Set off a revolution in the field of mesoporous materials-remember the innovation and application of ordered mesoporous polymers and carbon materials in the 2020 National Natural Science First Prize Project

There is such a material that can improve the conversion efficiency of heavy oil as a catalyst, and is expected to increase Sinopec’s annual output of about 1.

Create new organic mesoporous materials

Mesoporous materials are a material system developed in the 20th century, with regularly arranged, adjustable pore structure, high specific surface area and large adsorption capacity

This is because the formation of polymer and carbon is a polymerization process, and it is difficult to control the formation of pores in such materials

Zhao Dongyuan's team is determined to carry out research in this field

In 2005, Zhao Dongyuan's team published an article in "Germany Applied Chemistry", and proposed for the first time a new method of organic-organic self-assembly based on organic-inorganic self-assembly

Leading the development of mesoporous materials

This research has set off a revolution in the field of polymers and carbon materials

Since then, Zhao Dongyuan led the team to establish a systematic synthesis methodology, and created a series of ordered mesoporous polymers and carbon materials with different pore diameters, morphologies, compositions, and pore structures; a new strategy for multiple coordinated co-assembly was proposed, which realized The precise control of the functions of mesoporous polymers and carbon materials introduces a variety of functions into polymers and carbon materials universally, creating a new functional mesoporous composite material

　　On this basis, they revealed the unique material transport and interfacial reaction laws of mesopores, solved the problems of micropore mass transfer limitation and fewer macropore active sites, and achieved high specific capacity, high power and long cycle stability.

　　According to statistics, Zhao Dongyuan's team has created 19 new mesoporous materials

　　The flower of basic research bears fruit

　　The flower of basic research also bears fruit in the application

　　Taking petroleum refining as an example, only about 40% of the crude oil produced in China can be used as diesel gasoline through distillation and other methods, and the remaining 60% of the residual oil can only be used as asphalt for paving, and the conversion rate is low

　　They also used mesoporous materials to make supercapacitors, which have been demonstrated in LED street lights for the Beijing Olympics and electric vehicles for the Shanghai World Expo

　　In addition, researchers have also made future ideas, such as using mesoporous materials as insulation and heat-insulating materials on clothing, which is both light and warm; used in the medical field, may allow ligaments to re-grow along with it; If ion channels are made on the porous material, seawater power generation can be realized.
