Ein einfacher Weg zu Siliciumoxidfilmen mit senkrechten Mesokanälen: Das Substrat wird in eine Stöber-Lösung getaucht, in der die Siliciumoxidvorstufen hydrolysiert, mit Ammoniak als Katalysator vernetzt und mithilfe eines Tensids auf dem Substrat zu hexagonalen Mesostrukturen zusammengefügt werden, die senkrecht zur Substratoberfläche angeordnet sind.

Reaction of [60]fullerene with β-substituted ethylamines under air conditions generated a series of scarce fulleropyrrolines with trisubstituted alkene functional groups in moderate yields.

In this communication, we report on the preparation of Ag nanoparticle-decorated 2,4,6-tris (2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine nanobelts (AgNP-TPTNBs) by mixing a AgNO3 aqueous solution and pre-formed TPTNBs with the aid of sodium hydroxide in the absence of any external reducing agent. The formation mechanism of AgNP-TPTNBs is discussed from the seed-mediated growth and considering the reduction potential of triazine and Ag(I) ions under alkaline conditions. It is found that the resultant AgNP-TPTNBs show great potential of Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique with high sensitivity up to 1.0x10-10 M by using p-aminothiophenol (p-ATP) as the model Raman probe.

The industrial production of NH₃ mainly uses the Haber–Bosch process, which consumes plenty of energy and releases large quantities of greenhouse gas. Electrocatalysis provides a promising alternative to realize low-emission and energy-saving pathways to achieve low-carbon and sustainable NH₃ production, where a highly identifiable and highly active electrocatalyst is desired for the N₂ reduction reaction (NRR). Herein, our recent experimental observations prove that hollow Bi₂MoO₆ spheres serve as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for NRR with brilliant selectivity. At −0.6 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode, the facilitator can acquire values for the FE and production rate as 8.17% and 20.46 μg h–¹ mg–¹cₐₜ., respectively. Meanwhile, hollow Bi₂MoO₆ spheres also demonstrate excellent electrochemical and structure durability.
