these contact lenses also contain patterns and pupil areas that are the same as the traditional pigment one. In addition, in vitro cytotoxicity test, physicochemical property test, and optical property test were carried out to verify the performance of the prepared structural color lenses. All results suggested it has great potential to replace traditional organic pigment contact lenses.

The objectives of this study are to prepare sulfhydryl-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 core/shell magnetic nanocomposites, assess their toxicity in vitro, and explore their potential application in the biomedical fields. Fe3O4 nanoparticles synthesized by facile solvothermal method were coated with SiO2 via the Stöber method and further modified by the meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) to prepare Fe3O4@SiO2@DMSA nanoparticles. The morphology, structure, functional groups, surface charge, and magnetic susceptibility of the nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, dynamic laser scattering, and vibrating sample magnetometer. Cytotoxicity tests and hemolysis assay were also carried out. Experimental results show that the toxicity of sulfhydryl-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles in mouse fibroblast (L-929) cell lines is between grade 0 and grade 1, and the material lacks hemolytic activity, indicating good biocompatibility of this Fe3O4@SiO2@DMSA nanocomposite, which is suitable for further application in biochemical fields.

Nanohybrid materials can significantly inhibit wax deposition and improve the fluidity of crude oil. However, the mechanisms behind wax resolving, crystal modification, and flow improving are still unclear owing to the complexity of crude oil. Here, we compared the effect of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and nanohybrids composed of EVA and SiO2 nanoparticles on wax crystallization and rheological behavior of Shengli waxy oil. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicate that SiO2 nanoparticles boost the efficiency of EVA for reducing the wax appearance temperature of waxy crude oil. Thermo X-ray diffraction characterization demonstrates that EVA/SiO2 nanohybrids cut down the crystal index of waxes, with the grain size of crystal cells decreased in (006) and (200) but increased in (110) cross sections. Polarized optical microscopy imaging reveals that EVA can modify the morphology of wax crystals to suppress the formation of wax gel, and nanohybrids serve as nucleuses to adsorb asphaltenes and resins, restraining the appearance of wax crystals. The rheological test shows that nanohybrids outperform EVA in decreasing the viscosity, inflection point, and yield stress of waxy crude oil. These findings help the understanding of flow improving by nanohybrid materials and offer guidelines for designing the new generation of wax inhibitors for safe transportation and flow assurance of waxy crude oil.

Nanoscale molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) could offer high binding capacity and fast mass transfer, but their removal after adsorption is costly and time-consuming. In this paper, Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and a lysozyme-imprinted polymer was synthesized via surface initiated atom transfer polymerization on the surface of Fe3O4@SiO2. Temperature-controlled adsorption and desorption of lysozyme were measured, and the adsorption kinetics and isothermal adsorption were determined. The results indicate that the synthesized Fe3O4 has an inverse spinel crystalline structure and Fe3O4@SiO2 is a core–shell structured nanoparticle. The adsorption kinetics followed the Langmuir EXT1 model, and the equilibrium adsorption capacity of the Fe3O4@SiO2@MIP at 40 °C was 117.12 mg g−1 with an imprinting factor of 1.51. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis confirmed the specific adsorption of lysozyme, and 86% of the adsorbed lysozyme could be released by changing the temperature.

Formulation and shaping of heterogeneous catalysts are vital in the successful industrial application. Here micro-sized vanadium chromium composite oxides catalysts with the spherical shape were prepared via spray drying with colloidal silica as a binder material. The physicochemical properties of catalysts with different Cr/V molar ratios were characterized by XRD, XPS, FT-IR, TPR, and particle size distribution analysis. It was revealed that the addition of Cr inhibited the formation of the crystalline phase V 2 O 5 and decreased the reduction temperature of pentavalent vanadium species, and also resulted in the formation of monoclinic CrVO 4 and a highly dispersed state of vanadia species. VCrO/SiO 2 particles with various Cr/V atomic ratio were studied as catalysts for p -chlorotoluene ammoxidation to p -chlorobenzonitrile, in which the catalyst with Cr/V ratio of 1 exhibited the best catalytic performance. When the Cr/V ratio was less than 1, mixed phases of orthorhombic CrVO 4 and monoclinic Cr 2 V 4 O 13 were formed and resulted in a low catalytic activity. With the increase of Cr/V ratio, the content of monoclinic CrVO 4 in the catalysts increased, resulting in the catalytic activity of the catalysts improved. However, too large an amount of Cr led to the formation of highly oxidizing hexagonal-Cr 2 O 3 phase, which reduced the selectivity of the catalytic reaction. Graphic abstract

Suppressing the excessive hydrogenation capacity of palladium has great significance for selective hydrogenation of acetylene. Herein, an amino acid (histidine or His in abbreviation) modified Pd/SiO 2 catalyst (Pd-His/SiO 2 ) for selective hydrogenation of acetylene was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation, followed by hydrogen reduction at 240 °C. The intense interaction between Pd and histidine greatly affects the structure and properties of Pd-His/SiO 2 . The Pd nanoparticles are highly dispersed on the support with an average diameter of 1.0 nm and positively charged. The use of histidine weakens the adsorption of acetylene and ethylene on the metal. Especially, the adsorption of di-σ-bonded ethylene is significantly impaired on the catalyst, which is beneficial to improve the ethylene selectivity. The conversion of acetylene is up to 100.0 % at 160 °C on Pd-His/SiO 2 while the ethylene selectivity reaches 81.5 %. A 50-hour test at 160 °C confirms the good stability of Pd-His/SiO 2 .

Magnetic-dielectric functional materials with unique three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic structures, reasonable component regulation, and hierarchical heterogeneous interfaces are potential candidates for achieving efficient microwave absorption (MA). In this paper, CoNi/SiO 2 hybrids are synthesized for high-performance MA by anchoring the dielectric SiO 2 layer by Stöber's sol-gel method to regulate the permittivity (ε r ). The results show that the abundant pores and high specific surface area of the coral-like spherical structure, the ε r modulation of CoNi alloy by SiO 2 shell-layer, the heterogeneous interface and charge storage capacity difference between both, which provide more reflective and scattering channels for the incident electromagnetic wave (EMW), optimize the impedance matching and enhance the interfacial polarization loss and magnetic loss, and finally achieve the reflection loss (RL) enhancement and effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) broadening. In particular, the coral-like CoNi@SiO 2 -2 microparticle (MP) has the strongest RL of -66.59 dB at 2.2 mm matching thickness and the maximum EAB of 6.460 GHz at 1.9 mm matching thickness, which covers the entire Ku-band. In this study, the hierarchical heterostructure is constructed by a unique morphology design and the introduction of a dielectric anchoring layer, which provides a new way to prepare efficient microwave-absorbing materials by magnetic-dielectric coupling engineering.

Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -NH 2 magnetic particles with core-shell structure were attached on carboxylated biochar derived from phoenix tree leaves to synthesize a novel magnetic biochar for removing Cr(VI) ions from acidic solutions. FSEM, FTEM, XRD characterizations of the synthesized magnetic biochar revealed that the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -NH 2 magnetic particles distributed uniformly on the surface or macrospores of carboxylated biochar by strong chemical bonding. The Cr(VI) ions adsorption capacity of magnetic biochar was 27.2 mg·g −1 , surpassing original carboxylated biochar (18.2 mg·g −1 ). VSM and XPS characterizations demonstrated that the attached Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -NH 2 magnetic particles not only endowed biochar with perfect magnetic property (23 emu·g −1 ) but also provided complexing sites for binding Cr(III) cations reduced from Cr(VI) anions. The Cr(VI) ions removal by magnetic biochar contained three steps: (1) adsorption of Cr(VI) anions by protonated functional groups; (2) reduction of Cr(VI) anions to Cr(III) cations by electron-donor groups; and (3) chelation of Cr(III) cations by amine groups. The adsorption recycling test showed that magnetic biochar kept 85% of its initial Cr(VI) adsorption capacity at the sixth cycle, and the Fe leakage under pH 1.0 was smaller than 0.25 mg·L −1 . The results indicated that this novel magnetic biochar was applicable for the practical treatment of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater.

High transmittance and strong dust-removing film has a broad potential application prospect in architectural glass, solar photovoltaic glass, automotive glass, etc. In this paper, SnO 2 is used as the antistatic agent, and SiO 2 as the matrix. The effects of Sn/Si molar ratio on the structure and properties of the SnO 2 -SiO 2 film prepared on quartz glass substrate with sol-gel dipping were studied. The film was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultraviolet-Visible-Near Infrared Spectrometer (UV–VIS–NIR) and Hall effect instrument tested the photoelectric properties. Falling dust experiment was used to determine the film’s dust-removing property. The results show that the SnO 2 -SiO 2 film is composed of nano particles of SnO 2 tetragonal rutile phase and amorphous SiO 2 , and has antistatic dust-removing property. With the increase of Sn/Si molar ratio, the crystallization quality and average grain size of the film increases, while the square resistance decreases continuously. The visible transmittance fluctuates with an amplitude of no more than 1.2%, and obtained the minimum value 87.246% at Sn/Si molar ratio of 2:1. Moreover, the film’s dust-removing performance improves continuously, which obtained the best, 50%, at Sn/Si molar ratio of 2:1.

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) are gaining remarkable amount of interest because of their exceptional liquid and solid repellency properties, their tolerance to high pressures and transparency. The lubricant layer may be depleted, leading to the loss of the “slippery” characteristics of the SLIPSs. Herein, we aimed to increase the lubricant storage capacity to enhance the long-term stability of SLIPSs through the construction of a hierarchical structure on the alloy substrates; the SLIPS herein thus represents a new kind of anti-corrosion material. By comparing the wetting speed of the lubricant and shear resistance properties, we showed that SLIPS with a ZnO/Co 3 O 4 /SiO 2 hierarchical structure provided the best lubricant wettability among the samples investigated herein; the lubricant was contained in the interior of this sample, thus providing the highest shear-tolerance observed. We also investigated the anti-corrosion property of SLIPSs that comprised ZnO/Co 3 O 4 /SiO 2 . The hierarchical structure had enough space to store the lubricant, which provided excellent corrosion protection for the alloy substrate.

To extend the activities of TiO 2 to the near infrared (NIR) region and to separate and recycle photocatalysts easily is vital for the high harvest of solar energy for sustainable society. The magnetic NIR activated Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ /TiO 2 (FS/UC/T) composites have been synthesized by using the solvothermal method by adding Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 and Degussa P25 into the mixed solution of NaOH, ethanol, oleic acid, Re(NO 3 ) 3 and NH 4 F. Moreover, the obtained composites were explored for photocatalytic applications. It was found that FS/UC/T emit UV–vis light under irradiation of 980 nm laser and efficient energy transfer from β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Tm 3+ to TiO 2 was verified. The photodegradation experiments for treating methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO) and colorless phenol were carried out to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of the samples. The photodegradation rates reach 76.62%, 68.48%, 30.05% and 27.16% for MB, RhB, MO and phenol under irradiation of 980 nm laser, respectively, which suggested magnetic FS/UC/T composite is an advanced NIR-driven photocatalyst. Moreover, the magnetic photocatalyst showed easy separation and good stability in the recycled tests. It suggested a promising system to utilize the NIR energy for photocatalysis based on TiO 2 and to utilize the magnetic for separation of photocatalysts, which will contribute to practical environmental remediation in the future.

Formic acid (FA, HCOOH), as a liquid chemical hydrogen storage carrier with low cost, high hydrogen content, and convenient storage and transportation, has attracted extensive attention. Pd-based catalysts for hydrogen production from FA are easy to aggregate and deactivate in the reaction process, which hinders the further development of FA as a hydrogen storage carrier. Therefore, the exploitation of carriers with simple preparation methods and excellent performance can effectively improve the catalytic activity of Pd-based catalysts. Porous carbon and SiO 2 have been widely used for their unique structural properties, and the preparation of composite carriers by combining the advantages of both is a current research hotspot. Herein, this work synthesized C–SiO 2 for the deposition of Pd nanoparticles by a one-step method, and the obtained Pd/C–SiO 2 exhibits a superior FA dehydrogenation activity with a turnover frequency value of 1278 h −1 and a favorable stability with only a slight decrease in activity after five cycles.
