Imprint-coating synthesis of selective functionalized ordered mesoporous sorbents for separation and sensors

Patent Dai, Sheng ; Burleigh, Mark C. ; Shin, Yongsoon

The present invention relates generally to mesoporous sorbent materials having high capacity, high selectivity, fast kinetics, and molecular recognition capability. The invention also relates to a process for preparing these mesoporous substrates through molecular imprinting techniques which differ from convention techniques in that a template molecule is bound to one end of bifunctional ligands to form a complex prior to binding of the bifunctional ligands to the substrate. The present invention also relates to methods of using the mesoporous sorbent materials, for example, in the separation of toxic metals from process effluents, paints, and other samples; detection of target molecules,more »« less

Mesoporous silicon synthesis and applications in Li-ion batteries and solar hydrogen fuel cells

Patent Wang, Donghai ; Dai, Fang ; Yi, Ran ; Zai, Jianto

We provide a mesoporous silicon material (PSi) prepared via a template-free and HF-free process. The production process is facile and scalable, and it may be conducted under mild reaction conditions. The silicon may be produced directly by the reduction of a silicon-halogenide precursor (for example, SiCl.sub.4) with an alkaline alloy (for example, NaK alloy). The resulting Si-salt matrix is then annealed for the pore formation and crystallite growth. Final product is obtained by removal of the salt by-products with water.
