New insights into the structure–performance relationships of mesoporous materials in analytical science

Abstract

Structure–performance relationships: the structural properties of mesoporous materials that can be optimized to improve the analytical performance are discussed.

Superparamagnetic nanoarchitectures for disease-specific biomarker detection

“…Another review also explored the structure-based relationship for sensing performance; however, no specific biomolecules were considered. 57 No reviews have yet focused on the nanostructures that are specifically engineered for the detection of disease-specific biomarkers. Reports are needed in which the target-specific and unique engineering of nanostructures is comprehensively discussed to guide future science in detecting biomarkers, and hence disease diagnosis and prognosis.…”

3D Carbon Frameworks for Ultrafast Charge/Discharge Rate Supercapacitors with High Energy-Power Density

“…0D Carbon dots [2], 1D carbon nanotubes [3], and 2D graphenes [4] were all explored as electrodes for high performance SCs. In particular, 3D carbon frameworks with high specific surface area, hierarchical porosity and large conductive network are considered as promising electrodes for SCs [5][6][7][8][9]. Carbon nanocages with accessible active sites, thin carbon walls and small hollow spaces can provide high specific capacitance, shorten the transport length for ions and buffer the stress from the expansion and shrinkage during the charge/discharge process [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Eco-friendly and facile one-step synthesis of a three dimensional net-like magnetic mesoporous carbon derived from wastepaper as a renewable adsorbent

“…According to the "structure-performance relationship" of mesoporous materials, SSA is not the only factor determining adsorption performance. 40 Large enough and interconnected mesopores are also critical, which can facilitate the diffusion of adsorbate, thereby increasing the accessibility of inner active sites and shortening the response time. 41,42 Therefore, the poor connectivity and lower D pore , V meso , and V total of FC2 and FC3 compared with that of FC1 (Table 1) decreased the adsorption capacity of FC2 and FC3, even though the pore sizes of FC2 and FC3 were suitable for the molecule sizes of MB and RhB (Table S1 †).…”
