本文针对α-Al2O3有序介孔材料的导热特性开展分子动力学模拟分析.提出了一种保证电中性的孔道结构构造方法;采用逆非平衡分子动力学方法(muller-plathe法),选取Matsui势为作用势,模拟计算了Al2O3介孔晶体材料在不同环境温度下沿孔道轴向方向的热导率;并借助全面实验分析法,设计了模拟条件,以考察孔径和孔隙率对热导率的影响.模拟结果显示:介孔Al2O3热导率先随温度的升高呈上升趋势,并在200—400 K之间取得极值;而后在400—1400 K范围内,热导率随温度的升高几乎呈线性下降.孔隙率一定时,随孔径增大,介孔Al2O3材料比表面积降低,界面散射的抑制作用减弱,使材料热导率略有上升;孔径一定时,随孔隙率上升,孔道壁面声子数减少,材料热导率下降明显;相对于孔径因素,材料孔隙率对声子导热影响更大.     

Catalytic performance of grafted Al-MCM-41 in hydroisomerization of n-dodecane

Pt/Al-MCM-41 samples with constant metal loading but various Si/Al ratios were prepared by reacting pure silica MCM-41 with different concentrations of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) aqueous solutions. It is observed that the molar ratio of Si/Al decreases from 24.3 to 11.2 when increase the PAC concentration from 0.1 M to 2.0 M. A better retention of structural integrity could be seen when the PAC concentration is below 1.0 M. The Lewis acid increases while incorporating aluminum into the framework of MCM-41, while the Brönsted acid reaches a maximum value when the PAC concentration is 1.0 M. Hydroisomerization of n-dodecane was carried out over these Pt/Al-MCM-41 samples. It is demonstrated that increasing the aluminum content generally can trigger a higher n-dodecane conversion, but a lower isomers selectivity due to the increasing strong Brönsted acid sites. And the Pt/Al-MCM-41 post-synthesized by the PAC concentration at 1.0 M shows highest isomers selectivity and yield corresponding to the maximum medium Brönsted acid quantities (24.15 μmol/g).     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Influence of defects on the ordering degree of nanopores made from anodic aluminum oxide

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates with highly ordered nanoporous structure were fabricated by means of the electrochemical anodization under the constant anodic voltage and electrolyte temperature. The dependence of the ordering degree of nanopores on the point defects, dislocation configuration and grain boundary of aluminum is qualitatively analyzed. Experiment results show that the size of the ordered region of nanopores depends strongly on the point defects, dislocation cell configuration.     

Rapid sonochemical synthesis of MCM-41 type benzene-bridged periodic mesoporous organosilicas

Benzene-bridged periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) with the MCM-41 were synthesized by a rapid sonochemical process via co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl) benzene (BTEB) under basic conditions within a few minutes using cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTMABr) as a structure-directing agent. The molar ratio of the silicon precursors and the synthesis time were varied in order to investigate their influence on the structural ordering of the materials. The characteristics of the materials were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂-sorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The resultant materials exhibited well-ordered hexagonal mesostructures with surface areas in the range of 602–1237 m²/g, pore volumes of 0.37–0.68 cm³/g, and pore diameters in the range of 2.5–3.5 nm. Two dimensional ²⁹Si{¹H} heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) NMR spectra confirmed the formation of a single mesophase with various Q (from TEOS) and T (from BTEB) silicon species located randomly within the pore walls due to the co-condensation of BTEB and TEOS, which excluded the possibility of formation of island or two separate phases within such a short synthesis time. The prime advantage of the present synthesis route is that it can effectively reduce the total synthesis time from days to a few minutes, much shorter than the conventional benzene-bridged PMOs synthesis methods.     

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.     

Synthesis, characterization, and oxygen sensing properties of Ru(II) complex covalently grafted to mesoporous MCM-41

Novel oxygen sensing materials consisting of [Ru(Bphen)₂bpy]²⁺ (Bphen=4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, bpy=2,2′-bipyridyl) portion covalently grafted to the backbones of the ordered functionalized mesoporous MCM-41 are synthesized by co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and the functionalized Ru(II) complex [Ru(Bphen)₂Bpy-Si]²⁺ using surfactant cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTAB) as template. The Bpy-Si was used as not only one of the precursors of the sol-gel process but also the second ligand of Ru(Bphen)₂Cl₂·2H₂O complex to prepare the functionalized mesoporous materials for oxygen sensors. Dye leaching shortcoming is overcome due to the Si-C bonds. The derivative mesoporous oxygen sensing materials are characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXRD), luminescence intensity quenching Stern-Volmer plots, and excited-state decay analysis. The mesoporous materials show higher sensitivity to the O₂ concentration in N₂ (I₀/I₁₀₀=23.2) and shorter response time (1.2 s) in comparison with those based on sol-gel method. When the concentration of oxygen is 10%, the luminescence intensity of the oxygen sensor can be quenched by 89.9%, suggesting that it is highly sensing at low concentration of oxygen.     

Wide range humidity sensing of LiCl incorporated in mesoporous silica circular discs

Lithium chloride (LiCl) incorporated MCM-41 has been synthesised by sol-gel method using tetraethyl orthosilicate as a precursor in basic medium. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 wt% of LiCl were incorporated in mesoporous silica to investigate the humidity sensing. With increasing wt% of LiCl broadening of O–H peak is observed in the Fourier Transform Infrared spectra, indicating greater adsorption of hydroxyl groups on porous silica. The surface area of the MCM-41 circular discs was determined by Brunauer?Emmett?Teller (BET). Scanning electron microscopy images suggest that incorporation of LiCl leads to coalescence of grains in mesoporous silica. 25 wt% LiCl incorporated MCM-41 showed a wide range linear response of impedance change for 11%–90% RH exhibiting 3.5-order drop in impedance at a 1 kHz frequency. The Nyquist plots for all compositions showed increased ionic conduction with increasing relative humidity.
