Abstract

The confinement of phosphates inside adsorbents is important for not only entrophication control, but also the recovery of phosphorous, a depleting natural resource. However, the behaviour of chemisorbed phosphates inside nanoporous materials has not been systematically studied. Here, the confinement of chemisorbed phosphates in a three-dimensional cubic mesoporous material with adjustable structural parameters is systematically investigated. By taking advantage of advanced electron tomography techniques, the relationship between the growth of chemisorbed phosphates, the overall phosphate-adsorption performance and the mesostructural parameters is revealed. Cubic cage-type FDU-12 materials with tuneable entrance sizes were prepared and functionalised with different amounts of lanthanum oxide. When the entrance size is smaller than approximately 5 nm, phosphates are found only in isolated cages, thereby leading to low lanthanum (La) usage efficiency and phosphate removal capacity. When the entrance size is increased, chemisorption occurs in both cages and entrances, thus forming crystalline LaPO4 nanorods and increasing both the La usage efficiency and the phosphate removal capacity. In addition, the LaPO4 nanorods show a preferential orientation along the [110] direction. This study provides new insights in the rational design of phosphate adsorbents with controlled structures and high performance.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 April 2013.
All research outputs
#3,517,064
of 24,629,540 outputs
Outputs from Chemistry - A European Journal
#2,048
of 22,968 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,452
of 204,063 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Chemistry - A European Journal
#24
of 156 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,629,540 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 22,968 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 204,063 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 156 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
