Preliminary Synthesis and Characterization of Mesoporous Nanocrystalline Zirconia

A novel method to prepare mesoporous nano-zirconia was developed. The synthesis was carried out in the presence of PEO surfactants via a solid-state reaction. The materials exhibit a strong diffraction peak at low 28 angle and their nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms are typical of type IV with H1 hysteresis loops. The pore structure imaged by TEM can be described as wormhole domains. The tetragonal zirconia nanocrystals are uniform in size (around 1.5 nm) and their mesopores focus on around 4.6 nm. The zirconia nanocrystal growth is tentatively postulated to be the result of an aggregation mechanism. This study also reveals that the PEO surfactants can interact with the Zr-O-Zr framework to reinforce the thermal stability of zirconia. The ratio of NaOH to ZrOC12, crystallization and calcination temperature play an important role in the synthesis of mesoporous nano-zirconia.

Mesoporous,hollow Zn O microspheres were synthesized via a hydrothermal method,using glycerol and zinc acetate as the starting materials.XRD and FESEM analysis showed that the surface morphology of the spheres with a Wurtzite structure could be reasonably adjusted by varying the weight ratio(Rw) of Zn(CH3COO)2 2H2O:H2O:C3H8O3.The responses of the gas sensor based on the spheres to 100 ppm ethanol and 100 ppm acetone are 18.9 and 10.4,respectively.The response and recovery times of the sensor to ethanol and acetone are 2 s and 3 s,3 s and 5 s,respectively.The hollow spheres show an intense UV emission at 392 nm and a broad blue-green emission at 488 nm.Interestingly,a light trapping phenomenon is revealed by UV emission and scattering measurements on the microspheres,which can be attributed to the mesoporous shell and hollow structure of the microsphere.

Synthesis of Mesoporous Cu-Mn-Al_2O_3 Materials and Their Applications to Preferential Catalytic Oxidation of CO in a Hydrogen-rich Stream

A series of mesoporous Cu-Mn-Al2O3(CMA) materials was synthesized at moderate temperature and their structures were characterized by XRD, N2 physical adsorption and TPR techniques. It was found that using metal complex ion[Cu(NH3) 42+-Mn(NH3)62+] as raw materials is easier to form good-structure mesoporous Cu-Mn-Al2O3 materials than using its nitrate salt [Cu(NO3)2-Mn(NO3)2]. The TPR tests results indicate that CuO and MnOx were homogeneously dispersed in the mesoporous materials. Their catalytic application to preferential catalytic oxidation of CO in a hydrogen-rich stream was studied. The activity varies in the order of CMA(1:1, molar ratio) CMA(1:2)CMA(2:1)CMA(CP)CMA(1:0)≈CMA(0:1). The CMA(1:0) and CMA(0:1) have lower activity compared to other samples, implying that there existed coordination effect between Cu-Mn in the samples. The selectivity varied in the order of CMA(0:1)≥CMA(1:2)CMA(1:1)CMA(2:1)CMA(1:0) at higher temperature (≥120 °C), indicating that increasing the Cu content enhanced the conversion of H2. The sample CMA(CP) made by coprecipitation method has a lower CO oxidation activity and selectivity than its counter-parts of mesoporous Cu-Mn-Al2O3 materials[CMA(1:2)], this attributed to the lower surface area of the former and poor interaction of CuO with MnOx.
