TL;DR: A simple evaporation-driven oriented assembly method is reported to synthesize three-dimensional open mesoporous TiO2 microspheres with a diameter of ~800 nm, well-controlled radially oriented hexagonal mesochannels, and crystalline anatase walls, making them ideal for conducting mesoscopic photoanode films.

TL;DR: A versatile ethanol-mediated oxidative polymerization of dopamine is demonstrated for the effective surface modification of nanomaterials and is promising for designing various functional nanostructures for a broad range of applications, such as drug delivery, protein purification, enzyme immobilization, and chemo/biosensing.

TL;DR: A facile and controllable interface-directed coassembly (IDCA) approach is developed for the first time to synthesize uniform discrete mesoporous silica particles with a large pore size by using 3-dimensional macroporous carbon (3DOMC) as the nanoreactor for the confined coassembly of template molecules and silica source.

TL;DR: Adsorption experiments indicate that the cobalt-based nanoparticle-incorporated mesoporous carbon microspheres exhibit excellent size selectivity for protein adsorption in a complex solution and good magnetic separability for easy recycling.

TL;DR: A facile carbonization strategy to synthesize ordered large-pore silicas functionalized with SO3H groups using co-condensation or post-modification is demonstrated and suggests that the immobilization of SO3h groups in mesoporous silicas with larger pore is more favorable for catalysis.
