Soft-template synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbon/nanoparticle nickel composites with a high surface area

Ordered mesoporous carbon/nanoparticle nickel composites have been synthesized via multi-component co-assembly strategy associated with a direct carbonization process from resol, tetraethyl orthosilicate, Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and triblock copolymer F127 and subsequent silicates removal with NaOH solution. The incorporation of rigid silicates in the pore walls can reduce framework shrinkage significantly during the pyrolysis process, creating large mesopores. Moreover, plenty of complementary small pores caused by silica removal are observed in the carbon pore walls, which contribute to the large surface area. The mesoporous carbon/nanoparticle nickel composites with a low Ni content (1.7 wt%) possess ordered two-dimensional hexagonal structure, large mesopores (6.8 nm), high surface area (1580 m² g⁻¹) and large pore volume (1.42 cm³ g⁻¹). Magnetic Ni nanocrystals with particle size of ∼16.0 nm are confined in the matrix of carbon frameworks. With increase of Ni content, the surface area and pore volume of the composites decrease. The particle size of metallic Ni nanocrystals increases up to 20.3 nm, when its content increases to 10 wt%. These carbon/nanoparticle nickel composites with high surface area, large pore size and superparamagnetic property show excellent adsorption properties for bulky dye fuchsin base and an easy separation procedure.

Kilogram-scale synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons and their electrochemical performance

An efficient post-cure approach has been demonstrated for the kilogram-scale synthesis of high-quality ordered mesoporous carbons (OMC) by using triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 as a template, phenolic resol as a carbon precursor and polyurethane foam as a sacrificial scaffold through an organic–organic self-assembly. The effects of the concentration and the loading amount of resol on the mesostructure of the carbons are systematically investigated. The small-angle X-ray scattering, nitrogen sorption and transmission electron microscopy results reveal that the resultant OMC in kilogram-scale quantities possesses high surface area (∼690 m² g⁻¹), large pore volume (∼0.45 cm³ g⁻¹) and uniform, large pore size (∼4.5 nm) as well as thick pore walls (∼6.5 nm). The OMC exhibits good electrochemical performance of about 130 F g⁻¹ in KOH electrolyte.

Simple synthesis of magnetic mesoporous FeNi/carbon composites with a large capacity for the immobilization of biomolecules

An easy co-impregnation method has been developed to synthesize magnetic mesoporous FeNi alloy/carbon composites with an ordered hexagonal structure. Furfuryl alcohol and metal nitrates were used as the carbon and magnetic particle precursors and were impregnated into the silica template in one step using a simple ethanol solution of furfuryl alcohol and metal nitrates. Compared to the co-casting route with two-step impregnation, the co-impregnation makes the synthesis simpler and eliminates the difficult second impregnation step. The mesoporous FeNi/carbon composites obtained have large surface areas, large pore volumes and a bimodal pore size distribution. The FeNi alloy nanoparticles were well dispersed in the mesoporous carbon walls. The composites exhibit excellent superparamagnetic behavior and the saturation magnetization strength can be adjusted from 3.4 to 5.7 emu/g by increasing the content of alloy. Such bimodal mesoporous composites show a large immobilization capacity for the biomolecules of cytochrome c (up to 732 mg/g) and lysozyme (up to 790 mg/g).     

Synthesis of magnetically separable ordered mesoporous carbons from F127/[Ni(H2O)6](NO3)2/resorcinol-formaldehyde composites

An easy method is described for the synthesis of a mesostructured Ni/ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) composite with a highly ordered cubic structure (space group Im3m). This synthesis was carried out by the carbonization of the F127/[Ni(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₂/RF (resorcinol-formaldehyde) composite self-assembled in an alkaline medium. The effects of nickel loading content and carbonization temperature on the morphologies, pore features, structures and magnetic properties of these Ni/OMC composites were investigated using the thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen sorption, transmission electron microscopy and vibrating-sample magnetometer measurements. It was found that Ni²⁺ was captured by the network of F127/RF and further reduced into metallic Ni nanoparticles during the carbonization. The nickel nanoparticles were well-dispersed in the ordered mesoporous carbon walls. The Ni/OMC composites exhibit the soft ferromagnetic behavior and the magnetization parameters can be adjusted by the content of nickel and the carbonization temperatures. The excellent acid-resistant property of the magnetic materials makes them useful in magnetic separation.     

An ordered hydrophobic P6mm mesoporous carbon with graphitic pore walls and its application in aqueous catalysis

A hydrophobic ordered mesoporous carbon with hexagonal arrays of rods was synthesized by a nanocasting process by using silica SBA-15 as a template and 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene as a fused-aromatic carbon precursor. Impregnation of 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene and its subsequent conversion into carbon occurred inside the mesopores of the silica template through a dehydration reaction between the surface silanols and hydroxyl groups of the carbon source and mild carbonization under inert atmosphere. After silica removal, X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, pore size analysis and Raman spectroscopy showed that the resulting material was a negative replica of the silica template with a 2D-hexagonal P6mm ordered structure, possessing a large surface area (724 m² g⁻¹), a monomodal pore size distribution (3.4 nm) and a relative hydrophobic surface with graphitic pore walls. These features give the system substantial advantages to play a beneficial role in aqueous organometallic catalysis. The material appeared to be an excellent mass transfer promoter to enhance the overall reaction rate of the palladium-catalyzed cleavage reaction of water-insoluble allylundecylcarbonate (Tsuji–Trost reaction).     

Ordered mesoporous aluminosilicates with very low Si/Al ratio and stable tetrahedral aluminum sites for catalysis

New and ordered 2D-hexagonal (p6mm) mesoporous aluminosilicates (CMI-11) have been synthesized in strongly alkaline media using aluminosilicate ester ((Bu^sO)₂-Al-O-Si-(OEt)₃) as single-source molecular precursor and CTMABr as surfactant and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N₂ adsorption–desorption and ²⁷Al and ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopy. These mesoproous aluminosilicates exhibit a very low Si/Al ratio of 1.9 and highly thermal stable tetrahedral aluminum sites in the mesoporous walls. ²⁷Al and ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopy indicates that the pore walls of CMI-11 are fully condensed with molecular homogeneity of Si–O–Al linkage. These materials are highly important in catalysis, in particular for the petroleum processing and the bulky molecules treatment.

Template Synthesis of Three-Dimensional Cubic Ordered Mesoporous Carbon With Tunable Pore Sizes

Three-dimensional cubic ordered mesoporous carbons with tunable pore sizes have been synthesized by using cubic Ia3d mesoporous KIT-6 silica as the hard template and boric acid as the pore expanding agent. The prepared ordered mesoporous carbons were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis. The results show that the pore sizes of the prepared ordered mesoporous carbons with three-dimensional cubic structure can be regulated in the range of 3.9–9.4 nm. A simplified model was proposed to analyze the tailored pore sizes of the prepared ordered mesoporous carbons on the basis of the structural parameters of the silica template.     

Synthesis of polyaniline/mesoporous carbon nanocomposites and their application for CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> sorption

Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMC), were synthesized by nanocasting using ordered mesoporous silica as hard templates. Ordered mesoporous carbons CMK-1 and CMK-3 were prepared from MCM-48 and SBA-15 materials with pore diameters of 3.4 nm and 4.2 nm, respectively. Mesoporous carbons can be effectively modified for CO₂ adsorption with amine functional groups due to their high affinity for CO₂. Polyaniline (PANI)/mesoporous carbon nanocomposites were synthesized from in-situ polymerization by dissolving OMC in aniline monomer. The polymerization of aniline molecules inside the mesochannels of mesoporous carbons has been performed by ammonium persulfate. The nanocomposition, morphology, and structure of the nanocomposite were investigated by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT–IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). CO₂ uptake capacity of the mesoporous carbon materials was obtained by a gravimetric adsorption apparatus for the pressure range from 1 to 5 bar and in the temperature range of 298 to 348 K. CMK-3/PANI exhibited higher CO₂ capture capacity than CMK-1/PANI owing to its larger pore size that accommodates more amine groups inside the pore structure, and the mesoporosity also can facilitate dispersion of PANI molecules inside the pore channels. Moreover, the mechanism of CO₂ adsorption involving amine groups is investigated. The results show that at elevated temperature, PANI/mesoporous carbon nanocomposites have a negligible CO₂ adsorption capacity due to weak chemical interactions with the carbon nanocomposite surface.     

A combination of hard and soft templating for the fabrication of silica hollow microcoils with nanostructured walls

Hollow silica microcoils have been prepared by using functionalized carbon microcoils as hard templates and surfactant or amphiphilic dye aggregates as soft templates. The obtained materials have been characterized by electron and optical microscopy, nitrogen sorption and small angle X-ray scattering. The obtained hollow microcoils resemble the original hard templates in shape and size. Moreover, they have mesoporous walls (pore size ≈ 3 nm) with some domains where pores are ordered in a hexagonal array, originated from surfactant micelles. The obtained silica microcoils also show preferential adsorption of cationic fluorescent dyes. A mechanism for the formation of silica microcoils is proposed.     

A simple solid–liquid grinding/templating route for the synthesis of magnetic iron/graphitic mesoporous carbon composites

Magnetic iron/graphitic mesoporous carbon composites were prepared by a simple one-step solid–liquid grinding/templating route. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating-sample magnetometry and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the samples. It was observed that a high content of magnetic iron nanoparticles could be embedded in the walls of graphitic mesoporous carbon matrix, and the resulting materials have a hierarchical mesostructure with a high specific surface area, large pore volume, and high saturation magnetization, giving the materials wide potential applications as catalyst supports and adsorbents.

CTAB assisted microwave synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbon supported Pt nanoparticles for hydrogen electro-oxidation

Mesoporous carbon with ordered hexagonal structure derived from the co-assembly of triblock copolymer F127 and resol was employed as the carbon support of Pt catalysts for hydrogen electro-oxidation. Structural characterizations revealed that the mesoporous carbon exhibited large surface area and uniform mesopores. The Pt nanoparticles supported on the novel mesoporous carbon were fabricated by a facile CTAB assisted microwave synthesis process, wherein CTAB was expected to improve the wettability of carbon support as well as the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were applied to characterize the Pt catalysts. It was found that the Pt nanoparticles were uniform in size and highly dispersed on the mesoporous carbon supports. The cyclic voltammograms in sulfuric acid demonstrated that the electrochemical active surface area of Pt catalysts prepared with CTAB was two times than that without CTAB.

Simple synthesis of mesoporous carbon with magnetic nanoparticles embedded in carbon rods

Magnetically separable ordered mesoporous carbon containing magnetic nanoparticles embedded in the carbon walls was synthesized using a simple synthetic procedure. The resulting magnetically separable mesoporous carbon was denoted as M-OMC (magnetically separable ordered mesoporous carbon) poly(pyrrole) with residual Fe²⁺ ions in the mesoporous channel was converted to carbon material containing superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The size of the magnetic nanoparticles obtained was restricted by the channel size of the SBA-15 silica template, which resulted in the generation of superparamagnetic nanoparticles embedded in the carbon rods. The blocking temperature of M-OMC is 110 K. Pore size and textural property of M-OMC is similar to that of hexagonally ordered mesoporous carbon fabricated using SBA-15 silica as a template. The saturation magnetization of M-OMC is ca. 30.0 emu/g at 300 K, high enough for magnetic separation.
