N-doped mesoporous alumina has been synthesized using chitosan as the biopolymer template. The adsorbent has been thoroughly investigated for the adsorption of CO2 from a simulated flue gas stream (15% CO2 balanced with N2) and compared with commercially available mesoporous alumina procured from SASOL, Germany. CO2 adsorption was studied under different conditions of pretreatment and adsorption temperature, inlet CO2 concentration and in the presence of oxygen and moisture. The adsorption capacity was determined to be 29.4 mg CO2/g of adsorbent at 55 degrees C. This value was observed to be 4 times higher in comparison to that of commercial mesoporous alumina at a temperature of 55 degrees C. Basicity of alumina surface coupled with the presence of nitrogen in template in synthesized sample is responsible for this enhanced CO2 adsorption. Adsorption capacity for CO2 was retained in the presence of oxygen; however moisture had a deteriorating effect on the adsorption capacity reducing it to nearly half the value.

Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) carbon dots (CDs) demonstrate significant potential applications in the field of information anticounterfeiting due to their excellent optical properties. However, RTP emission of CDs remains significantly limited due to the spin-forbidden properties of triplet exciton transitions. In this work, an in situ nitrogen doping strategy was employed to design and construct strong spin-orbit coupling nitrogen-doped CDs with mesoporous silica with alumina (N-CDs@MS@AlO) RTP composites.

As an important nonoil route for acquiring aromatics, the highly efficient conversion of methanol to aromatics over Zn/ZSM-5 zeolites remains an ongoing challenge. In this work, we developed a uniform loading approach of zinc and further combined it with a hollow capsule structure to design the high-performance Zn/ZSM-5 catalyst. The electrostatic assembly among EDTA, -butylamine and negative silica-alumina gel gave rise to an "Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Sphere" in form of Na·{[(SiO)Al]/(SiO)(-butylamine)(EDTA)(-butylamine)(SiO), which further transformed into mesoporous aluminosilicates sphere (MASS) through calcination.
