Summary: Novel spherically shaped organosilica materials with (propyl)ethylenediamine groups were synthesized using a modified one-pot Stober co-condensation method. The porosity of these materials was controlled by adding different silica monomers as structuring agents. The synthesized materials exhibited different sizes and mesoporosity depending on the amount of structuring silane used. The sorption capacities towards Cu(II), Ni(II), and Eu(III) ions varied depending on the porosity and spatial arrangement of the ethylenediamine groups.

Summary: Novel amino-functionalized organosilica materials were synthesized through co-condensation assisted by tetraethyl orthosilicate. The addition of TEOS was beneficial for constructing a porous network structure in the bridged organosilicas. These materials showed high saturation adsorption capacity for Ag(I) and followed the Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order model, with intraparticle diffusion identified as the rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic parameters, including ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS, were calculated for the adsorption process.

Summary: In this work, post-treatment sol-gel methods using acidic and alkaline TEOS solutions were applied to refine the porous network of ZrO2 coating and improve corrosion resistance. The alkaline TEOS solution resulted in the formation of a dense SiO2 interlayer and narrowed pores in the coating, providing the best barrier performance. On the other hand, the acidic TEOS solution mainly formed thin SiO2 layers on the ZrO2 coating surface, leading to poor barrier performance due to electrostatic repulsion forces.

Summary: Non-spherical bridged polysilsesquioxane (BPS) particles were successfully synthesized using a one-step sol-gel method. The presence of ammonia was found to be crucial for constructing different morphologies of BPS particles. Morphological and compositional analysis indicated the existence of silanol groups on the particle surface. A possible formation mechanism was proposed based on these results.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of pH on the structure and corrosion protection properties of sol-gel coatings, with a special focus on a broad pH range (pH = 1-10) during the sol synthesis process. Measurements of sol viscosity, molecular weight, particle size, and structural analysis of the sol-gel coatings reveal the highest condensation degree in samples with pH = 4. Electrochemical, localized electrochemical techniques, and morphology characterization demonstrate that the coatings with pH = 4 exhibit the best corrosion resistance. The results indicate that a high condensation degree leads to a compact and stable three-dimensional sol-gel network with a high crosslinking density and less silanol content, providing highly effective corrosion protection.

Summary: Extensive use of carbon-based materials has revolutionised modern scientific areas such as transportation, electronics, material chemistry, and electrochemical energy storage due to their outstanding characteristics. High purity carbon aerogels, prepared using synthetic chemistry techniques, offer superior conductivity, high porosity, and chemical inertness, making them a potential substitute for naturally occurring carbonaceous materials. Designing tailored polymeric carbon materials according to anticipated uses through altering synthesis parameters can fine-tune porous structures and facilitate composite material production.

Summary: This study synthesized biochar based on sapropel and investigated the effects of chemical modification on its textural characteristics, acid-base properties, and adsorption properties. The results showed that the chemical modification increased the fraction of micropores, specific surface area, and changed the surface properties of biochar. The experiment also revealed that biochar pretreated with alkali exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity for copper ions. A conceptual model identifying the mechanisms of copper adsorption on sapropel-based biosorbent was proposed.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
