Bimodal Macro- Mesoporous Silica Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bimodal macro-mesoporous silica networks have been prepared in a simple one-pot synthesis using an inexpensive non-toxic surfactant and tetraethoxysilane as a silica precursor. These novel materials show high pore volumes with interparticle macropores and templated mesopores (average pore size 3.0 nm) in 20 nm thick walls. The key properties of these materials can be tailored by controlling the experimental conditions (temperature, pH, stirring and surfactant properties and concentration) to obtain surface areas over 1000 m/g and total pore volumes of 2.0 cm/g.

Formation of bimodal porous silica-titania monoliths by sol-gel route
Silica-titania monoliths with micrometer-scale macroporous and nanometer-scale mesoporous structure and high titania contents are prepared by sol-gel process and phase separation. Titanium alkoxide precursor was not effective in the preparation of high titania content composites because of strong decrease in phase separation tendency. Bimodal porous gels with high titania content were obtained ...
متن کاملInvestigation of performance of bimodal/functionalized mesoprorous silica nanoparticles on the adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solution
In this study, bimodal mesoporous silica, i.e. UVM-7, was synthesized and functionalized withsulfonic acid and characterized using XRD, nitrogen physisorption, SEM, TEM and acid/basetitration. The results displayed that bimodal mesopore structure was firmly formed and acidicfunctional groups were grafted on the surface of the UVM-7. The concentration of the acidicfunctional groups was determine...

By controlling the interaction between cationic surfactant micelles and ammonium metatungstate during the formation of mesoporous silica structure, highly dispersed tungsten carbide (WC) nanoparticles of 2.0 nm in diameter on mesoporous silica nanospheres were synthesized at lower concentration of ammonium metatungstate. With additional ammonium metatungstate, a novel mesoporous silica nanobamb...
متن کاملTransport Properties of Catalyst Supports Derived from a Catalytic Test Reaction
1. Introduction Porous solids with bimodal pore structures are widely used as catalyst supports. Examples are formed bodies, such as tablets, beads, extrudates, and monoliths, of molecular sieves, silica and alumina. The formed bodies are prepared usually by compacting fine micro-or mesoporous particles [1]. As a result, macropores are formed between the agglomerated particles. Recently, cataly...
متن کاملCoexistence of two kinds of fluorinated hydrogenated micelles as building blocks for the design of bimodal mesoporous silica with two ordered mesopore networks.
A simple and effective route has been developed for the synthesis of bimodal (3.6 and 9.4 nm) mesoporous silica materials that have two ordered interconnected pore networks. Mesostructures have been prepared through the self-assembly mechanism by using a mixture of polyoxyethylene fluoroalkyl ether and triblock copolymer as building blocks. The investigation of the R(F)(8)(EO)(9)/P123/water pha...
