General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This is an enabling product and can be used as an alternative anode in lithium ion batteries due to its high energy storage capacity, low working potential, and abundance, offering a greener, potentially more sustainable option for energy storage.

Porous silicon dioxide nanopowder, also known as silica or silicon dioxide is a fine, white powder with a porous structure. It is composed of nanoscopic particles of silicon dioxide, 5-20 nm in size and has a high surface area due to its porous structure.

Application

Silicon dioxide finds applications in various fields, ranging from catalysis to composite synthesis. Some major studies are listed here:
  • Pickering emulsion polymerization using a silicon dioxide nanoparticle stabilizer to form molecularly imprinted polymers for steroid recognition.
  • Mesoporous silica is used as a catalyst support in the preparation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).
  • It is used as a ring opening of tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol to 1,2,6-hexanetriol.
  • It maybe used to prepare silica/brominated poly(phenylene oxide) nanocomposites membranes for CO2 seperations.
  • The composite scaffold of chitosan/chondroitin sulfate/nano-SiO2 was fabricated by lyophilization.PMID 22515103
  • Nanocomposites preparation of silica, single-wall carbon nanotubes, and graphite nanoplatelets in an epoxy matrix have been reported.6
  • Dielectric spectroscopy study of the polystyrene/nanosilica model system has been studied.
  • PMMA SiO2 nanocomposites were reported to be synthesized.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
