Mesoporous silica functionalized with a 2-hydroxy-naphthyl moiety has been synthesized and character ized by standard techniques like powder X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption/desorption studies, transmission electron ...

Two different heterogeneous catalysts, one with Cu(II) covalently bonded to functionalized mesoporous silica (FMS-Cu(II)) and another with CuO nanoparticles immobilized over the same silica (FMS-CuO-np), have been ...

In this report, we have demonstrated the morphological effect on the electrochemical performances of hydrothermally synthesized NiMn2O4. Morphologies of the nanoparticles are varied using different surfactants and ...

Cadmium sulphide nanoparticles suffer an intrinsic disadvantage of photocorrosion as photocatalyst. The nanocomposites of mesoporous carbon and CdS nanoparticles improve photostability and minimise photo corrosion of ...

Functional mesoporous silica probes, MCM-TFM and SBA-TFM, have been synthesized with varying pore sizes and having S-donor sites judiciously selected to bind soft metal centers. The soft S-donor centers are contributed ...

Ordered mesoporous carbon-supported gold nanoparticles (Au/OMC) have been fabricated in one step through a hard template method using gold nanoparticle intercalated mesoporous silica (GMS) to explore two different catalytic ...

Three new palladium catalysts, PdCat-I, PdCat-II and PdCat-III, immobilized over heterogeneous silica support have been synthesized using different ligands attached to the palladium precursor. The ligands that have been ...

Rhodamine 6G functionalized mesoporous silica (RFMS) has been used for the selective sensing of Al3+, Cr3+ and Fe3+ ions. RFMS has been characterized via FT-IR spectroscopy, PXRD, N2-adsorption/ desorption, TEM, 13C and ...

A new type of mesoporous silica (MS) with high surface area and large pore volume has been synthesised by employing a rapid sol–gel based inverse micelle method and electrochemically active metal center, manganese, has ...
