A phenyl-modified silica isoporous membrane (Ph-SIM) was prepared on the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode using the electrochemically assisted self-assembly (EASA) method. The resulting Ph-SIM preserved vertically ordered nanochannels while exhibiting outstanding hydrophobicity due to the incorporation of phenyl groups within the nanochannels. As a result, the Ph-SIM/ITO sensor exhibited a remarkable affinity for PCNB extraction through hydrophobic interactions, leading to high detection sensitivity. The electrochemical response showed a linear enhancement with the logarithmic concentration of PCNB ranging from 0.1 to 20.0 µM, and the limit of detection was 4.64 nM. Practical results demonstrated that the Ph-SIM/ITO sensor possessed good anti-fouling capability and robust stability, making it a promising candidate for portable detection of non-polar contaminants.

Recently, ethanol has shown promising potential in the large-scale reduction of graphene oxide (GO) into graphene. However, dispersion of GO powder in ethanol is a challenge due to its poor affinity, which hinders permeation and intercalation of ethanol between GO molecule layers. In this paper, phenyl-modified colloidal silica nanospheres (PSNS) were synthesized by phenyl-tri-ethoxy-silane (PTES) and tetra-ethyl -silicate (TEOS) using a sol-gel method.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are a possible candidate to create safe, sustainable, and cost-effective batteries. Solid sodium-ion conducting organically modified ionogel electrolytes are investigated. Silica-based ionogels typically consist of an ionic liquid electrolyte (ILE) confined within a silica matrix and possess high thermal stability, good ionic conductivity, safety, and good electrochemical stability.

The impact of synthesis parameters and structural properties, respectively, on mechanical properties of porous materials on different structural levels provides valuable information for designing materials for specific applications. Within this study, we apply two nonstandard approaches for determining the mechanical properties of the mesoporous backbone phase in a series of disordered SiO-based monolithic materials possessing hierarchical meso-macroporosity, that is, deformation upon mercury porosimetry and in situ dilatometry during nitrogen adsorption analysis. By using ordered porous model materials, the latter method has been recently proven to provide reliable mechanical moduli.

Mesoporous material SBA-15 was functionalized with different polar and nonpolar groups: 3-aminopropyl, (SBA-15-NH), 3-isocyanatopropyl (SBA-15-NCO), 3-mercaptopropyl (SBA-15-SH), methyl (SBA-15-CH) and phenyl (SBA-15-Ph). The resulting surface grafted materials were investigated as matrices for controlled drug delivery. Anticancer agent, pemetrexed (disodium pemetrexed heptahydrate) was selected as a model drug and loaded in the unmodified and functionalized SBA-15 materials.
