Spherical Silica

In this present study, the spherical silica support was synthesized from tetraethyloxysilane (TEOS), water, sodium hydroxide, ethylene glycol and n-dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (C12TMABr). The particle size was controlled by variation of the ethylene glycol co-solvent weight ratio of a sol-gel method preparation in the range of 0.10 to 0.50. In addition, the particle size apparently increases with high weight ratio of co-solvent, but the particle size distribution was broader. The standard deviation of particle diameter is large when the co-solvent weight ratio is more than 0.35 and less than 0.15. However, the specific surface area was similar for all weight ratios ranging from 1000 to 1300 m2/g. The synthesized silica was spherical and has high specific surface area. The cobalt was impregnated onto the obtained silica to produce the cobalt catalyst used for CO2 hydrogenation.</

Organic Aerogels

Phloroglucinol-resorcinol-formaldehyde organic aerogels (PRF) were prepared using phloroglucinol, resorcinol and formaldehyde in a sol-gel process, solvent replacement and drying at room temperature. The phloroglucinol-resorcinol-formaldehyde carbon aerogels (CPRF) were prepared by charring the PRF at high temperature under the aegis of helium flow. The microstructure of CPRF was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, specific surface area analyzer and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the CPRF had continuous network structure and high specific surface area.

This paper deals with the synthesis of ultralow density silica aerogels using tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) as the precursor via sol-gel process followed by supercritical drying using acetonitrile solvent extraction. Ultralow density silica aerogels with 6 mg/cc of density was made for the molar ratio by this method. The microstructure and morphology of the ultralow density silica aerogels was characterized by the specific surface area, SBET, SEM, and the pore size distribution techniques. The results show that the ultralow density silica aerogel has the high specific surface area of 812m2/g. Thermal conductivities at desired temperatures were analyzed by the transient plane heat source method. Thermal conductivity coefficients of silica aerogel monoliths changed from 0.024 to 0.043W/ (m K) as temperature increased to 400°C, revealed an excellent heat insulation effect during thermal process.

Background: Pyrochloro structured Sm2Ti2O7 has photocatalytic activity on degradation of organic substances and on hydrogen evolution from water. Powder materials usually encounter the obstacle of separating from treated water. HZSM-5 zeolite is a kind of porous structured material with large surface area. Its role as a support for Sm2Ti2O7 is interesting. Methods: The supported Sm2Ti2O7 was synthesized using sol-gel method. The composite χSm2Ti2O7/HZSM-5 was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR/FIR, UV-Vis DRS, N2 adsorption- desorption and XPS measurements. Photocatalytic degradation of Reactive Brilliant Red X-3B (RBR X-3B) was measured to evaluate the activity of the composite. Results: Sm2Ti2O7 is in the pyrochlore phase after loading on the surface of HZSM-5 zeolite. The crystal cell of pyrochlore Sm2Ti2O7 continuously expanses with decreasing Sm2Ti2O7 loading content in the composite. Bandgap energy of Sm2Ti2O7 is enlarged after supporting. The specific surface area of Sm2Ti2O7 was enlarged from 9.8 m2/g to 93 m2/g after loading. Both of the adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity of the χSm2Ti2O7/HZSM-5 are greater than those of pure Sm2Ti2O7. After 120 min of irradiation, 73.1% of the initial RBR X-3B molecules are decomposed on 70%Sm2Ti2O7/HZSM-5, and only 27.7% of the dye is decomposed on the bare Sm2Ti2O7. Conclusion: Sm2Ti2O7 crystal growth is constrained after loading due to dispersion of Sm2Ti2O7 on the surface of HZSM-5. The specific surface area of Sm2Ti2O7 is significantly enlarged after loading. All the supported samples have greatly enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared to the bare Sm2Ti2O7.
