  • Patent number: 11891490
    Abstract: Disclosed are a protective starch-based film and its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of food packaging. According to the method for preparing the protective starch-based film, surfaces of zinc oxide nanoparticles are enabled to adsorb tannic acid and iron ions under the action of metal coordination by controlling the pH to obtain metallic polyphenol network coated zinc oxide nanoparticles, dispersion of the obtained nanoparticles is added to a starch gelatinization solution, and a melanin-like precursor is simultaneously added to form mixed liquid; and by controlling the pH of the mixed solution, ?-? stacking, self-polymerization and metal coordination are induced, so that a stable protective starch-based film with a nano-reinforced interpenetrating network structure is formed.

  • Publication number: 20220194793
    Abstract: A method for preparing an ordered cross-stacked metal oxide nanowire array is provided. The method includes the following steps: conducting synthesis by using an amphiphilic diblock copolymer as a structure directing agent, tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent and polyoxometalates (POMs) as an inorganic precursor, where the diblock copolymer can interact with POMs via an electrostatic force to form a core-shell cylindrical micelle in the solvent, which self-assembles to form an ordered multilayer-crossed organic-inorganic composite nanostructure during an evaporation process; the template is removed by calcination in air, thereby obtaining ordered and crossed metal oxide nanowires with various elements doping. The nanowire array material has a high specific surface area, a high crystallinity, and realizes uniform doping of heteroatoms.

  • Publication number: 20220194811
    Abstract: A method for preparing two-dimensional (2D) ordered mesoporous nanosheets by inorganic salt interface-induced assembly includes the following steps: carrying out, by using a soluble inorganic salt as a substrate and an amphiphilic block copolymer as a template, uniform mass diffusion of a target precursor solution at an inorganic salt crystal interface through vacuum filtration or low-speed centrifugation; forming a single-layer ordered mesoporous structure by using the solvent evaporation-induced co-assembly (EICA) technology; and promoting, through gradient temperature-controlled Ostwald ripening, the evaporation and induced formation of an organic solvent, and removing the template in N2 to obtain a 2D single-layer ordered mesoporous nanosheet material. The assembled nanosheet material has a large pore size, regular spherical pores and orderly arrangement. By changing the type of the precursor, a variety of mesoporous metal oxides, metal elements, inorganic non-metal nanosheets are synthesized.
