Novel extra-small Zn-MCM-41 mesoporous materials were successfully prepared following a straightforward synthesis route. The insertion of zinc as single site species was investigated for the first time using XPS via the Auger parameter in a Wagner plot representation. The XPS findings resulted in excellent agreement with IR analysis.

Nanoporous materials Al -MCM-41 with varying Si / Al molar ratios have been successfully synthesized from natural clay mineral halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). Hydrothermal treatment of acid-pretreated HNTs and NaOH solution resulted in the one-step synthesis of final nanoporous products by using surfactant. The effects of Si / Al molar ratios (7.7, 61.0 and 176.5) on the surface area, porosity and degree of structural order of Al -MCM-41 materials have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N 2 adsorption–desorption measurements and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra techniques. The results indicated that Si / Al molar ratio had important effect on the characteristics of nanoporous materials, and Al -MCM-41 with an intermediate Si / Al molar ratio of 61.0 exhibited excellent characteristics with high degree of order, high surface area (S BET ) of 1033 m2/g and pore volume of 0.92 mL/g.

ABSTRACTProcessing of foams from bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys, using melt infiltration techniques, is reported for the first time. Foaming methods based on infiltration of two types of pattern materials are described: investment of a continuous refractory yielding very low relative density structures (5% dense relative to the BMG), and investment of a discontinuous refractory pellet bed yielding higher relative density (50–60% dense relative to the BMG). Both methods are capable of producing foam structures; however high surface area and diminished thermal conductivity, especially in lower density structures, make vitrification of the alloy difficult.

Abstract Mesoporous materials are promising structures for application in catalysis and adsorption due to high surface area and large pore size. Mesoporous materials were synthesized by the hydrothermal method with novel surfactants, distinct from those observed in the literature, in order to carry out a study of its structure and to obtain materials with better textural properties. The structures synthesized with the surfactants Igepal CO630 and Brij O20 presented the best results of specific surface area, 1074 and 1075 m2.g-1, respectively. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, TG/DTG, N2 adsorption-desorption, and FTIR techniques. XRD patterns indicated that the highly ordered mesoporous silica structures, such as MCM-41 and MCM-48, using CTMABr as the structure-directing agent and the SBA-15, SBA-16 and other SBA structures using different block copolymers were obtained. Through N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, it was observed type IV isotherms, attributed to mesoporous materials. The FTIR spectra presented similar behaviors with characteristic vibrational bands of MCM and SBA type materials.

Taking the wide band gap one-dimensional (1-D) tungsten oxide nanowires as an example, we here demonstrate systematically the physical characteristics of thermally processed nanowires at temperatures ranging from 400°C to 1000°C, for the first time. Accompanied by a significant drop of specific surface area from 151 m2/g for the as-prepared nanowires to 109 m2/g and 66 m2/g subject to annealing at 400°C and 450°C, dramatically morphology evolution and phase transformation have also been observed. The nanostructured bundles became straighter, larger in diameters and shorter in length, and eventually became irregular particles with size up to 5 µm. The Brunauer-Emmett-Tettler (BET) result suggests that 400°C can be considered as a top temperature limit in nanodevice design where high surface area is important, e.g. in gas sensors. A protocol for thermally processing of these bundled tungsten nanowires has been established.
