A novel nanocomposite ZnFe(2)O(4)-TiO(2)/MCM-41 (ZTM) was synthesized by a sol-gel method and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), N(2) adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, and ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry. The results confirmed the incorporation of ZnFe(2)O(4)-TiO(2) nanoparticles inside the pores of th...

The direct and indirect methods in solvent media and grinding method in a solvent-free media were used to prepare the MCM-41/ZnO and MCM-48/ZnO photocatalysts. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles were put into MCM-41 and MCM-48 substrates and there were ZnO crystallites as secondary phase in the extra framework of mesoporous materials. The decrease of surfa...

We present a novel strategy for mapping the localization of guest molecules (GMs) in mesoporous materials by combining mechanochemistry with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy. To this end, we consider model guest–host systems benzoic acid (BA) and para-fluorobenzoic (4-FBA) embedded MCM-41 material examine recently proposed loading (MeLo) procedure efficient encapsulat...
