resolution is very important for catalytic applications, yet very challenging for analytical …

Characterization of hybrid materials is crucial for gaining an in-depth understanding of nano-
objects. Here, it is evidenced that the use of multinuclear 1H, 2H, 13C, 15N, 67Zn and 17O …

We prepare various amino-acid functionalized silica pores with diameters of∼ 6 nm and
study the temperature-dependent reorientation dynamics of water in these confinements …

Abstract Effects of interfaces on hydrogen-bonded liquids play major roles in nature and
technology. Despite their importance, a fundamental understanding of these effects is still …

A series of novel functionalized mesoporous silica-based materials with well-defined pore
diameters, surface functionalization and surface morphology is synthesized by co …
