: In the present study, SAPO-34 particles were synthesized using hydrothermal (HT) and dry gel (DG) conversion methods in the presence of diethyl amine (DEA) as an organic structure directing agent (SDA). Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were used as hard template in the synthesis procedure to introduce transport pores into the structures of the synthesized samples. The synthesized samples were characterized with different methods to reveal effects of synthesis method and using hard template on their structure and catalytic performance in methanol to olefin reaction (MTO). DG conversion method results in smaller particle size in comparison with hydrothermal method, resulting in enhancing catalytic performance. On the other side, using CNT in the synthesis procedure with DG method results in more reduction in particle size and formation of hierarchical structure which drastically improves catalytic performance.

Two kinds of mesoporous HPW/SiO2 composites, which have been synthesized respectively by the amino-functionalized (AF) method and evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method, have been used as catalysts in the oxidative desulfurization process of dibenzothiophene(DBT). The catalytic performance results show that the catalyst synthesized by EISA method holds higher catalytic activity than that synthesized by the AF method. The difference of catalytic activity can be attributed to the different synthesis mechanism of two kinds of composites. In the AF method, the bonding force between HPW and SiO2 is strong acid-base interaction, which damages the Keggin structure. Whereas in the EISA process, electrostatic force and hydrogen bonds between W=O groups and Si-OH groups are main bonding forces. The hydrogen bond holds the electron-withdrawing effect, which increases the activity of nonbonding W=O groups in HPW and then results in the enhancement of the catalytic activity.

Mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite is developed to enhance the catalytic performance in a hydrocracking reaction. The generated mesopores and mesoporous channels in the new catalyst supply more opportunities for reactant accessing the active sites according to the better mass transfer and diffusion. Meanwhile, the acidity of the mesoporous catalyst is also weakened because of the removal of Si and Al species from its MFI structure, which makes the products distribution drift to more valued chemicals such as olefins. In the modified mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites via different metallic promoters, the olefins’ selectivity increases as the alkalinity of the catalyst increases. The reason for this is that the formed olefins will be further hydrogenated into corresponding alkanes immediately over the extremely acidic zeolite catalyst. Hence, the moderate alkalinity will limit this process, while at the same time the remaining olefins products will too. Furthermore, the Pd-based mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite shows an excellent n-decane conversion and high propane selectivity due to the occurrence of hydrogen spillover via the Pd promoter. The phenomenon of hydrogen spillover supplies more chemisorbed sites of hydrogen atoms for hydrocracking and hydrogenating in this reaction. In short, this study explores the important effect factors in n-decane hydrocracking reaction activity and products distribution. It also shows a potential for the further industrial application of petroleum-derived fuel hydrocracking according to the optimized products distribution under metallic promoted mesoporous zeolite.

The effect of NiO contents on the microstructure of mesoporous NiO - Gd 0.25 Ce 0.75 O 2-x ( NiO -GDC) composite for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC) was investigated. Mesoporous NiO -GDC powders with different NiO contents were synthesized by self-assembly hydrothermal method using tri-block copolymer, Pluronic F127, as a structure directing agent. Grain growth/agglomeration behaviors of NiO particles and changes of mesoporous structure of GDC particles were characterized by microstructural analyses. NiO -GDC powders were composed of GDC nano particles with ordered mesopore inside the particles and octahedral NiO grains with truncated-edges. As the amount of NiO increases, specific area value of mesoporous NiO -GDC was decreased, and the agglomeration/growth behavior of NiO grains was accelerated.

Fe-SBA-15 materials with different Fe content have been prepared using tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and iron nitrate (Fe (NO3)3·H2O as precursors and Pluronic P123 as structure directing agent through evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method. The materials were characterized by nitrogen sorption, powder X-ray diffraction and TEM. All the Fe-SBA-15 samples appeared ordered 2D hexagonal mesostructure. The BET surface area and pore diameter were about 500 m2/g and 4 nm respectively. In the reaction of phenol hydroxylation to dihydroxybenzenes, the Fe-SBA-15 materials showed good catalytic activity, giving 20.2% of phenol conversion, 58.2% of selectivity for o-dihydroxy benzene and 41.8% of selectivity for p-dihydroxy benzene. After five cycles, the product yield was 25.2%, while selectivities of o-dihydroxy benzene and p-dihydroxy benzene were 58.2% and 41.8%, respectively. All these findings indicated the potential of Fe-SBA-15-10 could be used as a cost-effective, environment-friendly catalyst.
