Temperature-Regulated Core Swelling and Asymmetric Shrinkage for Tunable Yolk@Shell Polydopamine@Mesoporous Silica Nanostructures
No full textFacile and controllable synthesis of functional yolk@shell structured nanospheres with a tunable inner core ('yolk') and mesoporous shell is highly desirable, yet it remains a great challenge. Herein, xx developed a strategy based on temperature-regulated swelling and restricted asymmetric shrinkage of polydopamine (PDA) nanospheres, combined with heterogeneous interface self-assembly growth. This method allows a simple and versatile preparation of PDA@mesoporous silica (MS) nanospheres exhibiting tunable yolk@shell architectures and shell pore sizes. Through reaction temperature-regulated swelling degree and confined shrinkage of PDA nanospheres, the volume ratio of the hollow cavity that the PDA core occupies can easily be tuned from ca. 2/3 to ca. 1/2, then to ca. 2/5, finally to ca. 1/3. Owing to the presence of PDA with excellent photothermal conversion capacity, the PDA@MS nanocomposites with asymmetric yolk distributions can become a colloidal nanomotor propelled by near-infrared (NIR) light. Noteworthily, the PDA@MS with half PDA yolk and microcracks in silica shell reaches 2.18 mu m(2) s(-1) of effective diffusion coefficient (De) in the presence of 1.0 W cm(-2) NIR light. This temperature-controlled swelling approach may provide new insight into the design and facile preparation of functional PDA-based yolk@shell structured nanocomposites for wide applications in biology and medicine

Rate-based model for predicting and evaluating H2S absorption in the haloalkaliphilic biological desulfurization process
No full textThe highly efficient performance of H2S absorption is the crucial indicator for haloalkaliphilic biological desulfurization (HBDS) because it immediately concerns the H2S removal efficiency and pH change of alkaline solutions. Therefore, we investigated the effect of operating parameters on the H2S absorption's performance under haloalkaline conditions. The gas-liquid ratio and packing height significantly improve H2S removal efficiency, from 80% to 90% and 66% to 99%, respectively. The absorption temperature had a trivial impact on the H2S removal efficiency, and the maximum value appeared at 45 degrees C. Additionally, all operating parameters caused pH changes that varied in the acceptable range (0.1 to 0.5) during the absorption process. A rate-based model was successfully developed to predict the haloalkaliphilic H2S absorption process accurately. Moreover, this model could be implemented to effectively evaluate the HBDS system's stability and provide reliable theoretical guidance for the industrial HBDS process to ensure good process stability.
