Hierarchical mesoporous zeolite Beta microspheres (Beta-MPs) from assembly of nanocrystals were successfully one-step-synthesized through a simple polymer agent. The Beta-MPs sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and thermogravimetric analysis. The characteristics of the samples are comparable with conventional Beta zeolite. The Beta-MPs with a hierarchical mesoporous structure and a uniform size could be easily separated with filtration. This procedure successfully avoided the high-speed centrifugation of the nano-zeolites during the traditional method. As catalysts, the Beta-MPs showed higher catalytic activity and selectivity than conventional Beta in alkylation of benzene with isopropanol to cumene.

The low conductivity of sulfur substances and the fussy effect of lithium polysulfides (LPS) limit the practical application of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). In this work, NiS is in situ synthesized on N-doped 3D carbon nanofibers with an optimized pore structure as a cathode material for LSBs. The conductive carbon nanofiber skeleton with a hierarchical (micropore-mesopore-macropore) structure etched by Cd can reduce the interface resistance of the cathode and remiss volume expansion during charge-discharge progress.

High-performance electrocatalysts are highly concerned in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) related energy applications. However, facile synthesis of hierarchically porous structures with highly exposed active sites and improved mass transfer is challenging. Herein, we develop a novel assembly-foaming strategy for synthesizing hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped carbon supported single-atom iron catalysts.

One-dimensional (1D) hierarchical photocatalyst has the advantages of 1D materials and hierarchical materials, which is a kind of potential high performance photocatalytic materials. However, how to efficiently synthesize 1D hierarchical BiOBr is still a huge challenge. Herein, 1D rod-like BiO(OH)(NO)·3HO, the hydrolysis product of Bi(NO)·5HO, was acted as both the template and Bi source to synthesize 1D hierarchical hollow BiOBr (1DHHBr) through a facile solution stirring method at room temperature, using KBr as Br source.

This study explores mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) that show promise as advanced therapeutic delivery platforms owing to their tailorable porous properties enabling enhanced drug loading capacity and biomimetic chemistry for localized, sustained release. This work systematically investigates the complex relationship between MBG composition and surfactant templating on structural evolution, bioactive response, resultant drug loading efficiency and release. A total of 12 samples of sol-gel-derived MBG were synthesized using cationic and non-ionic structure-directing agents (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, Pluronic F127 and P123) while modulating the SiO/CaO content, generating MBG with surface areas of 60-695 m/g.

Hierarchical organization is prevalent in nature, yet the artificial construction of hierarchical materials featuring asymmetric structures remains a big challenge. Herein, we report a stress-induced self-assembly strategy for the synthesis of hierarchically twisted stripe arrays (HTSAs) with mesoporous structures. A soft and thin mesostructured film assembled by micelles and TiO oligomers is the prerequisite.
