Design, Fabrication and Characterization of Multi-Yolk@Shell NiCuFe₂ O₄ @mSiO₂ Mesoporous Nanocomposite Spheres for the Synthesis of Pyrimido-Quinolines under Solvent-Free Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Multi-yolk@shell mesoporous silica spheres are becoming more and more attractive as high-performance catalysts because of their high surface areas, variable pore sizes, and low densities. In this work, a NiCuFe₂ O₄ magnetic core with a shell of mesoporous silica mesoporous has been prepared in an easy two-step procedure. The prepared multi-yolk@shell NiCuFe₂ O₄ @mSiO₂ spheres were characterized by using FT-IR, XRD, VSM, EDX, BET, FE-SEM and HR-TEM techniques. These unique multi-yolk@shell NiCuFe₂ O₄ @mSiO₂ spheres demonstrated high catalytic activity for the synthesis of pyrimidoquinolines. Also, this method exposes obvious benefits such as catalyst recyclability, easy reaction condition, simplicity of work up, high product yields and short reaction times.

Single-step coating of mesoporous SiO2 onto nanoparticles: growth of yolk-shell structures from core-shell structures.

Project description:Yolk-shell nanoparticles based on mesoporous SiO2 (mSiO2) coating of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) hold great promise for many applications in e.g., catalysis, biomedicine, and sensing. Here, we present a single-step coating approach for synthesizing Au NP@mSiO2 yolk-shell particles with tunable size and tunable hollow space between yolk and shell. The Au NP-mSiO2 structure can be manipulated from core-shell to yolk-shell by varying the concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), Au NPs, and NaOH. The growth mechanism of the yolk-shell particles was investigated in detail and consists of a concurrent process of growth, condensation, and internal etching through an outer shell. We also show by means of liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (LC-TEM) that Au nanotriangle cores (Au NTs) in yolk-shell particles that are stuck on the mSiO2 shell, can be released by mild etching thereby making them mobile and tumbling in a liquid-filled volume. Due to the systematical investigation of the reaction parameters and understanding of the formation mechanism, the method can be scaled-up by at least an order of magnitude. This route can be generally used for the synthesis of yolk-shell structures with different Au nanoparticle shapes, e.g., nanoplatelets, nanorods, nanocubes, for yolk-shell structures with other metals at the core (Ag, Pd, and Pt), and additionally, using ligand exchange with other nanoparticles as cores and for synthesizing hollow mSiO2 spheres as well.

Nitrogen-Doped Cobalt Pyrite Yolk-Shell Hollow Spheres for Long-Life Rechargeable Zn-Air Batteries.

Project description:Limited by the sluggish four-electron transfer process, designing high-performance nonprecious electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is urgently desired for efficient rechargeable Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, the successful synthesis of porous nitrogen-doped cobalt pyrite yolk-shell nanospheres (N-CoS2 YSSs) is reported. Benefiting from the abundant porosity of the porous yolk-shell structure and unique electronic properties by nitrogen doping, the as-prepared N-CoS2 YSSs possess more exposed active surface, thus giving rise to superior activity for reversible oxygen electrocatalysis and outstanding cycling stability (more than 165 h at 10 mA cm-2) in ZABs, exceeding the commercial Pt/C and RuO2 hybrid catalysts. Moreover, the assembled ZABs, delivering a specific capacity of 640 mAh gZn -1, can be used for practical devices. This work provides a novel tactic to engineer sulfides as high efficiency and promising bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts for advanced metal-air batteries.

Small Naked Pt Nanoparticles Confined in Mesoporous Shell of Hollow Carbon Spheres for High-Performance Nonenzymatic Sensing of H2O2 and Glucose.

Project description:Nonenzyme direct electrochemical sensing of hydrogen peroxide and glucose by highly active nanomaterial-modified electrode has attracted considerable attention. Among the reported electrochemical sensing materials, hollow carbon sphere (HCS) is an attractive carbon support because of its large specific surface area, porous structure, and easy accessibility for target molecules. In this study, naked Pt nanoparticles with average size of 3.13 nm are confined in mesoporous shells of hollow carbon spheres (Pt/HCS) by using one-step synthesis, which can not only produce highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles with clean surface, but also avoid the relatively slow impregnation-reduction process. The surface area of the obtained Pt/HCS (566.30 m2 g-1) is larger than that of HCS, attributing to the enlarged surface area after Pt nanoparticles deposition. The average pore width of Pt/HCS (3.33 nm) is smaller than that of HCS (3.84 nm), indicating the filling of Pt nanoparticles in the mesopores of carbon shells. By using the as-synthesized Pt/HCS as nonenzymatic sensing material, H2O2 and glucose can be detected with high sensitivity and selectivity. The linear range toward H2O2 sensing is from 0.3 to 2338 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.1 μM. For glucose sensing, Pt/HCS exhibited two linear ranges from 0.3 to 10 mM and from 10 to 50 mM with an LOD of 0.1 mM. In addition, the Pt/HCS exhibited higher electrochemical stability than commercial Pt/C in acid solution. The present study demonstrates that Pt/HCS is a promising sensing material for electrochemical detection of both H2O2 and glucose.

Au nanobipyramids@mSiO2 core-shell nanoparticles for plasmon-enhanced singlet oxygen photooxygenations in segmented flow microreactors.

Project description:The plasmonic features of gold nanomaterials provide intriguing optical effects which can find potential applications in various fields. These effects depend strongly on the size and shape of the metal nanostructures. For instance, Au bipyramids (AuBPs) exhibit intense and well-defined plasmon resonance, easily tunable by controlling their aspect ratio, which can act synergistically with chromophores for enhancing their photophysical properties. In Rose Bengal-nanoparticle systems it is now well established that the control of the dye-to-nanoparticle distance ranging from 10 to 20 nm as well as spectral overlaps is crucial to achieve appropriate coupling between the plasmon resonance and the dye, thus affecting its ability to generate singlet oxygen (1O2). We have developed AuBPs@mSiO2 core-shell nanostructures that provide control over the distance between the metal surface and the photosensitizers for improving the production of 1O2 (metal-enhanced 1O2 production - ME1O2). A drastic enhancement of 1O2 generation is evidenced for the resulting AuBPs and AuBPs@mSiO2 in the presence of Rose Bengal, using a combination of three indirect methods of 1O2 detection, namely in operando Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMP) as a chemical trap, photooxygenation of the fluorescence probe anthracene-9,10-dipropionic acid (ADPA), and photooxygenation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide in a segmented flow microreactor.

Au nanoparticle@hollow mesoporous carbon with FeCo/graphitic shell nanoparticls as a magnetically recyclable yolk-shell nanocatalyst for catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics.

Project description:We have developed a highly stable and magnetically recyclable yolk-shell nanocatalyst for catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics. This nanocatalyst is composed of a ~13 nm Au nanoparticle encapsulated in a hollow mesoporous carbon (hmC) shell with a diameter of ~120 nm and a thickness of ~15 nm. The hmC shell contains ~6 nm FeCo/graphitic carbon shell (FeCo/GC) nanoparticles. We have synthesized the Au@hmC-FeCo/GC nanocatalyst by thermal decomposition of Fe and Co precursors in silica of a solid core/mesoporous shell structure containing a Au nanoparticle within the core, subsequent ethylene chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and then removal of the silica by treatment with aqueous HF. The Au@hmC-FeCo/GC has superparamagnetism and high saturation magnetization (29.2 emu g-1) at room temperature. It also shows a type IV sorption isotherm, typical for mesoporous carbon (pore diameter = 3.5 nm), thereby ensuring ready accessibility to the Au core by substrates. We have shown that the Au@hmC-FeCo/GC catalyses the reduction of 4-nitrophenol and 4-nitrotoluene more efficiently than Au nanoparticles do, can be separated very quickly from the reaction mixture using an magnet, and can be reused for the same reduction reaction at least five times without loss of the initial level of catalytic activity.

Synthesis and characterization of magnetic mesoporous Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA nanoparticles for adsorption of 16 rare earth elements.

Project description:In this study, novel magnetic mesoporous Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA nanoparticles were prepared for efficiently adsorbing and recycling REEs. Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption behavior of Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA was investigated by ICP-OES. The results showed that the content of DODGA in the adsorbent was 367 μmol g-1. Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA exhibited the highest adsorption rates for 15 REEs, except Tm, in a 2 mol L-1 nitric acid solution. Among these elements, the adsorption rates for Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho, Yb, Lu, Y and Sc ranged from 85.1% to 100.1%. The desorption rates for all 16 REE ions reached their maximum values when 0.01 mol L-1 EDTA was used as the eluent. The desorption rates for Nd, Ce, Sm, Eu, Ho, Yb, Lu, Y, and Sc were 87.7-99.8%. Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA had high stability in 2 mol L-1 HNO3 and could be used five times without significant loss of adsorption capacity. Moreover, these nanoparticles had high selectivity, and their adsorption rate was not affected even in a high-concentration solution of a coexisting ion. Therefore, 8 REE ions (Nd, Sm, Eu, Ho, Yb, Lu, Y, and Sc) were selected for the study of adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm experiments. It was demonstrated that the values of Q e (equilibrium adsorption capacity) for Nd, Sm, Eu, Ho, Yb, Lu, Y, and Sc were 14.28-60.80 mg g-1. The adsorption of REEs on Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, Elovich model and Langmuir isotherm model, which indicated that the adsorption process of Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA for REEs comprised single-layer adsorption on a non-uniform surface controlled by chemical adsorption. It was concluded that Fe3O4@mSiO2-DODGA represents a new material for the adsorption of REEs in strongly acidic solutions.

Mesoporous carbon spheres with programmable interiors as efficient nanoreactors for H2O2 electrosynthesis.

Project description:The nanoreactor holds great promise as it emulates the natural processes of living organisms to facilitate chemical reactions, offering immense potential in catalytic energy conversion owing to its unique structural functionality. Here, we propose the utilization of precisely engineered carbon spheres as building blocks, integrating micromechanics and controllable synthesis to explore their catalytic functionalities in two-electron oxygen reduction reactions. After conducting rigorous experiments and simulations, we present compelling evidence for the enhanced mass transfer and microenvironment modulation effects offered by these mesoporous hollow carbon spheres, particularly when possessing a suitably sized hollow architecture. Impressively, the pivotal achievement lies in the successful screening of a potent, selective, and durable two-electron oxygen reduction reaction catalyst for the direct synthesis of medical-grade hydrogen peroxide disinfectant. Serving as an exemplary demonstration of nanoreactor engineering in catalyst screening, this work highlights the immense potential of various well-designed carbon-based nanoreactors in extensive applications.

TiO2 Hollow Spheres With Flower-Like SnO2 Shell as Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:SnO2 is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacity and low operation voltage. However, its poor cycling performance hinders its commercial application. In order to improve the cycling stability of SnO2 electrodes, novel flower-like SnO2/TiO2 hollow spheres were prepared by facile hydrothermal method using carbon spheres as templates. Their flower-like shell and mesoporous structure highlighted a large specific surface area and excellent ion migration performance. Their TiO2 hollow sphere matrix and 2D SnO2 nano-flakes ensured good cycle stability. The electrochemical measurements indicated that novel flower-like SnO2/TiO2 hollow spheres delivered a high specific capacity, low irreversible capacity loss and superior rate performance. After 1,000 cycles at current densities of 200 mA g-1, the capacity of the flower-like SnO2/TiO2 hollow spheres was still maintained at 720 mAh g-1. Their rate capacity reached 486 mAh g-1 when the current densities gradually increase to 2,000 mA g-1.
