Biomass aerogel is attractive in various applications due to their renewable, biodegradable and eco-friendly advantages. Herein, a novel beta molecular sieve/carboxymethyl cellulose/polyvinyl alcohol composite aerogel (beta/CP) is prepared by direct mixing and directional freeze-drying as an efficient gas adsorbent with hierarchical porosity. The beta molecular sieve is uniformly dispersed in the three-dimensional skeleton of the aerogel. By adjusting the loading mass of the beta molecular sieve to constitute a reasonable porosity and pore size distribution, the synergistic effect between pore structures of different scales improves the adsorption performance. The experiment results of beta/CP-4 show that the CH adsorption capacity can reach 60.33 cm/g at 298 K and 100 bar, which is almost the same as that of the pure beta molecular sieve (62.09 cm/g). The strong interaction between the aerogel and it prevents the molecular sieve agglomeration, improves the pore utilization, and also reduces the cost of using molecular sieve adsorbent. The above results indicate that the composite has good potential for application in the field of CH storage.

Two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet membranes hold promise for exact molecular transfer due to their structural diversity and well-defined in-plane nanochannels. However, achieving precise regulation of stacking modes between neighboring nanosheets in membrane applications and understanding its influence on separation performance remains unrevealed and challenging. Here, we propose a strategy for accurately controlling the stacking modes of MOF nanosheets via linker polarity regulation.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanochannels have demonstrated outstanding performance for sieving specific molecules or ions, owing to their uniform molecular channel sizes and interlayer physical/chemical properties. However, controllably tuning nanochannel spaces with specific sizes and simultaneously achieving high mechanical strength remain the main challenges. In this work, the inter-sheet gallery d-spacing of graphene oxide (GO) membrane is successfully tailored with high mechanical strength via a general radical-induced polymerization strategy.

Zeolite coatings are studied as molecular sieves for membrane separation, membrane reactors, and chemical sensor applications. They are also studied as anticorrosive films for metals and alloys, antimicrobial and hydrophobic films for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, and dielectrics for semiconductor applications. Zeolite coatings are synthesized by hydrothermal, ionothermal, and dry-gel conversion approaches, which require high process temperatures and lengthy times (ranging from hours to days).

Hydrogels like agarose have long been used as sieving media for the electrophoresis-based analysis of biopolymers. During gelation, the individual agarose strands tend to form hydrogen-bond mediated double-helical structures, allowing thermal reversibility and adjustable pore sizes for molecular sieving applications. The addition of tetrahydroxyborate to the agarose matrix results in transitional chemical cross-linking, offering an additional pore size adjusting option.

In order to increase the activity and selectivity of these bifunctional catalysts, it is necessary to reduce the diffusion restrictions for the reacting molecules and their products in the microporous structure of SAPO-11 by reducing the crystal size. To solve this problem, we have studied the influence of different templates (diethylamine, dipropylamine, diisopropylamine, and dibutylamine) on the physicochemical properties of reaction gels and SAPO-11 silicoaluminophosphates during their crystallization.
