Abstract

Functional mesoporous materials possess both unique properties of high surface area, large pore channels and volume, showing great potential applications in catalysis, adsorption, separation, biomedicines, and so on. Here we present the development and progress for the synthesis of the functional mesoporous nanoparticles from novel "oriented assembly" strategy by interfacial control. A series of new synthesis approaches have been developed based on the oriented assembly strategy in my group. Novel mesoporous nanomaterials with multi-level architectures can be well synthesized, such as core-shell, yolk-shell, multi-shell, 2D nanosheet structures for nanospheres, superstructured and asymmetric Janus, single-hole hollow spheres, multipods, streamlined nanotadpoles, etc. The obtained functional mesoporous nanomaterials with regularly multi-level architectures possess uniform and controllable mesopore channels, high surface area, large pore volume, open frameworks and unique fluid mechanics showing great potential applications in catalysis, adsorption & separation, biomedicines and energy conversion & storage.

About Prof. Dongyuan Zhao

Prof. Dongyuan Zhao was born in Northeast of China, he received B.S. (1984), M.S. (1987) and PhD (1990) from Jilin University. He was a post-doctoral fellow at University of Houston (1995–96), University of California at Santa Barbara (1996–98). Now he is a Professor (Cheung Kong and Hao-Qing Professorship) in the Department of Chemistry at Fudan University. Currently, he is a fragmental professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Monash University. He was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and The World Academy of Science (TWAS), Council Member of IZA, President of the International Mesostructured Materials Association (IMMA). He has received many awards such as ACS Nano Award (2021); 1st Grade Award of Natural Science; Nano Research Award (2020); Khwarizmi International Award (KIA) (2019); JCIS Darsh Wasan Award (2018); Chemistry Contribution Award, China Chemical Society (2018); TWAS Lenovo Science Prize (2016); CRN Rao Award from India Chemical Research Society (2013); Muetterties Memory Award (2012); The Ho Leung Ho Lee Award (2009), TWAS Prize (2008); IMMS Award (2008); DuPond Award (2005). He is now appointed as senior Editor of ACS Central Science; he serviced as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Materials Chemistry, and co-editor of the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. He published more than 750 peer-review papers, 90 patents and is listed as one of the highly cited researchers ISI in both Chemistry and Materials Science fields (Total citation ~ 126,000, h index 173). His research interests mainly include designed synthesis, assembly, structure and application of ordered mesoporous materials.
