abstract

grinding (solvent-free) method was used as a superior technique to prepare mesoporous photocatalysts of zno, zns, zno / zns, cdo, cds and cdo / cds-sba-15. in this technique, the nitrate, acetate and chloride salts of zinc and/or cadmium were grinded with as-synthesized sba-15 as a mesoporous material. the controllable sulfurationis was used to prepare zns, zno/zns, cds and cdo/cds-sba-15 at temperature of 80 °c. the advantages of grinding technique were: i) the elimination of solvent and thus decrease of expense and ii) the complete incorporation of metal salts in the nanochannel of mesoporous material in a short time. x-ray powder diffraction, n2 adsorption-desorption and ft-ir spectroscopy were used to characterize the prepared materials. the highly dispersed semiconductors in sba-15 demonstrate an active photodegradation of congo red in aqueous solution. the nanocomposites of zno/zns and cdo/cds in channels of sba-15 showed the highest photocatalytic activity. the photocatalytic activity of zno-, zns- and zno/zns-sba-15 were also dependent on the salt precursor of zinc. the prepared composite photocatalysts of zinc/sba-15, by using zncl2 as salt precursor, indicated the higher activity.

Characterization and Photocatalytic Activity of ZnO, ZnS, ZnO/ZnS, CdO, CdS and CdO/CdS Nanoparticles in Mesoporous SBA-15

Grinding (solvent-free) method was used as a superior technique to prepare mesoporous photocatalysts of ZnO, ZnS, ZnO / ZnS, CdO, CdS and CdO / CdS-SBA-15. In this technique, the nitrate, acetate and chloride salts of zinc and/or cadmium were grinded with as-synthesized SBA-15 as a mesoporous material.

Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity of CeO2-SBA-15

Mesoporous photocatalysts of CeO2/SBA-15 are prepared by two methods of direct synthesis as solvent-usage and solvent-free methods. In solvent-usage method, CeO2/SBA-15 is synthesized in acidic media. While, in solvent-free method, CeO2/SBA-15, has been prepared through the novel path of directly grind cerium salt into the as-prepared samples of SBA-15 occluded ...

Formation of titanium nitride nanoparticles within mesoporous silica SBA-15.

We report the first synthesis of titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles inside the nanoscale channels of mesoporous silica SBA-15. The TiN precursor, Ti(NMe(2))(4) in toluene, was incorporated into the methyl group-modified channels of the SBA-15 powder. The functionalization of pore surfaces with methyl groups generates hydrophobic surfaces that facilitate impregnation with Ti(NMe(2))(4) and min...
