    查看更多>>摘要:Thermal treatment of zeolites prior to their use as adsorbents is needed to remove adsorbed water from zeolite pores,increasing porosity and surface area without inducing structural deterioration.Here,natural zeolite clinoptilolite(CLI)was thermally treated at 378-1073 K in air atmosphere.Porosity and structural changes after treatments at particular temperatures were investigated with N2 adsorption at 77 K,Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction(XRD).Brunauer,Emmett and Teller(BET)surface area reached 60 m~2 g~(-1)and αS surface area reached 80 m~2 g~(-1)after thermal treatment at 473 K due to the evolution of water as evidenced with FTIR spectroscopy.Monoclinic crystal structure of the CLI zeolite was preserved after thermal treatment at ~873 K as indicated with XRD analysis.The CLI zeolite are structurally stable at ~873 K,reaching the highest specific surface area at 473 K,thus being promising for future adsorbent applications.

    查看更多>>摘要:In the recent years,mesoporous bioactive glass(MBG)based 3D printed scaffolds have been envisaged widely for bone tissue engineering potential.The earlier reports on 3D printed MBG based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering application are dedicated to pneumatic extrusion,which involves utilization of solvent and tedious process steps for preparation of bio ink.In order to overcome these limitations,the current work aims to develop 3D printed MBG based biomimetic composite scaffold via thermal extrusion process,which is devoid from solvent.It is well known that it is highly challenging to process pure MBG based inorganic/ceramic materials into 3D printed constructs due to lack of flexibility.Therefore,poly(caprolactone)(PCL)which exhibits bio inert nature towards formation of hydroxyapatite is used as the binder in order to impart flexibility during thermal extrusion process.The novelty of the current work lies in optimization of 3D printing parameters in order to fabricate MBG/PCL based composite construct,which mimics the natural bone composition with inorganic to organic ratio of 70:30 with hierarchical pore architecture and evaluation of its bone tissue engineering characteristics,which has not been documented earlier in the best of our knowledge.Through SBF studies,it is revealed that the 3D printed PCL/MBG composite scaffold helps in the formation of hydroxyapatite biomineral,which is lacking in the case of PCL scaffold.The presence of MBG in the PCL matrix is also found to support cellular proliferation and osteogenic differentiation,which is also reflected in terms of calcium mineralization and up regulation of osteogenic genes.This indicates that the 3D printed PCL/MBG composite scaffold mimicking the natural bone composition seems to hold promising potential for bone tissue engineering.

    查看更多>>摘要:A significant number of industrially relevant separation processes involves the removal of carbon dioxide(C02),as the purification of natural gas(CO2/CH4 separation).In this scenario,the development of new adsorbents with a real technological future for CO2 separation,i.e with a high separation efficiency,good mechanical properties and easy to handle,is of primary importance.In the present work,novel composite monolithic aerogels containing the UTSA-16 metal organic framework as the active phase and porous crystalline polymers(namely syndiotactic polystyrene and polyphenyloxide)as binders were successfully synthesized and fully characterized.The adsorption capacity of such novel aerogels towards CO2 and CH4 was tested at low pressure and variable temperature,allowing the evaluation of their CO2/CH4 selectivity.Microcalorimetric experiments provided the CO2 interaction energy and disclosed possible deformation-relaxation phenomena involving the polymeric matrix during gas adsorption.The new composites retain a very high CO2 adsorption capacity compared to the pristine UTSA-16(around 75% at 298 K and 1 bar)and have excellent CO2 capture performances in comparison to other types of supported/printed MOFs reported in the literature.The outstanding adsorption properties and the possibility to obtain monoliths with the desired size and shape and good mechanical stability make these new composites very good candidates for efficient CO2/CH4 separation processes.

    查看更多>>摘要:Triazine-based covalent organic frameworks(COFs)have recently emerged as a new class of photocatalysts for visible-light-driven photocatalytic reactions.However,the optical absorption edge of triazine-based COFs is usually below 550 nm,resulting in inefficient photocatalytic performance.Herein,a novel Fe~(III)-tannic acid(Fe~(III)-TA)complexes evenly coating a triazine-based COF(Fe~(III)-TA@TTB-TTA)was prepared using a simple self-assembly process.The Fe~(III)-TA significantly enhanced the optical absorption of TTB-TTA,especially in the X>600 nm region.Consequently,the composite photocatalyst exhibited a higher photodegradation rate of methyl orange(MO),corresponding to a 14-fold enhancement,compared with the bare TTB-TTA.Moreover,the degradation rate was 372 times higher under>600 nm light illumination,indicating that the photocatalytic enhancement mechanism primarily came from the enhanced visible-light harvesting capacity of Fe~(III)-TA.This work offers a promising avenue for enhancing the visible-light absorption of triazine-based COFs and providing insights into the research of high-performance photocatalysts.
