Magnetic mesoporous carbon for efficient removal of organic pollutants

Carbon materials such as activated carbons have been used in the field of water and wastewater treatments. However, the lack of mesopore and, particularly, the difficulty in recovering the spent carbon limited their applications. In this work, magnetic mesoporous carbon microspheres were synthesized by impregnating iron oxide precursors in the mesoporous carbon followed by the in situ conversion of the precursors into magnetite nanoparticles. The as-synthesized carbon microspheres with a high surface area of 742?m²/g and large mesopores of ～4.4?nm exhibited an excellent adsorption capacity for aqueous organic pollutants. The superparamagnetic microspheres with a saturation magnetization of 7.15 emu/g can be easily separated from the treated solution by external magnetic field.     

Isomerism in Titanium‐Oxo Clusters: Molecular Anatase Model with Atomic Structure and Improved Photocatalytic Activity

Phase isomerism is a common and important phenomenon in inorganic materials, but the molecular isomerism of their nanocluster models is still rare. In this work, we report the first pair of isomeric titanium‐oxo clusters. Through combining pentagonal {Ti(Ti₅)} building units in corner‐sharing or edge‐sharing forms, the two obtained Ti₂₀‐oxo clusters take vertical and horizontal core configurations, respectively, which are both functionalized by the same organic ligands. More interestingly, the vertical type Ti₂₀‐oxo core contains an identical {Ti₈O₁₄} moiety as anatase, making it the first molecular model of anatase TiO₂. As a result, the vertical type cluster exhibits better photocatalytic H₂ evolution activity, higher photocurrent response and faster charge transfer to external acceptors than its horizontal isomer. Thus, this work provides a cluster isomer method to understand the structure–property relationship of import titanium oxide materials.     

Unraveling the Interfacial Charge Migration Pathway at the Atomic Level in a Highly Efficient Z‐Scheme Photocatalyst

A highly efficient Z‐scheme photocatalytic system constructed with 1D CdS and 2D CoS₂ exhibited high photocatalytic hydrogen‐evolution activity of 5.54 mmol h^?1 g^?1 with an apparent quantum efficiency of 10.2 % at 420 nm. More importantly, its interfacial charge migration pathway was unraveled: The electrons are efficiently transferred from CdS to CoS₂ through a transition atomic layer connected by Co–S_5.8 coordination, thus resulting in more photogenerated carriers participating in surface reactions. Furthermore, the charge‐trapping and charge‐transfer processes were investigated by transient absorption spectroscopy, which gave an estimated charge‐separation yield of approximately 91.5 % and a charge‐separated‐state lifetime of approximately (5.2±0.5) ns in CdS/CoS₂. This study elucidates the key role of interfacial atomic layers in heterojunctions and will facilitate the development of more efficient Z‐scheme photocatalytic systems.

Shape-controlled solvothermal synthesis of bismuth subcarbonate nanomaterials

Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of novel nanostructured materials because of their unique properties and potential applications. Bismuth subcarbonate ((BiO)₂CO₃) is one of commonly used antibacterial agents against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Different (BiO)₂CO₃ nanostructures such as cube-like nanoparticles, nanobars and nanoplates, were fabricated from bismuth nitrate via a simple solvothermal method. The nanostructures were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It was found that the solvents and precursors have an influence on the morphologies of (BiO)₂CO₃ nanostructures. The possible formation mechanism of different (BiO)₂CO₃ nanostructures fabricated under different conditions was also discussed.

Facile synthesis of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with controlled morphologies using water–acetone media

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles with controlled morphologies including nanococoons, nanorods and nanospheres have been synthesized in water–acetone media at room temperature using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the template. The obtained nanoparticles generally show hexagonal-like mesoporous structures with average pore size ranging from 2.7 to 3.3 nm and surface area from 806 to 1055 m²/g, respectively. It was found that the changes in water-to-acetone molar ratios have a dramatic impact on the morphologies of the mesoporous silica with different surface roughness, probably due to the solvent influence on the rate of the hydrolysis of tetraethoxy silane (TEOS) and the polymerization of inorganic species. Interestingly, the morphology of the mesoporous silica products can be controlled in shape from nanococoons to nanorods to nanospheres just by decreasing the water-to-acetone molar ratio from 75 to 30 to 15, respectively. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, it was observed that mesoporous parallel channels run along the short axis in some areas in the nanorods, whereas the radially arranged mesopore channels are present in the nanospheres. Additionally, hydrothermal treatment leads to rougher surfaces while retaining the morphologies and nanostructures of these mesoporous silicas.
