Claim 9:
10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the silane functionalized mesoporous silica has been functionalized by treating unfunctionalized mesoporous silica with a trialkoxyalkylsilane (R1Si(OR2)3), wherein:
R1 is selected from the group consisting of aromatic group, alkyl group, oxygen-containing alkyl groups, sulfur-containing alkyl groups, nitrogen-containing alkyl groups, phenyl, biphenyl, (C1-C8)-alkyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decanyl, undecanyl, methoxytriethyleneoxypropyl, alkoxyalkyleneoxyalkyl, haloalkyl, halo-(C1-C8)-alkyl, aminoalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, polyaromatic, toluyl, fluoroalkyls, fluroaromatics, and their combinations; and
R2 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, C1-C12-alkyl, with methyl, ethyl, and propyl being preferred, thereby forming a silane-functionalized mesoporous silica comprising plural silane groups R1Si-covalently bound to oxygen molecules of the mesoporous silica.
