Chemical reactions tend to be conceptualized in terms of individual molecules transforming
into products, but are usually observed in experiments that probe the average behaviour of …

The goal of artificial photosynthesis is to use the energy of the sun to make high-energy
chemicals for energy production. One approach, described here, is to use light absorption …

Development of bioinspired nanomachines with an efficient propulsion and cargo-towing
has attracted much attention in the last years due to their potential biosensing, diagnostics …

Focusing on layered compounds at the core of materials intercalation chemistry, this
reference comprehensively explores clays and other classes of materials exhibiting the …

The study of amphiphilic polymer based functional organic− inorganic hybrid materials is an
emerging research area offering enormous scientific and technological promise. Here, we …

In this review, synthesis and functionalisation approaches for ordered mesoporous materials
and sol–gel glasses are described. Catalytic and adsorption applications are emphasised …

A sandwich electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor was fabricated based on
concanavalin A (Con A)-integrating gold-nanoparticle-modified Ru (bpy) 32+-doped silica …

Photocatalysts able to trigger the production of singlet oxygen species are the topic of
intense research efforts in organic synthesis. Yet, challenges still exist in improving their …

Novel oxygen sensors consisting of a [Ru (bpy) 2phen] 2+(bpy: 2, 2′‐bipyridyl, phen:
phenathroline) portion covalently grafted to a mesostructured silica‐based network are …

Silica sol− gels were covalently modified with N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-2, 7-diazapyrenium
bromide (DAP). Luminescent aerogels are created in which none of the fluorophore leaches …
