The cover image by Bishnupada Mandal's team shows an FETEM image representing (3-Aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS)-modified silica nanoparticles (AFSNP). The nanoparticle exhibited uniform spherical structure with a narrow particle size distribution. The particle morphology showed no significant change with functionalization of the silica nanoparticles. However, the APTMS modified silica nanoparticles (AFSNP) exhibited slightly rough-edged spherical structures compared to the unfunctionalized silica nanoparticles. This could be attributed to the polymerization of the organic layer on the particle surface. The interconnectivity formed due to the silanol-amine interaction, in this case, ensured efficient enhancement of CO₂ separation. DOI: 10.1002/app.51438

Bishnupada Mandal 团队的封面图片显示了代表（3-氨基丙基）三甲氧基硅烷 (APTMS) 改性二氧化硅纳米粒子 (AFSNP) 的 FETEM 图像。纳米颗粒表现出均匀的球形结构，具有窄的粒径分布。随着二氧化硅纳米粒子的官能化，粒子形态没有显示出显着变化。然而，与未官能化的二氧化硅纳米粒子相比，APTMS 改性的二氧化硅纳米粒子 (AFSNP) 表现出略微粗糙的球形结构。这可能归因于颗粒表面上有机层的聚合。在这种情况下，由于硅烷醇-胺相互作用而形成的互连性确保了 CO ₂分离的有效增强。DOI：10.1002/app.51438
