Abstract: | Rare earth Ce-incorporated MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves (CeMCM-41) were synthesized via a direct and nonhydrothermal method at room temperature from sodium silicate and ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate as raw materials. Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as a template. The resultant samples were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis) and N2 physical adsorption, respectively. The effect of the Si/Ce molar ratio on the crystalline structure and textural properties of CeMCM-41 was also investigated. The experimental results show that ordered CeMCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves were successfully synthesized at room temperature and the resultant mesoporous materials have specific surface areas in the range of 594–1369 m2/g and average pore sizes in the range of ca. 2.5–2.8 nm. It has been found that the structural properties are strongly related to the amounts of cerium incorporation. When the cerium content increased in the samples, the intensity of the peak (1 0 0) was gradually reduced, and the surface area and structural regularity were diminished. |
