Ordered mesoporous carbons that encapsulate the poorly soluble compounds ibuprofen and indomethacin were systematically studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray photon electron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed marked differences in the release profiles of the two drug molecules in simulated gastric fluids. In vitro toxicity profiles appear to be compatible with potential therapeutic applications bringing them to the forefront as carriers of poorly water soluble drugs.

An efficient regiospecific co-assembly (RSCA) strategy is developed for general synthesis of mesoporous metal oxides with pore walls precisely decorated by highly dispersed noble metal nanocrystals with customized parameters (diameter and composition). It features the rational utilization of the specific interactions between hydrophilic molecular precursors, hydrophobic noble metal nanocrystals, and amphiphilic block copolymers, to achieve regiospecific co-assembly as confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. Through this RSCA strategy, we achieved a controllable synthesis of a variety of functional mesoporous metal oxide composites (e.

Nitrate is a crucial nutrient in the natural nitrogen cycle. However, human activities have elevated nitrate levels in aquatic ecosystems beyond natural thresholds, posing risks to human health and the environment. In this work, ZnCl-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (ZnCl@MSN) were synthesized using a one-pot preparation method, leading to a streamlined process with reduced time and energy consumption.

This work presents a novel hydrothermally aided sol-gel method for preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with a narrow particle size distribution and varied pore sizes. The method was carried out in alkaline media in presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) as dual templates and permitted the synthesis of spherical mesoporous silica with a high surface area (1011.42 m/g).

Heteroatom-doped carbon materials are widely used to improve the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol; however, the underlying mechanisms driving this enhancement remain poorly understood. A major challenge lies in developing non-doped carbon supports with tunable intrinsic defect types tailored for metal-based catalysts. In this study, we synthesize a series of ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) supports with adjustable edge defect densities by varying roasting temperatures and employing a zinc (Zn) evaporation strategy to systematically investigate the impact of edge defects on methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) performance.

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.
