Facile and Efficient Self-template Synthesis of Core-coronal-shell ZnO@ZIF-8 Nanohybrid Using Ascorbic Acid and its Application for Arsenic Removal

In the present contribution, a facile and efficient protocol for synthesis a nanohybrid structure of core-coronal-shell ZnO@ZIF-8 using ascorbic acid (ZnO@AA/ZIF-8) as a new adsorbent for arsenic removal from water has been represented. For this purpose, the ZnO nanospheres were synthesized by a green and simple method followed by coating with ascorbic acid (AA) to modify their surface to achie...

Easy synthesis of hollow core, bimodal mesoporous shell carbon nanospheres and their application in supercapacitor.

Hollow core, mesoporous shell carbon nanospheres (HCMSs) with large bimodal mesopores (6.4 and 3.1 nm) and high surface area (1704 m(2) g(-1)) have been synthesized by a triconstituent surface co-assembly of monodisperse silica nanospheres method. The resulted HCMS show a high specific capacity of 251 F g(-1) at 50 mV s(-1) in 2 M H(2)SO(4) and long cyclic life.

Synthesis of double mesoporous core-shell silica nanospheres with radially oriented mesopores via one-templating step using anionic surfactant.

In this communication, we report the fabrication of silica nanospheres with a double mesoporous core-shell structure by a one-templating step two-pot synthesis route using an anionic surfactant.

Facile synthesis of water-soluble luminescent mesoporous Tb(OH)3@SiO2 core-shell nanospheres

Luminescent mesoporous Tb(OH)3@SiO2 core-shell nanospheres were synthesized through W/O microemulsion process at ambient temperature. The negatively charged silica favors a coating of the positively charged Tb3+ composite. Thus, silicon layer was adsorbed on the surface of Tb(OH)3 groups to form Tb-O-Si through electrostatic interaction. X-ray diffraction, field emission transmission electron m...
