Carboxyl-modified PS microspheres were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization using methacrylic acid(MAA) as the functional monomer. PS microspheres were self-assembled into close packing colloidal crystals of facecentered cubic arrays to the substrate with vertical deposition method. These colloidal crystals were modified using dopamine(DA) to form poly-dopamine(PDA) during its oxidative polymerization. Through electrostatic interaction, the silver nanoparticles were deposited and adsorbed onto the surfaces of colloidal crystals templates by exposing [Ag(NH_3)_2]^+solution to infrared irradiation. Removal of the polymeric template by etching with methylbenzene solvent resulted in 3D ordered macroporous silver films. The structural and properties of the ordered silver-coated arrays and macroporous silver films were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS). The results indicate that the prepared silver-coated arrays and macroporous silver films possess the features of ordered multilayer arrangement, uniformity and repeatability as well as an ideal SERS effect.展开更多

The results indicate that the prepared silver-coated arrays and macroporous silver films possess the features of ordered multilayer arrangement, uniformity and repeatability as well as an ideal SERS effect.
文摘This review summarizes recent progress of the ordered macroporous composites with the opals and inverse opal structure. Synthesis and performance of the composites are emphasized. Composition of the ordered composites is tunable ranging within metal, metal alloy, metal oxide, polymer, carbon and hydrogel. The ordered structure gives brilliant color effects, which is useful for sensors and photonic crystals. The interconnected macroporous structure provides easiness for mass transportation and species culturing.

文摘The three-dimensional ordered macroporous CeO2:Yb,Er materials were prepared, and the influence of doping concentra- tion of Yb3+ or Er3+ ions on upconversion property was investigated. Green and red upconversion emissions were observed under the excitation of 980 nm at room temperature. It was found that the ratio of red to green upconversion emission intensity increased with increasing of concentration of the Yb3+ or Er3+ ions in the three-dimensional ordered macroporous CeO2:Yb,Er materials. When the concentration of Yb3+ was 10 mol%, pure red upconversion emission was obtained. The varied mechanism of ratio of red to green upconversion emission intensity was discussed with the concentration of Yb3+ or Er3+ ions.

文摘It is of broad interest to develop emerging photocatalysts with excellent light-harvesting capacity and high charge carrier separation efficiency for visible light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction.However,achieving satisfying hydrogen evolution efficiency under noble metal-free conditions remains challenging.In this study,we demonstrate the fabrication of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SrTiO_(3)decorated with Zn_(x)Cd_(1−x)S nanoparticles for hydrogen production under visible light irradiation(λ>420 nm).Synergetic enhancement of photocatalytic activity is achieved by the slow photon effect and improved separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers.The obtained composites could afford very high hydrogen production efficiencies up to 19.67 mmol·g^(−1)·h^(−1),with an apparent quantum efficiency of 35.9%at 420 nm,which is 4.2 and 23.9 times higher than those of pure Zn_(0.5)Cd_(0.5)S(4.67 mmol·g^(−1)·h^(−1))and CdS(0.82 mmol·g^(−1)·h^(−1)),respectively.In particular,under Pt-free conditions,an attractive hydrogen production rate(3.23 mmol·g^(−1)·h^(−1))was achieved,providing a low-cost and high-efficiency strategy to produce hydrogen from water splitting.Moreover,the composites showed excellent stability,and no obvious loss in activity was observed after five cycling tests.
文摘A novel glucose oxidase immobilized on three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) material has been prepared by firstly preparation of hybrid 3DOM SiO2-NH2 materials using colloidal crystal method, and following covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase on the pore walls of the 3DOM materials. The materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, DSC and BET techniques. SEM observation shows that the macropores are highly ordered and are interconnected by small windows. FTIR measurement shows that there are amino and organic groups in the pore walls. The surface area of the 3DOM SiO2-NH2 material is about 10.2 m2/g. The loaded amount of enzyme is increased with amino content in the materials. The immobilized enzyme has high activity, thermal stability and can be reused.

文摘Meso-structured (opal and inverse opal) polymeric hydrogels of varied morphology and composition wereprepared by using two methods: post-modification of the template-synthesized structured polymers and template-polymerization of functional monomers. A polyacrylic acid based inverse opal hydrogel was chosen to demonstrate its fastpH response by changing color, which is important in designing tunable photonic crystals. Template effects of the hydrogelson controlling structure of the template-synthesized inorganic materials were discussed. The catalytic effect of acid groups inthe templates was emphasized for a preferential formation of TiO_2 in the region containing acid groups, which allowedduplicating inorganic colloidal crytals from colloidal crystal hydrogels (or macroporous products from macroporoushydrogels) via one step duplication.

文摘A series of 3DOM CeMnO3 perovskite catalysts were prepared by poly(methyl methacrylate)hardtemplating-excessive impregnation method at calcination temperature of x℃(x=600,700,800)and the heating rate of y℃/min(y=1,2,5,10).The samples were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method,scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,H2-temperature programmed reduction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,moreover,the effect of the calcination process on the catalytic activity of the samples were discussed by the catalytic combustion of toluene.The results show that the 3DOM CeMnO3 catalysts calcined at 600℃promote the formation of a perovskite structure,inhibit the reduction of the Mn4+species in the catalyst with high temperature.The catalyst expresses the complete macroporous structure,large specific surface area(38.8 m^(2)/g),higher adsorption oxygen concentration and Mn4+substance concentration,with a low T90%=172℃.By preparing the catalysts at different calcination heating rates,it can be concluded that the catalyst possesses a high concentration of adsorbed oxygen and a low reduction temperature and a large specific surface area(40.42 m^(2)/g)greatly promotes adsorption stage catalytic oxidation reaction and catalytic combustion of toluene at low temperature under the heating rate of 5℃/min.When the heating rate is 1℃/min,the catalyst has a complete macroporous structure(>250 nm),which is beneficial to the exchange of macromolecular substances during the catalytic reaction and the catalyst has a high concentration of lattice oxygen suitable for the catalysis of toluene in high temperature flue gas combustion.
