A high surface area, hydrophobic mesoporous material, MFS, has been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal synthesis method using a perfluorinated surfactant, SURFLON S-386, as the single template. N2adsorption and TEM were employed to characterize the pore structure and morphology of MFS. Static water adsorption test indicates that the hydrophobicity of MFS is significantly higher than that of MCM-41. XPS and Py-GC/MS analysis confirmed the existence of perfluoroalkyl groups in MFS which led to its high hydrophobicity. MFS was used as a support for CuO in experiments of catalytic combustion of naphthalene, where it showed a significant advantage over MCM-41 and ZSM-5. SEM was helpful in understanding why CuO-MFS performed so well in the catalytic combustion of naphthalene. Experimental results indicated that MFS was a suitable support for catalytic combustion of large molecular organic compounds, especially for some high temperature catalytic reactions when water vapor was present.

ABSTRACTNew methods have been developed for the synthesis of high surface area cation-substituted hexaaluminates. These materials were prepared by calcining high temperature (ethanol extraction) or low temperature (CO2 extraction) aerogels at temperatures up to 1600°C. Cation-substituted hexaaluminates have emerged as promising catalysts for use in high temperature catalytic combustion. In comparing unsubstituted and cation-substituted hexaaluminates, we found that the phase transformations were much cleaner for the cation-substituted materials. BaCO3 and BaAl2O4 were intermediates during transformation of the unsubstituted materials, while the cation-substituted materials transformed directly from an amorphous phase to crystalline hexaaluminate. Moreover, the presence of substitution cations caused the transformation to occur at lower temperatures. Mn seems to be a better substitution cation than Co since the Mn-substituted materials exhibited higher surface areas and better heat resistances than the Co-substituted materials. The low temperature aerogel-derived materials possessed quite different characteristics from the high temperature aerogel-derived materials. For example, phase transformation pathways were different.

Fluorine-containing hydrophobic mesoporous material (MFS) with high surface area is successfully synthesized with hydrothermal synthesis method by using a perfluorinated surfactant SURFLON S-386 template. The adsorption properties of water vapor on the synthesized MFS are also investigated by using gravimetric method. Results show that SEM image of the MFS depicted roundish morphology with the average crystal size of 1-2 μm. The BET surface area and total pore volume of the MFS are 865.4 m2 g−1and 0.74 cm3 g−1with a narrow pore size distribution at 4.9 nm. The amount of water vapor on the MFS is about 0.41 mmol g−1at 303 K, which is only 52.6% and 55.4% of MCM-41 and SBA-15 under the similar conditions, separately. The isosteric adsorption heat of water on the MFS is gradually about 27.0–19.8 kJ mol−1, which decreases as the absorbed water vapor amount increases. The value is much smaller than that on MCM-41 and SBA-15. Therefore, the MFS shows more hydrophobic surface properties than the MCM-41 and SBA-15. It may be a kind of good candidate for adsorption of large molecule and catalyst carrier with high moisture resistance.

AbstractThis study introduces a practical approach to fabricate a novel hybrid acidic catalyst, namely sulfamic acid pyromellitic diamide-functionalized MCM-41 (MCM-41-APS-PMDA-NHSO3H). Various techniques such as FTIR, TGA, XRD, BET, FESEM, and EDX were used to confirm its structural characteristics. The efficiency of the new MCM-41-APS-PMDA-NHSO3H organosilica nanomaterials, as a heterogenous nanocatalyst, was examined in the synthesis of biologically active 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one derivatives under solvent-free conditions. It was found that the nanoporous MCM-41-APS-PMDA-NHSO3H, demonstrating acidic nature and high surface area, can activate all the Biginelli reaction components to afford desired 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones under solvent-free conditions in short reaction time. Furthermore, easy and quick isolation of the new introduced hybrid organosilica from the reaction mixture as well as its reusability with negligible loss of activity in at least five consecutive runs are another advantages of this green protocol.

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.
