Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent properties and widespread applications have been explosively investigated. However, their conventional synthetic methods exhibit concerns of limited scalability, complex purification process, and incompetence of prohibiting their restacking. The blowing strategy, characterized by gas-template, low-cost, and high-efficiency, presents a valuable avenue for the synthesis of 2D-based foam materials and thereby addresses these constraints. Whereas, its comprehensive introduction has been rarely outlined so far. This review commences with a synopsis of the blowing strategy, elucidating its development history, the statics and kinetics of the blowing process, and the choice of precursor and foaming agents. Thereafter, we dwell at length on across-the-board foams enabled by the blowing route, like BxCyNz foams, carbon foams, and diverse composite foams consisting of carbon and metal compounds. Following that, a wide-ranging evaluation of the functionality of the foam products in fields such as energy storage, electrocatalysis, adsorption, etc. is discussed, revealing their distinctive strength originated from the foam structure. Finally, after concluding the current progress, we provide some personal discussions on the existing challenges and future research priorities in this rapidly developing method.

Abstract
Light olefins (C2-C4) play a crucial role as basic ingredients in chemical industry, and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of light alkanes to olefins has been one of the popular routes since the shale gas revolution. ODH of light alkanes has advantages on energy-and-cost saving as compared with traditional direct dehydrogenation, but it is restricted by its overoxidation which results in the relatively low olefin selectivity. Boron nitride (BN), an interesting nanomaterial with an analogous structure to graphene, springs out and manifests the superior performance as advanced catalysts in ODH, greatly improving the olefin selectivity under high alkane conversion. In this review, we introduce BN nanomaterials in four dimensions together with typical methods of syntheses. Traditional catalysts for ODH are also referred as comparison on several indicators-olefin yields and preparation techniques, including the metal-based catalysts and the non-metal-based catalysts. We also surveyed the BN catalysts for ODH reaction in recent five years, focusing on the different dimensions of BN together with the synthetic routes accounting for the active sites and the catalytic ability. Finally, an outlook of the potential promotion on the design of BN-based catalysts and the possible routes for the exploration of BN-related catalytic mechanisms are proposed.

Abstract
Smart ultra-stable foams stabilized by cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-based gels were fabricated. The stabilization is ascribed to the dense films and three-dimensional networks at the interface and in the bulk induced by the charge shielding effect and electrostatic attraction between protonated bis(2-hydroxyethyl)oleylamine (BOA-H+) micelles and negatively charged CNC colloids. The as-prepared foam could maintain its morphology without breaking or drainage for two months, showing high stability. Outstanding CO2/N2 reversibility endows the system with on-demand control of foaming/defoaming, which is necessary in many aspects. The functionalized foam is expected to open up an opportunity for the design of intelligent oilfield chemicals and extinguishant systems.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries have recently gained tremendous attention owing to their high energy capacity compared to other rechargeable batteries. Nevertheless, lithium (Li) dendritic growth causes low Coulombic efficiency, thermal runaway, and safety issues, all of which hinder the practical application of Li metal as an anodic material. In this review, the failure mechanisms of Li metal anode are described according to its infinite volume changes, unstable solid electrolyte interphase, and Li dendritic growth. The fundamental models that describe the Li deposition and dendritic growth, such as the thermodynamic, electrodeposition kinetics, and internal stress models are summarized. From these considerations, porous carbon-based frameworks have emerged as a promising strategy to resolve these issues. Thus, the main principles of utilizing these materials as a Li metal host are discussed. Finally, we also focus on the recent progress on utilizing one-, two-, and three-dimensional carbon-based frameworks and their composites to highlight the future outlook of these materials.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Nanocarbon/polymeric 3D porous composites have been widely developed as piezoresistive sensors due to their improved performances. Functionalized nanocarbon is usually used to allow its adsorption on the surface of porous polymeric material. However, both the functionalization and the surface localized distribution of the nanomaterial can limit the nanocarbon effect on conductivity and mechanical stability of the material thus affecting piezoresistive performances. EXPERIMENTS A novel nanoarchitectonics strategy to prepare an elastomeric/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) 3D porous piezoresistive nanocomposite is developed. The fabrication route does not require complex apparatus and CNTs chemical functionalization. Moreover, foams of any shape and dimensions can be produced with neither complex machinery and procedures nor wastes production. FINDINGS The obtained material is characterized by the presence of well dispersed pristine CNTs on both surface and bulk of the polymeric matrix. The foam exhibited improved piezoresistive properties with excellent compressive stress (>150 kPa), sensitivity at low displacement (29 kPa-1) and limit of detection for both pressure (2 Pa) and extension (130 nm). These excellent features could allow the use of the as prepared nanocomposite in different applications ranging from wearable devices to robotic or infrastructure monitoring with outstanding flexibility.

Abstract
Nanoarchitectonics is a universal concept to fabricate functional materials from nanoscale building units. Based on this concept, fabrications of functional materials with hierarchical structural motifs from simple nano units of fullerenes (C60 and C70 molecules) are described in this review article. Because fullerenes can be regarded as simple and fundamental building blocks with mono-elemental and zero-dimensional natures, these demonstrations for hierarchical functional structures impress the high capability of the nanoarchitectonics approaches. In fact, various hierarchical structures such as cubes with nanorods, hole-in-cube assemblies, face-selectively etched assemblies, and microstructures with mesoporous frameworks are fabricated by easy fabrication protocols. The fabricated fullerene assemblies have been used for various applications including volatile organic compound sensing, microparticle catching, supercapacitors, and photoluminescence systems.

Abstract
Although various synthetic methodologies including organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and materials science are the main contributors to the production of functional materials, the importance of regulation of nanoscale structures for better performance has become clear with recent science and technology developments. Therefore, a new research paradigm to produce functional material systems from nanoscale units has to be created as an advancement of nanoscale science. This task is assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics, which aims to produce functional materials and functional structures from nanoscale unit components. This can be done through combining nanotechnology with the other research fields such as organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and bio-related science. In this review article, the basic-level of nanoarchitectonics is first presented with atom/molecular-level structure formations and conversions from molecular units to functional materials. Then, two typical application-oriented nanoarchitectonics efforts in energy-oriented applications and bio-related applications are discussed. Finally, future directions of the molecular and materials nanoarchitectonics concepts for advancement of functional nanomaterials are briefly discussed.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Natural saponin glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and GA nanofibrils (GNFs) are effective foaming agents for formulation of aqueous food-grade foams. Through the synergistic combination of soft semiflexible GNFs with rigid nanofiller cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), it should be possible to create advanced composite foams with a more complex structure and diverse properties including high stability and stimuli responsiveness. EXPERIMENTS Foams containing mixtures of GNFs and CNCs were prepared, and their formation and stability were investigated. A range of microscopy techniques and small deformation oscillatory shear were adopted to examine the microstructure and viscoelasticity of foams, and a stabilization mechanism for highly stable foams was then established. Further, the temperature-responsive destabilization of foams was evaluated. FINDINGS CNCs are homogeneously distributed in the architecture and mechanically reinforce the GNF fibrillar network, leading to a highly viscoelastic composite network in the continuous phase of foams, which is the key factor responsible for their high stability. Such ultra-stable gel foams display tunable thermo-responsive behavior and a rapid on-demand destabilization upon heating by inducing a phase transition of the bulk composite network. Our work opens up new scenarios on the use of a novel combination of all-natural, sustainable nanoscale building blocks to develop aqueous "superfoams" which are highly stable, stimulable and processable.

Abstract
In this work, a surface cationized inorganic-organic hybrid foam was produced from porous geopolymer (GP) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). GPs were synthesized from alkali-activated metakaolin using H2O2 as a blowing agent and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant. These highly porous GPs were combined at pH 7.5 with cationic CNCs that had been synthesized from dissolving pulp through periodate oxidation followed by cationization in a deep eutectic solvent. The GP-CNC hybrid foams were employed as reactive filters in the removal of the anionic dye, methyl orange (MO; 5-10 mg/L, pH 7). The effects of a mild acid wash and thermal treatments on the structure, properties, and adsorption capacity of the GPs with CNCs and MO were investigated. The CNCs aligned as films and filaments on the surfaces of the neutralized GPs and the addition of CNCs improved MO removal by up to 84% compared with the reference sample. In addition, CTAB was found to disrupt the attachment of CNCs on the pores and improve adsorption of MO in the GPs with and without CNCs.

Abstract
Functional materials with rational organization cannot be directly created only by nanotechnology-related top-down approaches. For this purpose, a novel research paradigm next to nanotechnology has to be established to create functional materials on the basis of deep nanotechnology knowledge. This task can be assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics. In the nanoarchitectonics approaches, functional materials were architected through combination of atom/molecular manipulation, organic chemical synthesis, self-assembly and related spontaneous processes, field-applied assembly, micro/nano fabrications, and bio-related processes. In this short review article, nanoarchitectonics-related approaches on materials fabrications and functions are exemplified from atom-scale to living creature level. Based on their features, unsolved problems for future developments of the nanoarchitectonics concept are finally discussed.

Vanadium Phosphorus Oxide/Siliceous Mesostructured Cellular Foams: efficient and selective for sustainable acrylic acid production via condensation route. Sci Rep 2019; 9:16988. [PMID: 31740731 PMCID: PMC6861258 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53180-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 10/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
A new type of supported vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO) with self-phase regulation was simply fabricated (organic solvent free) for the first time by depositing the specific VPO precursor NH4(VO2)HPO4 onto the Siliceous Mesostructured Cellular Foams (MCF) with controlled activation. The resulting materials were found to be highly efficient and selective for sustainable acrylic acid (AA) plus methyl acrylate (MA) production via a condensation route between acetic acid (HAc) and formaldehyde (HCHO). A (AA + MA) yield of 83.7% (HCHO input-based) or a (AA + MA) selectivity of 81.7% (converted HAc-based) are achievable at 360 °C. The systematic characterizations and evaluations demonstrate a unique surface regulation occurring between the MCF and the NH4(VO2)HPO4 precursor. NH3 release upon activation of NH4(VO2)HPO4 precursor together with adsorption of NH3 by MCF automatically induces partial reduction of V5+ whose content is fine-tunable by the VPO loading. Such a functionalization simultaneously modifies phase constitution and surface acidity/basicity of catalyst, hence readily controls catalytic performance.

Abstract
Metal oxides can deliver high capacity to Li-ion batteries, surpassing conventional graphite, but they suffer from a huge volume change during charging-discharging and poor cycle life. Herein, we merge the dual strategies of 3D-network support and sandwiching design to tackle such issue. We develop a skillful O2-NH3 reactive pyrolysis of cellulose, where the preoxidation and the aminolysis result in the spatially separated charring of cellulose chains. A cellulose fiber is wonderfully converted into several ultrathin twisted graphenic sheets instead of a dense carbon fiber, and consequently, a cellulose paper is directly transformed into a porous flexible carbon paper with high surface area and conductivity (denoted as CP). CP is further fabricated as a 3D-network support into the hybrid CP@Fe3O4@RGO, where RGO is reduced graphene oxide added for sandwiching Fe3O4 particles. As a binder-free free-standing anode, CP@Fe3O4@RGO effectively fastens Fe3O4 and buffers the volume changes on cycling, which stabilizes the passivating layer and lifts the Coulombic efficiency. The anode thus presents an ultralong cycle life of >2000 running at a high capacity level of 1160 mAh g-1. It additionally facilitates electron and ion transports, boosting the rate capability. CP and CP@Fe3O4@RGO represent a technological leap underpinning next-generation long-life high-capacity high-power batteries.
