Increase of third-order nonlinear optical activity of PbS quantum dots in zeolite Y by increasing cation size

The third-order nonlinear optical (3NLO) activity of PbS quantum dots (QDs) encapsulated in zeolite Y has been expected to depend sensitively on the countercation of the zeolite host. However, ion exchange of the pristine countercation, H(+), with other cations has not been possible because the framework decomposes and the QDs aggregate immediately when the PbS QD-incorporating zeolite Y with H(+) as the countercation is exposed to the atmosphere. We now report that when H(+) is transformed to NH(4)(+), the framework of PbS QD-containing zeolite Y does not undergo decomposition and the PbS QDs do not undergo aggregation to form larger QDs during the aqueous ion exchange of NH(4)(+) with alkali-metal ions (M(A)(+) = Li, Na(+), K(+), Rb(+)). The 3NLO activity of the M(A)(+)-exchanged PbS QD-incorporating zeolite Y film increases with increasing size of M(A)(+). The stabilization of the surface-bound exciton by the electron-rich framework oxide and electron-poor cation is proposed to be responsible for the increase. This is the first example of a method for systematically increasing the 3NLO activity of QDs dispersed in a dielectric matrix by systematically changing its properties. These results will serve as a guideline for future research and also promote applications of QD-incorporating zeolites in various fields.     

Effect of water on the behavior of semiconductor quantum dots in zeolite Y: aggregation with framework destruction with H-Y and disaggregation with framework preservation for NH4-Y

Treatment of dry M(2+)-exchanged zeolite Y (M(2+) = Cd(2+), Mn(2+), and Zn(2+)) with dry H(2)S leads to the formation of isolated, ligand-free, subnanometer MS quantum dots (QDs) in zeolite Y with no framework destruction and with H(+) as the countercation. Treatment of the dry H(+)/CdS QD-incorporating zeolites Y with dry NH(3) leads to the neutralization of H(+) to NH(4)(+). During this process, the framework structure remains intact. However, small amounts of interconnected CdS QDs were formed within the zeolite Y by coalition of isolated CdS QDs at the windows. With H(+) as the countercation, isolated CdS QDs rapidly aggregate into interconnected and mesosized QDs with accompanying destruction of ～50% of sodalite cages leading to the framework rupture. With NH(4)(+) as the countercation, however, the isolated QDs and zeolite framework remain intact even after exposure to the moist air for 4 weeks. Interestingly, the interconnected QDs that were formed during neutralization of H(+) with NH(3) disintegrate into isolated QDs in the air. Similar results were obtained from ZnS and MnS QDs generated in zeolite Y. Thus, ligand-free, naked, subnanometer QDs can now be safely preserved within zeolite pores under the ambient conditions for long periods of time. This finding will expedite the generation and dispersion of various QDs in zeolite pores, their physicochemical studies, and applications.     

Very high third-order nonlinear optical activities of intrazeolite PbS quantum dots

Zeolite-intercalated semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have long been proposed to give very high third-order nonlinear optical (3NLO) responses. However, measurements of their 3NLO responses have not been possible due to the lack of methods to prepare optically transparent QD-incorporating zeolite films supported on optically transparent substrates and to confine QDs only within zeolite interiors. We found that the zeolite-Y films grown on indium-tin-oxide-coated glass plates (Ygs) remain firmly bonded to the substrates during ion exchange with Pb2+ ions, drying, and formation of PbS QDs by treating Pb2+ ions with H2S. A series of Ygs encapsulating different numbers (n = 0, 8, 14, 23, and 33) of PbS in a unit cell [(PbS)n-Yg] were prepared. The PbS QDs were expelled by adsorbed moisture to the external surfaces, and the expelled QDs formed large QDs. Coating of the (PbS)n-Ygs with octadecyltrimethoxysilane results in effective confinement of the QDs within the internal pores. The zeolite-encapsulated PbS QDs showed remarkably high 3NLO activities at 532 and 1064 nm which are unparalleled by other PbS QDs dispersed in other matrixes.

微波辐射促进ZnCl2与Y分子筛固相反应的研究

ZnCl2/Y catalysts prepared by solid-state reaction of anhydrous ZnCl2 and Y zeolites under microwave irradiation were characterized by XRD, IR and AAS. ZnCl2 was intercalated in Y zeolites and dispersed on the surface of Y zeolite, part of ZnCl2 dispersed could result in solid-state ion exchange with Y. The amount of dispersion and solid-state ion exchange were related to ZnCl2 loading and the surface acid property of the zeolite. When ZnCl2 loading was 37.5% (mass fraction) in NaY zeolite, ZnCl2 was still completely dispersed on the surf are of zeolite and the degree of solid- state ion exchang was 84%. The appearance of new band at 890 cm-l in the framework IR spectra of ZnCl2/NaY sample was due to the dispersed ZnCl2 coordinating strongly with oxygen of NaY surface. With the increasing of the number of arid centers and the acid strength of the surface of Y zeolite the amount of solid-state ion exchange decreased.

FT-infrared band analysis and temperature programmed dessorption for the Y,L and ferrierite zeolites

With the aim to qualifying and quantifying the acidity of the Y, L and ferrierite zeolites, an infrared band analysis of pyridine adsorption and programmed temperature dessorption measurements were carried out to a set of nine samples of the Y, L and ferrierite zeolites. The infrared spectra before and after the pyridine adsorption process had revealed that the ferrierite zeolite shows, almost in the totality, Br?nsted acid sites. The Y and L zeolites present, also, significative concentrations of Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites. These facts allow to conclude that zeolite ferrierite is the strongest acid zeolite among these three types.     

不同方法制备的脱铝Y沸石的孔结构

Y沸石脱铝有多种方法。由于在脱铝过程中发生水解、聚合、重排等反应,分子筛的孔结构将发生很大的变化,如形成空穴,甚至可导致骨架结构单元的崩塌,形成二次孔。由于不同的脱铝方法的脱铝机理不同,即使它们的脱铝程度一致,产生的孔结构也将不同,这必将导致它们的酸性质和催化性能的差异。目前关于Y沸石孔结构的研究报导还很少,尤其对SSY,US-SSY沸石孔结构的报导更为鲜见。本文用低温N_2吸附-脱附等温线和层厚t等方法,对四种不同方法制备的脱铝Y沸石(USY,DAY,SSY和US-SSY)的微孔、二次孔及其孔径分布(2.0～60.0nm)进行了初步研究,得到了一些有用的信息,为进一步研究其酸性质和催化性能打下了基础。

超稳丫沸石制备技术对沸石铝分布的影响 Ⅰ.两种典型超稳Y沸石表面-体相组成的XPS研究

用XPS考察了USY和FSY超稳Y型沸石及其起始原料NH_4Y沸石的表面组成,并结合Ar~+刻蚀技术与其体相组成进行了比较。结果表明,NH_4Y沸石的铝分布基本均匀一致,经超稳化处理后,沸石表面组成发生了很大的变化。用(NH_4)_2SiF_6液相脱铝补硅法制备的FSY表面呈缺铝特征,其表面铝原子浓度比体相低8～10％;而用传统水热法制备的USY具有典型的富铝表面,其表面铝原子浓度比体相高30％左右。USY表面富铝主要是由于USY“次表面”(Subsurface)附近的非骨架铝类迁移到表面所致。内层的非骨架铝类在常规水热超稳处理条件下一般则很难迁移,仍然留有在USY晶体内部。
