A modified synthesis approach for spherical large pore-diameter SBA-15 mesoporous silica (SLP-SBA-15) with particle size range of 0.5-1microm was being reported. It was worth mentioning that in this improved methodology, the use of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as co-template significantly reduced the self-assembly time from 24h to 45min. Moreover, under reflux condition, the reaction time could be further shortened by reducing the aging time from 48h to 6h. The resultant SLP-SBA-15 was thereafter successfully functionalized and packed into an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) column for the separation of aromatic compounds. A variety of characterizations demonstrated that the silica products exhibited a well-ordered 2d hexagonal mesostructure with well-formed spherical morphology. pore-diameter can be enlarged up to 8.2nm without affecting the structural order. The SLP-SBA-15 samples showed excellent thermal and hydrothermal stabilities. The octadecyltriethoxysilane functionalized SLP-SBA-15 (SLP-C18-SBA-15) was demonstrated to be an effective stationary phase in UHPLC application because the column exhibited significantly reduced column pressure (2800psi) at a flow rate of 0.4ml/min. Accordingly, it would afford greater flexibility for tuning of the flow rate to meet the fast separation requirement.

Neuroprosthetics equipped with artificial synapses hold promise to address some most intricate medical problems, such as human sensory disorders. Yet, it is necessitated and of paramount importance for neuroprosthetics to be able to differentiate significant and insignificant signals. Here, we present an information-filterable artificial retina system that integrates artificial synapses with a signal-integration device for signal perception and processing with attention.

Pore structural regulation is expected to be a facile way to enhance the adsorption performance of MXene. In this work, spherical foam composites consisting of TiCT and sodium alginate (SA) were synthesized via a vacuum freeze-drying technique. By varying the solution volume of TiCT, four distinct TiCT@SA spherical foams with honeycomb-like and lamellar structures with a pore diameter in the range of 100-300 μm were fabricated.

This study focused on persimmons and applied variable-temperature pressure-differential puffing drying to produce persimmon chips. The effects of puffing pressure, holding time, drying temperature, and duration on moisture content, crispness, and sensory scores were examined. The optimal parameters determined via response surface methodology were a pressure differential of 0.

The demand for safer, sustainable, and economical energy storage devices has motivated the development of lithium dual-ion batteries (Li_DIBs) for large-scale storage applications. For the Li_DIBs, expanded graphite (EG) cathodes are valuable as anion intercalation host frameworks to fabricate safer and more cost-effective devices. In this study, three different carbon cathode materials, including microwave-treated expanded graphite (MW-EG), ball-milled expanded graphite (BM-EG), and high-temperature-carbonized carbon nanoflakes (CNFs), were developed by different synthesis methods.

Two emerging strategies to reduce energy inefficiencies aim to protect the freshly formed NH from destruction by the plasma by leveraging NH adsorption properties of porous materials as either catalyst supports or as membranes. As metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising porous materials for adsorption-based applications, we performed large-scale computational screening of 13,460 MOFs to study their potential for the above-mentioned uses.
