Über dieses Buch

This book provides a comprehensive look at one-dimensional (1D) mesoporous inorganic nanomaterials. Beginning with a systematic presentation of their characterization using advanced electron microscopy techniques, the book discusses how to design the growth of 1D nanomaterials in order to achieve different, application-targeted morphologies such as nanowires, nanorods, nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanobelts. Subsequently, the book systematically summarizes current state-of-the-art research activities, encompassing energy conversion and storage, catalysis, sensing, and adsorption. The book concludes with a forward-looking summary of the different prospects of these materials for novel energy applications, as well as the challenges faced regarding their mass production, cost-effective synthesis strategies, and a deep understanding of the physics involved in the microstructure-dependent performance. Featuring broad and up-to-date coverage of this rapidly growing field, this book is useful for researchers working at the intersections of materials science, chemistry, and advanced energy devices.

Chapter 1. One-Dimensional Mesoporous Inorganic Nanomaterials, What Are They?

Abstract

The one-dimensional (1D) mesoporous inorganic nanomaterials are associated with the advantages of 1D configuration along with the mesoporous nanostructure simultaneously, including the huge pore volume, great surface area, framework stability and tunable pore size.

Chapter 2. Characterization of 1D Mesoporous Inorganic Nanomaterials

Abstract

The characterizations of 1D mesoporous inorganic nanostructures are critical for correlating their structure and chemical/physical performance. In terms of 1D mesoporous inorganic nanostructures, they are often investigated based on a variety of characterization techniques, mainly including electron microscopy, X-ray scattering, surface properties, Raman spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and so on. In this chapter, we mainly focus on the representative characterization methods of the 1D as well as the mesoporous structure, with respect to the fact that the other characterizations are overlapped with those used in other materials.

Chapter 3. Preparation of Mesoporous Inorganic Nanowires, Nanorods, Nanofibers and Nanobelts

Abstract

The 1D nanomaterials, which may exist as wires, fibers, belts, tubes or rods, arouse wide attention because they are significant in fundamental scientific research and may potentially be applied in the field of nanotechnology (Li and Xia in Nano Lett 4:933–938, 2004; Tian et al. in Nature 449:885–889, 2007; Zheng et al. in Science 333:206–209, 2011).

Chapter 7. Applications of 1D Mesoporous Inorganic Nanomaterials in Supercapacitors

Abstract

Electrochemical capacitors and supercapacitors represent the typical energy storage devices possessing rapid charge/discharge kinetics and a high power density (Zhu et al. in Science 332:1537–1541, 2011; Lang et al. in Nat Nanotechnol 6:232–236, 2011; Simon et al. in Science 343:1210–1211, 2014; Sheberla et al. in Nat Mater 16:220–224, 2017). In general, supercapacitors can be classified as the electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) or pseudocapacitors according to the energy storage and conversion mechanisms.

Chapter 8. Applications of 1D Mesoporous Inorganic Nanomaterials in Photocatalysis

Abstract

Fujishima and Honda first adopted the photoelectrochemical water splitting approach to prepare the TiO₂ electrode (Fujishima and Honda in Nature 238:5358–5539, 1972). Since then, semiconductor photocatalysis has been recognized as a favorable method to manage the problem of energy and environmental crisis (Mills and Hunte in J Photochem Photobiol A 108:1–35, 1997; Fujishima et al. in J Photochem Photobiol C 1:1–21, 2000; Robert and Malato in Sci Total Environ 291:85–97, 2002; Wang et al. in Energy Environ Sci 7:2831–2867, 2014). When irradiation under light with energy ≥ its band gap, electrons in the semiconductor are excited from valence band (VB) to conduction band (CB), as a result, holes are left in VB (Chen et al. in Chem Rev 110:6503–6570, 2010).

Chapter 9. Applications of 1D Mesoporous Inorganic Nanostructures in Solar Cells

Abstract

It is a good way to manage the severe energy crisis by fabricating solar cells that have great power conversion efficiency (Law et al. in Nat Mater 4:455–459, 2005; Zhang et al. in Adv Mater 21:4087–4108, 2009; Hagfeldt et al. in Chem Rev 110:6595–6663, 2010; Nie et al. in Science 347:522–525, 2015).

Chapter 10. Applications of 1D Mesoporous Inorganic Nanomaterials as Sensors

Abstract

At present, it is a hot topic to develop chemical sensors that have wide application potential (Kong et al. in Science 287:622–625, 2000;Kreno et al. in Chem Rev 112:1105–1125, 2012;). For enhancing the sensing properties, the nanostructures-based sensor devices are extensively studied since they have greater surface areas than the traditional bulks (Robinson et al. in Nano Lett 6:1747–1751, 2006;Huang and Choi in Sens Actuators B 122:659–671, 2007;Yavari and Koratkar in J Phys Chem Lett 3:1746–1753, 2012;).

The 1D mesoporous nanomaterials possess distinct characteristics, including the low density, great surface area, and decreased charge and mass diffusion length; as a result, they outperform the solid NPs in terms of electrocatalysis. At present, the 1D mesoporous inorganic nanostructures have been extensively utilized in numerous electrocatalysis fields, like HER, OER and ORR.

Chapter 12. Applications of 1D Mesoporous Inorganic Nanomaterials as Adsorbents

Abstract

Water pollution has become a severe global issue over the last few decades (Schwarzenbach et al. in Annu Rev Env Resour 35:109–136, 2010;Azizullah et al. in Environ Int 37:479–497, 2011;Wang and Yang in Environ Pollut 218:358–365, 2016;). Adsorption is the easy, viable and economical wastewater processing strategy (Malik in J Hazard Mater 113:81–88, 2004; Ali and Gupta in Nat Protocols 1:2661–2667, 2007; Karnitz et al. in Bioresour Technol 98:1291–1297, 2007; Hokkanen et al. in Water Res 91:156–173, 2016). Generally speaking, the adsorption efficiency for removing organic pollutants, heavy metals and anions is tightly related to the surface area.

Chapter 13. Applications of 1D Mesoporous Inorganic Nanostructures in Carbon Oxides Pollution Prevention

Abstract

Carbon oxides pollution includes atmospheric pollution by carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Complete oxidation of CO and conversion of CO₂ to fuel catalyzed by the catalyst are identified as the effective strategies for carbon oxides pollution prevention. Catalysts with high selectivity are suggested to contribute to reducing energy expenditure necessary to separate the products and dispose the wastes in the chemical industry (Zabeti et al. in Fuel Process Technol 90:770–777, 2009; Chouhan and Sarma in Renewable Sustainable Energy Rev 15:4378–4399, 2011; Atadashi et al. in J Ind Eng Chem 19:14–26, 2013; Qiao et al. in Chem Soc Rev 43:631–675, 2014).
