摘要

Functional mesoporous nanomaterials (FMNs), combining the advantages of mesoporosity and nanoscale effects, have attracted interest owing to their wide-ranging applications. Recent advances demonstrate that the nanoemulsion modular assembly method is a scalable, efficient and versatile platform for synthesizing FMNs in high yields, surpassing traditional templating methods in terms of the controllability in pore size, structure and morphology. Here we present the fundamentals and recent progress in nanoemulsion modular assembly for the design of diverse FMNs, including mesoporous polymers, carbons, silicas, organosilicas, metal–organic frameworks and their heterostructures. We first discuss representative nanoemulsion components and the modular assembly concept, and highlight key distinctions from traditional strategies. Next we present the structural control over nanoemulsions, discussing the underlying mechanisms that govern the diversity of FMNs. Subsequently, we summarize their applications in energy storage, catalysis, sensing and biomedicine. Finally, we outline unresolved challenges and future opportunities, underscoring the possibilities of nanoemulsion-based assembly strategies in advancing next-generation functional nanomaterials.
