Silicon is the best-known semiconductor material. However, controlled nanostructuring drastically alters the material's ...

Scientists have unlocked a new understanding of mesoporous silicon, a nanostructured version of the well-known semiconductor.

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

Using a specially developed etching apparatus, a team has now produced mesoporous silicon layers with countless tiny pores and investigated their electrical and thermal conductivity. For the first ...

Capillary condensation is a phenomenon that occurs when a vapor condenses into a liquid within the confined spaces of porous materials, such as mesoporous silica. This process is crucial for ...

In a latest research, scientists from Jiangsu University have developed an advanced method for the specific identification of ...

In this study, the researchers synthesized mesoporous silica and used a strategy that adjusted the molar ratio of ethylenediamine (EDA) to Ni to create Ni/MS catalysts with varying Ni particle sizes.
