Hybrid hollow silica particles: synthesis and comparison of properties with pristine particles.

ABSTRACT: In the past decade, interest in hollow silica particles has grown tremendously because of their applications in diverse fields such as thermal insulation, drug delivery, battery cathodes, catalysis, and functional coatings. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to synthesize hybrid hollow silica particles having shells made of either polymer-silica or carbon-silica. Hybrid shells were characterized using electron microscopy. The effect of hybrid shell type on particle properties such as thermal and moisture absorption was also investigated.

Hexagonal hollow silica plate particles with high transmittance under ultraviolet-visible light.

Project description:Creating hollow structures is one strategy for tuning the optical properties of materials. The current study aimed to increase the optical transmittance of silica (SiO2) particles. To this end, hexagonal-shaped hollow silica plate (HHSP) particles were synthesized from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and zinc oxide (ZnO) template particles, using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The size and shell thickness of the HHSP particles could be adjusted by using different TEOS/ZnO molar ratios and different ZnO template sizes, respectively. The optical transmittance of the HHSP particles depended on the shell thickness and particle size. The highest transmittance was 99% in the ultraviolet and visible region (300-800 nm) and was exhibited by HHSP particles with the thinnest shell thickness of 6.3 nm. This transmittance was higher than that exhibited by spherical hollow silica particles with a similar shell thickness. This suggested morphology-dependent transmittance for the semiconducting material. These preliminary results illustrate the promising features of the HHSP particles and suggest their potential application in future transparent devices.

Preparation and Properties of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Antireflection Films Made by a Low-Temperature Process Using Hollow Silica Nanoparticles.

Project description:Layers made of hollow silica nanoparticles have potential applications as antireflection films with lower refractive index values compared with existing materials such as silica glass (1.50) and magnesium fluoride (1.38). The advantages of such nanoparticles result from interactions between the solid shell, the cavity phase core, and the voids between particles. To obtain practical antireflection films, it is necessary to control the number of layers of these hollow silica nanoparticles and to fill the gaps between particles with a solid. In the present study, antireflection films were prepared by applying a coating of hollow silica nanoparticles dispersed in a UV-curable monomer solution onto plastic substrates. After film formation and exposure to UV light, the voids between the nanoparticles were completely filled with a polymer matrix. Tuning the particle concentration in the coating solution allowed the formation of antireflection films comprising one to three layers of the hollow silica nanoparticles. The reflectance of the films was dependent on the number of layers, and a 100 nm thick film in which two layers of hollow silica nanoparticles were precisely arranged showed the lowest reflectance of 0.92% at 550 nm wavelength, equivalent to a refractive index of 1.23. Because the voids between particles were filled with the polymer, these films resisted contamination during manual handling and so would be expected to maintain low reflectance during practical applications. This work demonstrates that nanosized inorganic-organic hybrid films composed of hollow silica nanoparticles and a UV-curable resin can exhibit optical properties and structural integrity that cannot be achieved by either substance alone.

Facile synthesis of palladium nanoparticles on hierarchical hollow silica spheres and its catalytic properties in Suzuki-reaction.

Project description:A novel well-dispersed Pd@HHSS catalyst was synthesized by reduction of Pd(OAc)2 immobilized on HHSS we reported. When the ratios of Pd/SiO2 were 5 : 100 and 10 : 100, the Pd nanoparticles size was about 5-10 nm. The Pd@HHSS catalyst (Pd/SiO2 = 10 : 100) showed high catalytic activity in Suzuki-reaction with yields of 91-99% and the catalyst is reusable after four successive cycles without obvious loss of catalytic activity.

Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution by Polypyrrole/Hollow Mesoporous Silica Particles.

Project description:Abstract: The removal of Cr(VI) in wastewater plays an important role in human health and environment. In this work, polypyrrole/hollow mesoporous silica particle (PPy/HMSNs) adsorbents have been newly synthesized by in-situ polymerization, which prevent the aggregation of pyrrole in the process of polymerization and exhibit highly selective and powerful adsorption ability for Cr(VI). The adsorption process was in good agreement with the quasi-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. And the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) was 322 mg/g at 25 °C. Moreover, the removal rate of Cr(VI) by PPy/HMSNs was ~100% in a number of binary systems, such as Cl-/Cr(VI), NO3-/Cr(VI), SO42-/Cr(VI), Zn2+/Cr(VI), Fe3+/Cr(VI), Sn4+/Cr(VI), and Cu2+/Cr(VI). Thus, the PPy/HMSNs adsorbents have great potential for the removal of Cr(VI) in wastewater.

Ethylene-bridged polysilsesquioxane/hollow silica particle hybrid film for thermal insulation material.

Project description:Ethylene-bridged polysilsesquioxane (EBPSQ) was prepared by the sol-gel reaction of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane. The whitish slurry was prepared by mixing EBPSQ and hollow silica particles (HSPs) with a median diameter of 18-65 μm at 80 °C, and it formed a hybrid film by heating at 80 and 120 °C for 1 h at each temperature, then at 200 °C for 20 min. The surface temperatures of EBPSQ films containing 10 wt% and 20 wt% of HSPs (90.2 °C-90.5 °C) were lower than those of EBPSQ films (93.6 °C), when the films on the duralumin plate were heated at 100 °C for 10 min from the bottom of the duralumin plate. The thermal conductivity/heat flux (k/q) obtained from the temperature difference between the surface temperature and bottom temperature of the films and the film thickness also decreased with adding the HSPs. EBPSQ film without HSPs exhibited T 5 d of 258 °C and T 10 d of 275 °C. However, EBPSQ film containing 20 wt% of HSPs exhibited high thermal stability, and T 5 d and T 10 d were 299 °C and 315 °C, respectively. Interestingly, T 5 d and T 10 d of the hybrid films increased with an increase in the number of HSPs. Overall, it was shown that HSPs could improve the thermal insulation properties and thermal stability.

Time-Dependent Controlled Release of Ferulic Acid from Surface-Modified Hollow Nanoporous Silica Particles.

Project description:Release of ferulic acid from surface-functionalized hollow nanoporous silica particles (HNSPs) was investigated in deionized water (DI water) and in ethanol. The host material, an HNSP, was synthesized in the presence of polymer and surfactant templates, and the pore as well as the surface were modified with either pentyltriethoxysilane (PTS) or octyltriethoxysilane (OTS) through silane coupling reactions. The inner hollow space occupied a volume of ~45% of the whole HNSP with a 2.54 nm pore channel in the wall. The pore size was estimated to decrease to 1.5 nm and 0.5 nm via the PTS and OTS functionalization, respectively. The encapsulation efficiencies of the HNSP (25 wt%), PTS-functionalized HNSP (PTS-HNSP, 22 wt%) and OTS-functionalized HNSP (OST-HNSP, 25 wt%) toward ferulic acid were similar, while the %release in DI water and ethanol varied following HNSP > PTS-HNSP > OTS-HNSP. Release kinetic analyses with Korsmeyer-Peppas fitting suggested a trade-off relationship between the solvent's ability to access the HNSP and the affinity of ferulic acid to the surface, allowing us to understand the solvent's controlled release rate and mechanism.

Tailored Synthesis of Core-Shell Mesoporous Silica Particles-Optimization of Dye Sorption Properties.

Project description:Monodisperse spherical silica particles, with solid cores and mesoporous shells (SCMS), were synthesized at various temperatures using a one-pot method utilizing a cationic surfactant template. The temperature of the synthesis was found to significantly affect the diameters of both the cores (ca. 170-800 nm) and shells (ca. 11-80 nm) of the particles, which can be tailored for specific applications that require a high specific surface area of the nanocarriers (mesoporous shells) and simultaneously their mechanical robustness for, e.g., facile isolation from suspensions (dense cores). The applied method enabled the formation of the relatively thick mesoporous shells at conditions below room temperature. Radially ordered pores with narrow distributions of their sizes in 3-4 nm range were found in the shells. The adsorption ability of the SCMS particles was studied using rhodamine 6G as a model dye. Decolorization of the dye solution in the presence of the SCMS particles was correlated with their structure and specific surface area and reached its maximum for the particles synthesized at 15 °C. The presented strategy may be applied for the fine-tuning of the structure of SCMS particles and the enhancement of their adsorption capabilities.

Decomposing Oil-Soluble Initiators in Particles: A Template-Free Method for the Preparation of Hollow Polymer and Silica Particles.

Project description:Nanovoids contained in hollow particles render them potential drug carriers. However, conventional methods for the synthesis of these particlhes involve complex processes. In this study, we developed a template-free method for the synthesis of hollow polymer and silica particles by initially preparing polystyrene core particles containing 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile) (V-59) through soap-free emulsion polymerization. The subsequent generation of nitrogen gas inside these particles upon the decomposition of V-59 at 70 °C led to the formation of voids. In addition, silica shells were synthesized on the surfaces of the V-59-containing polystyrene core particles through a sol-gel reaction at 40 °C, following which voids were formed by the decomposition of V-59 at 70 °C. The developed method involves straightforward steps and is environmentally friendly, as it does not require the use of surfactants, organic solvents, or templates.
