Abstract
The design of novel drug delivery systems is exceptionally critical in disease treatments. Among the existing drug delivery systems, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have shown profuse promise owing to their structural stability, tunable morphologies/sizes, and ability to load different payload chemistry. Significantly, the presence of surface silanol groups enables functionalization with relevant drugs, imaging, and targeting agents, promoting their utility and popularity among researchers. Stimuli-responsive silanol conjugates have been developed as a novel, more effective way to conjugate, deliver, and release therapeutic drugs on demand and precisely to the selected location. Therefore, it is urgent to summarize the current understanding and the surface silanols' role in making MSN a versatile drug delivery platform. This review provides an analytical understanding of the surface silanols, chemistry, identification methods, and their property-performance correlation. The chemistry involved in converting surface silanols to a stimuli-responsive silica delivery system by endogenous/exogenous stimuli, including pH, redox potential, temperature, and hypoxia, is discussed in depth. Different chemistries for converting surface silanols to stimuli-responsive bonds are discussed in the context of drug delivery. The critical discussion is culminated by outlining the challenges in identifying silanols' role and overcoming the limitations in synthesizing stimuli-responsive mesoporous silica-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Nanocomposites of complex metal hydrides and oxides are promising solid state electrolytes. The interaction of the metal hydride with the oxide results in a highly conducting interface layer. Up until now it has been assumed that the interface chemistry is independent of the nanoconfinement method. Using 29Si solid state NMR and LiBH4/SiO2 as a model system, we show that the silica surface chemistry differs for nanocomposites prepared via melt infiltration or ball milling. After melt infiltration, a Si···H···BH3 complex is present on the interface, together with silanol and siloxane groups. However, after ball milling, the silica surface consists of Si- H sites, and silanol and siloxane groups. We propose that this change is related to a redistribution of silanol groups on the silica surface during ball milling, where free silanol groups are converted to mutually hydrogen-bonded silanol groups. The results presented here help to explain the difference in ionic conductivity between nanocomposites prepared via ball milling and melt infiltration.

Abstract
The detriments of intrinsic silanol groups in mesoporous silica to the photoluminescence (PL) of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) confined in the template have never been determined and clearly elucidated. Here, we disclose that silanol-induced Cs+ and Br- deficiencies prompt the generation of traps and CsPb2Br5 impurities. The temperature-dependent PL spectra verify the higher energetic barrier of trap states in CsPbBr3 NCs confined in silanol-rich mesoporous silica. Femtosecond transient absorption spectra reveal the trapped state mediates a broadband photoinduced absorption and long-lived decay pathway of CsPbBr3 NCs in silanol-rich templates. A remarkable improvement (up to 160-fold) in PL quantum yields is realized by simple silanol elimination. This work demonstrates the detrimental effects of silanol sites on the PL properties of LHP NCs impregnated in mesoporous silica and provides a new perspective for the ligand-free synthesis of high-quality LHP NCs in mesoporous templates by facile impregnation for practical applications.

Abstract
Scandium (Sc) is a high value Critical Material that is most commonly used in advanced alloys. Due to current and potential supply limitations, there has been an international effort to find new and improved ways to extract Sc from existing and novel resources. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is one promising approach for Sc recovery, particularly for use with low-grade feedstocks. Here, unfunctionalized, powdered hierarchically porous silica monoliths from DPS Inc. (DPS) are used for Sc extraction in batch and semicontinuous flow systems at model conditions. The sorbent exhibits excellent mass transfer properties, much like the whole monoliths, which should permit Sc to be rapidly recovered from large volumes of feedstock. The Sc adsorption capacity of the material is ∼142.7 mg/g at pH 6, dropping to ∼12.0 mg/g at pH 3, and adsorption is furthermore highly selective for Sc compared with the other rare earth elements (REEs). Under semicontinuous flow conditions, recovery efficiency is limited by a kinetic process. The primary mechanism responsible for the system's slow approach to equilibrium is the Sc adsorption reaction kinetics rather than inter- or intraparticle diffusion. Overall, this unmodified hierarchically porous silica powder from DPS shows great promise for the selective extraction of Sc from various feedstocks.

Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate that amorphous and porous molybdenum silicate microspheres are highly active catalysts for heterogeneous propylene metathesis. Homogeneous molybdenum silicate microspheres and aluminum-doped molybdenum silicate microspheres were synthesized via a nonaqueous condensation of a hybrid molybdenum biphenyldicarboxylate-based precursor solution with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane. The as-prepared hybrid metallosilicate products were calcined at 500 °C to obtain amorphous and porous molybdenum silicate and aluminum-doped molybdenum silicate microspheres with highly dispersed molybdate species inserted into the silicate matrix. These catalysts contain mainly highly dispersed MoOx species, which possess high catalytic activity in heterogeneous propylene metathesis to ethylene and butene. Compared to conventional silica-supported MoOx catalysts prepared via incipient wetness impregnation (MoIWI), the microspheres with low Mo content (1.5-3.6 wt %) exhibited nearly 2 orders of magnitude higher steady-state propylene metathesis rates at 200 °C, approaching site time yields of 0.11 s-1.

Abstract
Organometallic complexes are frequently deposited on solid surfaces, but little is known about how the resulting complex-solid interactions alter their properties. Here, a series of complexes of the type Cu(dppf)(Lx)+ (dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, Lx = mono- and bidentate ligands) were synthesized, physisorbed, ion-exchanged, or covalently immobilized on solid surfaces and investigated by 31P MAS NMR spectroscopy. Complexes adsorbed on silica interacted weakly and were stable, while adsorption on acidic γ-Al2O3 resulted in slow complex decomposition. Ion exchange into mesoporous Na-[Al]SBA-15 resulted in magnetic inequivalence of 31P nuclei verified by 31P-31P RFDR and 1H-31P FSLG HETCOR. DFT calculations verified that a MeCN ligand dissociates upon ion exchange. Covalent immobilization via organic linkers as well as ion exchange with bidentate ligands both lead to rigidly bound complexes that cause broad 31P CSA tensors. We thus demonstrate how the interactions between complexes and functional surfaces determine and alter the stability of complexes. The applied Cu(dppf)(Lx)+ complex family members are identified as suitable solid-state NMR probes for investigating the influence of support surfaces on deposited inorganic complexes.

Abstract
In the framework of a protein-ligand-fishing strategy to identify proteins that bind to trans-resveratrol, a natural phenolic compound with pharmacological benefits, we have developed magnetic nanoparticles covalently linked to trans-resveratrol through three different derivatives and examined their aggregation behavior in aqueous solution. The monodispersed magnetic core (18 nm diameter) with its mesoporous silica shell (93 nm diameter) exhibited a notable superparamagnetic behavior useful for magnetic bioseparation. The hydrodynamic diameter, deduced from dynamic light scattering analysis, of the nanoparticle increased from 100 to 800 nm when the aqueous buffer changed from pH 10.0-3.0. A size polydispersion occurred from pH 7.0-3.0. In parallel, the value of the extinction cross section increased according to a negative power law of the UV wavelength. This was mainly due to light scattering by mesoporous silica, whereas the absorbance cross section remained very low in the 230-400 nm domain. The three types of resveratrol-grafted magnetic nanoparticles exhibited similar scattering properties, but their absorbance spectrum was consistent with the presence of trans-resveratrol. Their functionalization increased their negative zeta potential when pH increased from 3.0 to 10.0. The mesoporous nanoparticles were monodispersed in alkaline conditions, where their anionic surface strongly repulsed each other but aggregated progressively under van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding when negative zeta potential decreased. The characterized results of nanoparticle behavior in aqueous solution provide critical insight for further study of nanoparticles with proteins in biological environment.

Abstract
Complex metal hydride/oxide nanocomposites are a promising class of solid-state electrolytes. They exhibit high ionic conductivities due to an interaction of the metal hydride with the surface of the oxide. The exact nature of this interaction and composition of the hydride/oxide interface is not yet known. Using 1H, 7Li, 11B, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy and lithium borohydride confined in nanoporous silica as a model system, we now elucidate the chemistry and dynamics occurring at the interface between the scaffold and the complex metal hydride. We observed that the structure of the oxide scaffold has a significant effect on the ionic conductivity. A previously unknown silicon site was observed in the nanocomposites and correlated to the LiBH4 at the interface with silica. We provide a model for the origin of this silicon site which reveals that siloxane bonds are broken and highly dynamic silicon-hydride-borohydride and silicon-oxide-lithium bonds are formed at the interface between LiBH4 and silica. Additionally, we discovered a strong correlation between the thickness of the silica pore walls and the fraction of the LiBH4 that displays fast dynamics. Our findings provide insights on the role of the local scaffold structure and the chemistry of the interaction at the interface between complex metal hydrides and oxide hosts. These findings are relevant for other complex hydride/metal oxide systems where interface effects leads to a high ionic conductivity.

Abstract
A novel zwitterionic-teicoplanin chiral stationary phase (CSP), based on superficially porous particles (SPPs) of 2.7 µm particle diameter and 160 Å pore size, has been prepared and evaluated towards the enantioseparation of important classes of compounds, including chiral drugs, pesticides, and N-derivatized amino acids. The comparison with two analogous CSPs prepared on SPPs with 2.7 and 2.0 µm particle diameter and 90 Å pore size has revealed that the use of large-pore particles allows to dramatically improve both the enantioselectivity and the resolution-per-analysis-time, at the point that the column prepared with the new CSP outperformed the one packed with the finest particles. On the novel wide-pore CSP, the separation of fifteen racemates of pratical importance was significantly improved in terms of both enantioselectivity and resolution-per-analysis time-compared to the CSPs based on SPPs with smaller pores (90 Å). Such a CSP would be suitable for very fast enantioseparations allowing the saving of solvent for greener high-efficiency/high-throughput applications.

Abstract
A critical review of different prominent nanotechnologies adapted to catalysis is provided, with focus on how they contribute to the improvement of selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Ways to modify catalytic sites range from the use of the reversible or irreversible adsorption of molecular modifiers to the immobilization or tethering of homogeneous catalysts and the development of well-defined catalytic sites on solid surfaces. The latter covers methods for the dispersion of single-atom sites within solid supports as well as the use of complex nanostructures, and it includes the post-modification of materials via processes such as silylation and atomic layer deposition. All these methodologies exhibit both advantages and limitations, but all offer new avenues for the design of catalysts for specific applications. Because of the high cost of most nanotechnologies and the fact that the resulting materials may exhibit limited thermal or chemical stability, they may be best aimed at improving the selective synthesis of high value-added chemicals, to be incorporated in organic synthesis schemes, but other applications are being explored as well to address problems in energy production, for instance, and to design greener chemical processes. The details of each of these approaches are discussed, and representative examples are provided. We conclude with some general remarks on the future of this field.

Abstract
At aqueous interfaces, the distribution and dynamics of adsorbates are modulated by the behavior of interfacial water. Hydration of a hydrophobic surface can store entropy via the ordering of interfacial water, which contributes to the Gibbs energy of solute binding. However, there is little experimental evidence for the existence of such entropic reservoirs, and virtually no precedent for their rational design in systems involving extended interfaces. In this study, two series of mesoporous silicas were modified in distinct ways: (1) progressively deeper thermal dehydroxylation, via condensation of surface silanols, and (2) increasing incorporation of nonpolar organic linkers into the silica framework. Both approaches result in decreasing average surface polarity, manifested in a blue-shift in the fluorescence of an adsorbed dye. For the inorganic silicas, hydrogen-bonding of water becomes less extensive as the number of surface silanols decreases. Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (ODNP) relaxometry indicates enhanced surface water diffusivity, reflecting a loss of enthalpic hydration. In contrast, organosilicas show a monotonic decrease in surface water diffusivity with decreasing polarity, reflecting enhanced hydrophobic hydration. Molecular dynamics simulations predict increased tetrahedrality of interfacial water for the organosilicas, implying increased ordering near the nm-size organic domains (relative to inorganic silicas, which necessarily lack such domains). These findings validate the prediction that hydrophobic hydration at interfaces is controlled by the microscopic length scale of the hydrophobic regions. They further suggest that the hydration thermodynamics of structurally heterogeneous silica surfaces can be tuned to promote adsorption, which in turn tunes the selectivity in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Silica is widely used in industrial applications and its performance is partially decided by its surface hydroxyl density αOH. Here we report a quick, simple liquid 1H NMR method to determine αOH using a benchtop 1H NMR spectrometer. The results show excellent agreement with the literature with an αOH range from 4.16 to 6.56 OH per nm2.

Abstract
Ordered mesoporous materials and their modification with multiple functional groups are of wide scientific interest for many applications involving interaction with biological systems and biomolecules (e.g., catalysis, separation, sensor design, nano-science or drug delivery). In particular, the immobilization of enzymes onto solid supports is highly attractive for industry and synthetic chemistry, as it allows the development of stable and cheap biocatalysts. In this context, we developed novel silylated amino acid derivatives (Si-AA-NH2) that have been immobilized onto SBA-15 materials in biocompatible conditions avoiding the use of toxic catalyst, solvents or reagents. The resulting amino acid-functionalized materials (SBA-15@AA) were characterized by XRD, TGA, EA, Zeta potential, nitrogen sorption and FT-IR. Differences of the physical properties (e.g., charges) were observed while the structural ones remained unchanged. The adsorption of the enzyme lysozyme (Lyz) onto the resulting functionalized SBA-15@AA materials was evaluated at different pHs. The presence of different functional groups compared with bare SBA-15 showed better adsorption results, for example, 79.6 nmol of Lyz adsorbed per m2 of SBA-15@Tyr compared with the 44.9 nmol/m2 of the bare SBA-15.

Abstract
Protein immobilization on material surfaces is emerging as a powerful tool in the design of devices and active materials for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications as well as for catalysis. Preservation of the protein's biological functionality is crucial to the design process and is dependent on the ability to maintain its structural and dynamical integrity while removed from the natural surroundings. The scientific techniques to validate the structure of immobilized proteins are scarce and usually provide limited information as a result of poor resolution. In this work, we benchmarked the ability of standard solid-state NMR techniques to resolve the effects of binding to dissimilar silica materials on a model protein. In particular, the interactions between ubiquitin and the surfaces of MCM41, SBA15, and silica formed in situ were tested for their influence on the structure and dynamics of the protein. It is shown that the protein's globular fold in the free state is only slightly perturbed in the three silica materials. Local motions on a residue level that are quenched by immobilization or, conversely, that arise from the process are also detailed. NMR measurements show that these perturbations are unique to each silica material and can serve as reporters of the characteristic surface chemistry.

Abstract
The porous glass MCM-41 is an important adsorbent to study the process of adsorption of gases onto a cylindrical surface. In this work, we study the adsorption of oxygen, nitrogen, deuterium, and deuteriated methane gases into MCM-41 using a combination of neutron diffraction analysis and atomistic computer modeling to interpret the measured data. Adsorption is achieved by immersing a sample of MCM-41 in a bath of the relevant gas, keeping the gas pressure constant (0.1 MPa), and lowering the temperature in steps toward the corresponding bulk liquid boiling point. All four gases have closely analogous behaviors, with an initial layering of liquid on the inside surface of the pores, followed by a relatively sharp capillary condensation (CC) when the pore becomes filled with dense fluid, signaled by a sharp decrease in the intensity of (100) Bragg diffraction reflection. At the temperature of CC, there is a marked distortion of the hexagonal lattice of pores, as others have seen, which relaxes close to the original structure after CC, and this appears to be accompanied by notable excess heterogeneity along the pore compared to when CC is complete. In none of the four gases studied does the final density of fluid in the pore fully attain the value of the bulk liquid at its boiling point at this pressure, although it does approach that limit closely near the center of the pore, and in all cases, the pronounced layering near the silica interface seen in previous studies is observed here as well.

Abstract
Cellular delivery of nitric oxide (NO) using NO donor moieties such as S-nitrosothiol (SNO) is of great interest for various applications. However, understandings of the intracellular decomposition routes of SNO toward either NO or ammonia (NH3 ) production are surprisingly scarce. Herein, the first report of SNO modified mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles with tetrasulfide bonds for enhanced intracellular NO delivery, ≈10 times higher than a commercial NO donor, is presented. The tetrasulfide chemistry modulates the SNO decomposition by shifting from NH3 to NO production in glutathione rich cancer cells. This study provides a new strategy to control the NO level in biological systems.

Isosteric Enthalpy Behavior of CO2 Adsorption on Micro-Mesoporous Materials: Carbon Microfibers (CMFs), SBA-15, and Amine-Functionalized SBA-15. JOURNAL OF COMPOSITES SCIENCE 2021.

Abstract
The isosteric enthalpy of adsorption (Δadsh˙) of CO2 in three different micro and mesoporous materials was evaluated in this work. These materials were a microporous material with functional groups of nitrogen and oxygen (CMFs, carbon microfibers), a mesoporous material with silanol groups (SBA-15, Santa Barbara Amorphous), and a mesoporous material with amine groups (SBA-15_APTES, SBA-15 amine-functionalized with (3-Aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane). The temperature interval explored was between 263 K and 303 K, with a separation of 5 K between each one, so a total of nine CO2 isotherms were obtained. Using the nine isotherms and the Clausius–Clapeyron equation, the reference value for Δadsh˙ was found. The reference value was compared with those Δadsh˙ obtained, considering some arrangement of three or five CO2 isotherms. Finally, it was found that at 298 K and 1 bar, the total amount of CO2 adsorbed is 2.32, 0.53, and 1.37 mmol g−1 for CMF, SBA-15, and SBA-15_APTES, respectively. However, at a coverage of 0.38 mmol g−1, Δadsh˙ is worth 38, 30, and 29 KJ mol−1 for SBA-15_APTES, CMFs, and SBA-15, respectively. So, physisorption predominates in the case of CMF and SBA-15 materials, and the Δadsh˙ values significantly coincide regardless of whether the isotherms arrangement used was three or five. Meanwhile, in SBA-15_APTES, chemisorption predominates as a consequence of the arrangements used to obtain Δadsh˙. This happens in such a way that the use of low temperatures (263–283 K) tends to produce higher Δadsh˙ values, while the use of high temperatures (283–303 K) decreases the Δadsh˙ values.

Abstract
The control of surface wettability through a combination of surface roughness, chemical composition, and structural modification has attracted significant attention for antifogging and antibacterial applications. Herein, a two-step spin-coating method for amphiphilic organic-inorganic hybrid materials with incorporated transition metal ions is presented. The coating solution was prepared via photochemical thiol-ene click reaction between the mercapto functional group in trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) and the vinyl functionalized silica precursor 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. In the first step of coating, a glass substrate was coated using a solution of metal nitrate hydrates and subsequently showed hydrophobic properties. As the second step, the spin-coated glass substrate was further coated with silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) and polycaprolactone triol (PCT) suspension, where the contents of SiO2 NPs were fixed at 0.1 wt %, unless otherwise noted. The coated substrate exhibited hydrophilic properties. For comparison, the coating was also formulated with the SiO2 NPs/PCT suspension without SiO2 NPs and with 0.5 wt % SiO2 NPs as well as by adjusting different coating layer thicknesses. The surface morphology and chemical compositions of the obtained coating materials were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The transparency and static contact angle of coated samples were measured by UV-visible spectrophotometry and drop shape analysis, respectively. It was concluded that our novel hybrid coating materials exhibited excellent antibacterial and antifogging properties with extremely high scratch resistance and transparency.

Abstract
A nanoporous material has been applied for the development of functional nanobiomaterials by utilizing its uniform pore structure and large adsorption capacity. The structure and stability of biomacromolecules, such as peptide, oligonucleotide, and protein, are primary factors to govern the performance of nanobiomaterials, so that their direct characterization methodologies are in progress. In this review, we focus on recent topics in the structural characterization of protein molecules adsorbed at a nanoporous material with uniform meso-sized pores. The thermal stabilities of the adsorbed proteins are also summarized to discuss whether the structure of the adsorbed protein molecules can be stabilized or not.

Understanding Selectivity of Mesoporous Silica-Grafted Diglycolamide-Type Ligands in the Solid-Phase Extraction of Rare Earths. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2020; 12:57003-57016.

Abstract
Rare earth elements (REEs) and their compounds are essential for rapidly developing modern technologies. These materials are especially critical in the area of green/sustainable energy; however, only very high-purity fractions are appropriate for these applications. Yet, achieving efficient REE separation and purification in an economically and environmentally effective way remains a challenge. Moreover, current extraction technologies often generate large amounts of undesirable wastes. In that perspective, the development of selective, reusable, and extremely efficient sorbents is needed. Among numerous ligands used in the liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) process, the diglycolamide-based (DGA) ligands play a leading role. Although these ligands display notable extraction performance in the liquid phase, their extractive chemistry is not widely studied when such ligands are tethered to a solid support. A detailed understanding of the relationship between chemical structure and function (i.e., extraction selectivity) at the molecular level is still missing although it is a key factor for the development of advanced sorbents with tailored selectivity. Herein, a series of functionalized mesoporous silica (KIT-6) solid phases were investigated as sorbents for the selective extraction of REEs. To better understand the extraction behavior of these sorbents, different spectroscopic techniques (solid-state NMR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FT-IR) were implemented. The obtained spectroscopic results provide useful insights into the chemical environment and reactivity of the chelating ligand anchored on the KIT-6 support. Furthermore, it can be suggested that depending on the extracted metal and/or structure of the ligand and its attachment to KIT-6, different functional groups (i.e., C═O, N-H, or silanols) act as the main adsorption centers and preferentially capture targeted elements, which in turn may be associated with the different selectivity of the synthesized sorbents. Thus, by determining how metals interact with different supports, we aim to better understand the solid-phase extraction process of hybrid (organo)silica sorbents and design better extraction materials.

Abstract
In the last few years, forward osmosis (FO) has attracted increasing interest as a sustainable technique for water desalination and wastewater treatment. However, FO remains as an immature process principally due to the lack of efficient and easily recyclable draw solutes. In this work, we report that ionosilica hydrogels based on quaternary ammonium halide ionosilica are efficient draw solutes in FO. Fluidic ionosilica hydrogels were obtained via hydrolysis-polycondensation reactions of a trisilylated quaternary ammonium precursor in slightly acidic water/ethanol solvent mixtures. The liquid-to-gel transition of the precursor and the kinetics of the formation of hydrogels were monitored by liquid NMR measurements. The formed hydrogels were shown to generate osmotic pressure up to 10.0 atm, indicating the potential of these hydrogels as efficient draw solutes in FO. Our results suggest that iodide anions are the osmotically active species in the system. Regeneration of the hydrogels via ultrafiltration (UF) was successfully achieved, allowing the development of a closed FO-UF process. However, the osmotic performances of the ionosilica hydrogels irreversibly decreased along the successive FO-UF cycles, probably due to anion exchange processes.

Abstract
We reported the new biphasic composites of calcium phosphate and mesoporous silica material (CaP@MSi) in the form of powders and pellets as a potential bone drug delivery system for doxycycline hydrochloride (DOX). The CaP@MSi powders were synthesized by cationic surfactant-templating method. The effects of 10, 20, and 30% CaP content in the CaP@MSi powders on the molecular surface structure, the cytotoxicity against osteoblast cells in vitro, and the mineralization potential in simulated body fluid were investigated. The CaP@MSi characterized by the highest mineralization potential (30% CaP content) were used for DOX adsorption and pelletization process. The CaP which precipitated in the CaP@MSi composites was characterized as calcium-deficient with the Ca:P molar ratio between 1.0 and 1.2. The cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that the CaP content in MSi increases osteoblasts viability indicating the CaP@MSi (30% CaP content) as the most biocompatible. The combination of CaP and MSi was an effective strategy to improve the mineralization potential of parent material. Upon immersion in simulated body fluid, the CaP of composite converted into the bone-like apatite. The obtained pellets preserved the mineralization potential of CaP@MSi and provided the prolonged 5-day DOX release. The obtained biphasic CaP@MSi composites seem to have an application potential as bone-specific drug delivery system.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, in parallel to the rise of ordered mesoporous silica, porous nanostructured polymer-silica composites have attracted the interest of material scientists due to their promising perspectives of application as sorbents, ion-exchangers, supports, and catalysts. While knowledge is available regarding their synthesis and applications, understanding and controlling their pore properties in order to rationalize their performances remain challenging tasks. Greater knowledge is therefore needed regarding their precise characterization, especially using gas adsorption. To this aim, mesoporous polymer-silica nanocomposites were synthesized from two ordered mesoporous silica materials using a pore-surface restricted polymerization technique. Hydrophobic polystyrene, PS, and hydrophilic poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), PHEMA, were specifically confined and polymerized in the pores of high-quality SBA-15 and KIT-6 silicas of different pore sizes. The physico-chemical characteristics of the resulting hybrid materials were probed in detail using gas physisorption at cryogenic temperatures (Ar at 87 K and N2 at 77 K). The polymer loadings and the interactions between the silica host and the polymer were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis coupled with differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The effects of the pore structure, mode pore size and presence or absence of intra-wall pores in the silica hosts on the final composite characteristics were assessed as a function of the polymer type and loading. Two different polymer filling mechanisms were identified as a function of the polymer-silica interactions, resulting in important changes on the pore topology of the composites. The results of this study allow a better understanding of the nature of the confined interactions between hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers and large pore mesoporous silicas and shed some light on fundamental aspects regarding the design of silica-based composites.

Abstract
The ability to organize, separate and manipulate individual molecules and ions on a surface opens up almost unlimited opportunities. However, it often requires complex techniques and a proper support material. With this in mind, we show a new concept of 2D solid solvents and review a simple and efficient procedure which is based on nanostructured forms of silica with anchoring units. We describe silica supports, such as spherical nanoparticles and mesoporous silica structures, as well as review the methods for chemical modification of the surface of silica with the functional groups. Finally, we present a few particular examples of the immobilization of molecules and ions on the surface of 2D solid solvents along with the experimental investigation of the obtained materials.

Abstract
A chemical approach to the deposition of thin films on solid surfaces is highly desirable but prone to affect the final properties of the film. To better understand the origin of these complications, the initial stages of the atomic layer deposition of titania films on silica mesoporous materials were characterized. Adsorption-desorption measurements indicated that the films grow in a layer-by-layer fashion, as desired, but initially exhibit surprisingly low densities, about one-quarter of that of bulk titanium oxide. Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV/visible, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy data pointed to the amorphous nature of the first monolayers, and EXAFS and 29Si CP/MAS NMR results to an initial growth via the formation of individual tetrahedral Ti-oxide units on isolated Si-OH surface groups with unusually long Ti-O bonds. Density functional theory calculations were used to propose a mechanism where the film growth starts at the nucleation centers to form an open 2D structure.

Abstract
Surface polarity plays a key role in controlling molecular adsorption at solid-liquid interfaces, with major implications for reactions and separations. In this study, the chemical composition of periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) was varied by co-condensing Si(OEt)4 with organodisilanes, to create a homologous series of materials with similar surface areas, pore volumes, and hydroxyl contents. Their relative surface polarities, obtained by measuring the fluorescence of a solvatochromic dye, cover a wide range. In this series of PMO materials, EPR spectra of tethered nitroxide radicals show monotonically decreasing mobility as larger fractions of the radicals interact strongly with increasingly non-polar surfaces. The surface properties of the materials also correlate with their affinities for organic molecules dissolved in various solvents. The most polar PMO has negligible affinity for phenol, p-cresol, or furfural when these molecules are dissolved in water. However, stronger solute-surface interactions and favor adsorption as the surface polarity decreases. The trend is reversed for furfural in benzene, where weaker solvent-surface interactions result in higher adsorption on polar surfaces. In DMSO, furfural adsorption is suppressed due to the similar strengths of solute-surface and solvent-surface interactions. Thus, the polarity of the surface relative to the solvent is critical for molecular adsorption. These findings show how adsorption/desorption can be precisely and systematically tuned by appropriate choice of both solvent and surface, and contribute to a predictive strategy for the design of catalytic and separations processes.

Abstract
Olefin metathesis is the catalytic transformation of olefinic substrates, finding a wide range of applications in organic synthesis. The mesoporous molecular sieve Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA-15) has proven to be an excellent support for metathesis catalysts thanks to its regular mesoporous structure, high BET area, and large pore volume. A survey of catalysts consisting of (i) molybdenum and tungsten oxides on SBA-15, and (ii) molybdenum and ruthenium organometallic complexes (Schrock and Grubbs-type carbenes) on SBA-15 is provided together with their characterization and catalytic performance in various metathesis reactions. The comparison with catalysts based on other supports demonstrates the high quality of the mesoporous molecular sieve SBA-15 as an advanced catalyst support.

Abstract
Although iron oxides have been extensively studied as photocatalysts because of their abundance and environmental compatibility, their performance is notoriously low due to factors such as low photoinduced charge-separation efficiency. Iron oxides, thus, must be modified with expensive and/or toxic materials to attain higher performances, which devalues their appeal as sustainable materials. Here, we design an iron oxide exhibiting an unprecedentedly high photocatalytic performance unrealized by previous photocatalysts such as TiO2 for reactions including the selective oxidation of cyclohexane to industrial nylon precursors. The iron oxide photocatalyst consists of ferric dimers, otherwise extremely unstable, formed via etching of Fe and O sites from ferric oxide nanoparticles immobilized within porous silica. We demonstrate a remarkably high photoinduced charge-separation efficiency (long lifetime of active species) of the ferric dimers due to their electronic structure and the potential of this supported photocatalyst for many more reactions.

Abstract
Here, we report an inorganic hexagonally ordered mesoporous fibre-like carrier made of silica as an effective drug delivery system with mineralisation potential. Fibre-like SBA-15 has been modified by employing a simple surface activation (rehydroxylation) procedure. The surface-rehydroxylated fibre-like SBA-15 (SBA-15-R) was used to investigate the possible mechanism of hydroxyapatite (HA) nucleation and deposition onto silica's surface after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). Amorphous calcium phosphate, Ca-deficient HA and bone-like HA deposits were observed on SBA-15-R surface consecutively after 7, 14 and 21 days of immersion in SBF. Accordingly, our low-angle XRD, STEM and N2 adsorption/desorption results indicated that deposited ions were mostly located at the silica's surface and could modify the size of the mesopores. The SBA-15-R was studied in vitro as the potential bioactive drug delivery system using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model water-soluble and anticancer drug. The adsorbed DOX molecules were mostly located at the pore walls and pore openings, likely together with the silanol groups. The DOX release was diffusion-controlled and relatively slower in SBF (pH = 7.4) than in phosphate-buffered solution (pH = 5.0), most probably due to both the stronger electrostatic interactions occurring between the DOX and the SBA-15-R and the simultaneous deposition of calcium and phosphates ions from SBF.

Abstract
Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and p-xylene (BTEX) are hazardous volatile organic compounds mostly released from fuel combustion, paint gas emissions, and biomass burning. In this work, it is studied the BTEX sorption influence on the surface reactivity of a new kind of nanoporous composite, prepared via an in situ functionalization of SBA-15 with a Mg-Al calcined hydrotalcite (HTC). During its preparation, Mg/Al mixed oxides are indeed formed and dispersed on the SBA-15 surface with non-blockage porosity. Furthermore, the physicochemical surface properties are exalted from its precursors and it is synergistically favorable for the BTEX sorption at low pressure and temperature.

Abstract
Over the past decades, the need for rare earth elements (REEs) has increased substantially, mostly because these elements are used as valuable additives in advanced technologies. However, the difference in ionic radius between neighboring REEs is small, which renders an efficient sized-based separation extremely challenging. Among different types of extraction methods, solid-phase extraction (SPE) is a promising candidate, featuring high enrichment factor, rapid adsorption kinetics, reduced solvent consumption and minimized waste generation. The great challenge remains yet to develop highly efficient and selective adsorbents for this process. In this regard, ordered mesoporous materials (OMMs) possess high specific surface area, tunable pore size, large pore volume, as well as stable and interconnected frameworks with active pore surfaces for functionalization. Such features meet the requirements for enhanced adsorbents, not only providing huge reactional interface and large surface capable of accommodating guest species, but also enabling the possibility of ion-specific binding for enrichment and separation purposes. This short personal account summarizes some of the recent advances in the use of porous hybrid materials as selective sorbents for REE separation and purification, with particular attention devoted to ordered mesoporous silica and carbon-based sorbents.

Abstract
Nano-scale spatial confinement can alter chemistry at mineral-water interfaces. These nano-scale confinement effects can lead to anomalous fate and transport behavior of aqueous metal species. When a fluid resides in a nanoporous environments (pore size under 100 nm), the observed density, surface tension, and dielectric constant diverge from those measured in the bulk. To evaluate the impact of nano-scale confinement on the adsorption of copper (Cu2+), we performed batch adsorption studies using mesoporous silica. Mesoporous silica with the narrow distribution of pore diameters (SBA-15; 8, 6, and 4 nm pore diameters) was chosen since the silanol functional groups are typical to surface environments. Batch adsorption isotherms were fit with adsorption models (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich) and adsorption kinetic data were fit to a pseudo-first-order reaction model. We found that with decreasing pore size, the maximum surface area-normalized uptake of Cu2+ increased. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model demonstrates that the adsorption is faster as the pore size decreases from 8 to 4 nm. We attribute these effects to the deviations in fundamental water properties as pore diameter decreases. In particular, these effects are most notable in SBA-15 with a 4-nm pore where the changes in water properties may be responsible for the enhanced Cu mobility, and therefore, faster Cu adsorption kinetics.
