The adsorption and activation of both CO2 methanol are mainly affected by the distance Lewis acid site, Zr4+, base, Zr4+/O2−, Zr-based catalysts. In this paper, Zr-incorporated SBA-15 (Zr-SBA-15) Zr-grafted (Zr/SBA-15) catalysts were prepared with different Zr environments, analyzed N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectra, XPS. It was proposed that Zr-SBA-15 cataly...

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 a...

The oxidation of naphthalene by immobilized laccase from Trametes versicolor has been performed using diverse immobilization strategies on mesostructured silica materials. Laccase was immobilized by physical adsorption on several SBA-15 with different textural properties and by covalent attachment on functionalized SBA-15 prepared by co-condensation method (direct synthesis). The adsorption of ...

The infiltration of palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) into the channels of SBA-15 was conveniently achieved via an incipient wetness procedure employing a tetraglyme solution. Electron tomography demonstrated that PdNPs were outgrown preferentially from the channels. The resultant Pd/SBA-15 showed high performance in the dehydrogenation kinetics of ammonia borane.

Au nanoparticles with small sizes (2-3 nm) were effectively stabilized in the mesopores of (S)-(-)-2-pyrrolidinone-5-carboxylic acid-modified SBA-15, which showed superior catalytic properties in aerobic oxidation of alcohols, compared with pyrrolidone-free SBA-15 supported Au catalysts.

In this study, the mesoporous silica SBA-15 materials containing carboxylic acid groups were used as an effective support to synthesize Cu nanoparticles. Various Cu loading levels from 4% to 13% on SBA-15 catalysts produced an average particle size of 2.8 to 3.1 nm, regardless of the Cu content.

A carrier system based on nanoporous silica (SBA-15) with magnetic nanoparticles of CoFe2O4 was synthesized via the impregnation of cobalt salt, iron salt and citric acid with as-synthesized SBA-15. The obtained samples were characterized by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), N2 adsorption/desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and ultraviolet (UV)...

N-Methyl-Nʹ-propyltrimethoxysillylimidazolium chloride was prepared as ionic liquid (IL) containing silylating agent and then used for modification of the internal surface of SBA-15 to gain a heterogeneous ionic liquid catalyst. Subsequently, the obtained SBA-IL was characterized using various techniques, including SEM and TEM images, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, TGA/DTA and BET ...
