A simple and green synthesis route was disclosed for the achievement of mesoporous alumina microparticles employing polysaccharide nanoparticles (α-chitin nanorods) as templates. Pore textures can be tuned by the cationic alumina precursor. Compared to small cations, the use of Al13 and Al30 oxo-hydroxo clusters leads to better defined and elongated mesopores. Electron microscopy and spectroscopic ((13) C, (27) Al NMR, XPS) measurements demonstrated that this is related to the effective coating of α-chitin nanorods by these pre-condensed colloids.

The treatment of effluents from the pharmaceutical industry currently remains a major challenge due to their impact on the environment and public health along with the cost of treatments. Considering these issues, our work focused on the development of materials with effective adsorption properties to treat industrial effluents based on locally available and inexpensive clays and zeolite. Local Algerian kaolin (Djebel Debbagh), palygorskite (Ghoufi) and zeolite (Tinbdar) were treated thermally and chemically prior to synthesis into mesoporous materials of hexagonal structure using pluronic P123 as surfactant.

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.

Article Synopsis
- A novel bionanocomposite, chitosan-coated activated natural bentonite clay (CCANBC), was developed from waste biomass to effectively remove nickel (Ni) and Eosin Y from wastewater.
- The bionanosorbents exhibited impressive properties, including high crystallinity and thermal stability, and demonstrated significant adsorption capabilities, achieving 186.42 mg/g for Ni and 238.37 mg/g for Eosin Y, while being thoroughly characterized using various analytical techniques.

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.
