A novel magnetic core–shell material polyaniline@SiO 2 @Fe (PANI@SiO 2 @Fe) has been successfully synthesized and investigated as an effective adsorbent for the magnetic solid-phase extraction of typical endocrine disrupting compounds such as bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, and 4-nonylphenol from water samples. The morphology of the as-prepared PANI@SiO 2 @Fe was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The main parameters that influenced the enrichment performance such as the kind of eluent, amount of adsorbent, volume of eluent, adsorption time, elution time, ionic strength, pH, concentration of humic acid, and sample volume were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, a good linear relationship was found in the range of 0.05–100 μg/L for bisphenol A, 0.05–300 μg/L for tetrabromobisphenol A, and 0.05–250 μg/L for 4-nonylphenol, respectively. The correlation coefficients are all above 0.995. The limits of detection were in the range of 0.009–0.04 μg/L, and precisions were under 3.73% ( n = 6). The real water analysis indicated that the spiked recoveries were in the range of 92.9–98.9% ( n = 3). All these results indicated that the developed method was an efficient tool for the analysis of bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, and 4-nonylphenol.

Sustainable nanocomposites with transparent, biodegradable, and enhanced mechanical and barrier properties were prepared by the incorporation of SiO 2 into poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) films and subsequent solvent casting. The crystallinity of composites could be increased by 67% with appropriate contents of SiO 2 , which proved that SiO 2 were effective nucleating agents for PHBH. And it was worth mentioning that the contributions of SiO 2 to the crystallization and thermal stability of composites are proved effectively by Avrami relationship and Horowitz and Metzger method. More importantly, compared with PHBH, it had not only an enhancement about 40% and 60% on the tensile strength and elastic modulus, respectively, but also half the reduction of the moisture and oxygen permeability which were much higher than the values of conventional plastics. The above, in conjunction with the low migration rate measured in food substitutes, illustrated unambiguously that the nanocomposites might be suitable for potential application in food packaging.

Organosilane-functionalized carbon dots (SiCDs) immobilized silica composite nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs) with dually emissive properties have been prepared by a modified sol-gel method. Such Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs nanoparticles solution exhibits blue light emission with a maximum wavelength of 470 nm at lower concentrations, and red-shifts to yellow-green light emission with maximum wavelength of 565 nm at higher concentrations, which is different with traditional carbon dots composite materials displaying strong emission only in the blue-light region. The SiCDs are immobilized in the outer mesoporous silica layer by covalent bonds via proper blending ration, which enables the nanoparticles solution to possess excellent fluorescence stability. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs nanoparticles show good stability, high surface area (483.19 m 2 /g), high saturation magnetization (22.1 emu/g) and low remanence (0.217 emu/g). When the concentration of nanoparticles solution is increased, the distance between the nanoparticles decreases and exhibits the concentration-mediated scattering phenomena, which result in the red-shift of fluorescent peaks. The specific structure of the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs nanoparticles and the concentration-mediated scattering phenomena play key roles in the red-shift appearing.

Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide commonly used in agriculture and residential applications. In this paper, we reported a novel label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for detection of fipronil residues in chicken eggs (mostly accumulated on the egg membrane). We fabricated the SERS substrates composed of the SiO 2 @Au core/shell nanoparticles and probed the contamination of fipronil residue on the egg membrane. The identification of the characteristic Raman bands of fipronil was achieved with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculation, with which we could analyzed the trace amount of fipronil in a quantitative way. As such, this work may provide a practical solution to quick inspection of fipronil contamination in chicken eggs or other foods.

Nowadays, molten salts are widely used in concentrated solar plants as working media to transfer and store solar energy. However, the relatively poor thermal properties of molten salts have restricted their further application. Nevertheless, the addition of nanoparticles to molten salts excellently improves these thermal properties. In present work, solar salt-based nanofluids were prepared using a lyophilizer. The specific heat of solar salt-based SiO 2 nanofluids was experimentally measured based on the sapphire method, and its heat transfer performance was numerically investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. Results indicated that an optimum nanoparticle mass fraction that could enhance heat transfer performance existed. This optimum nanoparticle mass fraction, which was found to be 1.0 wt%, improved the heat transfer coefficient and Nu number by 8.58 and 7.29%, respectively. The parameter analysis indicated that the considerably large change in the specific heat dominated the change in heat transfer performance. Meanwhile, the simulation results of the average Nu numbers exhibited good agreement with the Shah-London correlation prediction to within ±3.0%, indicating the feasibility of using this correlation in designing heat exchangers that utilize solar salt-based SiO 2 nanofluids.

SiO 2 -based ceramics are an ideal material for manufacturing radomes due to their thermal stability, high dielectric properties, and simple processing techniques. However, traditional manufacturing methods heavily rely on molds, making it difficult to form complex SiO 2 -based ceramic structures. Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology was applied to fabricate SiO 2 -based ceramics doped with Al 2 O 3 -MgO in this work. The influence of the Al 2 O 3 -MgO content on the SiO 2 -based ceramics was systematically investigated. Increasing Al 2 O 3 -MgO content causes a shrinkage to first decrease then increase, contrasting with the flexural strength's initial increase and subsequent decrease. The main reason is magnesium-aluminum spinel (MgAl 2 O 4 ) generated during the sintering process and thus retards crack propagation, promoting a transition in fracture mode. During the fracture stage, the fracture mode of samples with 10.0 wt% Al 2 O 3 -MgO is mainly transgranular fracture, instead of intergranular. This transition in fracture mode enhanced the flexural strength. Meanwhile, as the Al 2 O 3 -MgO content continues to increase, excessive spinel causes agglomeration within the ceramic microstructure. When the Al 2 O 3 -MgO content reached 10.0 wt%, the shrinkage decreases to a minimum of 3.32 %, and the flexural strength increases to a maximum of 15.94 MPa, making it suitable for manufacturing ceramic radomes. The research results provide a new solution for manufacturing SiO 2 -based ceramic radomes by DLP.

Silica coating can effectively solve the stability issue of lead halide perovskite nanomaterials. However, it is difficult to achieve aqueous SiO2 coating on hydrophobic CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs). In this paper, the hydrolysis process of tetramethoxysilane was controlled to get a homogeneous SiO2 coating or a NC/SiO2 Janus structure. In step 1, the Cs4PbBr6 NCs were silanized using partially hydrolyzed tetramethoxysilane (PH-TMOS). During this process, the Si–OH groups which came from PH-TMOS were absorbed onto the surface of the Cs4PbBr6 NCs with the removal of hydrophobic oleic acid (OA) ligands. In step 2, phase transformation from Cs4PbBr6 to CsPbBr3 occurred owing to the injection of water. Meanwhile, further hydrolysis of TMOS took place and generated cross-linked Si–O–Si. Because the silanization in step 1 created lots of growth sites, the condensation of SiO2 was not limited to the interface between water and hexane. After growing for 12 h, the fully covered CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules were prepared. The anion exchange reactions of the CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules were studied. Only one even and symmetric PL peak was apparent during the anion exchange process, which was different from the bare CsPbBr3 NCs. This result demonstrated that the SiO2 shell can act as a buffer layer to block the direct contact of CsPbBr3 with the excess PbBr2 precursor in solution. Compared with the CsPbBr3 NCs, CsPbBr3@SiO2 showed better stability in polar solvent and air. A bright green emission was also observed under UV light after 90 days. The successful preparation of CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules with enhanced stability paves the way for the further development of lead halide perovskite nanomaterials.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising treatment for tumors due to its efficiency and non-invasiveness. However, during the PTT treatment, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in response to hyperthermia and thus harm the neighboring normal cells. In this work, a multifunctional theranostic agent (Se@SiO2@Au-PEG/DOX NCs) was exploited to solve this problem by introducing selenium, which can efficiently prevent normal cells from oxidative damage by scavenging reactive oxygen species during photothermal therapy. In addition, the Se@SiO2@Au-PEG/DOX nanocomposites (NCs) not only exhibited excellent properties of combined chemo-thermal synergistic therapy, but also showed no appreciable toxicity towards normal tissues due to the protective effect for continuous release of selenium. Thus, the fabricated Se@SiO2@Au-PEG/DOX NCs provide an integrated solution to overcome the limitations of selenium and PTT, and demonstrate great prospects as a safe and highly reliable theranostic agent.

A biological polymer S-657 (namely BLG) was compounded with nano-SiO 2 to obtain a workover fluid thickener applied in ultra-deep wells. This composite system is expected to improve the thermal stability of single BLG in brines containing high salinities and multi-valent salts at high temperatures. The thickening properties of the unaged BLG/nano-SiO 2 brines were slightly enhanced compared with the BLG brines. However, the anti-aging ability and the salt resistance of BLG could be reinforced significantly by the introduction of nano-SiO 2 at 140 °C in brines with high salinities, especially in mixed brines containing mono- and multi-valent salts. After aging at the high temperature for the BLG/nano-SiO 2 aqueous solution, stretched polymeric chain bundles and integrated aggregating structures complexed with nano-SiO 2 were still observed by TEM , resulting in a significant enhancement of the thickening property. The compound of nano-SiO 2 could keep the pseudoplastic and thixotropic performance of the BLG brines during the aged process at a high temperature. In contrast to the single BLG mixed brine, the viscoelastic property of the BLG/nano-SiO 2 mixed brine was still remarkable after aging for 16 h at 140 °C.

Asymmetric nanocarriers with different functions can achieve synergistic effect in cancer treatment. In this study, asymmetric carbon-silica (C-SiO 2 ) carriers were prepared for drug delivery and combining therapy. The C-SiO 2 carriers presented acorn-like structure with dendritic mesoporous silica hat and carbon body. The carbon body render the carriers photothermal effect. The prepared C-SiO 2 carriers with size around 130 nm have improving cell uptake efficiency, and excellent biocompatibility. After loading doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), menthol (LM) was used to seal the loaded drug (DOX@C-SiO 2 -LM). LM coating can melt above the phase transition temperature, leading to the release of loaded cargo. The DOX@C-SiO 2 -LM displayed temperature/NIR-triggered drug release.

To explore catalysts combining highly accessible specific surface areas with low recombination of the photo-induced electron–hole pairs, a novel SiO2@PDA@BiOBr composite photocatalyst with a hierarchical core–shell structure was prepared by a facile solvothermal method. The catalyst shows a superior performance on photodegradation of Rhodamine B under visible light irradiation, especially for SiO2@PDA-2@BiOBr with the reactant kinetics constant (k = 0.0487 min−1). The enhanced photocatalytic performance of SiO2@PDA-2@BiOBr was ascribed to the decreased band-gap, higher surface area, and effectively photo-generated electron–hole pairs by the introduction of polydopamine (PDA). In addition, the photocatalytic degradation is initiated by ˙O2− derived from dye photosensitization and h+ from the BiOBr. Cyclic experiments also indicate that the SiO2@PDA-2@BiOBr is reusable during the photodegradation process. The hierarchical core–shell SiO2@PDA@BiOBr photocatalyst will provide a theoretical model for the development of physical chemistry and structural properties of BiOBr-based composites to enhance the photocatalytic performances.

Both negatively charged SiO 2 nanoparticle and positively charged AlOOH nanoparticle have been widely used in various fields, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In this study, the mixed binary AlOOH/SiO 2 nanoparticle (MBN) systems are constructed and firstly employed in EOR. The measurements of zeta potential and Z-average diameter indicate that the stable MBN aqueous dispersion could be obtained by controlling AlOOH/SiO 2 mass ratios, which is quantificationally confirmed via the e-DLVO theory. Then the ternary TX-100-AlOOH-SiO 2 (TX-A-S) system exhibits the great ability to stabilize the emulsion at the much low nanoparticle concentration (0.15 wt% in total). The emulsion stability is further evaluated in the harsh conditions (high shear, temperature and electrolyte concentration). Moreover, core flooding and microscopic visualization experiments reflect the TX-A-S stabilized emulsion can dramatically enhance tertiary oil recovery (~23% of initial oil in place), which should be attributed to the high improvement of both displacement and sweep efficiency.
