Inorganic/organic hybrid silica-chitosan (CS) scaffolds have promising potential for bone defect repair, due to the controllable mechanical properties, degradation behavior, and scaffold morphology. However, the precise in vivo immuno-reactivity of silica-CS hybrids with various compositions is still poorly defined. In this study, we fabricated the three-dimensional (3D) interconnected porous chitosan-silica (CS/SiO 2 ) and chitosan-silica-hydroxyapatite (CS/SiO 2 /HA) hybrids, through sol–gel process and 3D plotting skill, followed by the naturally or freeze drying separately. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated the hybrids possessed the uniform geometric structure, while, transmission electron microscopy displayed nanoscale silica, or HA nanoparticles dispersed homogeneously in the CS matrix, or CS/silica hybrids. After intramuscular implantation, CS/SiO 2 and CS/SiO 2 /HA hybrids triggered a local and limited monocyte/macrophage infiltration and myofiber degeneration. Naturally dried CS/SiO 2 hybrid provoked a more severe inflammation than the freeze-dried ones. Dendritic cells were attracted to invade into the implants embedded-muscle, but not be activated to prime the adaptive immunity, because the absence of cytotoxic T cells and B cells in muscle received the implants. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis indicated the implanted hybrids were incapable to initiate splenocytes activation. Plasma complement C3 enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay showed the hybrids induced C3 levels increase in early implanting phase, and the subsequent striking decrease. Thus, the present results suggest that, in vivo , 3D plotted porous CS/SiO 2 and CS/SiO 2 /HA hybrids are relatively biocompatible in vivo, which initiate a localized inflammatory procedure, instead of a systematic immune response. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Herein, we have developed a facile and low-cost method for the synthesis of novel graphene based nanosorbents. Firstly, well-defined Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were decorated onto graphene sheets, and then a layer of mesoporous SiO 2 were deposited on the surface of the Fe 3 O 4 -graphene composites. The obtained Fe 3 O 4 -graphene@mesoporous SiO 2 nanocomposites (denoted as MG@m-SiO 2 ) were characterized by scanning electron microscopic (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The adsorptive property was investigated by using MG@m-SiO 2 as sorbents and Methylene Blue (MB), a common dye, as model of the organic pollutants. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics as well as effects of pH and adsorbent dose on the adsorption were studied. The adsorption isotherms and kinetics are better described by Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, respectively. Thermodynamic studies suggest that the adsorption of MB onto the MG@m-SiO 2 is endothermic and spontaneous process. The results imply that the MG@m-SiO 2 can be served as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of organic pollutants from aqueous solutions.

To improve the efficiency of solar cells, antireflective films require not only high optical properties but also high mechanical properties. The antireflective films were prepared by tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) as precursors and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO) as the porogen. The microstructures, optical properties, and mechanical properties of the prepared antireflective films were examined. The results indicated that the AEO volume ratio had an obvious effect on film porosity, refractive index and average transmittance. With the increase of AEO content, the film’s porosity and the average transmittance firstly increased then decreased, the refractive index firstly decreased then increased in the wavelength range of 400–1100 nm. In the meanwhile, both the film’s surface hardness and adhesion strength increased with the increasing of the AEO addition. When the volume ratio of AEO is 45%, the porosity of the film is 48%,the refractive index value for 550 nm wavelength is 1.26and the maximum transmittance is 98.50%.The highest amount of light passing through a material, also known as transmittance, is recorded at an average of 91.98%within the wavelength range of 400–1100 nm, which is 4.64%higher than that of blank glass. In addition, the hardness of the film reaches the highest level for soft films 9H, and its adhesion strength also reaches the highest level of the tape method, 0 grade.

In this work, a PAMAM@SiO2 demulsifier was synthesized by the reaction of a hyperbranched poly (amido amine) (PAMAM) and KH570 modified SiO2. The structure, morphology and composition of PAMAM@SiO2 were characterized by FT-IR, SEM and EDS. The effect of the concentration of PAMAM@SiO2, salinity and temperature on the demulsification performance was systematically studied. The results showed that the transmittance of aqueous phase after demulsification could reach as high as 92.1% at optimal conditions, and corresponding oil removal rate was 99.53%. Interfacial activity, three-phase contact angle, self-assembly of interfacial film and dynamic interfacial tension were investigated to explore the demulsification mechanism. Also, the aggregation process of oil droplets in emulsion was observed with a microscope. It indicates that the PAMAM@SiO2 demulsifier has a potential application in the treatment process of oily wastewater.

A series of Ni 5 Ga 3 / m -SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 /Al-fiber ( m = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 wt%) catalysts have been developed for CO 2 hydrogenation to methanol at ambient pressure. Microfibrous-structured SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 /Al-fiber supports are obtained though endogenous growth of free-standing boehmite (AlOOH) nanosheets onto a three-dimensional (3D) network of 60 μm-Al-fiber thin felt with the aid of steam-only hydrothermal oxidation reaction between Al metal and H 2 O (2 Al + 4H 2 O → 2 AlOOH + 3H 2 ), followed by calcination and SiO 2 -modification using silica sol. The bimetallic Ni 5 Ga 3 nanoparticles are then placed onto the pore surface of as-obtained SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 /Al-fiber support by co-impregnation method using Ni and Ga nitrates as precursors followed by reduction in H 2 at 630 °C. The promising Ni 5 Ga 3 /1-SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 /Al-fiber catalyst is capable of converting 2.3% CO 2 into CH 3 OH with a high selectivity of 86.7% as well as 10.3%/3.0% selectivities to CO/CH 4 at 210 °C, for a feed of CO 2 /H 2 /N 2 (2/6/1, molar ratio). Such microfibrous-structured catalyst design combines the promising catalytic performance of Ni 5 Ga 3 with the enhanced heat transfer and high permeability of the Al 2 O 3 /Al-fiber support. The effect of SiO 2 loading on the formation of Ni 5 Ga 3 alloy nanoparticles is also discussed.

In this study, EDTA-functionalized Fe 3 O 4 (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -EDTA) was prepared by silanization reaction between N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl) ethylenediamine triacetic acid (EDTA-silane) and hydroxyl groups for Pb(II) and Cu(II) removal from aqueous solutions. Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -EDTA composites were characterized using SEM, TEM, EDX, FTIR, XPS, TGA and saturated magnetization techniques. Maximum Pb(II) adsorption capacity was found to be 114.94 mg g −1 with SiO 2 /EDTA molar ratio of 2.5:1. The adsorption rate was significantly fast and the equilibrium was reached within 10 min. The optimum pH was recorded to be 5.0. The maximum adsorption capacity of the studied heavy metal ions calculated by Langmuir model followed the order: Cu(II) (0.58 mmol g −1 ) > Pb(II) (0.55 mmol g −1 ) ≈ Ni(II) (0.55 mmol g −1 ) > Cd(II) (0.45 mmol g −1 ). Moreover, Pb(II) and Cu(II) adsorption capacities were not significantly affected by co-existing cations and NOM. These results suggested that this adsorbent can be considered as a promising adsorbent to remove Pb(II) and Cu(II) from wastewaters.

The polymerization-induced colloid aggregation (PICA) method is commonly used to create SiO 2 @SiO 2 core–shell silica microspheres (CSSMs), but it often encounters challenges such as incomplete shell coating and poor reproducibility. In this paper, the formation mechanism of the silica shell layer during the preparation of SiO 2 @SiO 2 CSSMs using the PICA method was investigated. It was found that ureido modification can reduce the Zeta potential of the silica core surface, facilitating the deposition of coacervates formed by urea-formaldehyde resin (UF) and silica nanoparticles on the silica core surface to form the SiO 2 shell layer when the Zeta potential of the surface is in the range of −20.1 mV to −4.8 mV. By controlling the interfacial state and surface potential of the SiO 2 core, the issue of inconsistent reproducibility in preparing SiO 2 @SiO 2 CSSMs can be overcome. Furthermore, optimization of experimental parameters such as pH, reaction temperature, water content, and reaction time can enhance the formation process. The thickness of the shell and pore size of CSSMs can be successfully adjusted by varying the reaction time and the particle size of colloidal silica sol, respectively. With optimal conditions, the semi-scale production yield of SiO 2 @SiO 2 CSSMs can be increased to 50 g. The SiO 2 @SiO 2 CSSMs were modified with octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODS) to be used as stationary phases in reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) for fast separation of small solutes, peptides, and proteins. The superior separation efficiency indicates that the improved PICA method has the potential to be utilized as an alternative to the layer-by-layer method for large-scale production of SiO 2 @SiO 2 CSSMs.

As we all know, the various excellent properties of perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted attention in recent years. However, thei work stability is still the bottleneck to be solved urgently in their commercialization process. In this study, we encapsulated CsPbBr3 quantum dots in nano-SiO2 (inorganic) by a high-temperature sintering method and investigated the changes in optical stability before and after encapsulation. The SiO2 shell can effectively suppress anion exchange and photodegradation, which greatly improves the photothermal stability of shell NCs. Preparation of composite films by mixing CsPbBr3–SiO2 (inorganic) and polymer material PMMA (organic) by a solvent solution method can further enhance its stability. Meanwhile, the backlight display device realized the practical application of CsPbBr3–SiO2/CsPbBr1.2I1.8@PMMA with a wide color gamut (112% of the NTSC, 84% of the Rec. 2020). This is a very significant step to open up the awkward situation of the practical application of perovskite NC materials in backlight displays.

Thermosensitive poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (POEGMA) was grafted on SiO 2 nanoparticles using activators generated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (AGET-ATRP) technique. The effects of the amount of ligand, catalyst, ascorbic acid and monomer, as well as the reaction temperature and time were systematically investigated and optimized to get a high grafting density. The structure of the hybrid materials was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and the morphology was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. Thermosensitive properties of SiO 2 -POEGMA particles were investigated at different grafting densities by turbidity measurements.

Fluxing agents of zinc borate, antimony oxide, galss frit A and glass frit B, with different melting or softening point temperatures, were added into MgO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 /boron phenol formaldehyde resin (MAS/BPF) composites to lower the formation temperature of eutectic liquid phase and promote the ceramification of ceramifiable composites. The effects of fluxing agents on the thermogravimetric properties, phase evolution, and microstructure evolution of MAS / BPF composites were characterized by TG-DSC, XRD and SEM analyses. The results reveal that the addition of a fluxing agent highly reduces the decomposition rate of MAS / BPF composites. Fluxing agents lower the formation temperatures of liquid phases of ceramifiable MAS / BPF composites obviously, and then promote the ceramification and densification process. The final residues of composites are ceramic surrounded by large amount of glass phases.

The electrochemical splitting of water requires efficient functional electrodes. Herein, we report the fabrication of electrocatalyst consisted of an electrodeposited NiFeP alloy film which was composite plated with nano-SiO 2 on nickel foam. The structure and morphology of the film were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the surface area of this NiFeP -SiO 2 co-deposition alloy film can be significantly increased after electrochemical etching in a KOH solution. The water splitting properties of the alloy film were evaluated using electrochemistry . By using the NiFeP -SiO 2 / NF (Etched) as a bifunctional electrode, total water splitting has been demonstrated in a two-electrode cell with a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at an applied voltage of 1.57 V, which exhibited enhanced water splitting activity in comparison to the analogue cell using the pristine NiFeP / NF electrode.

Cellulosic ethanol is a pivotal biofuel, and its chemocatalytic production from lignocellulosic biomass is crucial for addressing global energy challenges. In this study, a series of Pt-loaded catalysts were developed by sequentially loading varying weight percentages (wt %) of Pt and W onto SiO2 carriers using the impregnation method. The catalysts were comprehensively characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy to analyze the metal dispersion and active oxidation states on the SiO2 support. Under hydrothermal conditions (240 °C and 4 MPa H2), cellulose was directly converted to ethanol in the aqueous phase, achieving an ethanol yield of 37.5 C%. The catalysts demonstrated excellent stability, maintaining high activity over at least five consecutive reaction cycles. Notably, the WO3 component played a key role in facilitating C–C bond cleavage and hydrolyzing cellulose into glucose and ethanal intermediates. These intermediates were swiftly transferred to the Pt active sites, further promoting the formation of ethylene glycol. Among the catalysts, 3%Pt-15%WO3/SiO2 exhibited optimal performance due to its well-balanced ratios of Pt0 and Pt2+, which enabled selective C–O bond activation and significantly enhanced ethanol production.
