Article Abstract

The targeted synthesis of silicate zeolites with specific pore structures has been one of the great challenges for synthetic chemists. Herein, we report a new zeolite synthesis strategy for the preparation of high-silica and all-silica large-pore zeolites by utilizing hydroxyl-containing organic cations as structure-directing agents. These cations form hydrogen-bonding assemblies during the low-temperature aging stage, thereby directing the formation of the high-silica and all-silica zeolite NUD-19. NUD-19 is topologically related to the germanosilicates ITQ-21 and NUD-3, and is topologically identical to germanate PKU-14, possessing a three-dimensional intersecting 12-membered-ring large-pore network with spherical 1.18 nm-diameter cavities. NUD-19 remains structurally stable after calcination at 550 °C and displays permanent porosity with micropores, mesopores, and macropores, making it a promising candidate for application in the fields of catalysis, adsorption, and separation. This preparative method could be applied to synthesize large-pore and ultra-large-pore zeolites that are not readily obtained under conventional conditions.

Organic structure directing agents (OSDAs), such as tetrapropylammonium (TPA) cations, serve as crucial templates for the formation of zeolite frameworks. These organic molecules interact with inorganic species, guiding the assembly of the zeolite structure. In this study, we investigate the complex interplay between boron species and TPA cations during the crystallization of [B, Al]-ZSM-5 zeolites.

Mesoporous metal nanomaterials (MMNs) have gained interest in biomedicine for their unique properties, but their potential is limited by the predominance of spherical shapes and the neglect of morphological effects on biological activity, which hinders the reasonable evaluation of morphology-dependent enzyme-like activities and biological behaviors and its further biomedical applications. It is therefore imperative to find an effective and facile method to design and prepare MMNs with novel, well-defined morphologies. Herein, we fabricated 3 mesoporous platinum nanoenzymes including sphere, rod, and bipyramid topologies [Au@mesoPt sphere, Au@mesoPt rod, and Au@mesoPt bipyramid nanoparticles (NPs), respectively] via a facile atomic layer deposition method using gold NPs (Au NPs) as the templated cores and Pluronic F127 as a structure-directing agent.

We report a facile one-pot synthesis of AuPt spine-like nanotubes (AuPt SNTs) with abundant defective sites and lattice strain surfaces, which synergistically enhance EOR performance. The synthesis involves controlled co-reduction of Au and Pt precursors in the presence of octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride as a structure-directing agent, followed by ascorbic acid-mediated growth at 3-5 °C regulated by a cryogenic coolant circulation system. The unique spine-like nanotube architecture, coupled with defect-rich surfaces and lattice strain, provides optimized electronic structures, enhanced active site exposure, and improved reactant diffusion kinetics.

Zeolites and zeolite-like materials with unique pore structures have emerged as key functional materials in diverse fields such as the chemical industry, environmental protection, and energy, owing to their high selectivity, excellent catalytic performance, robust stability, and multifunctionality. In this study, two germanate compounds with distinct cage-like architectures were successfully synthesized through the rational design of rigid imidazole-based templates, specifically using 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-imidazol-3-ium and 3-propyl-1-phenyl-1-imidazol-3-ium as organic structure-directing agents (SDAs). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the two germanates crystallize in the tetragonal 4/ and trigonal 3̄ space groups, respectively.

Constructing transition metal dichalcogenides/oxides (TMDs/TMOs) heterostructures is an effective strategy to enhance their functional properties through band coupling and carrier migration. Furthermore, introducing a mesoporous architecture into TMDs/TMOs can significantly improve their porosity and specific surface area, thereby boosting their performance in chemical sensing, energy storage/conversion, and catalysis. However, it remains a significant challenge to realize a direct and facile synthesis of mesoporous TMDs/TMOs (mTMDs/TMOs) heterostructures with tunable compositions and abundant heterogeneous interfaces.
