Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...

Reactivity of Oxidized Porous Silicon with Calcium Ion in Aqueous Media: Stability, pH Behavior, and Host‐Guest Strategies

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Oxidized porous silicon, composed of an elemental silicon porous skeleton coated with a silica shell, reacts with aqueous Ca2+ to generate a mixed silica–calcium silicate matrix that is remarkably efficient at trapping small molecules. With an emphasis on the engineering of controlled‐release drug delivery systems, this study identifies the factors ...

Fluorescence Sensing of Anions Like Adenosine 5ʹ‐Triphosphate With pH‐Gated Porous Dye‐Loaded Cerasomes

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The development of gated systems enabling controlled pore opening offers new opportunities for sensing applications. This study explores dye loading in porous and non‐porous cerasomes and pH‐dependent ATP‐triggered gating via polyamine anchors. Porous cerasomes were synthesized using block‐co‐polymers, enabling controlled proton influx and fluorescence‐

Safeguarding the Photoluminescence of Silver Sulfide Nanocrystals in Biological Environments via Silica Shielding

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Interactions with biomolecules can alter the photoluminescence of Ag2S nanocrystals, undermining near‐infrared imaging and thermometry. Incorporation into dendritic silica minimizes these interactions and preserves emission intensity, spectral response, and lifetime in plasma and whole blood. This shielding enables more reliable imaging and temperature
