Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have generated a great deal of interest in the development of high performance membranes for gas separation. However, metastable GO undergoes structural transformation with temperature and ...

The electroreduction of dioxygen on supportless Au-Rh bimetallic nanostructures (Au-Rh NSs) synthesized by a surfactant template-free, single step chemical reduction method occurred with high intrinsic activity in an ...

Submicrometer thick MoS2 membranes were investigated for their gas permeation properties and efficiency of H-2/CO2 separation. These membranes show high H-2/CO2 separation at very high H-2 permeability. The thermal stability ...

We delineate the growth and stabilization of ultra-small (2-3 nm) {Cu-3(BTC)(2)(H2O)(2)center dot xH(2)O} MOF nanoparticles on a 2D layered aminoclay template. The composite shows significant CO2 uptake (5.35 mmol g(-1) ...

An innovative technique to obtain high-surface-area mesostructured carbon (2545m(2)g(-1)) with significant microporosity uses Teflon as the silica template removal agent. This method not only shortens synthesis time by ...

Here, we report the synthesis of adaptive hybrid mesoporous silica having the ability to reconfigure its pore properties such as pore size and philicity in response to the external environment. Decyl chains were reversibly ...

Templates with specific microenvironments have been long employed to facilitate specialized reactions. From enzymes to metal organic frameworks (MOFs), various systems have exerted their prowess to affect specific chemical ...
