Spectroscopic insight into post-synthetic surface modification of porous glass beads as a silica model system

Abstract

Applications in catalysis, adsorption and separation require high surface areas as provided by mesoporous materials. Particularly attractive is the class of silica-based mesoporous glasses, which are mechanically and chemically very...

A supervised learning-assisted multi-scale study for thermal and mechanical behavior of porous Silica

“…Notably, the limited surface of these ceramics imposes challenges on the optimization of catalytic and adsorption processes. Besides this limitation, their inherent non-porous nature, limits their versatility in accommodating diverse molecular species, thereby limiting their utility in applications requiring high-level reactivity [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] ]. Addressing these drawbacks is critical to the advancement of materials science, prompting the exploration of new porous silica-based materials to overcome the inherent limitations of traditional non-porous ones.…”

Exploring the structure of type V deep eutectic solvents by xenon NMR spectroscopy

“…In this view, the NMR spectroscopy of noble gases, 19,20 especially xenon, with its ability to probe the matter on the nanoscale in a non-destructive way can give highly detailed information about the complex nanostructure of these neoteric materials. 129 Xe NMR has been traditionally applied to characterize the structure of widely different porous systems such as zeolites, 21,22 mesoporous silica, and silica-based materials, [23][24][25] porous carbonbased materials, [26][27][28][29] polymers, [30][31][32] and metal-organic frameworks. 33,34 However 129 Xe has also been used as an inert NMR probe to characterize the structure of isotropic and anisotropic liquids.…”
