TARTARIC ACID TEMPLATED SYNTHESIS OF MESOPOROUS Ti-INCORPORATED SILICA AND ITS CATALYTIC ACTIVITY FOR THE RING-OPENING POLYMERIZATION OF ε-CAPROLACTONE

Ti-incorporated mesoporous silica materials with pore diameters of 3-4 nm have been prepared via the co-hydrolysis and co-condensation reactions, that is the sol-gel reactions, of titanium (IV) tetrabutoxide and tetraethylorthosilicate in the presence of tartaric acid as template, followed by extraction with ethanol to remove the templatemolecules. The materials were characterized in detail by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption test, powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy. Theresults indicate that the Ti-containing silica materials have large specific surface areas (ca. 1200 m~2 g~(-1)) and pore volumes(ca. 0.900 cm~3 g~(-1)). The mesoporosity arises from disordered interconnecting channels or pores. The Ti-incorporated silicasexhibit catalytic activity for the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone, otherwise, the pure mesoporous silicamaterial shows no catalytic activity under the identical conditions.     

环境催化中的陶瓷材料:应用与可能性(英文)

Environmental catalysis has been steadily growing because of the advances in its scientific and engineering aspects,as well as due to the new environmental challenges in the industrial era.The development of new catalysts and materials is essential for new technologies for various environmental applications.Ceramics play important roles in various environmental applications including the identification,monitoring,and quantification of pollutants and their control.Ceramics have important applications as sensors and photocatalysts,and they are extensively used as catalyst carriers and supports.Many ceramics are being explored as catalysts for pollution control applications.Their low cost,thermal and chemical stability,and capability of being tailored make them especially attractive for pollution control applications.Although a wide variety of materials have been developed as catalyst supports,this area is still of interest with new or modified catalyst supports being frequently reported.It is of equal importance to develop new or modified processes for the loading of catalysts on specific supports.Applications like chemical looping combustion(CLC) and other catalytic combustion processes are raising the demands to a new scale.We have been working on the development of both new and modified support materials,including mesoporous materials without structural order for possible applications in CLC and other catalytic reactions.Successful attempts have been made in the modification of conventional γ-Al2O3 and improved synthesis processes for supporting perovskite type catalysts.Our research on environmental catalysis applications of ceramic materials and processes are also briefly discussed.     

Carbon-Supported Silver Catalysts for CO Selective Oxidation in Excess Hydrogen

Carbon materials were used as supports for Ag catalysts that are prepared using the conventional wet impregnation method, and their catalytic properties for CO selective oxidation in excess hydrogen at temperatures below 483 K were tested. A variety of techniques, e.g. N2 adsorption, XPS, TPD, UV-Vis DRS, TEM and SEM, were used to determine the influence of physical and chemical properties of the carbon on the properties of Ag catalyst. It was found that defects on the carbon surface served as nucleation sites for silver ions, while functional groups on carbon surface induced their reduction to the metallic form. The formation of silver particles on carbon was governed by homogeneous and/or heterogeneous nucleation during the impregnation and subsequent activation processes. The best catalytic performance was obtained with a Ag/carbon black catalyst with a uniform size distribution of silver nanoparticles (about 12 nm), moderate BET surface area (with a mesoporous structure), and a limited amount of carbon-oxygen groups. The research indicates that carbon materials are potentially good supports for silver catalysts for preferential oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen.     

Easy synthesis of iron doped ordered mesoporous carbon with tunable pore sizes

Precise control of the pore sizes for porous carbon materials is of importance to study the confinement effect of metal particles because the pore size in nanosize range will decide the physical and chemical properties of the metal nanoparticles.In this paper,we report a new approach for the synthesis of iron doped ordered mesoporous carbon materials with adjustable pore size using Fe-SBA-15 as hard template and boric acid as the pore expanding reagent.The pore size can be precisely adjusted by a step of 0.4 nm in the range of 3-6 nm.The carbonization temperature can be lowered to 773 K due to the catalytic role of the doped iron.The present approach is suitable for facile synthesis of metal imbedded porous carbon materials with tunable pore sizes.     

Optimization of preparation conditions of Fe-Co nanoparticles in low-temperature CO oxidation reaction by taguchi design method

Mixed iron-cobalt oxide(Co/Fe molar ratio=1/5) are prepared using a simple co-precipitation procedure and studied for the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide.In particular,the effects of a range of preparation variables such as pH value when precipitation,aging temperature,precipitation agent type and aging time are investigated on the catalytic performance of synthesized Fe-Co oxides in CO oxidation reaction.In addition,the preparation factors were optimized by Taguchi design method.The optimized sample was characterized by XRD,N2 adsorption/desorption,TEM and TGA/DTA techniques.The results reveal that the optimized sample shows a mesoporous structure with a narrow pore size distribution centered in the range of 2-7nm.The sample prepared under optimized conditions has high activity and stability toward removal of carbon monoxide at lower temperatures.It is shown that different preparation variables influence the catalytic performance of Fe-Co oxide in CO oxidation reaction.     

Catalytic performance of imidazole modified HZSM-5 for methanol to aromatics reaction

A facile approach was developed for the preparation of nano-sized HZSM-5 with a hierarchical mesoporous structure by adding imidazole into conventional zeolite synthesis precursor solution. The physicochemical properties of modified HZSM-5 were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), N_2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), NH_3-temperature-programmed desorption(NH_3-TPD) and pyridine adsorption infrared spectroscopy(Py-IR). The coke in spent catalysts was characterized by thermogravimetry(TG). The results showed that hierarchical HZSM-5 zeolites with excellent textural properties, such as abundant porous structure, uniform particle size and suitable acidity, could be synthesized by the recipe of one-pot synthesis routes. Moreover, the obtained HZSM-5 exhibited higher selectivity of total aromatics as well as longer lifetime in the catalytic conversion of methanol to aromatics, comparing with conventional HZSM-5. It is expected that the synthesis approach demonstrated here will be applicable to other zeolites with particular textural properties and controllable particle sizes, facilitating the emergence of new-type porous materials and their related applications in catalysis and separation.     

Characterizations and Catalytic Properties of Transition Metal Ions Incorporated in Mesoporous Materials

Mesoporous materials typified by MCM-41 possess well-ordered mesoporous channels with controllable pore sizes from 2-30 nm, and are expected as desirable materials for catalysis. However, silicious mesoporous materials generally do not have sufficient intrinsic catalytic activities. Thus many studies have focused on introducing catalytically active sites. It is expected that different synthetic methods would result in different coordination structures of metal cations introduced in MCM-41, a…     

邻二甲苯选择氧化V-Ti-O复合氧化物超细微粒催化剂

The structure and catalytic properties of V Ti O ultrafine particle catalyst for selective oxidation of o xylene have been studied. TEM and XRD results show that the particle size is in the range of 20～40 nm, and vanadium oxide is highly dispersed in TiO 2 (anatase). The catalytic activity of the V Ti O ultrafine particle catalyst for selective oxidation of o xylene to phthalic anhydride(PA) is higher than that of the larger oxide particles with the same catalyst composition prepared by impregnation and coprecipitation methods, indicating that the ultrafine V Ti O oxide particles are potentially new catalytic materials for the selective oxidation of o xylene to phthalic anhydride.     

Facile preparation of bi-functional iron doped mesoporous materials and their application in the cycloaddition of CO_2

Two kinds of bi-functional transition metal doped mesoporous materials(Fe-HMS and Fe-MCM-41) are prepared using one-step hydrothermal method and then treated with hydrochloric acid ethanol solution.The N_2 adsorption and HRTEM results show that both of Fe-HMS and Fe-MCM-41 possess mesoporous structure. The UV–vis results suggest that the Fe species are mainly located within the framework. The basicity of as-prepared samples was studied by temperature programmed desorption using CO_2 as probe molecule(CO_2-TPD). The catalytic performance of Fe-HMS and Fe-MCM-41 in CO_2 cycloaddition largely depends on the amount of the accessible basic sites. The acid–base active sites, framework Fe and PDDA species cooperatively catalyze the CO_2 cycloaddition for the production of cyclic carbonates under the condition without any co-catalyst. The conversion of epichlorohydrin(ECH) is 97.4% and the selectivity of chloropropene carbonate is 92.9% under optimal conditions. The approximate rate constant of cycloaddition reaction of CO_2 with ECH under optimum reaction temperature is calculated. It is worth noting that the Fe-HMS material shows superior reusability than Fe-MCM-41. In addition, this work provides a facile way on the synthesis of bi-functional acid–base heterogeneous catalyst with outstanding catalytic performance for the fixation of CO_2.     

Co,K-supported Hexagonal Mesoporous Silicas for Catalytic Oxidation of 4-t-Butyltoluene

<正>Co,K-Supported hexagonal mesoporous silicas(HMS) have been prepared by incipient wetness impregnation with cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and potassium acetate as metal precursors,and ethylene glycol as impregnation solvent.The products have been characterized via powder X-ray diffraction,N_2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy.The divalent cobalt with a tetrahedral oxygen coordination exists mainly in the calcined samples.The catalytic properties have been tested for the oxidation of 4-t-butyltoluene with dioxygen in liquid phase at mild conditions.The products offered good catalytic activities in the oxidation reactions.Co-K-HMS catalyst with loading 4%Co and 2%K(mass fraction) affords a higher yield(22.4%) of 4-t-butylbenzaldehyde at a conversion of 28.3%under the reaction conditions.Adding a proper amount of potassium in Co-HMS results in an improvement catalytic activity and stability.

Preparation and application of nanocatalysts via surface functionalization of mesoporous materials

Surface immobilization of active species onto mesoporous materials is gaining importance, especially in the design of functionalized mesoporous materials as a nanocatalyst through heterogenization of homogeneous catalytic systems. This article summarizes recent work on the synthesis, characterization and catalytic performance of the functionalized mesoporous catalysts performed by the present authors. A cationic rhenium(I) complex was encapsulated into mesoporous Al-MCM-41 molecular sieve using a ion-exchange method, yielding a new photocatalyst to be active for photocatalytic reduction of CO₂. Surface functionalization of mesoporous silica SBA-15 with sulfonic acid groups was investigated to give a solid acid catalyst. The chemically modified Fe-containing mesoporous materials, which are active for hydroxylation of phenol, were prepared by a surface-grafting method that iron salts are immobilized onto mesoporous Si-MCM-41 with the help of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as a linker. A cobalt(III) complex was heterogenized onto mesoporous silica SBA-15 containing carboxylic groups in order to utilize as a solid catalyst for the liquid-phase oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons.     

Nanoporous silica films containing aluminum and titanium

By utilizing surfactant aggregates as supramolecular templates, mesoporous and mesostructured silicas with highly ordered structures became available. The resulting mesoporous silicas are promising candidates to host various photo- and electro-active species along with catalytically active species, due to their large and controllable pore sizes, highly ordered pore arrangements with low dimensional geometries, and reactive surfaces. We have developed the rapid solvent evaporation method, which is a modified sol-gel process, for synthesizing the mesostructured silica-surfactant films as well as the mesoporous silica films. Supported thin films, self-standing films and bubbles of mesoporous silicas have been synthesized by the rapid solvent evaporation method. The microstructures of the films have also been successfully controlled by changing the synthetic conditions. Taking advantage of the ease of synthetic operation and the transparency and homogeneity of the resulting materials, we have been interested in the introduction of functional units into the mesostructured materials. This paper reports the synthesis of transparent films of titanium- and aluminum-containing nanoporous silicas to modify the surface properties (such as adsorptive and catalytic) of nanoporous silicas. The incorporation of Al led to the formation of cation exchange or acidic sites on the mesopore surface, as revealed by the cationic dye adsorption experiments. The photocatalytic reactions of the Ti-containing nanoporous silica films were also examined.

A TEMPO-Functionalized Ordered Mesoporous Polymer as a Highly Active and Reusable Organocatalyst

The properties of high stability, periodic porosity, and tunable nature of ordered mesoporous polymers make these materials ideal catalytic nanoreactors. However, their application in organocatalysis has been rarely explored. We report herein for the first time the incorporation of a versatile organocatalyst, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO), into the pores of an FDU-type mesoporous polymer via a pore surface engineering strategy. The resulting FDU-15-TEMPO possesses a highly ordered mesoporous organic framework and enhanced stability, and shows excellent catalytic activity in the selective oxidation of alcohols and aerobic oxidative synthesis of 2-substituted benzoxazoles, benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles. Moreover, the catalyst can be easily recovered and reused for up to 7 consecutive cycles.
