Ordered Mesoporous Materials: Unlocking New Frontiers in Science and Industry
Ordered mesoporous materials have demonstrated immense potential across various fields, including catalysis [1], adsorption, separation, energy conversion and storage [2], environmental processing [3], sensing, information technology, electronic devices [4], and biomedicine [5]. These materials exhibit exceptional properties such as:
- Large pore diameter (2–50 nm),
- High specific surface area,
- Large pore volume,
- Adjustable pore structure and morphology,
- Diverse skeleton compositions, and
- Easily modifiable surfaces.
Moreover, mesoporous materials serve as nanoscale microreactors, enabling studies on the nanoconfinement effect, small size effect, surface effect, and quantum effect of nanomaterials from a microscopic perspective.
Mesoporous titanium dioxide is used in optoelectronic devices[4]
J&K Scientific's Functional Mesoporous Materials
J&K Scientific exclusively offers a range of innovative mesoporous materials developed by Academician Zhao Dongyuan of Fudan University. These materials are distinguished by the following advantages:
- Diverse Composition: Ten different types are available, including inorganic, organic, and metal oxides like silica, carbon, and titanium dioxide, enriching the mesoporous material options.
- Highly Ordered Structure: With a high specific surface area, large pore volume, and narrow pore size distribution, these materials show excellent potential for applications in various fields.
- Surface Functionalization: Their surfaces are easily functionalized with groups such as sulfhydryl, amino, epoxide, and imidazole.
- Excellent Dispersion: The particles exhibit good dispersion and resistance to agglomeration or settling, supporting advanced research in catalysis, adsorption, and separation.
