Synthesis and characterization of ionic liquid-functionalized alumino-silicate MCM-41 hybrid mesoporous materials

Ionic liquid-functionalized alumino-silicate MCM-41 hybrid mesoporous materials have been synthesized with two-step approach, by means of in situ skeleton doping with aluminium and post surface grafting with N-methylimidazole ionic liquid groups. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), N₂ adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, ²⁷Al and ¹³C MAS NMR spectra and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of NH₃. The results indicated that the bifunctionalized MCM-41 possessed ordered mesostructure. Aluminium was efficiently introduced into the framework of the mesostructure, generating Lewis and Brönsted acid sites. N-methylimidazole ionic liquid groups were covalently grafted onto the surface of mesoporous materials. The as-synthesized bifunctional MCM-41 showed good catalytic performance in the coupling reaction of CO₂ and propylene oxide.

Synthesis of multi-wall carbon nanotubes by the pyrolysis of ethanol on Fe/MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves

Ordered hexagonal arrangement MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves were synthesized by the traditional hydrothermal method, and Fe-loaded MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves (Fe/MCM-41) were prepared by the wet impregnation method. Their mesoporous structures were testified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the N₂ physical adsorption technique. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method via the pyrolysis of ethanol at atmospheric pressure using Fe/MCM-41 as a catalytic template. The effect of different reaction temperatures ranging from 600 to 800 ^°C on the formation of CNTs was investigated. The resulting carbon materials were characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with an internal diameter of ca. 7.7 nm and an external diameter of ca. 16.9 nm were successfully obtained by the pyrolysis of ethanol at 800 ^°C utilizing Fe/MCM-41 as a catalytic template.     

Catalytic properties of mesoporous materials supported heteropoly acids for Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones

Three mesoporous molecular sieves loaded silicotungstic acids, named HSiW/SBA-15, HSiW/MCM-41, HSiW/MCM-48, were prepared and characterised by XRD, FT-IR, TEM and SEM. The catalytic performance of the prepared materials for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones was carried out in the presence of 30%H₂O₂ under mild conditions. These loading materials were proved to be efficient and reusable catalysts, they all exhibited excellent catalytic performance for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic ketones with 30% H₂O₂ as oxidant. Many cyclic ketones were efficiently converted to the corresponding lactones with up to 90% conversions and high selectivities under the optimum reaction conditions.

Effect of reaction parameters on the growth of MWCNTs using mesoporous Sb/MCM-41 by chemical vapour deposition

Mesoporous Si-MCM-41 molecular sieve was synthesized hydrothermally and different wt.% of Sb (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0) was loaded on it by wet impregnation method. The Sb/MCM-41 materials were characterized by various physico-chemical techniques such as XRD, TGA and TEM. The TEM image showed a honeycomb structure of the host material. They were used as catalytic templates for the growth of MWCNTs by CVD method with different temperatures at 700, 800, 900 and 1000 °C using acetylene as a carbon precursor. The reaction temperature was optimized for the better formation of MWCNTs and they were purified and then characterized by XRD, SEM, HR-TEM and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The formation of MWCNTs with diameter in the range of 4−6 nm was observed from HR-TEM. The good thermal stability and high productivity of catalyst observed in this study revealed that the 2 wt.% Sb loaded MCM-41 could be a promising support for the catalytic synthesis of MWCNTs at 800 °C by CVD method.     

Modification of functionalized mesoporous silica on the formation and the catalytic performance of platinum nanocatalysts

Several functionalized mesoporous silicas (MCM-41 and SBA-15 terminated with amino groups by multistep graft) are prepared and used as carriers for platinum nanoparticles. Modification of the grafted molecules is investigated on the component of the silicas and the formation of nanoparticles. Catalytic performance of the loaded platinum nanocatalysts is tested on selective hydrogenation of ortho-chloronitrobenzene (o-CNB). Results indicate that SBA-15 can be grafted with more amino groups than MCM-41. In most cases, small quantity of platinum precursor benefits the formation of small platinum nanoparticles on the functionalized silicas. The platinum nanocatalysts loaded on the one-step grafted silicas hold better catalytic activity and slightly lower selectivity to ortho-chloroaniline (o-CAN) than those loaded on the two-step grafted silicas. Besides the advantage of reuse, the loaded platinum catalysts on the functionalized silicas have similar catalytic property as the colloidal platinum nanocatalysts.     

Cu(II) recognition materials: Fluorophores grafted on mesoporous silica supports

There were designed and synthesized naphthalene and pyrene derivatives consisting of fluorophore group and of receptor fragment with donor N and O atoms. These fluorosensors were covalently attached by grafting carboxyl group to surfaces of silica xerogel or mesoporous silicas (MCM-41 and MCM-48) functionalized either with 3-aminopropyl or 3-glycidoxypropyl groups. The pyrene derivatives 2 and 3 covalently grafted on MCM-48 silica functionalized with 3-aminopropyl groups are potential recognition elements of a fluorescence chemical sensor.Fluorescence emission of the prepared recognition materials is quenched specifically owing to photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect after coordination reactions with Cu(II) ions. Moreover, both the materials exhibit selectivity for Cu(II) ions in aqueous solutions in presence of such metal ions as: alkali, alkaline earth and transition. During UV irradiation the studied recognition elements undergo slowly photochemical degradation.

Photophysical Properties of Lanthanide Hybrids Covalently Bonded To Functionalized MCM-41 by Modified Aromatic Carboxylic Acids

MCM-41 mesoporous silica has been functionalized with aromatic carboxylic acids salicylic acid (Sal) and 2-hydroxyl-3-methylbenzoic acid (HMBA) through co-condensation approach of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant as a template. Organic ligands salicylic acid or 2-hydroxyl-3-methylbenzoic acid grafted to the coupling agent 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl isocyanate (TEPIC) was used as the precursor for the preparation of an organic–inorganic hybrid materials. Novel organic–inorganic mesoporous luminescent hybrid containing Ln³⁺ (Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺) complexes covalently attached to the functionalized ordered mesoporous MCM-41, which were designated as Ln-Sal-MCM-41 and Ln-HMBA-MCM-41, respectively, were obtained by sol–gel process. The luminescence properties of these resulting materials were characterized in detail, and the results reveal that luminescent mesoporous materials have high surface area, uniformity in the mesopore structure and good crystallinity. Moreover, the mesoporous material covalently bonded Tb³⁺ complex (Tb-Sal-MCM-41 and Tb-HMBA-MCM-41) exhibit the stronger characteristic emission of Tb³⁺ and longer lifetime than the corresponding Eu-containg materials Eu-Sal-MCM-41 and Eu-HMBA-MCM-41 due to the triplet state energy of modified organic ligands Sal-TEPIC and HMBA-TEPIC match with the emissive energy level of Tb³⁺ very well. In addition, the luminescence lifetime and emission quantum efficiency of ⁵D₀ Eu³⁺ excited state also indicates the efficient intramolecular energy transfer process in Tb-SAL-MCM-41 and Tb-HMBA-MCM-41.     

Key factor affecting the structural and textural properties of ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite

ZSM-5/MCM-41 micro/mesoporous composite materials were synthesized by the hydrothermal technique with alkali-treated ZSM-5 zeolite as source of silica and aluminum and characterized by various physico-chemical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption at 77 K, transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), FTIR spectroscopy and NH₃ temperature programmed desorption (TPD) techniques. The effect of concentration of CTAB in the synthesis of these solids has been investigated, the mesopore volume, surface area and surface acidity decrease with increasing the concentration of CTAB. Increasing the CTAB concentration causes the recrystallization of zeolite ZSM-5 and it disadvantage the formation of mesoporous materials MCM-41. The catalytic activity of ZSM-5/MCM-41 materials has been evaluated in the Friedel–Crafts acylation of anisole with benzoyl chloride as alkylating agent. The results revealed the reaction to be influenced by surface area, pore volume and surface acidity.     

CuO based catalysts on modified acidic silica supports tested in the de-NOx reduction

A series of dispersed CuO catalysts supported on modified silica supports with Al2O3 (SA), TiO2 (ST), and ZrO2 (SZ) were prepared optimising the adsorption method of copper deposition assisted by ultrasound treatment, already reported in a previous paper (S. Bennici, A. Gervasini, V. Ragaini, Ultrason. Sonochem. 10 (2003) 61). The obtained catalysts were characterized in their bulk (atomic absorption, X-ray diffraction, temperature programmed reduction) and surface (N2 adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy) properties. The morphology of the finished materials was not deeply modified compared with that of the relevant supports. The employed complemented techniques evidenced a well dispersed CuO phase with a copper-support interaction on the most acidic supports (SA and SZ). The catalyst performances were studied in the reaction of selective catalytic reduction of NOx with ethene in oxidizing atmosphere in a flow apparatus under variable times (0.360-0.072 s) and temperatures (200-450 degrees C). The catalysts prepared on the most acidic supports (SA and SZ) were the most active and selective towards N2 formation. They showed a particular interesting activity in the reaction of NO2 reduction besides that of NO reduction.     

Effects of different Ti-doping methods on the structure of pure-silica MCM-41 mesoporous materials

Pure-silica mesoporous materials doped by titanium have been prepared by direct synthesis method and post-synthetic impregnation method. The effects of different Ti-doping methods on the structure of pure-silica mesoporous materials have been researched. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectrum and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms have been employed to characterize the products. It has been found that structural properties were strongly related to the amount and the way of titanium introduction. The mesoporous ordering of the samples that have been prepared by direct synthesis method and post-synthetic method became poor with the increasing of titanium amount. The XANES and EXAFS spectra confirmed that the titanium have been inserted into the framework of MCM-41. The titanium grafted in the Ti-MCM-41 in fourfold coordination, and the titanium doped in the Ti/MCM-41 in higher coordination sites.

Selective oxidation of CO in the presence of air over gold-based catalysts Au/TiO2/C (sonochemistry) and Au/TiO2/C (microwave)

Two model catalysts, Au/TiO2/C (S) (sonochemically derived) and Au/TiO2/C (M) (microwave derived), were produced by employing ultrasound irradiation and microwave irradiation, respectively. The deposition of gold colloids onto the support powders, TiO2/C, was accomplished by using a solvated metal atom impregnation (SMAI) method. The SMAI technique provides highly-dispersed gold particles on the TiO2/C support. The catalytic performance of Au based catalysts 1 wt% Au-TiO2/C (S) and 1 wt%Au-TiO2(M)/C (M) have been tested for the oxidation of CO in the temperature range of 0-300 degrees C and compared to that of 1 wt% Au-TiO2 (Degussa-P25). A boost in the conversion of CO was observed for the sonochemically-derived catalyst, Au/TiO2/C (S), at low temperature. Hence, the reactivity order found for CO oxidation is (Au/TiO2/C (S)>Au/TiO2 (P25)>Au/TiO2/C (M)).

Sonocatalytic performance of Tb7O12/TiO2 composite under ultrasonic irradiation

A Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) composite was successfully synthesized through a hydrolysis-calcination process. The Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) composite catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption/reflection spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The heterogeneous sonocatalytic oxidation of amaranth in water, containing dispersed pure TiO(2) and Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) composite, was investigated under ultrasonic irradiation. The activity of the Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) catalyst is higher than that of pure TiO(2) during the sonodegradation of amaranth. The enhanced sonocatalytic activity of the composite may be attributed to the increase in charge separation efficiency and the presence of surface acidity.     

Mesoporous material grafted with luminescent molecules for the design of selective metal ion chemosensor

Luminescent Schiff-base groups have been successfully grafted on the surface of mesoporous material MCM-48. The grafted Schiff-base groups were employed to prepare luminescent Schiff-base-Zn complex that was covalently bound to the MCM-48 surface. These luminescent mesoporous materials were characterized with X-ray, UV-VIS and emission spectroscopic methods. Experimental results demonstrated that MCM-48 modified with functional groups exhibited novel luminescent property. The chemosensing property of modified MCM-48 sample was investigated. It was demonstrated that the fluorescence of MCM-48 solid with Schiff-base groups could be completely quenched by Cu²⁺ cation and this mesoporous material was suitable for sensing Cu²⁺ cation in aqueous media.     

Ag2S nanoparticle encapsulated in mesoporous material nanoparticles and its application for photocatalytic degradation of dye in aqueous solution

Semiconductor loaded mesoporous materials in general possess greater photocatalytic activity than pure semiconductors. Hence, with an attempt to achieve higher photocatalytic activity, Ag₂S/MCM-41 photocatalysts were prepared by ion exchange method and used for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue. The materials were characterized by different analytical techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and BET (Brunauer-Emmert-Teller) experiments. The effect of Ag₂S, MCM-41 support and different wt% of Ag₂S over the support on the photocatalytic degradation and influence of parameters such as Ag₂S loading, catalyst a mount, pH and initial concentration of dye on degradation are evaluated. The degradation reaction follows pseudo-first order kinetics. It was seen that 0.6 g/L of photocatalyst is an optimum value for the dosage of photocatalyst. The degradation efficiency was decreased in dye concentration above 3.2 ppm for dye.
