在强酸性介质中,以预先制备的β沸石纳米簇作为前驱体,通过S＋X－I＋路线及氨水热后处理步骤合成具有强酸性位的高水热稳定性介孔分子筛.XRD、氮气吸附、HRTEM和SEM分析表明所得样品具有普通MCM-41的典型介孔结构和表观形貌.较短的组装周期和室温的组装条件减弱了脱铝效应,27Al MAS NMR表明铝元素主要以四配位状态存在于介孔分子筛骨架中.采用NH3-TPD和水热老化方法分别考察了其固体酸性和水热稳定性,结果表明此介孔分子筛相对于普通MCM-41分子筛具有较强酸性位和较高的水热稳定性.沸石纳米簇的引入提高了分子筛骨架的聚合度和孔壁的厚度,是水热稳定性提高的主要原因.

介孔分子筛MCM-41在催化、吸附分离以及化学组装制备先进材料等方面具有潜在的巨大应用价值,但MCM-41的低水热稳定性使其在催化研究领域中的应用受到了极大的限制。因此,提高介孔分子筛的水热稳定性具有十分重要的科研和实际应用意义。笔者对介孔分子筛MCM-41低水热稳定性的原因作了简要分析,并系统地介绍了近几年来在提高介孔分子筛水热稳定性方面的研究工作。

介孔分子筛研究新进展

介孔分子筛材料作为催化剂或催化剂载体为有机大分子参与反应提供了有利的空间构型和择形活性中心，在石油加工工业中具有潜在的应用优势。但由于介孔分子筛材料的水热稳定性比较低，且酸性较弱，极大地影响了其在催化领域中的广泛应用。本文综述了近年硅基介孔分子筛的改性研究进展，重点讨论了在提高介孔分子筛酸性和水热稳定性方面的研究工作。     

以微孔β沸石为硅铝源合成强酸性介孔分子筛

以微孔β沸石为硅铝源,通过碱处理和以十六烷基三甲基溴化铵为模板剂,合成了具有较强酸性的六方结构介孔分子筛材料B-MCM-41,并采用XRD、N₂吸附脱附、FT-IR、²7Al MAS NMR、HRTEM和水热处理等手段对其进行了结构表征,采用NH₃-TPD对其进行了酸性表征。实验结果表明,B-MCM-41具有明显强于常规介孔分子筛的酸性,且在C⁺₁0混合芳烃加氢脱烷基化反应中表现出了良好的催化性能。这主要是由于碱溶液将β沸石降解为沸石结构单元,在表面活性剂作用下五元环次级结构单元被引入了介孔铝硅酸盐B-MCM-41的结构。     

形貌可控的微孔-介孔硅磷铝酸盐在大分子催化裂化中具有较高的催化活性

目前,随着世界原油资源的日趋重质化,催化裂化工艺已经成为石油加工过程中重油的轻质化和渣油裂解的重要方法.但是如何提高催化裂化转化率和小分子烯烃的选择性是目前催化裂化工艺研究的重要课题,而催化裂化的关键是催化剂.重质油大分子催化裂化时存在的问题是由于传统的微孔分子筛只具有单一的1nm以下的微孔孔道,而重油大分子通常较大、分子链较长,很难进入到微孔孔道中充分反应,因此传统微孔分子筛对重油大分子的反应极为不利.以MCM-41为代表的介孔分子筛具有较大的孔道直径(1.5～10nm),在催化裂化炼油工业中具有潜在的应用前景,但其较弱的酸性和较差的水热稳定性无法满足裂化过程对催化剂酸性和水热稳定性的要求,因此限制了介孔分子筛在工业催化领域中的应用.微孔-介孔复合分子筛具有微孔和介孔双模型孔分布,结合了介孔分子筛的孔道优势与微孔分子筛强酸性和高水热稳定性的优势,可使两种材料优势互补、协同作用,在大分子催化与吸附方面具有潜在的应用前景,受到分子筛化学家的广泛关注.前人主要对硅铝基微孔-介孔复合分子筛进行了大量的研究,本文将传统的硅铝基微孔-介孔复合分子筛扩展到了硅磷铝基微孔-介孔复合分子筛.在酸性室温条件下,通过两步路线合成了一种新颖且形貌可控的微孔-介孔硅磷铝酸盐MUS-5,考察了不同pH值条件下MUS-5形貌的变化,并借助X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)、N2吸附-脱附、NH3-TPD等技术对其物相、形貌、结构及酸性进行了表征.研究结果表明:当溶液体系的pH值在2.0到5.0之间变化时,可以得到三种不同形貌(包括链状、花状、桶状)的MUS-5,且MUS-5均是由微孔SAPO-5相和介孔MCM-41相组成的.同时,对MUS-5复合材料的水热稳定性进行了研究,经过100℃水热条件下处理48h后,发现MUS-5结构中的介孔相依然存在,表明该材料具有较好的水热稳定性.最后,采用1,3,5-三异丙基苯作为探针分子评价了MUS-5催化剂的裂化性能,并在相同反应条件下与微孔SAPO-5催化剂进行了比较.催化评价结果显示:MUS-5的裂化性能远远高于微孔SAPO-5分子筛.其原因主要是由于MUS-5具有微孔和介孔双模型孔分布,结合了介孔相MCM-41的孔道优势与微孔相SAPO-5强酸性的优势,致使其催化性能大大提高.说明这种具有微孔-介孔孔道结构的硅磷铝酸盐MUS-5在大分子裂化方面应用前景广阔.     

微孔/介孔复合分子筛的合成及其对CO2的吸附性能

X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和氮气吸附-脱附表征结果表明产物具有微孔/介孔多级孔结构. 该材料对CO₂的吸附能力比纯微孔或介孔材料均有明显提高, 其中P-ZSM-MCM41(2)的CO₂吸附容量最大可达1.51 mmol·g^-1, 为ZSM-5沸石吸附量的两倍多.     

介孔沸石材料

介孔沸石材料是含有丰富介孔的结晶沸石,不仅保留了沸石材料优良的酸性和水热稳定性,而且由于介孔的引入改善了其对大分子的吸附和扩散性能,在催化领域特别是涉及大分子的催化反应中是极有应用前景的材料。本文综述了介孔沸石材料的制备方法并进行了比较分析,概述了近年来介孔沸石材料在不同催化反应中的应用,探讨了介孔沸石材料今后的研究方向。     

Synthesis, characterization, and catalytic properties of stable mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 prepared from zeolite mordenite

Mesoporous molecular sieves (denoted as M-MCM-41) with ordered hexagonal structure have been successfully synthesized from the assembly of precursors from preformed zeolite Mordenite with CTAB surfactant micelle in alkaline media. The samples were characterized by XRD, N₂ adsorption, IR and DTG. The materials exhibit highly hydrothermal stability, as compared with conventional MCM-41. Characterization results indicate that the mesoporous walls of M-MCM-41 contain the secondary building units similar to those in microporous crystal of zeolite Mordenite. In catalytic dealkylation of C10⁺ aromatic hydrocarbon, M-MCM-41 shows higher activities in comparison with Mordenite and MCM-41, which would be ascribed to the combination of advantages of both MCM-41 (large pores) and Mordenite (strong acidity). Furthermore, this synthesis strategy could be used as a new general method for the preparation of hydrothermally stable mesoporous aluminosilicate materials under alkaline conditions.     

Hydrothermally Stable and Catalytically Active Ordered Mesoporous Materials Assembled from Preformed Zeolite Nanoclusters

Microporous zeolites are widely used commercial catalysts, but their applications are intrinsically limited by their small channel diameters. Recent progress in solving this is used to ordered mesoporous materials such as MCM-41, HMS and SBA-15. These mesoporous materials have pore diameters of 30–60 Å and exhibit catalytic properties for the catalytic conversion of bulky reactants, but unfortunately, when compared with microporous zeolites, the catalytic activity and hydrothermal stability are relatively low, which severely hinders their practical applications. The relatively low catalytic activity and hydrothermal stability can be attributed to the amorphous nature of the mesoporous walls. We review here that the assembly of preformed zeolite precursors with surfactants can synthesize a series of ordered mesoporous materials, which include (1) strongly acidic and hydrothermally stable mesoporous aluminosilicates synthesized in alkaline media; (2) strongly acidic and hydrothermally stable mesoporous aluminosilicates synthesized in strongly acidic media; (3) hydrothermally stable mesoporous titanosilicates with catalytically active titanium species in oxidations; (4) hydrothermally stable mesoporous ferrisilicates. This work would open a door for the industrial application of mesoporous materials as catalysts for large molecules.     

Catalytic benzene alkylation over mesoporous zeolite single crystals: improving activity and selectivity with a new family of porous materials

Mesoporous zeolite single-crystal catalysts are shown to be both more active and more selective than conventional zeolite catalysts in the alkylation of benzene with ethene. The superior catalytic properties are ascribed to improved mass transport in the mesoporous zeolite crystals. Thus, mesoporous zeolite single-crystal catalysts combine the high acidity, shape-selectivity, and hydrothermal stability of zeolites with the efficient mass transport that is typically achieved in mesoporous materials.

ZSM‐5 Zeolite Nanosheets with Improved Catalytic Activity Synthesized Using a New Class of Structure‐Directing Agents

A new series of multiquaternary ammonium structure‐directing agents, based on 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, was prepared. ZSM‐5 zeolites with nanosheet morphology (10 nm crystal thickness) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using multiquaternary ammonium surfactants as the zeolite structure‐generating agents. Both wide‐angle and small‐angle diffraction patterns were obtained using only a suitable structure‐directing agent under a specific zeolite synthesis composition. A mechanism of zeolite formation is proposed based on the results obtained from various physicochemical characterizations. ZSM‐5 materials were investigated in catalytic reactions requiring medium to strong acidity, which are important for the synthesis of a wide range of industrially important fine and specialty chemicals. The catalytic activity of ZSM‐5 materials was compared with that of the conventional ZSM‐5 and amorphous mesoporous aluminosilicate Al‐MCM‐41. The synthesis strategy of the present investigation using the new series of structure‐directing agents could be extended for the synthesis of other related zeolites or other porous materials in the future. Zeolite with a structural feature as small as the size of a unit cell (5–10 nm) with hierarchically ordered porous structure would be very promising for catalysis.     

Materials with Nanoscale Porosity: Energy and Environmental Applications

In this personal account, several key inventions on designing novel microporous and mesoporous materials, and their applications in energy and environmental research are reviewed. Although, crystalline materials with sub‐nanometer pore size regime like zeolites, AlPOs, MOFs, ZIFs etc. are known over the years, silicious and non‐silicious mesoporous materials have revolutionized the research on the materials with nanoscale porosity in last two and half decades. A wide range of inorganic, organic‐inorganic hybrid as well as purely organic mesoporous materials with either periodic or disordered mesopores are known. Apart from conventional hydrothermal syntheses involving soft templating route, hard templating, evaporation induced self‐assembly (EISA), electrochemical or solvothermal (using hydrophilic solvents) synthetic routes are often employed in designing a large spectrum of mesoporous materials. Ease of synthesis using available cheap raw chemicals and versatility in the framework compositions together with the unique surface properties like exceptionally high surface area, pore volume and tunability in pore dimensions have made these materials very exciting to a wide range of researchers working on materials chemistry. Nanoscale porosity in the semiconductor nanomaterials is highly beneficial for the photocatalytic, optoelectronic and related light‐harvesting applications. Their high chemical stability has been explored intensively in designing novel heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of biofuels from biomass or CO₂ fixation to reactive organic molecules for the synthesis of fine chemicals and fuels, which has a large impact on energy and environmental research for the years to come. Diversity in mesoporous frameworks and their potential applications related to light harvesting, generation of renewable energy and synthesis of value added fine chemicals and fuels through environment friendly routes are mostly focused in this review.
