The silicone skeleton is a network structure material composed of silicon atoms and organic groups, which has unique chemical and physical properties. It is widely used in the fields of chemistry, materials, biomedicine and electronics. The basic structure of the silicone skeleton is composed of silicon atoms and organic groups, and the silicon atom can be connected with four organic groups or other atomic groups to form a tetrahedral structure, thereby forming a three-dimensional network structure. This structure enables the organic silicon skeleton to have a variety of bond connections, such as silicon-oxygen bonds, silicon-carbon bonds, silicon-nitrogen bonds, etc., and different combinations of these bonds can form organic silicon skeletons with different structures and properties.

There are various synthetic methods of silicone skeleton, including thermal polymerization, photopolymerization, sol-gel method and so on. Thermal polymerization is a commonly used method to form an organosilicon backbone by heating a silicate and an organic monomer mixture to react at high temperatures. The sol-gel rule is to place the silicon source and the organic monomer in a solution, form a gel by adjusting the pH value and temperature of the solution, and then form an organic silicon skeleton by heating or drying.

Silicone skeleton shows a wide range of applications in many fields. In the energy field, it is used as a hydrogen storage and energy storage material. Its high surface area and pore structure make it have a high adsorption capacity and can be used as a hydrogen storage material. In the field of catalysis, as a porous catalyst, organosilicon framework has a high surface area and active sites, which is used to catalyze organic synthesis and redox reactions. In addition, it can also be used as a carrier for fixing metal nanoparticles to improve the stability and catalytic activity of the catalyst. In the environmental field, due to its good adsorption performance and high chemical stability, the silicone skeleton is used for the adsorption removal of heavy metal ions and organic matter in water treatment, and as an adsorption material for gas phase pollutants for air purification. In the biomedical field, silicone scaffolds can be used for biomedical imaging and the like. In terms of sensors, they can be used to detect ions, molecules, etc. in the environment by changing their surface functional groups.

In short, as a new type of silicone composite material, silicone skeleton has unique structure and properties, and is widely used in many fields. With the development of material science and chemical technology, the synthesis methods and applications of silicone skeletons will continue to develop and innovate, and make greater contributions to the progress and development of human society.
