title: Tuning the wettability of mesoporous silica for enhancing the catalysis efficiency of aqueous reactions.
abstract: A series of mesoporous silica-based catalysts with finely-tuned surface wettability have been synthesized, of which the catalysis efficiency towards aqueous hydrogenations is highly dependent on their surface wettability and can be five times higher than that of the commercial Pd/C catalyst.
