An Eco‐Friendly, Tunable and Scalable Method for Producing Porous Functional Nanomaterials Designed Using Molecular Interactions

Abstract: Despite significant improvements in the synthesis of templated silica materials, post‐synthesis purification remains highly expensive and renders the materials industrially unviable. In this study this issue is addressed for porous bioinspired silica by developing a rapid room‐temperature solution method for complete extraction of organic additives. Using elemental analysis and N2 and CO2 adsorption, the ability to both purify and controllably tailor the composition, porosity and surface chemistry of bioinspir… Show more

“…Significant effort has been expended in attempting to avoid this, with effective solvent removal being touted as an excellent alternative to traditional lab-scale calcination [27]. However, refluxing solvents, which is generally required during removal, can actually push the energy intensity of these removal methods above those of calcination [34]. Redesign of the organic molecule has therefore gone a long way towards achieving milder surfactant removal, especially with regards to (bio-)degradable additives [35] or additives with tailored, softer surface interactions to enable milder removal [36e38].…”
