Local mean-field study of capillary condensation in silica aerogels

, 2003
We apply local mean-field (i.e. density functional) theory to a lattice model of a fluid in contact with a dilute, disordered gel network. The gel structure is described by a diffusion-limited cluster aggregation model.

Mechanistic Insights into a Synergistic FeOx/Fe‐N4 System for Practical Nitrate Abatement with Value‐Added Ammonia Recovery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work provides a novel interpretation of the nitrate reduction mechanism on iron oxides (FeOx) by employing constant‐potential density functional calculations and reports the design and synthesis of a robust and high‐performance Fe3O4/Fe‐N4‐C catalyst with remarkable Faradaic efficiency, current density, and stability under practical reaction ...

Dual‐Ligand Metal‐Organic Frameworks via In Situ Amidoxime Engineering for Selective Ion Separation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by microbial ion‐trapping mechanisms, a mild and universal strategy is developed to construct highly porous amidoxime‐functionalized MOFs. DFT calculations and molecular force measurements reveal that the dual‐ligand amidoxime configuration significantly strengthens Ga(III) affinity.

Filtration Capacity and Radiation Cooling of Cellulose Aerogel Derived from Natural Regenerated Cellulose Fibers

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
Natural cellulosic materials are attractive biopolymers for their naturally abundant source, mechanical toughness, bioactivity, etc. However, porosity and flexibility remain challenges for the preparation of aerogels from natural cellulose.

First evidence of anisotropic quenched disorder effects on a smectic liquid crystal confined in porous silicon

, 2005
We present a neutron scattering analysis of the structure of the smectic liquid crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) confined in one-dimensional nanopores of porous silicon films (PS). The smectic transition is completely suppressed, leading to the extension

Generalized bioinspired approach to a daytime radiative cooling "skin"

, 2020
Energy-saving cooling materials with strong operability are desirable towards sustainable thermal management. Inspired by the cooperative thermo-optical effect in fur of polar bear, we develop a flexible and reusable cooling skin via laminating a ...

Flexible organofunctional aerogels

Dalton Transactions, 2017
Flexible inorganic–organic silica aerogels based on methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS, CH3Si(OCH3)3) can overcome the drawbacks of conventional silica aerogels by introducing high mechanical strength, elastic recovery and hydrophobicity to monolithic materials.

High Energy Density Asymmetric Aqueous Supercapacitor Based on a 2D Manganese Carbide as a Positive Electrode

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A circular route, involving upcycling of waste surgical masks, affords a Mn‐based layered carbide with porosity, redox activity and low work function. These features enable its effective operation as positive supercapacitor electrode in an aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor delivering 213 Wh L−1 energy density.

Three-dimensional Ising model confined in low-porosity aerogels: a Monte Carlo study

, 2006
The influence of correlated impurities on the critical behaviour of the 3D Ising model is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. Spins are confined into the pores of simulated aerogels (diffusion limited cluster-cluster aggregation) in order to study the

Superfluid Phase Stability of $^3$He in Axially Anisotropic Aerogel [PDF]

, 2008
Measurements of superfluid $^3$He in 98% aerogel demonstrate the existence of a metastable \emph{A}-like phase and a stable \emph{B}-like phase.
