Abstract
Superamphiphobic surfaces, combining both superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties, show tremendous potential applications in various fields. However, the complicated procedures, expensive equipment, and poor mechanical robustness and durability seriously limit their commercialization. In this study, superamphiphobic surfaces have been fabricated by a simple spraying method using two different nanostructures of silicon dioxide. The nanosheet silica (about 80 nm) constructed a large-scale layer structure, and the nanospherical silica (about 30 nm) interweaved with nanosheet silica to form a double-scale "reentrant" micronano structure. The contact angle (CA) and sliding angle (SA) were estimated to be 158° and 1° for a water droplet, while the CA and SA were measured to be 154° and 3° for olive oil, meeting the superamphiphobic requirement. On the other hand, control surfaces that only adopted nanosheet or nanospherical silica just satisfy the superhydrophobic requirement. Owing to the similar chemical components of nanosheet and nanospherical silica, the two mixed very well and were uniformly dispersed, endowing the whole surface with the same superamphiphobic behavior. More importantly, the mixture of nanosheet and nanospherical silica was sprayed on the wet poly(amide-imide) (PAI) substrate, making them easily enter into the PAI film. This unique structure is helpful for improving mechanical robustness and durability. Thus, the surface wettability was nearly unaffected even though it underwent lots of tests, including sandpaper abrasion, ultrasonic treatment, acid-base immersion, UV irradiation, and boiling water jet impact. As expected, the superamphiphobic surfaces show antifouling, self-cleaning, and icing delay performances, and the icing time was prolonged from 55 to 342 s. It is believed that robust superamphiphobic surfaces with multifunctions of antiliquid-adhesion, self-cleaning, anticorrosion, and anti-icing have enormous potential applications in the industrial environment.

Abstract
Contamination of water sources by toxic antimony Sb(III) ions poses a threat to clean water supplies. In this regard, we have prepared a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-derived adsorbent by reverse microemulsion polymerization, using cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) and triethanolamine (TEA) as co-templates. The physical and chemical properties were characterized using advanced tools. The MSN exhibits a higher surface area of up to 713.72 m2·g-1, a pore volume of 1.02 cm3·g-1, and a well-ordered mesoporous nanostructure with an average pore size of 4.02 nm. The MSN has a high adsorption capacity for toxic Sb(III) of 27.96 mg·g-1 at pH 6.0 and 298 K. The adsorption data followed the Langmuir isotherm, while the kinetics of adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order model. Interestingly, the effect of coexisting iron showed a promoting effect on Sb(III) uptake, while the presence of manganese slightly inhibited the adsorption process. The recyclability of the MSN adsorbent was achieved using a 0.5 M HCl eluent and reused consecutively for three cycles with a more than 50% removal efficiency. Moreover, the characterization data and batch adsorption study indicated physical adsorption of Sb(III) by mesopores and chemical adsorption due to silicon hydroxyl groups.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mesoporous silica nanospheres as an adsorbent to remove doxorubicin (DOX) from aqueous solution. The surface and structural properties of mesoporous silica nanospheres were investigated using BET, SEM, XRD, TEM, ζ potential, and point of zero charge analysis. To optimize DOX removal from aqueous solution, a Box-Behnken surface statistical design (BBD) with four times factors, four levels, and response surface modeling (RSM) was used. A high amount of adsorptivity from DOX (804.84 mg/g) was successfully done under the following conditions: mesoporous silica nanospheres dose = 0.02 g/25 mL; pH = 6; shaking speed = 200 rpm; and adsorption time = 100 min. The study of isotherms demonstrated how well the Langmuir equation and the experimental data matched. According to thermodynamic characteristics, the adsorption of DOX on mesoporous silica nanospheres was endothermic and spontaneous. The increase in solution temperature also aided in the removal of DOX. The kinetic study showed that the model suited the pseudo-second-order. The suggested adsorption method could recycle mesoporous silica nanospheres five times, with a modest reduction in its ability for adsorption. The most important feature of our adsorbent is that it can be recycled five times without losing its efficiency.

Abstract
Functional mesoporous materials have gained tremendous attention due to their distinctive properties and potential applications. In recent decades, the self-assembly of micelles and framework precursors into mesostructures on the liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid interface has been explored in the construction of functional mesoporous materials with diverse compositions, morphologies, mesostructures, and pore sizes. Compared with the one-phase solution synthetic approach, the introduction of a two-phase interface in the synthetic system changes self-assembly behaviors between micelles and framework species, leading to the possibility for the on-demand fabrication of unique mesoporous architectures. In addition, controlling the interfacial tension is critical to manipulate the self-assembly process for precise synthesis. In particular, recent breakthroughs based on the concept of the "monomicelles" assembly mechanism are very promising and interesting for the synthesis of functional mesoporous materials with the precise control. In this review, we highlight the synthetic strategies, principles, and interface engineering at the macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale for oriented interfacial assembly of functional mesoporous materials over the past 10 years. The potential applications in various fields, including adsorption, separation, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, and biomedicine, are discussed. Finally, we also propose the remaining challenges, possible directions, and opportunities in this field for the future outlook.

Abstract
Hierarchically porous materials have attracted great attention because of their potential applications in the fields of adsorption, catalysis, and biomedical systems. The art of manipulating different templates that are used for pore construction is the key to fabricating desired hierarchically porous structures. In this feature article, the polyelectrolyte-surfactant mesomorphous complex templating (PSMCT) approach, which was first developed by our group, is elaborated on. During the organic-inorganic self-assembly, the mesomorphous complex of the polyelectrolyte and oppositely charged surfactants would undergo in situ phase separation, which is the key to fabricating hierarchically porous materials. The recent progress in the utilization of the PSMCT method for the synthesis of hierarchically porous materials with tunable morphologies, mesophases, pore structures, and compositions is reviewed. Meanwhile, the functions of the hierarchically porous materials synthesized by the PSMCT method and their applications in adsorption, catalysis, drug delivery, and nanocasting are also briefly summarized.

Abstract
The well-known Stöber method has been widely used to synthesize nonporous silica nanospheres (NPs), however, in the absence of surfactant templates, the synthesis of mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) has not been achieved. Herein, in the absence of organic surfactant templates, by a simple premixing of three components tetraethoxysilane-water-ethanol (TEOS-H2O-EtOH) with a precise molar ratio, the parent silica nanoparticles with a low condensation degree and controlled particle size can be readily obtained. Subsequently, via a simple two-step post-treatment, the obtained MSNs exhibited a high surface area (ca. 500 m2 g-1), accessible mesopores (3.0 nm), and a large pore volume (0.87 mL g-1), similar to those of MCM-41 and SBA-15 silicas. The unique self-templating role of the 'pre-Ouzo' effect of ternary surfactant-free TEOS-H2O-EtOH systems was proposed to understand the formation of mesoporosity.

Abstract
The combination of an emulsion template with polymerization is a very convenient approach to the one-step realization of both simple control porous structures via a change in emulsion formulation and easy functionalization via the concomitant choice of an on-demand monomer. A major challenge of this approach is the inherent instability of the oil/water interface in emulsions, especially the occurrence of chemical reactions in oil or aqueous phases. This study reports the pioneering preparation of highly interconnected macro-mesopores and multicompartment (HIMC) vinyl organosilica microspheres with hydrophobicity by the one-step formation of W/O/W emulsions acting as a template. The emulsion system consists of acidified deionized water, a stabilizer, and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEO) in which VTEO can be used to produce an organosilica skeleton of the resultant microsphere by a sol-gel process. The study demonstrated that the marvelous stability of W/O/W emulsions aids the formation of multicompartment organosilica microspheres with highly interconnected macro-mesopores by emulsion droplets rather than single-compartment (SC) microspheres. Meanwhile, the internal porous structure and surface morphology of as-prepared organosilica microspheres could be largely tuned by a simple variation of the pH value, the volume fraction of the water phase, and the stabilizer concentration in the initiating multiemulsions. Benefiting from such a well-orchestrated structure and the existence of numerous vinyl groups on the surface, HIMC organosilica microspheres exhibit very high hydrophobicity (with a water contact angle larger than 160°), which allows them to stabilize liquid marbles with excellent stability and high mechanical robustness. Because of its strong catalyst, Ag nanoparticles within HIMC organosilica microspheres enable Ag/HIMC-vinyl organosilica microsphere-based liquid marbles to be an efficient catalytic microreactor, realizing the complete degradation of MB to leuco methylene blue by NaBH4 in 10 min. The result of this work could provide some guidance for the easy, low-cost, benign preparation of HIMC microspheres having the potential to be excellent supporter of metal nanoparticles or other functionalized compounds for applications in sensing, optoelectronics, and catalysis.

Abstract
Well known for the adhesive property, mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) has been shown to enhance performance in a wide range of adsorption-based applications. However, imparting porous nanostructures to PDA materials for enhanced loading capacities has not been demonstrated even when surfactants were present in the synthesis. Herein, we report on the preparation of mesoporous PDA particles (MPDA) based on the assembly of primary PDA particles and Pluronic F127 stabilized emulsion droplets on water/1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (TMB) interfaces. The key to the formation of this new type of the MPDA structure is the full utilization of the π-π stacking interactions between PDA structures and the π-electron-rich TMB molecules. Remarkably, this method presents a facile approach for MPDA particles with an average diameter of ∼90 nm, slit-like pores with a peak size of ∼5.0 nm as well as hollow cavities. When used as the adsorbent for a model dye RhB, the MPDA particles achieved an ultrahigh RhB adsorption capacity of 1100 μg mg-1, which is significantly higher than that for the PDA-reactive dyes with Eschenmoser structure. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the cavity space in MPDA can facilitate high volumetric uptake in a capillary filling/stacking manner via the π-π interactions. These developments pave a new avenue on the mechanism and the designed synthesis of functional PDA materials by organic-organic composite assembly for advanced adsorption applications.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) that can stably load therapeutic drugs and release them in response to a specific trigger are of great interest in disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the controlled-release of gaseous drug molecules such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from a long-range and stable MSN-based system still presents a great challenge. Herein, a MSN-based glutathione (GSH)-triggered controlled-release H2S system has been fabricated with high entrapment efficiency (99.0 ± 0.3%) and loading content (44.2 ± 0.1%) of diallyl trisulfide (DATS). After the addition of GSH (2 mM), DATS-MSN (100 μg mL-1) steadily releases moderate amounts of H2S (peaking at the 4th hour, ∼60 μM) in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The release of H2S in plasma is similar to a physiological process (peaking at the 4th hour) and the DATS-MSN remains in the plasma of a rat's system over 9 hours without significantly affecting the blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac function. Moderate quantities of nanoparticles can be taken up by cardiomyocytes in vitro, while in vivo study shows that nanoparticles mainly accumulate in the liver and spleen, affecting the H2S level in these organs. Furthermore, DATS-MSN shows excellent biocompatibility, as well as superior cytoprotection and an isolated heart protection effect of H2S under ischemic/reperfusion injury. This study provides a new insight into controlled-release applications of MSN-based H2S releasing systems both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The synthesis of highly uniform mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) with dendritic pore channels, particularly ones with particle sizes below 200 nm, is extremely difficult and remains a grand challenge. By a combined synthetic strategy using imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) with different alkyl lengths as cosurfactants and Pluronic F127 nonionic surfactants as inhibitors of particle growth, the preparation of dendritic MSNs with controlled diameter between 40 and 300 nm was successfully realized. An investigation of dendritic MSNs using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen physisorption revealed that the synthesis of dendritic MSNs at larger size (100-300 nm) strongly depends on the alkyl lengths of cationic imidazolium ILs; while the average size of dendritic MSNs can be controlled within the range of 40-100 nm by varying the amount of Pluronic F127. The Au@MSNs can be used as a catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol by NaBH4 into 4-aminophenol and exhibit excellent catalytic performance. The present discovery of the extended synthesis conditions offers reproducible, facile, and large-scale synthesis of the monodisperse spherical MSNs with precise size control and, thus, has vast prospects for future applications of ultrafine mesostructured nanoparticle materials in catalysis and biomedicine.

Abstract
Although enzymes of nonhuman origin have been studied for a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic applications, their use has been limited by the immune responses generated against them. The described dual-porosity hollow nanoparticle platform obviates immune attack on nonhuman enzymes paving the way to in vivo applications including enzyme-prodrug therapies and enzymatic depletion of tumor nutrients. This platform is manufactured with a versatile, scalable, and robust fabrication method. It efficiently encapsulates macromolecular cargos filled through mesopores into a hollow interior, shielding them from antibodies and proteases once the mesopores are sealed with nanoporous material. The nanoporous shell allows small molecule diffusion allowing interaction with the large macromolecular payload in the hollow center. The approach has been validated in vivo using l-asparaginase to achieve l-asparagine depletion in the presence of neutralizing antibodies.

Abstract
An innovative type of hollow silicate nanoparticle with a micro/mesoporous shell wall (NSHPMS) was synthesized at room temperature via an eco-friendly double template approach, followed by simple acid reflux. TEM observations of NSHPMSs showed hollow interior nanoparticles (<100 nm) with a wormhole-like shell structure. The nitrogen gas (N(2)) adsorption/desorption isotherm exhibited a unique two-step pattern: the first step (0.2 < P/P(o) < 0.35) signifies the presence of the micro/mesoporous shell wall while the second step (0.85 < P/P(o) < 0.99) represents the void space in between the NSHPMSs. This resulted to an improved specific surface area up to ~2055.5 m(2) g(-1) and a total pore volume as high as ~6.59 cm(3) g(-1) which is better compared with the usual reported data for hollow particles with a mesoporous shell wall. The stable wormhole mesoporous shell wall provided sufficient spaces that contribute to high adsorption capacities and faster adsorption rates. One can envision that larger quantities of framework composition can be obtained using our NSHPMSs.

Abstract
Hydrothermally stable mesoporous aluminosilicates Al-SBA-1 with hierarchical pore structure have been successfully synthesized under alkaline condition at 120 °C by employing organic mesomorphous complexes of polyelectrolyte (poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)) and cationic surfactant (hexadecyl pyridinium chloride (CPC)) as template. The Si/Al ratio could be as high as 5 and the incorporation of Al into the silica framework did not disturb the well-ordered cubic Pm ̅3n mesostructure. Meanwhile, the incorporation of Al could greatly increase the specific surface area and pore volume of the samples. The Al-SBA-1 materials exhibited a high hydrothermal stability and remained stable even after being treated in boiling water for 10 days. The catalytic activity of the Al-SBA-1 materials was investigated by employing the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of toluene with benzyl alcohol as a model reaction and they exhibited excellent catalytic property due to the incorporated acid sites and the hierarchically mesoporous structure.

Abstract
This paper reviews the progress made recently in synthesis and applications of spherical silica micro/nanomaterials with multilevel (hierarchical) structures. The spherical silica micro/nanomaterials with hierarchical structures are classified into four main structural categories that include (1) hollow mesoporous spheres, (2) core-in-(hollow porous shell) spheres, (3) hollow spheres with multiple porous shells and (4) hierarchically porous spheres. Due to the complex structures and being focused on spherical silica micro/nanomaterials, some novel methods based on the combination of two routine methods or two surfactants, and some special synthetic strategies are proposed to produce the spherical silica micro/nanomaterials with hierarchical structures. Compared with the same-sized solid, porous or hollow silica spheres, these fantastic spherical silica micro/nanomaterials with hierarchical structures exhibit enhanced properties which may enable them to be used in broad and promising applications as ideal scaffolds (carriers) for biological, medical, and catalytic applications.

Abstract
Hierarchically mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) with uniform morphology and structure and with a diameter of ca. 100-220 nm were facilely fabricated using water, ethanol and ethyl ether as cosolvents. Template extraction and amino-functionalization were performed toward the HMSNs. These hierarchical mesopores are supposed to possess more advantages than conventional monomodal mesopores. Amino-functionalized HMSNs were homogeneously grafted with fluorescent molecules and loaded with Au nanoparticles (NPs), respectively. The extracted HMSNs were also successfully used to construct antireflection and superhydrophilc coatings. Drug release experiments showed that HMSNs exhibit much quicker rates of drug release compared with conventional mesoporous NPs due to their hierarchically mesoporous structures.

Abstract
Silica nanospheres with varied morphologies and pore structures, including mesoporous nanospheres, nanospheres with hierarchical pores (from 2 to 100 nm), and hollow nanospheres of mesoporous shell, were fabricated at room temperature simply by regulating the ethanol/ethyl ether volume ratio in the starting solution. The silica nanostructures were characterized by small-angle X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. Based on experimental results, a plausible mechanism for the structural regulation of mesoporous silicas has been put forward. These novel nanostructures of hierarchical pores provide an ideal scaffold for biological, medical, and catalytic applications.
