AbstractHg(II) has been identified to be one of the extremely toxic heavy metals because of its hazardous effects and this fact that it is even more hazardous to animals than other pollutants such as Ag, Au, Cd, Ni, Pb, Co, Cu, and Zn. Accordingly, for the first time, tetrasulfide-functionalized fibrous silica KCC-1 (TS-KCC-1) spheres were synthesized by a facile, conventional ultrasonic-assisted, sol–gel-hydrothermal preparation approach to adsorb Hg(II) from aqueous solution. Tetrasulfide groups (–S–S–S–S–) were chosen as binding sites due to the strong and effective interaction of mercury ions (Hg(II)) with sulfur atoms. Hg(II) uptake onto TS-KCC-1 in a batch system has been carried out. Isotherm and kinetic results showed a very agreed agreement with Langmuir and pseudo-first-order models, respectively, with a Langmuir maximum uptake capacity of 132.55 mg g–1 (volume of the solution = 20.0 mL; adsorbent dose = 5.0 mg; pH = 5.0; temperature: 198 K; contact time = 40 min; shaking speed = 180 rpm). TS-KCC-1was shown to be a promising functional nanoporous material for the uptake of Hg(II) cations from aqueous media. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no report on the uptake of toxic Hg(II) cations by tetrasulfide-functionalized KCC-1 prepared by a conventional ultrasonic-assisted sol–gel-hydrothermal synthesis method.

Silsesquioxane-based networks are an important class of materials that have many applications where high thermal/oxidative stability and porosity are needed simultaneously. However, there is a great desire to be able to design these materials for specialized applications in environmental remediation and medicine. To do so requires a simple synthesis method to make materials with expanded functionalities. In this article, we explore the synthesis of R-silsesquioxane-based porous networks by fluoride catalysis containing methyl, phenyl and vinyl corners (R-Si(OEt)3) combined with four different bis-triethoxysilyl cross-linkers (ethyl, ethylene, acetylene and hexyl). Synthesized materials were then analyzed for their porosity, surface area, thermal stability and general structure. We found that when a specified cage corner (i.e., methyl) is compared across all cross-linkers in two different solvent systems (dichloromethane and acetonitrile), pore size distributions are consistent with cross-linker length, pore sizes tended to be larger and π-bond-containing cross-linkers reduced overall microporosity. Changing to larger cage corners for each of the cross-linkers tended to show decreases in overall surface area, except when both corners and cross-linkers contained π-bonds. These studies will enable further understanding of post-synthesis modifiable silsesquioxane networks.

A series of hierarchical H-MOR zeolites with different pore structure were designed and synthesized by alkaline and alkaline-acid post-synthesis methods. The catalytic performance of hierarchical H-MOR zeolite-supported vanadium oxide was investigated for dimethyl ether (DME) direct oxidation. Different pore structures apparently affect the distribution of oxidation product distribution, especially the selectivity of DMMx and CO. The formation of mesopores for 10%V2O5/deAlmm-H-MOR markedly improved the DMMx selectivity up to 78.2% from 60.0%, and more notably, CO selectivity dropped to zero compared to that of 10%V2O5/H-MOR. The hierarchical H-MOR zeolites were confirmed to be successfully prepared by the post-synthesis method. Due to the presence of mesoporous structure, the dispersion of vanadium oxide species was enhanced, which could improve the reducibility of vanadium oxide species and also make better contact with the acid sites of zeolite to exert the synergistic effect of the bifunctional active sites. More importantly, the creation of mesopores was proved to be favorable to the mass transfer of intermediate and products to avoid the occurrence of secondary reaction, which could effectively suppress the formation of by-products. This work is helpful for us to provide a novel insight to design the catalyst with suitable pore structure to effectively synthesize diesel fuel additives from DME direct oxidation.

Manganese-containing BEA zeolites, MnxSiBEA (x = 1–4 wt%) and Mn(I.E.)AlBEA, were prepared by a two-step post-synthesis method and a conventional wet ion-exchange, respectively, and applied as catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction of NO with ammonia (NH3-SCR).

This article provides an overview of the emerging technology of enzymatic DNA synthesis, which holds the promise of making the business of writing DNA cost-effective, faster, sustainable, and more accurate compared to the traditional DNA synthesis method of phosphoramidite chemistry. Enzymatic DNA synthesis lends itself to various business models to realize the enormous opportunities across established and emerging industries that can be transformed with the reliable and affordable creation of long, high-quality, sequence specific DNA or, in the case of DNA data storage, the template-independent creation of DNA in nontoxic solutions without the need for post-synthesis processing. This review includes a discussion of potential verticals, such as life sciences – which includes gene editing, synthetic biology, precision medicine, DNA nanotechnology, and RNA vaccine development – as well as DNA data storage. Enzymatic DNA synthesis is being rapidly advanced to a commercial reality, with the first enzymatically synthesized DNA products to enter the market in the next year.
