Preparation of functional ordered mesoporous carbons and their application as the QCM sensor with ultra-low humidity

Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMCs) FDU-15 was synthesized through an EISA (Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly) method, and the oxidized OMCs (FDU-15-COOH) were obtained by subsequent oxidation treatments in liquid phase to introduce functional groups. The samples were characterized by XRD, TEM, FT-IR and nitrogen adsorption-desorption test. The low humidity sensing performances of FDU-15 and FDU-15-COOH thin films were investigated by using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) transducer. The responses of FDU-15-COOH is higher than that of the pristine FDU-15 at very low humidity (< 729 ppm_v) with high long-term stability, implying that FDU-15-COOH is a good candidate for low humidity QCM sensor.     

Syntheses of ordered mesoporous silica by new hybrid template

Ordered mesoporous silica with macroscopic shape has been prepared with a hybrid template of gel and poly(ethylene oxide)₁₀₆–poly(propylene oxide)₇₀–poly(ethylene oxide)₁₀₆ (pluronic F127) surfactant, where both water-soluble agar gel and pluronic F127 significantly affect the mesoporous structure and morphology of silica. The thermal analysis revealed the noticeable interaction between agar and F127, which contributes to the formation of homogenous hybrid template. In the hybrid template, agar gel contributed to the maintenance of morphology structure, while F127 was responsible for the formation of ordered porous structure in silica solids.     

Preparation of amino-functionalized mesoporous silica thin films with highly ordered large pore structures

Highly ordered amino-functionalized mesoporous silica thin films have been directly synthesized by co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) in the presence of triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 surfactant species under acidic conditions by sol-gel dip-coating. The effect of the sol aging on thin films organization is systematically studied, and the optimal sol aging time is obtained. The amino-functionalized mesoporous silica thin films exhibit a long-range ordering of 2D hexagonal (p6mm) mesostructure with a large pore size of 8.3 nm, a large Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area of 680 m² g⁻¹ and a large pore volume of 1.06 cm³ g⁻¹ following surfactant extraction as demonstrated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and physical adsorption techniques. Based on BET surface area and weight loss, the surface coverage of amino-groups for the amino-functionalized mesoporous silica thin films is calculated to be 3.2 amino-groups per nm². Moreover, the functionalized thin films display improved properties for immobilization of cytochrome c in comparison with pure-silica mesoporous thin films.

Uniform hierarchical silica film with perpendicular macroporous channels and accessible ordered mesopores for biomolecule separation

Herein, we demonstrate that silica films with perpendicular macroporous channels and accessible ordered mesopores can be conveniently prepared. The hierarchical macroporous–mesoporous silica films are synthesized by using zinc oxide nanorod array as macroporous template and CTAB surfactant as mesoporous template. In basic surfactant-containing solution, ordered mesoporous silica shells homogeneously grow on the zinc oxide nanorod array. The growth of the mesostructures do not require any chemical modification for the zinc oxide nanorod, which opens a new way for preparing hierarchical silica films with perpendicular mesochannels. The prepared hierarchical macroporous–mesoporous silica films possess a uniform thickness of 2 mm, large perpendicular macropores with a length of 1.8 mm and a width of 80 nm, and accessible ordered mesopores. Separation experiment demonstrates that this macroporous–mesoporous film can effectively separate biomolecules with different sizes.     

Preparation and characterisation of amorphous mesoporous aluminophosphate and metal aluminophosphate as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for transesterification reaction

Preparation, characterisation of pure aluminophosphate and aluminophosphate modified with different transition metals (V, Fe, Co Ni & Cu) and their catalytic activity in mono/dibenzyl substituted malonates synthesis are explained. The materials were prepared by the coprecipitation method in the absence of any structure-directing species and characterized for their composition, crystalline nature, total surface acidity, specific surface area pore diameter and pore volume by different techniques. Catalytic activity of the materials was investigated in transesterification of diethylmalonate with benzyl alcohol in liquid phase. Pure aluminophosphate resulted only in benzyl ethylmalonate whereas the incorporation of transition metals favored the formation of both benzyl ethylmalonate and dibenzylmalonate. Catalytic activity parallels the surface acidity and mesoporosity of the catalysts. The effect of the molar ratio of reactants, amount of catalyst, and reaction time on the conversion of diethyl malonate and transester yield has been studied. The highest activity of iron aluminophosphate is attributed to its mesoporous nature with uniform pore size distribution, higher surface acidity and surface area. Further, the scope and generality of iron aluminophosphate as a catalyst in the transesterification was studied using various aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic alcohols. The catalysts could be recycled by retaining most of its initial activity.     

尺寸可控、高热稳定性有序介孔碳Au催化剂的合成

纳米Au催化剂被认为是具有商业价值的用于醇选择氧化的第二代催化剂.这是因为Au氧化还原电势高,化学稳定性好,可抑制易使Pt族元素中毒的胺等的毒化;其次,对于一些特定选择氧化和还原反应而言,具有较优的反应选择性.目前较多的研究集中在调变Au纳米颗粒与氧化物载体的相互作用,获得协同效应.例如,利用CeO2纳米晶为载体,沉积Au纳米颗粒(约3 nm),使CeO2部分还原为非计量比的催化材料,活化氧并获得高选择氧化性能.碳是相对惰性的载体,与Au相互作用力弱,因此可被用于研究Au纳米颗粒本征催化性能.但负载碳金催化剂在焙烧甚至还原过程中易团聚,且在反应中易流失,可能导致活性下降.利用胶体沉积法可获得介孔碳担载纳米Au催化剂,对葡萄糖选择氧化具有很高的催化活性和选择性.但是,制备中使用的保护剂残留经常被忽略.由于立体效应或电子结构调变作用,保护剂可能影响Au催化剂活性或稳定性.我们前期建立了反应单体参与的自组装技术合成功能化介孔碳路线,一步在介孔碳骨架中掺杂氧化物纳米催化剂.本文从介孔催化材料的结构出发,设计“镶嵌”在碳骨架中的纳米Au颗粒.采用配位作用辅助表面活性剂自组装技术,以苯酚和甲醛为碳前体,引入含巯基硅烷偶联剂,通过配位作用稳定金离子,获得尺寸可控介孔碳限域纳米Au催化剂.低温炭化中,由于巯基-金的配位作用阻抑金属移动或团聚,高温下聚合物炭化为相对刚性的碳骨架.此时,Au纳米颗粒被相邻介孔孔墙限制.硅烷偶联剂可除去,不影响碳载体,并可产生丰富二级孔道,获得多级孔道介孔碳材料.X射线衍射和透射电镜结果显示,所合成的催化剂中Au颗粒的尺寸可控,为3-18nm,且具有单分散性,均匀地分散在整个介孔碳骨架中,其含量为1.1-9.0 wt％.金碳催化剂具有有序的二维六方介孔结构.能量散射谱(EDX)也证明了催化剂只含有C,O和Au元素,没有S和Si元素的残留.X射线光电子能谱(XPS)结果显示催化剂表面的Au含量远远低于ICP的测试结果,也证明了Au纳米颗粒分布在介孔碳骨架内,同时只含有C,O和Au元素也与EDX相符.X射线近边吸收谱结果表明,随着颗粒尺寸的减小,Au表面电子性质发生改变.N2吸脱附等温线显示,有序介孔碳金催化剂具有典型的第Ⅳ型曲线,说明孔径分布范围较窄,主孔道尺寸为3.4-5.7 nm.值得注意的是,低压力段吸附量显示明显突跃,暗示其具有一套约为2 nm的次级介孔.所有的催化剂都具有高的比表面积(1269-1743 m2/g)和大的孔体积(0.79-1.38 cm3/g).Au纳米颗粒具有高的热稳定性,在惰性气氛中,即使在600℃也未见明显聚集长大.进一步讨论了合成中影响金纳米颗粒尺寸的重要影响因素.(1)巯基含量:通过调节巯基组分的含量,可以调控催化剂中Au纳米颗粒的尺寸(9-18 nm).需要强调的是,Au纳米颗粒尺寸与巯基在新合成材料中的浓度有关,当巯基含量在所研究的范围中时(1.55-3.06 mmol/g),Au纳米颗粒尺寸仅仅与巯基浓度有关,而与Au浓度无关.(2)硫酸预炭化处理:新合成的材料经过一步硫酸预炭化处理,可以得到尺寸为3 nm的有序介孔碳金催化剂.表征结果证明,经过硫酸预碳化处理,大量表面活性剂被除去,同时聚合物载体发生部分碳化,有助于在后续高温炭化中保护3 nm金颗粒不团聚.尺寸可控、高热稳定性、无配体保护的有序介孔碳负载Au催化剂有望应用在催化和传感器等领域.     

CTAB-assisted fabrication of mesoporous composite consisting of wormlike aluminosilicate shell and ordered MSU-S core

Novel mesoporous composites comprised of aluminosilicate shell with wormhole framework structure and well-ordered MSU-S core have been firstly prepared via treatment of MSU-S with NaAlO₂ solution in the presence of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The obtained products were thoroughly characterized by XRD, HRTEM, N₂ sorption isotherm, TG-DSC, ²⁷Al MAS NMR and ²⁹Si MAS NMR, etc. Characterization results based on these techniques revealed that the introduction of CTAB during the treatment process played a crucial role in the formation of mesoporous composite, otherwise the parent ordered MSU-S would be completely destroyed. Furthermore, aluminum content in the final product determined by ICP and EDAX was significantly increased compared to the parent MSU-S, thus assuming that CTAB added in this modification process led a key role in the introduction of Al into the final solid via self-assembly with additionally added AlO₂⁻ and partly dissolved silicate species from the parent MSU-S particles. In addition, acidity and catalytic performance of the prepared mesoporous composite were also substantially improved in comparison to the parent MSU-S sample.     

Preparation, phase transformation and photocatalytic activities of cerium-doped mesoporous titania nanoparticles

Cerium-doped mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles with high surface area and thermal stable anatase wall were synthesized via hydrothermal process in a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/Ti(SO₄)₂/Ce(NO₃)₄/H₂O system. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, FTIR spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and DRS spectra. Experimental results indicated that the doping of cerium not only increased the surface area of mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles, but also inhibited the mesopores collapse and the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation. Moreover, the undoped, doped anatase mesoporous nanoparticles exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than commercial photocatalyst (Degussa, P25), but the maximum photodegradation rate corresponds to the undoped mesoporous TiO₂ nanoparticles. The lower photocatalytic activities of cerium-doped samples compared with undoped one may be ascribed to that the doped cerium partially blocks titania's surface sites available for the photodegradation and absorption of Rhodamine B (RB).     

Preparation and characterization of mesoporous tetragonal sulfated zirconia

A phase transformation from monoclinic sulfated zirconia to tetragonal sulfated zirconia is observed.The product shows strong acidi...     

Adsorption of xylene isomers on ordered hexagonal mesoporous FDU-15 polymer and carbon materials

The oil industry has been facing the challenges of separation of xylene isomers, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene or removing them from the environment. In our present work, we investigated the adsorption of the three isomers on two mesoporous materials, FDU-15-350 polymer and FDU-15-900 carbon materials. The isomer adsorption capacities are well correlated with their physical pore properties. It is found that the micropores are very crucial for the adsorption of these three isomers. The more micropore volume the adsorbent has, the better the adsorption capacity is. Henry’s constants were also calculated for the three isomers on the two adsorbents. Both on FDU-15-350 polymer and FDU-15-900, the Henry’s constants for the three isomers show the same trend o>m>p xylene which is coincidently in accordance with their polarity trend, indicating more polar adsorbate is preferred for adsorption on the two adsorbents. The isosteric heats of adsorption are correlated with the microporosity and the size of the adsorbate molecule. More microporosity and smaller molecules give higher heats of adsorption. Extracted information on pore properties of adsorbents by using the three isomers has very similar results as that resolved from nitrogen adsorption, indicating the feasibility of using the three isomers as adsorbates to extract pore information. This work is devoted to commemorating the 60th birthday of Professor Mieczyslaw (Mietek) Jaroniec.

以三嵌段共聚物P123为有机模板导向剂、正硅酸乙酯TEOS为无机硅源, 在HCl存在的强酸性环境下, 采用水热法合成了有序介孔分子筛SBA-15. 采用XRD、SEM、TEM、N2吸附-脱附等手段对产物的结构与形貌进行了分析, 考察了HCl用量对有序介孔材料结构及形貌的影响. 结果表明, 在合成有序介孔氧化硅时, HCl发挥了催化和中间离子的双重作用, 促使棒状胶束形成六方有序排列, 降低SBA-15中微孔的数量, 而且对合成有序介孔氧化硅SBA-15的形貌有显著影响. 适宜的HCl用量对形成“珍珠链状”形貌的、热稳定性优良的SBA-15介孔材料具有重要作用.     

纳米Ni/SiO2介孔复合体的制备与超顺磁性

采用溶胶—凝胶法制备了含Ni2+的SiO2干凝胶,再通过化学还原得到了纳米Ni/SiO2介孔复合体。从样品的透射电子显微镜观测结果可估算出,介孔复合体中Ni粒子的尺寸约为11～12 nm。样品的磁性测量结果表明,与通常的Ni纳米颗粒相比,纳米Ni/SiO2介孔复合体中纳米Ni粒子的粒径在大于理论计算的纳米Ni粒子的临界尺寸时,仍能够保持超顺磁状态。在一定温度范围内,提高还原温度有利于复合体中纳米Ni粒子向超顺磁状态转变。     

三维有序介孔二氧化锰制备及其甲醛催化氧化性能

空气中的甲醛主要来源于化工、建材、涂料、装潢材料以及机动车尾气.甲醛具有光化学活性,对人体具有致癌致畸作用.高浓度甲醛对人体健康和空气环境危害极大,室内低浓度甲醛对人体也有很大伤害.因此,消除室内、机动车尾气以及工业生产过程中的甲醛非常必要.目前,去除甲醛的方法主要有吸附法、光催化法和催化燃烧法.其中,催化燃烧法具有去除效率高、起燃温度低、适用范围广、设备操作简单以及无二次污染等优点,因而非常适用于去除高浓度和低浓度甲醛.该方法的核心是催化剂的制备和筛选.近年来,用于甲醛催化燃烧的催化剂主要是负载型贵金属和金属氧化物.由于贵金属催化剂成本较高,所以金属氧化物催化剂备受关注.MnO2种类繁多,既包括人工合成的棒状、线状、管状、球状和孔状等形貌,还包括自然界存在的α,β,γ和δ等类型.其中,介孔MnO2因具有较大的比表面积和特殊的孔道而应用于乙醇、甲苯、苯等挥发性有机物的催化氧化反应.目前,尚未见三维(3D)有序介孔MnO2催化氧化甲醛的报道.本文以合成的3D有序介孔KIT-6分子筛为硬模板剂,采用纳米浇筑法制备出3D有序介孔MnO2材料.为了比较,采用水热法合成了α-MnO2和p-MnO2纳米棒.采用X射线粉末衍射、N2吸附-脱附、透射电子显微镜和X射线能谱(XPS)等方法对催化剂进行了表征.在微型固定床石英管反应器上评价了催化剂催化甲醛氧化活性,采用气相色谱(GC)联接热导检测器(TCD)和质谱检测器(MSD)检测产物和反应物的含量.表征结果表明,3D-MnO2复制了KIT-6硬模板的三维有序立方对称介孔结构(ia3d),且具有金红石型β-MnO2晶相,属软锰矿,具有较大的比表面积和双孔分布介孔结构,最大孔径分别位于3.7和11.4nm处.3D-MnO2样品具有清晰的孔道结构,而α-MnO2和p-MnO2纳米棒为无孔的一维纳米单晶材料.另外,3D-MnO2表面暴露了较多的(110)晶面,有利于增加表面Mn4+离子.XPS结果证实3D-MnO2表面存在较多的Mn4+离子,这些Mn4+离子为甲醛催化反应提供了丰富的活性位,有利于提高甲醛氧化活性.评价结果表明,3D-MnO2具有良好的低温催化性能,于130℃即可将甲醛完全转化成CO2和H2O;而在同样条件下,α-MnO2纳米棒和β-MnO2纳米棒分别在140和180℃才能完全转化甲醛.3D-MnO2具有良好的甲醛催化性能主要归因于特殊的介孔结构、较大的比表面积和较多的表面Mn4+离子.     

Synthesis and textural evolution of alumina particles with mesoporous structures

Alumina particles with mesostructures were synthesized through a chemical precipitation method by using different inorganic aluminum salts followed by a heterogeneous azeotropic distillation and calcination process. The obtained mesoporous γ-alumina particles were systematically characterized by the X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement. Effects of the aluminum salt counter anion, pH value and the azeotropic distillation process on the structural or textural evolution of alumina particles were investigated. It is found that Cl⁻ in the reaction solution can restrain the textural evolution of the resultant precipitates into two-dimensional crystallized pseudoboehmite lamellae during the heterogeneous azeotropic distillation, and then transformed into γ-Al₂O₃ particles with mesostructures after further calcination at 1173 K, whereas coexisting SO₄²⁻ can promote above morphology evolution and then transformed into γ-Al₂O₃ nanofibers after calcination at 1173 K. Moreover nearly all materials retain relatively high specific surface areas larger than 100 m² g⁻¹ even after calcinations at 1173 K.     

Electrochemistry and biosensing of glucose oxidase based on mesoporous carbons with different spatially ordered dimensions

A strategy of protein entrapment within mesoporous carbon matrices is demonstrated to probe the electrochemistry of glucose oxidase. Large surface area and remarkable electro-catalytic properties of carbon mesoporous materials make them suitable candidates for high loading of protein molecules and the promotion of heterogeneous electron transfer. In this work, two kinds of mesoporous carbon nanocomposite films were designed and prepared with highly ordered two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) structures for the immobilization of glucose oxidase, in which the quasi-reversible electron transfer of the redox enzyme was probed, and the apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants () are 3.9 and 4.2 s⁻¹, respectively. Furthermore, the associated biocatalytic activity was also revealed. Highly ordered 3D-mesoporous carbon material exhibited larger adsorption capacity for glucose oxidase and the immobilized enzymes retained a higher bioactivity compared with 2D-mesoporous carbons. The preparation of protein-entrapped mesoporous carbon nanocomposites expands the scope of carbon-based electrochemical devices and opens a new avenue for the development of biosensors.     

Synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution of nanocrystalline mesoporous titania prepared by surfactant-assisted templating sol-gel process

Nanocrystalline mesoporous titania was synthesized via a combined sol-gel process with surfactant-assisted templating method, treated under various calcination conditions, and evaluated for its photocatalytic activity through photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from an aqueous methanol solution. In this synthetic method, applied surfactant template molecules functioned as both mesopore-forming and gelation-assisting agents. The resulting products were methodically characterized by TG-DTA, XRD, N₂ adsorption-desorption, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra, SEM, and TEM analyses. The partial phase transformation from anatase to rutile occurred beyond calcination temperature of 600 °C and anatase-rutile transition kinetics was also investigated. The calcination conditions and crystalline phases existing in the products exerted significant effect on the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. The activity of the synthesized titania treated under appropriate calcination conditions was considerably higher than that of commercial titania powders, Ishihara ST-01 and Degussa P-25. It is clearly seen that the introduction of mesopore into titania photocatalyst substantially improved the photocatalytic performance.
