Hierarchical ZSM-5 with a shell of stacked coffin-shaped crystals and a core of nanocrystal aggregates was synthesized by controlling the formation and self-assembly of zeolite precursors formed in the initial stage of crystallization. The formed hierarchical zeolite shows superior catalytic activity for reaction involving bulky molecules due to enhanced mass transport.

Two kinds of mesoporous HPW/SiO2 composites, which have been synthesized respectively by the amino-functionalized (AF) method and evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method, have been used as catalysts in the oxidative desulfurization process of dibenzothiophene(DBT). The catalytic performance results show that the catalyst synthesized by EISA method holds higher catalytic activity than that synthesized by the AF method. The difference of catalytic activity can be attributed to the different synthesis mechanism of two kinds of composites. In the AF method, the bonding force between HPW and SiO2 is strong acid-base interaction, which damages the Keggin structure. Whereas in the EISA process, electrostatic force and hydrogen bonds between W=O groups and Si-OH groups are main bonding forces. The hydrogen bond holds the electron-withdrawing effect, which increases the activity of nonbonding W=O groups in HPW and then results in the enhancement of the catalytic activity.

Magnetic Microrobots

We develop biohybrid magnetic microrobots by electrostatic self-assembly of nonmotile sperm cells and magnetic nanoparticles. Incorporating a biological entity into microrobots entails many functional advantages beyond shape templating, such as the facile uptake of chemotherapeutic agents to achieve targeted drug delivery. We present a single-step electrostatic self-assembly technique to fabricate IRONSperms, soft magnetic microswimmers that emulate the motion of motile sperm cells. Our experiments and theoretical predictions show that the swimming speed of IRONSperms exceeds 0.2 body length/s (6.8 ± 4.1 µm/s) at an actuation frequency of 8 Hz and precision angle of 45°. We demonstrate that the nanoparticle coating increases the acoustic impedance of the sperm cells and enables localization of clusters of IRONSperm using ultrasound feedback. We also confirm the biocompatibility and drug loading ability of these microrobots, and their promise as biocompatible, controllable, and detectable biohybrid tools for in vivo targeted therapy.
