Nanoporous alumina membrane prepared by anodic oxidation using sulfuric acid electrolyte was subjected to TG-DTA and X-ray
Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS or ESCA) to further study the distribution of sulfur. In XPS study, Ar+ ion bombardment was performed on the sample to etch the surface at a rate of 3 nm min-1. As a result, sulfur was found to be concentrated within a depth of 3nm from the surface. The S content of the surface was
found to be 2.7±0.5 wt%, and that at a depth of ca. 3 nm and ca. 10 nm was found to be as low as about 0.6±0.11 wt% (5.37±1.0
wt%→ 1.26±0.2wt% SO2). In TG-DTA, the mass loss of 7.3% was in fair agreement with that calculated on XPS results (7.1±1.2%).

Silica gels with hierarchical macropores and mesopores have been prepared by inducing phase separation in the alkoxide-based sol-gel system with an addition of alkyltrimethylammonium salt. Narrowly distributed mesopores were observed in the heat-treated gel samples possibly as a result of supramolecular templating of silica oligomers in the reacting solution. The ionic attractive interaction and hydrophobicity of the attached alkyl group cooperatively determined the phase separation tendency. No indication of long-range order of the mesopores was obtained. 相似文献
A copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) has been encapsulated in silica. The trapping effects were studied comparing the UV-Vis absorption
spectra of some CuPc solutions and composites prepared under different conditions. The trapped organic molecules’ stability
was monitored during the gelation and drying processes. Leachability test have been carried out with the aim of checking the
trapping efficiency. Hydrolysis water of pH=2 and a molar ratioRw=6 mol acid H2O/mol TMOS leads to a higher CuPc stacking angle homogeneity. The increase of Pc induces a narrower mesopore distribution
and helps the stabilization of the composite. 相似文献
The synthesis of highly nitrogen‐doped mesoporous carbon spheres (NMCS) is reported. The large pores of the NMCS were obtained through self‐polymerization of dopamine (DA) and spontaneous co‐assembly of diblock copolymer micelles. The resultant narrowly dispersed NMCS possess large mesopores (ca. 16 nm) and small particle sizes (ca. 200 nm). The large pores and small dimensions of the N‐heteroatom‐doped carbon spheres contribute to the mass transportation by reducing and smoothing the diffusion pathways, leading to high electrocatalytic activity. 相似文献
The adsorption properties of the new carbon materials, sibunites, which are mesoporous samples with a developed surface of pores, were studied. The isotherms of the adsorption of benzene vapor were determined to estimate the porous structure of these materials. The principal methods for calculating the parameters of the porous structure of sibunites were analyzed. The application of the BET equation even in the presence of a small number of micropores can distort the results, therefore the most suitable method for estimating the surface of mesopores is one that is based on the Dubinin—Zaverina equation. The estimation of the surface of sibunites using water vapor adsorption is demonstrated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1377–1380, August, 1993. 相似文献
Summary: A novel mesoporous organosilica with additional cyclodextrin‐based micropores has been synthesized from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and cyclodextrin‐based silane monomer precursors and triblock PEO‐PPO‐PEO (poly(ethylene oxide)‐poly(propylene oxide)‐ poly(ethylene oxide)) copolymer P123 as the structure‐directing template with the aid of sodium chloride and the supramolecular assembly of cyclodextrins with P123.
Amorphous, porous materials represent by far the largest proportion of natural and men-made materials. Their pore networks consists of a wide range of pore sizes, including meso- and macropores. Within such a pore network, material moisture plays a crucial role in almost all transport processes. In the hygroscopic range, the pores are partially saturated and liquid water is only located at the pore fringe due to physisorption. Therefore, material parameters such as porosity or median pore diameter are inadequate to predict material moisture and moisture transport. To quantify the spatial distribution of material moisture, Hillerborg’s adsorption theory is used to predict the water layer thickness for different pore geometries. This is done for all pore sizes, including those in the lower nanometre range. Based on this approach, it is shown that the material moisture is almost completely located in mesopores, although the pore network is highly dominated by macropores. Thus, mesopores are mainly responsible for the moisture storage capacity, while macropores determine the moisture transport capacity, of an amorphous material. Finally, an electrical analogical circuit is used as a model to predict the diffusion coefficient based on the pore-size distribution, including physisorption. 相似文献
