Several covalent strategies towards surface charge-reversal in nanochannels have been reported with the purpose of manipulating ion transport. However, covalent routes lack dynamism, modularity and post-synthetic flexibility, ...

We have shown a pH- and glucose-responsive charge reversal on silica surface through heterogeneous functionalization utilizing amines and boronic acid moieties. The dual responsiveness of the charge reversal has been ...

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) ...

In this study, soft clay chromophore hybrids were used to demonstrate a photo-modification strategy, in which a white light standard can be converted into a different white light standard via in situ generation of a blue ...

Direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from molecular H-2 and O-2 is one of the challenging reactions for several decades in terms of catalyst selection, stability and selectivity. Herein, we report a bimetallic NiPd ...

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 ...

A simple methodology has been developed for the synthesis of functional nanoporous carbon (NPC) materials using a metal-organic framework (IRMOF-3) that can act as a template for external carbon precursor (viz, sucrose) ...
