It is well-known that silica can be etched in alkaline media or in a unique hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution, which is widely used to prepare various kinds of hollow nanostructures (including silica hollow structures) via silica-templating methods. In our experiments, we found that stöber silica spheres could be etched in generic acidic media in a well-controlled way under hydrothermal conditions, forming well-defined hollow/rattle-type silica spheres. Furthermore, some salts such as NaCl and Na(2)SO(4) were found to be favorable for the formation of hollow/rattle-type silica spheres.

Article Synopsis
- A novel Pickering interfacial biocatalysis (PIB) system was created for the enzymatic hydrolysis of algae and fish oils to enrich n-3 PUFAs glycerides.
- Lipase AY 400SD was successfully immobilized on hollow core-shell silica nanoparticles, enhancing its effectiveness as an emulsifier in the water-in-oil Pickering emulsion.
- The PIB system increased the n-3 PUFAs content by 9.17% to 23.09% and achieved over 90% recovery of n-3 PUFAs, proving to be stable and recyclable for future use.

An applicable and highly efficient methodology for the preparation of medium- and long-chain triglycerides (MLCTs) via the enzymatic transesterification of coconut oil with long-chain fatty acid triglycerides, named camellia oil, olive oil, linseed oil, algal oil, and rapeseed oil, respectively, has been proposed. The novel system achieved equilibrium in 5 min, and the MLCT yield ranged from 78.7 to 83.

Chloroform and other volatile organic pollutants have garnered widespread attention from the public and researchers, because of their potential harm to the respiratory system, nervous system, skin, and eyes. However, research on chloroform vapor sensing is still in its early stages, primarily due to the lack of specific recognition motif. Here we report a mesoporous photonic crystal sensor incorporating carbon dots-based nanoreceptor (HMSS@CDs-PCs) for enhanced chloroform sensing.

Surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) composed of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), ethanol, and water have been successfully fabricated by visual titration and electrical conductivity methods. Three types of SFMEs, water in TEOS (W/O), bicontinuous (BC) and TEOS in water (O/W), were identified by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy with negative-staining methods. We demonstrated that there are significant differences in the properties of silica products synthesized with different types of SFMEs, and monodispersed silica colloidal spheres (MSCSs) can only be synthesized in the O/W type SFMEs.

The impact of inner-sphere water molecules on the binding of rare earth (RE) nitrates to MCM-22 aluminosilicates is analyzed. We used cluster models of MCM-22 to investigate the binding phenomena through localized-basis density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We also conducted plane-wave DFT calculations for a few selected binding configurations using the entire periodic MCM-22 unit cell to check for consistency.
