In this work, we investigated the kinetic balance between ammonia-catalyzed hydrolysis of
tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and subsequent condensation over the growth of silica …

The spoilage and forgery of perishable products such as food, drugs, and vaccines cause
serious health hazards and economic loss every year. Developing highly efficient and …

Rational design of electrocatalysts is important for a sustainable oxygen evolution reaction

We demonstrate the effective establishment of long-range electrostatic interactions among
colloidal silica nanospheres through acid treatment, enabling their assembly into colloidal …

By manipulating the nucleation and growth of solid materials, the synthesis of various
sophisticated nanostructures has been achieved. Similar methodology, if applied to liquids …

The well-known Stöber method has been widely used to synthesize nonporous silica
nanospheres (NPs), however, in the absence of surfactant templates, the synthesis of …

This work demonstrates a simple approach to rational fabrication of multishelled hollow
silica spheres via periodic injections of a given amount of tetramethylammonium hydroxide …
