This film was used as a photoanode and showed significant improvement for photoelectrochemical water oxidation compared with a reference film of nonporous single-crystal rutile TiO2rod arrays.展开更多

However, the synthesis of hierarchically porous nanosized zeolites generally requires the assistance of templates acting as the mesoporogens, which limits its popularity. Herein, we report a one-pot and template-free synthesis of hierarchically porous single-crystalline nanosized zeolite beta only by introducing sodium carbonate in precursor solution. The resulted sample features the extraordinary properties, including the uniform nanocrystal （200-300 nm）, high pore volume （0.65 cm3g 1） and the hierarchical pore-size distribution （e.g., 2-8 and 90-150 nm）. After slicing pro- cessing, it is interestingly found that a large number of interconnected mesopores penetrate throughout whole material, which enables the hierarchically porous nanosized zeolite beta remarkably superior cat- alytic activity than the conventional zeolite beta in condensation of henzaldehyde with ethanol at room temperature. More importantly, this one-pot sodium carbonate-assisted synthetic strategy is highly ver- satile, which has also been successfully developed to synthesize hierarchically porous nanosized single- crystalline zeolites ZSM-5 and TS.展开更多
Herein we report two highly porous Zr-based metal-organic frameworks （MOFs, 1 and 2） constructed by the truncated octahedral secondary building unit （SBU） of Zr604（OH）4（CO2）12 and the organic linear ligand of ...Herein we report two highly porous Zr-based metal-organic frameworks （MOFs, 1 and 2） constructed by the truncated octahedral secondary building unit （SBU） of Zr604（OH）4（CO2）12 and the organic linear ligand of 4,4＇-stilbenedicarboxylic acid （H2sbdc） or 4,4＇-azobenezenedicarboxylic acid （H2abdc）. Both Zr-based MOFs are obtained as single crystals of suitable size for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, these two Zr-based MOFs have been fully characterized by powder X-ray diffraction （PXRD） studies, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）, infrared spectroscopy （IR） and gas adsorption analysis. In particular, their CO2 gas adsorption behaviors have been investigated and discussed.展开更多

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of 1 showed that deprotonated pypz^- ligands served as 1,2,4-triazolate-like ligands, linking Zn（II） ^＋ ions to form porous two-dimensional （2-D） sql-a layers {Zn（pypz）} , which were further connected by eight-legged pillars {Zn2（btc）4（H2O）2}8- based on the typical paddlewheel dinuclear Zn2（RCOO）4（H20）2 cluster to form a novel type of non-interpenetrated pillared-layer framework with 3-D intersecting pore system and large pore volume. Gas sorption measurements revealed that 1 possesses large BET surface area of 2061 m^2g^-1 and very high methane total uptake of 245 cm^3（STP） cm^-3 at 298 K and 65 bar.展开更多
