Melting of Naphthalene Confined in Mesoporous Silica MCM-41

The ²H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) solid-echo spectra of naphthalene molecules as guests in the mesopores of neat MCM-41 with a pore width of 3.3 nm were measured in the temperature regime from 180 to 250 K. A strong reduction of the melting point of the naphthalene molecules by 152 K is observed. The line shape changes in the melting region were simulated with two different models, namely, the model of a narrow distribution of activation energies, which is typical for a crystal-like phase, and a two-phase model. Both models indicate a relatively narrow distribution of melting points of the naphthalene molecules inside the pores, indicative of a rather well-defined structure of the naphthalene molecules inside the pores. This finding supports the proposal of a plastic crystalline phase previously proposed by other groups.

Magnetism of iron-containing MCM-41 spheres

Iron species were loaded into the mesopores of MCM-41 spheres by incipient wetness impregnation procedure with Fe(ACAC)₃ as the precursor. The magnetism of the samples was studied by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), diffuse reflectance ultraviolet–visible (DRUV-vis) spectra and Mossbauer spectra.

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.

Optical Properties of Ag and Au Nanoparticles Dispersed within the Pores of Monolithic Mesoporous Silica

The optical absorption of silver and gold nanoparticles dispersed within the pores of monolithic mesoporous silica upon annealing at elevated temperatures has been investigated. With decreasing particle size, the surface plasmon resonance position of the particles blue-shifts first and then red-shifts for silver/silica samples, but only red-shifts for gold/silica samples. This size evolution of the resonance position is completely different from that previously reported for fully embedded particles. We assume a local porosity at the particle/matrix interface, such that free surface of particles within the pores may be in contact with ambient air, and present a two-layer core/shell model to calculate the optical properties. These calculations also consider deviations from the optical constants of bulk matter to account for corresponding effects below about 10 nm particle size. From the good agreement between experimental results and model calculations, we conclude a peculiar particle/ambience interaction dominating the size evolution of the resonance. Because of the difference of core electron structure, the relative importance of the effects of local porosity and free surface, respectively, are different for silver and gold. For silver, the effect of the local porosity is stronger, but for gold the opposite is found.

Oxidation of ferrocene molecules adsorbed in MCM-41

A mesoporous silica material MCM-41 was synthesized under two different conditions, and ferrocene molecules were adsorbed into one-dimensional pores formed in MCM-41. The pore sizes were determined to be 0.9 and 2.8 nm for the MCM-41 synthesized under an acidic and a basic condition, respectively. The formation of paramagnetic ferricinium ions was observed after the adsorption into pores by ESR, magnetic susceptibility and ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer measurements. Spin densities attributable to ferricinium ions in the pores are estimated to be 0.74 and 0.065 in MCM-41 synthesized under an acidic and a basic condition, respectively. It was shown that the oxidation of ferrocene molecules to ferricinium ions in MCM-41 prepared in an acid solution is faster than that in base at ambient temperature and pressure.     

Strong visible photoluminescence of TEEDPS-modified silica MCM-41 materials

The photoluminescence (PL) of mesoporous silica MCM-41 modified with triethoxy-3-ethylenediaminepropyl-silane (TEEDPS) has been investigated using UV-Vis fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy methods and thermogravimetry. Results suggest that the TEEDPS-modified MCM-41 has a greatly enhanced (by 20 times) PL intensity at 420 nm relative to that of TEEDPS, and this enhanced PL still remains even after post heat treatment at 180 °C under vacuum (yielding a sample MTV). Meanwhile, a strong PL band at 450 nm appeared in the sample MTV when excited at 380 nm. The TEEDPS-modified material could be partly oxidized at 180 °C in air (yielding a sample MTA); therefore obvious absorption was found up to about 600 nm. The interaction between this absorption and the vacancy-related emission resulted in the maximum of the emission bands of the sample MTA at around 515 nm when excited at 440 nm.

无机介孔材料MCM41是高有序,直孔道介孔分子筛,具有孔径约4nm的一维均匀孔道,孔壁厚约1nm,介孔体积可达40%,是一种很理想的组装材料主体。半导体碲位于第Ⅵ族,其六方相的晶格排列呈螺旋链状结构。本文采用固相合成反应方法,将单质半导体碲成功地组装在MCM41介孔分子筛中。在组装体中,单质半导体碲保持着六方相的晶体结构,其拉曼晶体振动表现出纳米晶体的结构特征。真空热处理实验表明,组装体具有良好的热稳定性。Te的六方相和所具有的独特的螺旋链状结构使Te分子很容易进入MCM41的直孔道内,同时MCM41均匀而规则的直孔道限制了Te螺旋链的随机排列,因而被组装在直孔道内的Te能螺旋链式生长,形成一维半导体纳米晶体,排列均匀,尺寸单一,具有稳定的空间构型     

Mesoporous silica (MCM-41) effect on (PEO + LiAsF6) solid polymer electrolyte

Composite polymer electrolyte films consisting of polyethylene oxide (PEO), LiAsF₆ and mesoporous silica (MCM-41) with fixed PEO/LiAsF₆ = 90/10 but different weight percent ratios of MCM-41 were prepared using the solution casting method. The polymer electrolyte films were characterized using XRD, DSC, SEM and electrical impedance spectroscopy. In corporation of MCM-41 in a (PEO + LiAsF₆) polymer electrolyte facilitates salt dissociation, enhances ion conductivity, and improves miscibility between organic and inorganic moieties. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs indicates the electrolytes are miscible and homogeneous up to 10 wt.% of MCM-41, and an optimized conductivity is found at this composition (10 wt.%). However, at higher weight ratios (>10 wt.%), the Li/MCM-41-rich domain developed, and the conductivity decreased with increasing mesoporous material. The electrochemical performance of fabricated electrochemical cells of configuration Li/(PEO + LiAsF₆ + MCM-41)/(MoO₃ + C + PTFE) were investigated.     

Theoretical studies of argon adsorption in MCM-41 mesoporous systems

Adsorption isotherms are predicted for spherical adsorbates in cylindrical channels of MCM-41 mesoporous materials over a wide range of temperatures by using the “fragment method”. This prediction shows that an equilibrium capillary condensation is impossible for pores with diameters smaller than 2.5 nm. The adsorbate distribution in relatively large pore channels was described by the quasi-chemical approximation (QCA) that takes into account direct pair correlations between interacting molecules. In order to improve the lattice-gas model in the vicinity of the critical point, a calibration function that takes into account information from the fragment method, was introduced into the QCA equations. The influence of the size factor of pores on argon adsorption isotherms was demonstrated.

A General Strategy to Encapsulate Semiconducting Polymers within PEGylated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Optical Imaging and Drug Delivery

Although semiconducting polymers (SPs) have become an important category for optical imaging and phototherapy, their biomedical application is still facing a number of challenges. Herein, a cationic surfactant–assisted approach to encapsulate hydrophobic SPs within highly PEGylated mesoporous silica (mSiO₂) nanoparticles with excellent colloidal stability and enhanced fluorescence in aqueous solution is reported. In comparison to the previously reported amphiphilic polymer coating and silification method, this universal strategy not only suppresses the formation of empty polymer micelles and free silica nanoparticles, but also provides high specific surface area for drug loading. As a proof of concept, furan-containing diketopyrrolopyrrole-based semiconducting polymers (PDFT) are coated with mesoporous silica and utilized for fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared region (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) and drug delivery. In vivo blood vessel imaging and tumor imaging are achieved with high resolution (0.21 mm) and signal-to-background ratio (≈4.2). Additionally, pH-responsive drug release and improved therapeutic effect are observed. By choosing desired SPs, different optical imaging and therapeutic modalities can also be achieved, thus the SP@mSiO₂ nanostructures obtained here provide numerous opportunities for theranostic applications.

Synthesis and characterization of MCM-41 decorated with CuO particles

CuO particles have decorated on the external surface of MCM-41 by in situ introducing cupric nitrate during the hydrothermal synthesis followed by the calcination. The textural and structural properties of CuO/MCM-41 are compared with those of pure MCM-41. The results show that CuO particles are about 40 nm in size and are not agglomerated. The addition of cupric nitrate to the synthesis gel leads to materials with somewhat reduced quality as evidenced from X-ray diffraction patterns and nitrogen adsorption measurements. CuO/MCM-41 is less ordered relative to pure MCM-41 and there are inter-aggregate pores resulting in a higher average pore diameter in the material. The formation of CuO particles on the external surface of MCM-41 and the possible reason for the less ordered structure of CuO/MCM-41 are also discussed in the present paper.
