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.     

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.     

Immobilization of naringinase on mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 and its application to debittering of white grapefruit

Naringinase was bound to mesoporous silica MCM-41 via adsorption with glutaraldehyde and used to debitter white grapefruit. K_m value of the immobilized naringinase was lower than that of free naringinase. The immobilized catalysts showed excellent thermal stability and storage stability and could be recycled 6 times retained about 44.57% activities. The unaltered structural order of the prepared catalyst was characterized with reference to bulky and surface properties by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms analysis.     

Iron Uniform-Size Nanoparticles Dispersed on MCM-41 Used as Hydrocarbon Synthesis Catalyst

We have synthesized mesoporous MCM-41 and have used it as a support for iron particles to be employed as a catalyst in the Fischer–Tropsch reaction. The solids were characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, BET, TGA, CO chemisorption and volumetric oxidation. Although the catalyst showed a high CO conversion when it was used in the hydrocarbon synthesis from CO and H₂ (14.3% at 1 h of reaction time) mainly methane was formed. The high methane production is likely related to the very small size of the metal particles obtained. We suggest some ways to improve the selectivity.     

Applicability of classical methods of pore size analysis for MCM-41 and SBA-15 silicas

Two most popular ordered mesoporous silicas, MCM-41 and SBA-15, exhibiting uniform mesopores of approximately cylindrical shapes, have been used as model adsorbents for verification, improvement and/or development of adsorption-based methods for characterization nanoporous materials. While the applicability of the classical methods for pore size analysis was widely examined by employing MCM-41 materials, the large-pore materials such as SBA-15 did not find adequate usage for this type of studies. The current work addresses the issue of applicability of classical methods such as Barrett-Joyner-Hallenda (BJH) and Broekhoff-de Boer (BdB) methods for pore size analysis of mesoporous silicas by using MCM-41 and SBA-15 materials as model adsorbents. In addition, the Kruk-Jaroniec-Sayari (KJS) method, which is based on the BJH algorithm and experimental relations for the pore width and statistical film thickness, is discussed too. While the MCM-41 materials cover the range of small mesopores (about 2-7 nm), the inclusion of SBA-15 materials allowed us to examine the range of the pore diameters up to about 12 nm. The high quality MCM-41 and SBA-15 samples are used to discuss the applicability and limitations of the aforementioned characterization methods and to propose some recommendations for pore size analysis of these materials.     

Characterization of mesoporous VOx/MCM-41 composite materials obtained via post-synthesis impregnation

Spherical-particle MCM-41 was synthesized at room temperature, and, then, impregnated with aqueous solutions of NH₄VO₃ to produce variously loaded VO_x/MCM-41 composite materials. Bulk and surface properties of the materials thus produced were characterized by means of X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N₂ sorptiometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results obtained indicated that subsequent calcination at 550 °C (for 2 h) of the blank and impregnated MCM-41 particles, results in materials assuming the same bulk structure of MCM-41, and exposing uniformly mesporous, high area surfaces (P_w = 2.0-2.3 nm; 974-829 m²/g), except for the material obtained at 20 wt%-V₂O₅ that was shown to suffer a considerable loss on surface area (down to 503 m²/g). XPS results implied that the immobilization of the VO_x species occurs via interaction with surface OH/H₂O groups of MCM-41, leading to the formation of vanadate (VO₃⁻) surface species, as well as minor V-O-Si and V₂O₅-like species. However, in all cases, the vanadium sites remained pentavalent and exposed on the surface.     

Effects of NiTiO3 nanoparticles supported by mesoporous MCM-41 on photoreduction of methylene blue under UV and visible light irradiation

In this work, we report the synthesis of nickel titanate nanoparticles loaded on nanomesoporous MCM-41 nanoparticles to determine the effect of MCM-41 nanoparticles on the photocatalytic activities of nickel titanate (NiTiO₃) nanoparticles by using simple solid-state dispersion (SSD) method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) analysis were used to characterize the size and morphology of the obtained nanocomposite. The photocatalytic activity (PA) of the as-prepared NiTiO₃ loaded on MCM-41 was evaluated by degradation of the methylene blue under irradiation of UV and visible light. The results showed that NiTiO₃ loaded on nanosize MCM-41 has higher photocatalytic activity than that of NiTiO₃ nanoparticles.

乙烷在中孔分子筛MCM-41中吸附的计算机分子模拟

采用计算机模拟方法研究不同温度下乙烷在不同孔径的MCM-41中的吸附.其中乙烷分子采用两个LJ中心的势模型表征，乙烷分子与MCM-41孔壁的相互作用采用一个连续的势模型表示.除考察了温度、孔径对吸附量的影响外，还研究这些量对乙烷分子在孔中的甲基和质心的分布，以及它们对乙烷分子在孔中的排列方向的影响.GCMC模拟结果发现，在180K和300K时壁面处都有较多的乙烷分子倾向于沿着壁面排列，同时在180K时其余的流体分子倾向于垂直于壁面排列，而在300K时其余的分子并不像在180K时一样倾向于垂直于壁面排列.模拟结果还表明，除壁面附近外，即使是在180K的较低温度下，乙烷分子的排列也是混乱和无序的.     

Synthesis and characterization of a hexagonal mesoporous silica with enhanced thermal and hydrothermal stabilities

A synthetic route was developed for a novel hexagonal mesoporous silica that has remarkably wide channel diameters and thick walls. The procedure involved the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in a water/ethanol/isopropoanol solvent mixture while employing 1-hexadecylamine as a templating agent and mesitylene as an auxiliary agent. After removal of the template by either extraction with ethanolic hydrochloric acid or by calcination at 550 °C, the resulting mesoporous materials had surface areas of 1283 and 1211 m²/g. The channel diameters were found to be 47.2-51.1 Å, while the wall thicknesses were 20.9-21.1 Å. X-ray powder diffraction demonstrated that the novel mesoporous silica belonged to the MCM-41 structural family. Notably, they displayed higher thermal and hydrothermal stabilities, and have higher surface areas than conventionally prepared MCM-41 silica. The thickest channel walls (21.1 Å) can withstand calcination to nearly 850 °C with minimal structural damage. The calcined sample was more resistant to hydrothermal treatment in boiling water than was the solvent-extracted product but both materials showed minimal change after 25 h of hydrothermal treatment.     

载体MCM-41对Tb(aspirin)3phen发光性能的影响

在室温下,乙二胺环境中合成了高度有序的介孔材料MCM-41,并将经热处理的发光客体Tb(aspi-rin)3phen组装进其孔道,通过激发发射光谱对其光致发光性能进行了研究。结果表明,Tb(aspirin)3phen240～375 nm区间的宽激发峰归属于配体aspirin羰基n→π*跃迁、苯环π→π*跃迁,和phen的杂菲基团吸收,Tb3 的特征发射是由于Antenna效应引起的。相对于纯Tb(aspirin)3phen,Tb(aspirin)3phen-MCM-41B和Tb(aspirin)3phen/MCM-41A的激发谱带出现了明显的分裂,而Tb(aspirin)3phen-MCM-41A只在353nm处剩下了相对较窄的单峰。Tb(aspirin)3phen-MCM-41B,Tb(aspirin)3phen/MCM-41A和Tb(aspirin)3phen-MCM-41A的短波段激发峰依次减弱消失,长波段激发峰逐渐增强,而405 nm发射峰强度IL和544 nm发射峰强度ILn的比值I(I=IL/ILn)依次减小。MCM-41骨架与Tb(aspirin)3phen成键后,不同程度降低了配体aspirin和phen单重态S1和三重态T1能级,且对phen的影响大于aspirin。不同的MCM-41表面晶格场对配体能级的影响顺序为:MCM-41B外表面>MCM-41A外表面>MCM-41A内表面。I值可定性表示MCM-41表面晶格场对配体能级影响程度和MCM-41表面Tb(aspirin)3phen的含量。

超声波对合成介孔材料Al-MCM-41的有序度的影响

在超声频率为20 kHz,电功率为500 W的超声波作用下,分别以Al（NO₃）₃和Al₂ （SO₄）₃做铝源合成了具有不同Si/Al比的Al-MCM-41。XRD结果显示,尽管超声波作用下,掺杂杂原子Al也要降低介孔材料的有序度,但其有序度降低的程度比普通水热法要小,超声波的辅助可以在同样反应时间内得到比普通水热法具有更高有序度的Al-MCM-41,即在掺杂过程中,超声波要比普通搅拌有利于介孔材料保持其骨架稳定性。此外考察了超声波作用时间对产品有序度和粒度的影响。     

Comparative studies of Zr-based MCM-41 and MCM-48 mesoporous molecular sieves: Synthesis and physicochemical properties

Two surfactant-templated synthetic routes are developed for the preparation of new types of mesoporous molecular sieves, Zr-MCM-41 and Zr-MCM-48, using different Si sources but keeping the same zirconium precursor (zirconium-n-propoxide). When fumed silica was used as Si precursor, a Zr-MCM-48 material of cubic structure was formed with a surface area of 654.8 m²/g and an unimodal pore diameter distribution. It shows low stability: after calcination at 600 °C, the ordered structure was transformed into a relatively disordered worm-like mesostructure with many defects and silanol groups. The use of tetraethyl orthosilicate as Si source led to the formation of a Zr-MCM-41 mesoporous solid, which had good thermal stability and a highly ordered hexagonal arrangement, with a surface area 677.9 m²/g and an uniform pore diameter distribution. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) characterization and ²⁹Si NMR analysis confirm that zirconium ions indeed incorporated into the framework of the solid. The in situ FT-IR spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption reveals that both, Lewis and Brönsted acid sites, were formed on the surface of these mesoporous materials. The strength and number of the Brönsted acid sites of the Zr-MCM-48 solid were greater than those of the Zr-MCM-41, due to a lower degree of condensation reaction during the synthesis that led to more structural defects in the framework and more silanol groups stretching from the solid surface.     

Adsorption of argon and nitrogen in cylindrical pores of MCM-41 materials: application of density functional theory

Adsorption of argon and nitrogen at their respective boiling points in cylindrical pores of MCM-41 type silica-like adsorbents is studied by means of a non-local density functional theory (NLDFT), which is modified to deal with amorphous solids. By matching the theoretical results of the pore filling pressure versus pore diameter against the experimental data, we arrive at a conclusion that the adsorption branch (rather than desorption) corresponds to the true thermodynamic equilibrium. If this is accepted, we derive the optimal values for the solid-fluid molecular parameters for the system amorphous silica-Ar and amorphous silica-N₂, and at the same time we could derive reliably the specific surface area of non-porous and mesoporous silica-like adsorbents, without a recourse to the BET method. This method is then logically extended to describe the local adsorption isotherms of argon and nitrogen in silica-like pores, which are then used as the bases (kernel) to determine the pore size distribution. We test this with a number of adsorption isotherms on the MCM-41 samples, and the results are quite realistic and in excellent agreement with the XRD results, justifying the approach adopted in this paper.     

Optical properties of (nanometer MCM-41)-(malachite green) composite materials

Nanosized materials loaded with organic dyes are of interest with respect to novel optical applications. The optical properties of malachite green (MG) in MCM-41 are considerably influenced by the limited nanoporous channels of nanometer MCM-41. Nanometer MCM-41 was synthesized by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the source of silica and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB) as the template. The liquid-phase grafting method has been employed for incorporation of the malachite green molecules into the channels of nanometer MCM-41. A comparative study has been carried out on the adsorption of the malachite green into modified MCM-41 and unmodified MCM-41. The modified MCM-41 was synthesized using a silylation reagent, trimethychlorosilane (TMSCl), which functionalized the surface of nanometer MCM-41 for proper host-guest interaction. The prepared (nanometer MCM-41)-MG samples have been studied by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption technique at 77 K, Raman spectra and luminescence studies. In the prepared (nanometer MCM-41)-MG composite materials, the frameworks of the host molecular sieve were kept intact and the MG located inside the pores of MCM-41. Compared with the MG, it is found that the prepared composite materials perform a considerable luminescence. The excitation and emission spectra of MG in both modified MCM-41 and unmodified MCM-41 were examined to explore the structural effects on the optical properties of MG. The results of luminescence spectra indicated that the MG molecules existed in monomer form within MCM-41. However, the luminescent intensity of MG incorporated in the modified MCM-41 are higher than that of MG encapsulated in unmodified MCM-41, which may be due to the anchored methyl groups on the channels of the nanometer MCM-41 and the strong host-guest interactions. The steric effect from the pore size of the host materials is significant. Raman spectra firmly demonstrated the stable form obtained after the MG incorporation into the nanometer MCM-41. Therefore, nanometer MCM-41 appears to have a good potential for its use as a support for dyes and the (nanometer MCM-41)-MG composite materials may give a wide optical application.     

Preparation, characterization, and luminescence properties of novel hybrid material containing europium(III) complex covalently bonded to MCM-41

In this paper, a novel luminescent organic-inorganic hybrid material containing covalently bonded ternary europium complex in mesoporous silica MCM-41 has been successfully prepared by co-condensation of tetrethoxysilane (TEOS) and the modified ligand 2-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phen-3-(triethoxysilyl)propylcarbamate (PIP-Si) in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant as template. PIP-Si containing 1,10-phenanthroline covalently grafted to 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate is used not only as a precursor but also as the second ligand for Eu(TTA)₃·2H₂O (TTA: 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetate) complex to prepare a novel functionalized mesoporous material. The resulted mesoporous composite materials, which demonstrate strong characteristic emission lines of Eu³⁺⁵D₀-⁷F_J (J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4), were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), small-angle X-ray diffraction, excited-state decay analysis. Emission intensity of the Eu(III) complex covalently linked to MCM-41 (Eu-MCM-41) increases with the increasing irradiation time, demonstrating better photostability compared with both pure Eu(III) complex and physically incorporated sample.     

Quantification of the Number of Silanol Groups in Silicalite and Mesoporous MCM-41: Use of Ft-Raman Spectroscopy

Infrared and FT-Raman spectra have been obtained on pyridine adsorbed within two siliceous materials, silicalite and MCM-41. Both spectroscopic techniques detect the presence of weak physisorbed pyridine and stronger hydrogen-bonded pyridine. In particular, the FT-Raman spectra are well resolved and can be used to measure the number of pyridine molecules that interact with hydroxyl groups. for silicalite, it is found that an average of one pyridine molecule per unit cell interacts with hydroxyl groups. the number of hydroxyl groups present at the surface of porous silica materials can also be obtained using this approach. for siliceous MCM-41, it is found that the hydroxyl group concentration is about 3 mmol/g of dry solid.
