A facile sulfur-bubble template-mediated synthesis of uniform porous g-C3N4 has been developed for the first time. The obtained sulfur-mediated g-C3N4 presents a uniform porous structure with higher BET surface area and displays superior photocatalytic performance compared with pure g-C3N4.

Pt/fluorinated clay nanocomposites were prepared by clay-mediated in situ reduction; these nanocomposites demonstrated ultrahigh Pt nanoparticle thermal stability (up to 1000 °C), large BET surface area (379 m(2) g(-1)), uniform dispersion in aqueous media, and intriguing catalytic properties.

Nanostructured silicon hollow spheres with a thin shell have been synthesized by magnesium reduction of silica spheres, which possess a high BET surface area and are electrochemically active in capacitive energy storage with a maximum specific capacitance of 193 F g(-1) in the neutral Na(2)SO(4) aqueous solution.

1,3,5-Tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene assembles into an intricate 8-fold polycatenated assembly of (6,3) hexagonal nets formed through hydrogen bonds and π-stacking. One polymorph features 56 independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, the largest Z' reported to date. The framework is permanently porous, with a BET surface area of 1095 m(2) g(-1) and readily adsorbs N2, H2 and CO2.

Greatly enhanced microporosity is obtained for the amorphous porous polymers produced from the AlCl3-mediated coupling of aromatic hydrocarbons by using dichloromethane as the reaction solvent. A polymer of average BET surface area 1⁄4 2435 m g 1 was obtained reproducibly from 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene with the additional porosity being provided as ultramicroporosity as demonstrated by very high C...

Mesoporous g-C3N4 has been obtained by a facile sucrose-mediated approach via thermal condensation of sucrose and melamine for the first time. The mesoporous g-C3N4 presents a much higher BET surface area and displays highly enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution performance.

sol-gel derived sulfur modified and pure zno nanorod were prepared using zinc chloride and thiocarbamide as raw materials. prepared nanorods were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd), thermogravimetry- differential scanning calorimetry (tg–dsc), uv- vis absorption spectroscopy, brunauer emmett teller (bet) specific surface area and barrett joyner halenda (bjh) pore size distributio...

nanostructured iron oxide powder that has been recovered from waste pickling liquor unit of steel industry was studied for oxidation catalytic applications. in this research, the powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transition electron microscopy (tem) for determination of phase structure, morphology and particle size. furthermore, the specific surface area of the powder was ...

Porous (Zr0.5,Sr0.5)TiO3 and MgO (1, 3, 5 mol%) doped ZST nanocomposites have been developed and investigated as humidity sensing elements. The surface area analyser and FESEM data have indicated that the MgO doped perovskites are contained of the macropores and grain size of about 77 to 87 nm. EFTEM proved the reduction of particle size by addition of MgO dopant concentration. While pure ZST s...

Volumetric N 2 adsorption at ?196°C is generally accepted as “gold standard” for estimating the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area of nanocellulose. It unclear however, whether BET nanocellulose obtained such low temperatures and pressures meaningful an absolute sense, used ambient temperature pressure. In this work, a systematic evaluation using highly crystalline bacterial cellulose (BC...
