Nanoconfined synthesized crystalline fullerene mesoporous carbon (C60-FMC) with bimodal pore architectures of 4.95 nm and 10-15 nm pore sizes characterized by XRD, TEM, nitrogen adsorption/ desorption isotherm and solid-state NMR, and the material was used for protein immobilization. The solid-state 13C NMR spectrum of C60-FMC along with XRD, BET and TEM confirms the formation of fullerene meso...

A particular type of mesopore extrudates gamma alumina was prepared; which is used as the catalyst in the heavy oil desulfurization unit. Extrudates gamma-alumina support has been made of the boehmite powder from Nephlinsinite mine ores (Surface Area (S.A.) >200 m2/g, Pore Volume (P.V.) =0.48 cm3/g, Average Pore Diameter (A.P.D.) = 8.10 nm); then, many samples of extru...

The states of tris(8-quinolinato)aluminum(III) (Alq3) adsorbed in mesoporous silicas with different pore sizes (2.5, 3.1 and 5.0 nm) were investigated. Alq3 was successfully occluded into the mesoporous silicas from solution and the adsorbed amount of Alq3 per BET surface area was effectively controlled by changing the added amount Alq3 to the solution. The state of Alq3 in the mesopore varied ...

In this work, we report a new hybrid nanomaterial based on the immobilization of 4-formyl benzo-9-crown-3 ether (FB9C3) onto the mesopores of MCM-41. First, the mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 was covalently grafted with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane to give aminopropyl modified MCM-41 (AmpMCM-41). Reaction of this material with FB9C3 afforded the B9C3-AmpMCM-41 hybrid nanomaterial. The prepa...

N-Methyl-Nʹ-propyltrimethoxysillylimidazolium chloride was prepared as ionic liquid (IL) containing silylating agent and then used for modification of the internal surface of SBA-15 to gain a heterogeneous ionic liquid catalyst. Subsequently, the obtained SBA-IL was characterized using various techniques, including SEM and TEM images, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, TGA/DTA and BET ...

DNA nanotechnology allows for the creation of three-dimensional structures at nanometer scale. Here, we use DNA to build the largest synthetic pore in a lipid membrane to date, approaching the dimensions of the nuclear pore complex and increasing the pore-area and the conductance 10-fold compared to previous man-made channels. In our design, 19 cholesterol tags anchor a megadalton funnel-shaped...

Abstract The method of pulsed electron beam evaporation in vacuum was first used to obtain CeF 3 nanopowder (NP). During NP production, a high rate the target (~ 7 g/h) and higher percentage collection (> 72%) were observed, both for fluoride previously obtained CeO 2 oxide. It found that produced contains two crystalline phases: hexagonal (95 wt.%, coherent scattering region ≈ 8 nm [Ce-O-F]...
