Synthesis of mesoporous silicas of controlled pore wall thickness and their replication to ordered nanoporous carbons with various pore diameters

A synthesis strategy for the systematic control of the pore wall thickness has been developed for the mesoporous silicas with 2-D hexagonal order using ionic and nonionic surfactant mixtures. The mesoporous silicas have been used as templates for the synthesis of 2-D hexagonally ordered mesoporous carbons with controlled pore diameters. The synthesis strategy and results are useful not only for tailoring the properties of the mesoporous materials but also for extending our insights into the synthesis mechanism.     

Metamorphosis of ordered mesopores to micropores: periodic silica with unprecedented loading of pendant reactive organic groups transforms to periodic microporous silica with tailorable pore size

Ordered porous silicas with unprecedented loadings of pendant vinyl groups have been synthesized via co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and triethoxyvinylsilane (TEVS) under basic conditions in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium surfactant. The resulting organosilicate-surfactant composites exhibited at least one low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak up to the TEVS:TEOS molar ratio of 7:3 (70% TEVS loading) in the synthesis gel. The surfactant was removed from these composites without any structural collapse. Nitrogen adsorption provided strong evidence of the presence of uniformly sized pores and the lack of phase separation up to TEVS:TEOS ratios as high as 13:7 (65% TEVS loading), whereas (29)Si MAS NMR and high-resolution thermogravimetry showed essentially quantitative incorporation of the organosilane. Thus, a hitherto unachieved loading level for pendant groups, considered by many to be impossible to achieve for stable organosilicas because of the expected framework connectivity constraints, has been obtained. The resulting vinyl-functionalized silicas exhibited gradually decreasing pore diameter (from 2.8 to 1.7 nm for TEVS loadings of 25-65%) and pore volume as the loading of pendant groups increased, but the specific surface area was relatively constant. Because of the reactivity of vinyl groups, ordered silicas with very high loadings of these groups are expected to be robust starting materials for the synthesis of other organic-functionalized ordered microporous materials. Herein, we demonstrate that these starting materials can also be transformed via calcination into ordered microporous silicas with pore diameters tailorable from 2.5 to as little as 1.4 nm simply by using an appropriate loading of the vinyl-functionalized precursor. This ease of the micropore size adjustment and the attained degree of structural ordering (as judged from XRD) have not been reported before. The novel ordered microporous materials reported herein are promising as adsorbents and catalyst supports.     

Periodic hexagonal mesostructured chalcogenides based on platinum and [SnSe4]4- and [SnTe4]4- precursors. Solvent dependence of nanopore and wall organization

Mesostructured chalcogenide-based materials with long-range order and semiconducting properties can be prepared using suitable molecular building blocks, linkage metal ions and surfactant molecules. In this paper we present surfactant templated, open framework platinum tin selenide and telluride materials assembled using K4SnQ4 (Q = Se, Te) salts and K2PtCl4 as precursors and a study of pore and wall organization. We find that materials prepared in water exhibit disordered pore organization, whereas those prepared in formamide are long-range ordered with hexagonal symmetry. In formamide the [SnQ4]4- anions undergo condensation-oligomerization reactions that produce different chalcogenido molecular species, whereas in water the anions remain intact. In addition to solvent, the pore organization and overall quality of the mesostructured materials strongly depend on the surfactant molecules, i.e., chain length and headgroup size. For example, highly ordered mesostructured platinum tin selenides with hexagonal symmetry were obtained using the hydroxyl-functionalized surfactants CnH2n+1N(CH3)(CH2CH2OH)2Br (n = 16, 18, and 20), but when the headgroup was triethylammonium, hexagonal pore order was achieved only for n = 20 and not for n = 16 and 18. The experimental results imply that in order to achieve highly ordered chalcogenide frameworks a single building anionic block might be insufficient. Finally, we also report the first examples of hexagonal mesostructured Pt/Sn/Te materials based on K4SnTe4 as the precursor. The tellurides behave differently for their selenium analogues and have very low energy band gaps, in the range 0.5-0.7 eV.     

Three-dimensional low symmetry mesoporous silica structures templated from tetra-headgroup rigid bolaform quaternary ammonium surfactant

Two kinds of highly ordered mesoporous silica materials (FDU-11, FDU-13) with novel three-dimensional (3-D) tetragonal and orthorhombic structures were synthesized by using tetra-headgroup rigid bolaform quaternary ammonium surfactant [(CH(3))(3)NCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)N(CH(3))(2)CH(2)(CH(2))(11)OC(6)H(4)C(6)H(4)O(CH(2))(11)CH(2)N(CH(3))(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)N(CH(3))(3).4Br] (C(3-12-12)(-)(3)) as a template under alkaline conditions. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) show that mesoporous silica FDU-11 has primitive tetragonal P4/mmm structure with cell parameters a = b = 8.46 nm, c = 5.22 nm, and c/a ratio = 0.617. N(2) sorption isotherms show that calcined FDU-11 has a high BET surface area of approximately 1490 m(2)/g, a uniform pore size of approximately 2.72 nm, and a pore volume of approximately 1.88 cm(3)/g. Mesoporous silica FDU-13 has primitive orthorhombic Pmmm structure. The cell parameters are a = 9.81, b = 5.67, and c = 3.66 nm. N(2) sorption isotherms show that calcined FDU-13 has a high BET surface area of 1210 m(2)/g, a uniform mesopore size of approximately 1.76 nm, and a large pore volume of approximately 1.83 cm(3)/g. Such low symmetries for 3-D mesostructures (tetragonal and orthorhombic system) have not been observed before even in amphiphilic liquid crystals, which maybe resulted from an oblate aggregation of the bolaform surfactant and its strong electrostatic interaction with inorganic precursor. A probable mechanism has been proposed for the formation of such a 3-D low symmetrical mesostructure. These results will further extend the synthesis of mesoporous materials and may open up new opportunities for their new applications in catalysis, separation, and nanoscience.     

Synthesis of mesoporous carbons using ordered and disordered mesoporous silica templates and polyacrylonitrile as carbon precursor

Mesoporous carbons were synthesized from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) using ordered and disordered mesoporous silica templates and were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption, and thermogravimetry. The pores of the silica templates were infiltrated with carbon precursor (PAN) via polymerization of acrylonitrile from initiation sites chemically bonded to the silica surface. This polymerization method is expected to allow for a uniform filling of the template with PAN and to minimize the introduction of nontemplated PAN, thus mitigating the formation of nontemplated carbon. PAN was stabilized by heating to 573 K under air and carbonized under N2 at 1073 K. The resulting carbons exhibited high total pore volumes (1.5-1.8 cm3 g(-1)), with a primary contribution of the mesopore volume and with relatively low microporosity. The carbons synthesized using mesoporous templates with a 2-dimensional hexagonal structure (SBA-15 silica) and a face-centered cubic structure (FDU-1 silica) exhibited narrow pore size distributions (PSDs), whereas the carbon synthesized using disordered silica gel template had broader PSD. TEM showed that the SBA-15-templated carbon was composed of arrays of long, straight, or curved nanorods aligned in 2-D hexagonal arrays. The carbon replica of FDU-1 silica appeared to be composed of ordered arrays of spheres. XRD provided evidence of some degree of ordering of graphene sheets in the carbon frameworks. Elemental analysis showed that the carbons contain an appreciable amount of nitrogen. The use of our novel infiltration method and PAN as a carbon precursor allowed us to obtain ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) with (i) very high mesopore volume, (ii) low microporosity, (iii) low secondary mesoporosity, (iv) large pore diameter (8-12 nm), and (v) semi-graphitic framework, which represent a desirable combination of features that has not been realized before for OMCs.     

Synthesis of high surface area Al-containing mesoporous silica from calcined and acid leached kaolinites as the precursors

Al-containing mesoporous silicas were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of microporous silica prepared by selectively acid leached metakaolinites with Si/Al = 3.9-92.5 mixed with a surfactant of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr). The specific surface area of the products increased with higher surfactant/microporous silica (surf/Si) ratio and Si/Al ratio of the microporous silica, reaching about 1400 m2/g at CTABr/Si 0.1 and Si/Al 40. The XRD patterns of these products show a hexagonal (100) peak with the lattice parameter a0=4.2-4.3 nm and the N2 adsorption isotherms show steep increase of adsorption between relative pressure of 0.3 and 0.4. Hexagonal mesoporous microstructure is observed by high resolution TEM. The pore size distributions of the products show a sharp peak at 2.8 nm by the BJH method. The high specific surface area of the present mesoporous samples is attributed to the lower matrix density and surface roughness of mesopore wall. The highest specific surface area of the products reached up to 1420 m2/g and this value is apparently higher than those reported in hexagonal mesoporous silicas. A unique microporous structure of the starting material is thought to be related to achieve such a high specific surface area of the products.

Pore size engineering in mesoporous silicas using supercritical CO2

In this paper we investigate the use of supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO(2)) for synthesizing calcined mesoporous silicas with tunable pore sizes, wall thickness, and d spacings. Small angle neutron scattering was used to probe the controlled swelling of the triblock copolymer surfactant templating agents, P123 (PEO(20)PPO(69)PEO(20)), P85 (PEO(26)PPO(39)PEO(26)), and F127 (PEO(106)PPO(70)PEO(106)), as a function of CO(2) pressure. The transition from the liquid crystal phase to the calcined mesoporous silicas, formed upon condensation and drying, was also studied in detail. Powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption techniques were used to establish pore diameters, silica wall widths, and the hexagonal packing of the pores within the calcined silicas. Using a direct templating method, the diameters of mesopores and the spacing between the pores could be tuned with a high level of precision. The swelling process was observed to have no detrimental effects on the quality of silica formed, a distinct advantage over conventional swelling techniques, and all of the silicas synthesized in this study were highly ordered over distances of at least 2000 A.

Effect of pore packing defects in 2-d ordered mesoporous carbons on ionic transport

Ordered mesoporous materials show great importance in energy, environmental, and chemical engineering. The diffusion of guest species in mesoporous networks plays an important role in these applications, especially for energy storage, such as supercapacitors based on ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs). The ion diffusion behavior in two different 2-D hexagonal OMCs was investigated by using cyclic voltametry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In addition, transmission electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen cryosorption methods were used to study the pore structure variations of these two OMCs. It was found that, for the OMC with defective pore channels (termed as pore packing defects), the gravimetric capacitance was greatly decayed when the voltage scan rate was increased. The experimental results suggest that, for the ion diffusion in 2-D hexagonal OMCs with similar mesopore size distribution, the pore packing defect is a dominant dynamic factor.     

Supercritical carbon dioxide processing of fluorinated surfactant templated mesoporous silica thin films

The effect of processing mesoporous silica thin films with supercritical CO2 immediately after casting is investigated, with a goal of using the penetration of CO2 molecules in the tails of fluorinated surfactant templates to tailor the final pore size. Well-ordered films with two-dimensional hexagonal close-packed pore structure are synthesized using a cationic fluorinated surfactant, 1-(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl)pyridinium chloride, as a templating agent. Hexagonal mesopore structures are obtained for both unprocessed films and after processing the cast films in CO2 at constant pressure (69-172 bar) and temperature (25-45 degrees C) for 72 h, followed by traditional heat treatment steps. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis reveal significant increases in pore size for all CO2-treated thin films (final pore diameter up to 4.22 +/- 0.14 nm) relative to the unprocessed sample (final pore diameter of 2.21 +/- 0.20 nm) before surfactant extraction. Similar pore sizes are obtained with liquid and supercritical fluid treatments over the range of conditions tested. These results demonstrate that combining the tunable solvent strength of compressed and supercritical CO2 with the "CO2-philic" nature of fluorinated tails allows one to use CO2 processing to control the pore size in ordered mesoporous silica films.     

A family of ordered mesoporous carbons derived from mesophase pitch using ordered mesoporous silicas as templates

A variety of ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were synthesized using ordered mesoporous silicas (OMSs) as hard templates and the mesophase pitch (MP) as a carbon precursor. The synthesis included the mixing of OMS with MP, the infiltration of OMS with MP at 450–550?°C and the carbonization of MP in OMS/MP composite followed by the dissolution of the OMS template. OMCs with structures of two-dimensional hexagonal arrays of nanorods and three-dimensional arrays of nanospheres were obtained through the replication of silica templates, including large-pore SBA-15, KIT-6, large-pore FDU-12 and SBA-16. In particular, 2-D hexagonal array of carbon nanorods (CMK-3 carbon) with (100) interplanar spacing of ～13 nm as well as an array of carbon nanospheres arranged in the face-centered cubic structure with the unit-cell parameter of 33 nm were successfully prepared. The specific surface areas of the resulting carbons were up to 400 m²/g, and the total pore volumes were up to 0.43 cm³/g, with the highest values achieved when the MP infiltration temperature was 500?°C. The OMCs exhibited narrow mesopore size distributions. As inferred from XRD, the frameworks of OMCs featured semi-graphitic structures even though moderate carbonization temperature (850?°C) was employed.     

A "teardown" method to create large mesotunnels on the pore walls of ordered mesoporous silica

A "teardown" method to create large mesotunnels (approximately 9 nm) on the pore walls of ordered mesoporous silicas is demonstrated by digesting the organic constituents from polymer-silicate nanocomposites. The ordered mesostructured polymer-silicate composites were first obtained via the evaporation-induced triconstituent co-assembly method by using a low-molecular-weight phenolic resin (resols) as an organic precursor; prehydrolyzed TEOS as an inorganic precursor, and triblock copolymer F127 as a template. All of organic components including F127 and phenolic resins are removed by the microwave digestion (MWD) method from mesostructured polymer-silica composites. While the removal of triblock copolymer F127 generates main pore channels, the phenolic resins can also be torn down from the pore walls, yielding mesotunnels between the channels. The resulting silica products exhibit ordered 2-D hexagonal mesostructure, large pore volume (up to 1.92 cm(3)/g), and very large pore size (up to 22.9 nm), which is even larger than their mesostructural cell parameter (14.2 nm). TEM images confirm the existence of mesotunnels on the silica pore walls. FT-IR and (29)Si solid-state NMR results reveal that these silica products have a large number of silanol groups.     

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.

Sorption and diffusion of phenols onto well-defined ordered nanoporous monolithic silicas

The sorption of phenol, and o-, m-, and p-aminophenol (o-, m-, and p-AP) onto highly ordered mesoporous silicas (HOM) with cubic Im3m (HOM-1), hexagonal H(I) (HOM-2), 3-D hexagonal p6(3)/mmc (HOM-3), cubic Ia3d (HOM-5), lamellar L( infinity ) (HOM-6), and solid phase S (HOM-8) materials has been investigated kinetically. Nanostructured silica molecular sieves have been prepared at 25 and 60 degrees C with lyotropic liquid-crystalline phases of the nonionic surfactant (Brij 76) that was used as a structure-directing agent. Such nanostructured silicas have been studied by 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (29Si NMR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method for nitrogen adsorption and surface area measurements, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques after synthesis and sorption. It was found that all materials exhibit well-defined long-range porous architectures without significant loss of the ordered texture during phenol sorption. The kinetics of phenol sorption has been studied spectrophotometrically at different temperatures (25-40 degrees C; +/-0.1 range). The sorption rate is zero order in all phenols sorbed, and increases directly in the pattern P >m-AP > o-AP > p-AP, which reflects the mobility of the phenol compounds on the particle pores. The isothermal sorption and the kinetic parameters were discussed and it was established that a diffusion-controlled process characterizes phenol sorption. Furthermore, the mechanism of phenol sorption was deduced to be predominantly particle diffusion. The diffusion coefficients were determined using Fick's equation. The trend of diffusion of all phenols onto nanoporous silica was HOM-8 > HOM-2 > HOM-6 > HOM-5 > HOM-1 > HOM-3, reflecting the effect of the uniform pore size distribution and the internal surface area of the nanostructured silicas on the diffusion process.     

Surfactant effects on the physical properties of mesoporous silica and silicates

Mesostructured silicas and silicates have been synthesized using hydrogels with molar composition: M:26.0SiO₂:5.2(C₂H₅)₄NOH:7.5[CH₃(CH₂)₁₅N(CH₃)₃]₂O:790H₂O, where M=0, Zr(OC₃H₇)₄ or Ti(OC₄H₉)₄. In all preparations, colloidal silica (Ludox) was used as the source of silica. The hydrothermal transformation at 110°C of these gels produced solids with the hexagonal structure typical of MCM-41 type materials. The effects of chain length and surfactant terminal alkyl groups on the properties of mesoporous materials containing Ti or Zr, have been investigated by using different surfactants such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and chloride, cetyl dimethyl ethyl ammonium bromide, and myristyl trimethyl ammonium bromide. When the surfactant's carbonyl chain decreased to 14 from 16 carbon atoms, a reduction in unit cell dimension and average pore diameter was observed in the mesoporous silicas, titaniumsilicates and zirconiumsilicates under study. Replacement of methyl groups with ethyl groups on the surfactant hydrophobic head, had no measurable effects on crystals' properties. However, a surfactant with a bulky aromatic head group, such as cetyl pyridinium chloride, inhibited crystallization. In general, the use of bromide in place of chloride salts yielded more ordered MCM-41 type crystals. The high thermal stability (to 800°C), surface area (1000–1500 m²/g), pore volume (0.90–1.20 cm³/g) and uniform mesoporosity (with pore diameter in the 2.9 nm–3.6 nm range), of these metalsilicates could be of particular interest in the preparation of catalysts requiring siliceous metal supports.
