Adsorption of gallium (Ga) utilizing solid waste synthetic materials can achieve both high-value solid waste use and solve the supply–demand paradox of Ga. To efficiently recover Ga in solution, this article describes a hydrothermal synthesis technique of mesoporous materials from the acid leaching residue of coal fly ash (CFA). According to the findings, the mesoporous silica synthesized by hydrothermal reaction with CTAB: nSiO 3 2- =1:0.085 around 120℃ during 24 h exhibits a maximum specific surface area (771.25 m 2 /g) along with hexagonal mesoporous structure. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model that has an excellent correlation coefficient (R 2 > 0.99) can explain this adsorption system. Since Freundlich model fits this adsorption action better, the process is multi-molecular layer adsorption. The thermodynamic fitting results show that the adsorption of Ga by mesoporous silica is an endothermic and spontaneous chaotic reaction. The adsorption mechanism could be depicted using ion exchange and coupling. The adsorption efficiency of Ga is still higher than 80 % after the material has been regenerated by multiple resolution. In conclusion, mesoporous silica prepared by CFA acid leaching residue has the potential to adsorb Ga.

Here we report a Bi/mesoporous carbon modified glass carbon electrode (Bi-MC-GCE) for the detection of heavy metal ions Zn, Cd and Pb. Bi(NO3)3 was firstly entrapped into the holes of MCs by sonicating them together in solution. Then the dispersed mixture was pipetted
onto the surface of GCE and left to dry. Bi(NO3)3 in the holes of MCs was reduced to metallic Bi during the process of deposition for square wave stripping analysis. The obtained Bi-MC-GCE exhibits significantly enhanced sensitivity for Zn, Cd and Pb detection compared
to blank GCE, bismuth or MC alone modified GCE, which is attributed to the high specific surface area of MCs and the increased amount of entrapped bismuth as active sites for the deposition and stripping of heavy metal ions. A linearship is observed for the concentration of Zn, Cd, and Pb
from 10 to 110 ppb. The relative standard deviation was 3.7% for Zn, 3% for Cd and 8% for Pb at the 90 ppb level (n = 3). The suggested Bi-MC-GCE exhibits a potential application for real water sample analysis.

The importance of the acidity and mesoporous structure to the hydrodeoxygenation activity of catalysts for bio-oil upgrading was investigated. By testing three model bio-oil compounds, we showed that catalysts with a strong acidity (e.g. ZSM-5) have a high hydrodeoxygenation activity, while the mesoporous structure of the support can further improve the catalytic performance of ZSM-5.

TiO2has broad prospects in reducing the safety risks posed by emerging pollutants in water environments. However, the high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers limits the activity and photon utilization efficiency of TiO2. In this study, mesoporous TiO2(m-TiO2) and ultra-thin g-C3N4nanosheets were composited using a hydrothermal method, with the m-TiO2tightly and uniformly wrapped by g-C3N4. The chemical structure, elemental composition, and optical properties of the heterojunction were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis-DRS). The activity of the m-TiO2@g-C3N4was evaluated by the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). Results showed that the heterojunction exhibited significantly enhanced reactivity compared to pure m-TiO2and g-C3N4, with kinetic rates of TCH being 1.48 and 6.84 times that of pure m-TiO2and g-C3N4, respectively. The TCH degradation kinetic rate varied from 0.194 min−1to 0.026 min−1and then decreased to 0.015 min−1on the scale of the bandgap and the number of absorbed photons in m-TiO2@g-C3N4. Concurrently, a 10wt% doping amount of g-C3N4significantly increased the reaction rate of photogenerated carriers in the system compared to the recombination rate, corresponding to excellent photon efficiency. Reproducibility was evaluated, and a possible degradation mechanism is proposed. This study opens new perspectives for the optimization of catalyst preparation processes aimed at enhancing photon efficiency.

Developing fast, accurate and sensitive triethylamine gas sensors with low detection limits is paramount to ensure the safety of workers and the public. However, sensors based on single metal oxide materials still suffer from drawbacks such as low response sensitivity and long response and recovery times. To address these challenges, in this work, a series of mesoporous CdO/CdGa 2 O 4 microspheres were synthesized. We optimized the sensor's sensing performance to triethylamine by fine-tuning the ratio of CdO to CdGa 2 O 4 . Among them, CdO:3CdGa 2 O 4 -based sensor demonstrates a rapid response time of 2 s to detect 100 ppm of triethylamine, with a high response value of 211 and exceptional selectivity. Furthermore, it exhibits a low detection limit of 20 ppb for triethylamine, making it suitable for practically testing fish freshness. Crucially, electron transfer between the heterojunctions increases the chemically adsorbed oxygen on the materials’ surface, thereby enhancing the sensor's response sensitivity to triethylamine. This discovery provides new insights and methodologies for the design of highly efficient triethylamine gas sensors.

Recycling rare earth elements (REEs) from NdFeB magnets alleviates the growing demand for these resources and contributes to environmental protection. Phosphate groups are known for their high adsorption selectivity for rare and precious metals. In this study, a novel phosphorus-functionalized silicon-based adsorption material (PPA@APTES/SBA-15) was synthesized using poly (ethylene glycol)- block -poly (propylene glycol)- block -poly (ethylene glycol) copolymer (P123) as a template, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a silicon source, (3-amino-propyl) trimethoxysilane (APTES) as a coupling agent, and phosphite ester as a functional ligand. This material was designed for the adsorption and separation of Nd and Dy from NdFeB leaching simulants. The batch experiments revealed that PPA@APTES/SBA-15 achieved equilibrium separation of Co and REEs within 10 s, with SF REE/Co ≥ 2018.76. The material exhibited near 100 % adsorption efficiency for Nd and Dy in 6 M HCl solution, along with excellent reusability. Notably, column experiments also demonstrated near complete adsorption efficiency for Nd and Dy. SEM-EDS, TEM, XRD, and N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms confirmed that PPA@APTES/SBA-15 possessed a uniform hexagonal mesoporous structure and a high specific surface area. TG-DSC analysis demonstrated that the organic loading of PPA@APTES/SBA-15 was 9 %. FT-IR, XPS, and DFT analysis suggested that PPA@APTES/SBA-15 bond metal ions via P OH (P O) groups.

The high reactivity of Fe(0) with Cr(VI) makes it the best choice for Cr(VI) removal. Interstitial compound Fe3C was produced during the carbothermic reduction of mesoporous phenolic resin/ferric ions to form Fe(0)/Fe3C nanoparticles embedded in mesoporous carbon (Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC). Fe3C accelerates the electrochemical corrosion process of α-Fe(0) in solution, and the positive/negative equipotential interface that is formed by iron–carbon (Fe–C) microelectrolysis of Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC induces the capture of Cr(VI) anions and Cr(III) cations as a result of this process. Cr(VI) was completely reduced to Cr(III) by the Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC catalyst with a high electron efficiency (40.5%) relative to nanosized zero-valent iron (1.9%) and Fe@MesoC (32.7%). Surface ferrous ions are the principal reactive species responsible for Cr(VI) reduction (at least 64%); Fe(0)/Fe3C and undetectable surface ferrous ions account for a small part of Cr(VI) reduction (around 28%), and only 8% of Cr(VI) ions are reduced by active hydrogen (H*). The proposed structure of Fe(0)/Fe3C@MesoC provides new insight into iron–carbon material preparation and application in in situ chemical reduction.

Polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes (POSS), regarded as the smallest possible particles of silica , are used as carbon source and assembled into hierarchically porous carbon structures by a block copolymer-assisted method. The obtained carbon materials with high specific surface area of over 2000 m 2 g −1 and large pore volume of over 1.19 cm 3 g −1 possess both quite uniform micropores with the size of ~1 nm and highly ordered mesopores with the size of ~4 nm, owing to the molecular-scale templating effect of POSS siloxane cages as well as the good assembly compatibility between the block copolymers and the aminophenyl-functionalized POSS used. The mesopore arrangement can be two-dimensionally hexagonal ( p 6 m ) or body-centered cubic ( Im 3 ¯ m ) by simply adjusting different block copolymers. Nitrogen functionalities with a relatively high content (~4 wt%) can spontaneously be incorporated into those carbon materials. Benifiting from the uniform microporosity and the nitrogen doping, the specific capacitance of the POSS-derived hierarchically porous carbons can reach ~160 F g −1 in ionic liquid electrolyte and ~210 F g −1 in 1 M H 2 SO 4 aqueous electrolyte, when measured at a current density of 0.25 A g −1 in a symmetrical two-electrode cell. More importantly, the highly ordered mesopores can facilitate ions fast transportion to the fine micropores to achieve the excellent power performance. The hierarchial carbon sample with a hexagonal mesostructure and a high mesoporosity displays the best rate capability with 94% and 97% of capacitance retention in ionic liquid and 1 M H 2 SO 4 , respectively, with the current density range from 0.25 to 10 A g −1 . By combining self-assembly strategy with rich POSS chemistry, we believe that many other hierarchical hybrid materials or carbon materials with unique electrochemical properties can be synthesized.

The novel NiO hexagonal hollow microspheres have been successfully prepared by annealing Ni(OH) 2 , which was synthesized via an ionic liquid-assisted hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N 2 adsorption–desorption and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The results show that the hollow NiO microstructures are self-organized by mesoporous cubic and hexagonal nanocrystals. The mesoporous structure possessed good thermal stability and high specific surface area ( ca. 83 m 2 /g). The ionic liquid 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF 4 ]) was found to play a key role in controlling the morphology of NiO microstructures during the hydrothermal process. The special hollow mesoporous architectures will have potential applications in many fields, such as catalysts, absorbents, sensors, drug-delivery carriers, acoustic insulators and supercapacitors.

The design of the hierarchical structure and geometry of nanomaterials at the molecular and macroscopic level are crucial to determine their properties and applications. In this work, we describe a facile and effective method to control over the mesostructure and morphology of ethane-bridged PMOs with the assistance of various organic salts under basic conditions. It is demonstrated that the specific interaction between the surfactant and organic salts is responsible for the shape of surfactant micelles and the formation of ethane-bridged PMOs. Specifically, the structure and the hydrophobicity of the organic salts play a major role. The addition of organic salts with more hydrophobic organic moieties, such as sodium salicylate, sodium succinate and sodium benzoate, will increase the surfactant packing parameter more effectively, leading to the mesophase change from cubic Pm3n to 2-D hexagonal P6mm structure, whereas the addition of organic salts with lower hydrophobicity and larger polar head, like sodium oxalate, will result in the mesophase transformation from cubic Pm3n to 3-D hexagonal P6 3 /mmc structure. Moreover, the addition of organic salts will not only affect the micellar formation, but also influence the charge matching at the surfactant/silicate interface as well as the condensation and aggregation kinetics of silica species. The addition of large amount of any organic salts will eventually lead to the formation of PMOs with disordered mesoporous structure. Graphical abstract

Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) are a kind of remarkable adsorbents in environment area due to high surface area, controllable pore size and superior stability. However, the inherent hydrophobicity and strong π-π interaction make OMCs have an advantage for the adsorption of nonpolar pollutants, leading to great demands for the development of new-type OMCs with outstanding adsorption efficiencies towards polar pollutants. The zirconium and nitrogen co-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (Zr/N-OMC) was obtained by directly carbonizing the composites of phenolic resin and UiO-66-NH 2 , with uniform mesopore structure, large surface area (583 m 2 g −1 ) and widely dispersed heteroatoms . Due to these prominent properties, the Zr/N-OMC was fabricated as high-performance solid phase microextraction coating. The results proved that the doping zirconium and nitrogen could act as active sites to interact with polar pollutants, resulting in fast adsorption rate and enhanced adsorption capacity. Therefore, the high-performance Zr/N-OMC-coated fiber was coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to establish sensitive analytical method for the detection of trace phenols from real water samples. This work would open up a new avenue for simple and efficient modification of OMC with enhanced adsorption performance to expand applications.

GaN-functionalized rare earth (Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ ) organic/inorganic mesoporous nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized (designated as RE(L SBA-15) 3 (L GaN); RE = Eu, Tb; L = TAA Si, BTA Si). The organosilane precursor materials (L SBA-15) are synthesized by co-condensation of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and the functionalized β-diketones (TAA Si and BTA Si) in the presence of Pluronic P123 surfactant as a template. The modified β-diketones ligands are also used to covalently bond with surface-modified GaN and formed another precursor L GaN. Both of the precursors can coordinate with rare earth ions to synthesize the final mesoporous materials via a sol–gel process. FTIR, TEM, XRD, and nitrogen (N 2 ) adsorption/desorption measurements are employed to characterize the mesostructure of RE(L SBA-15) 3 (L GaN). The luminescence properties and thermogravimetric analysis of all the prepared materials are characterized in detail, and the results reveal that a series of uniformed mesopore structure hybrid materials has been achieved. The mesoporous material Eu(BTA Si SBA-15) 3 (BTA Si GaN) has better luminescence intensity, higher quantum efficiency, and longer lifetime than Eu(TAA Si SBA-15) 3 (TAA Si GaN). While the nanocomposite Tb(TAA Si SBA-15) 3 (TAA Si GaN) revealed the strongest characteristic emission of Tb 3+ ions than Tb(BTA Si SBA-15) 3 (BTA Si GaN), the excellent luminescent properties and thermal stability enable the hybrid mesoporous material to have potential applications in optical field.
