One-Step Synthesis of Hierarchical ZSM-5 Using Cetyltrimethylammonium as Mesoporogen and Structure-Directing Agent.

ABSTRACT: Hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite is hydrothermally synthesized in a single step with cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA) hydroxide acting as mesoporogen and structure-directing agent. Essential to this synthesis is the replacement of NaOH with KOH. An in-depth solid-state NMR study reveals that, after early electrostatic interaction between condensed silica and the head group of CTA, ZSM-5 crystallizes around the structure-directing agent. The crucial aspect of using KOH instead of NaOH lies in the faster dissolution of silica, thereby providing sufficient nutrients for zeolite nucleation. The hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite contains mesopores and shows excellent catalytic performance in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons reaction.

One-pot synthesis of MWW zeolite nanosheets using a rationally designed organic structure-directing agent.

Project description:A new material MIT-1 comprised of delaminated MWW zeolite nanosheets is synthesized in one-pot using a rationally designed organic structure-directing agent (OSDA). The OSDA is comprised of a hydrophilic head segment that resembles the OSDA used to synthesize the zeolite precursor MCM22(P), a hydrophobic tail segment that resembles the swelling agent used to swell MCM22(P), and a di-quaternary ammonium linker that connects both segments. MIT-1 features high crystallinity and surface areas exceeding 500 m2g-1, and can be synthesized over a wide synthesis window that includes Si/Al ratios ranging from 13 to 67. Characterization data reveal high mesoporosity and acid strength with no detectable amorphous silica phases. Compared to MCM-22 and MCM-56, MIT-1 shows a three-fold increase in catalytic activity for the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with benzyl alcohol.

A Mechanistic Investigation of Sustainable Solvent-Free, Seed-Directed Synthesis of ZSM-5 Zeolites in the Absence of an Organic Structure-Directing Agent.

Project description:The solvent-free, seed-directed synthesis using natural precursors has emerged as a sustainable route for the synthesis of zeolite. Albeit the significant progress in the synthesis techniques, the crystallization behaviors of zeolites are somewhat elusive. Herein, we performed a detailed investigation of the crystallization behaviors of ZSM-5 zeolites synthesized through the solvent-free, seed-directed route using rice husk silica as starting materials. The crystallization at 180 °C is completed rapidly in 10 h, with an ultrahigh zeolite yield of at least 95%. Moreover, we evaluated the crystallization kinetics at different temperatures using the nonlinear Avrami equation and found instantaneous nucleation with three-dimensional growth in the studied temperature range, with activation energies for nucleation, transition, and crystal growth of 137, 51, and 51 kJ mol-1, respectively, indicating that nucleation is the rate-determining step. Further investigation of the structural and morphological evolution revealed a preference for secondary nucleation over the seed-growth mechanism. Crystallization proceeds via structural rearrangement within the solid system. We anticipate that our work will provide extensive insights that increase the understanding of zeolite crystallization and expand the highly sustainable production of zeolites.

Rapid hydrothermal synthesis of hierarchical ZSM-5/beta composite zeolites.

Project description:An innovative hydrothermal method has been successfully applied to the synthesis of hierarchical ZSM-5/beta composite zeolites with different mass ratios. Firstly, the ZSM-5 zeolites were coated with amorphous silica and aluminum species by a spray drying process. Then, the precursor powder was hydrothermally crystallized for only 1-2 days with the addition of tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide (TEAOH). The obtained products were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, N2 physical adsorption-desorption, 27Al MAS NMR, ICP, pyridine-IR and NH3-TPD techniques. The characterization results imply that the ZSM-5/beta composite zeolites exhibit hierarchical-pores, higher external surface areas and larger mesopore volumes as compared to those of the pure ZSM-5 and beta zeolite. Moreover, the pore structure and acid sites of the ZSM-5/beta composite can be adjusted by changing the mass ratio of ZSM-5/beta. Finally, the ZSM-5/beta composite catalysts exhibit good catalytic performances in the cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (1,3,5-TIPB).

A Feasible One-Step Synthesis of Hierarchical Zeolite Beta with Uniform Nanocrystals via CTAB.

Project description:A hierarchical zeolite Beta has been prepared by a feasible one-pot and one-step method, which is suitable for application in industrial production. The synthesis is a simple hydrothermal process with low-cost raw materials, without adding alcohol or adding seeds, and without aging, recrystallization, and other complex steps. The hierarchical zeolite Beta is a uniform nanocrystal (20⁻50 nm) aggregation with high external surface area (300 m²/g) and mesoporous volume (0.50 cm³/g), with the mesoporous structure composed of intercrystal and intracrystal pores. As an acid catalyst in benzylation of naphthalene with benzyl chloride, the hierarchical zeolite Beta has shown high activity in the bulky molecule reaction due to its introduction of mesostructure.

One-step wet chemical synthesis of gold nanoplates on solid substrate using poly-l-lysine as a reducing agent.

Project description:A one-step wet chemical approach or seedless growth process has several advantages compared to the traditional seed-mediated growth method (SMGM), such as being simpler and not requiring a multistep growth of seeds. This study had introduced a one-step wet chemical method to synthesis gold nanoplates on a solid substrate. The synthesis was carried out by simply immersing clean ITO substrate into a solution, which was made from mixing of gold chloride (precursor), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide or CTAB (stabilizing agent), and poly-l-lysine or PLL (reducing agent). Consequently, the size of the nanoplates in the range of (0.40 - 0.89) μm and a surface density within the range (21.89-57.19) % can be easily controlled by changing the concentration of PLL from 0.050 to 0.100 w/v % in H2O. At low PLL concentrations, the reduction of the gold precursor by PLL is limited, leading to the formation of gold nanoplates with a smaller size and surface density. The study on the sample by using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed that gold peaks occurred. The optical properties of the samples were examined by a UV-vis Spectrophotometer and showed that there was no strong surface plasmon resonance band observed at UV-vis and infrared regions, which agreed to micron-sized gold nanoplates. •Gold nanoplates synthesized on the substrate using a simple one-step wet chemical synthesis approach with poly-l-lysine (PLL) as a reducing agent and CTAB as a stabilizing agent.•The nanoplate's size and surface density was strongly dependent on the concentration of PLL.•Gold nanoplates synthesized using PLL with a concentration 0.050% showed perfect triangular shape, less by-products and more homogenous in size.

Organic Structure-Directing Agent-Free Synthesis of Mordenite-Type Zeolites Driven by Al-Rich Amorphous Aluminosilicates.

Project description:Mordenite (MOR)-type zeolites with a Si/Al molar ratio of up to 13 with crystallite sizes of ca. 60 nm were successfully synthesized from Al-rich aluminosilicates with a Si/Al ratio of 2 and additional SiO2 under seed-assisted hydrothermal conditions for 6 h or longer without any organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs). In stark contrast, under the same hydrothermal conditions for 6 h, control experiments using starting reagent(s), such as Al-poor aluminosilicate, pure SiO2, tetraethyl orthosilicate, and Al(NO3)3, all of which are typically employed for zeolite synthesis, failed to yield MOR-type zeolites. The penta-coordinated Al species, which are present in Al-rich aluminosilicates and are more reactive than the tetra- and hexa-coordinated Al species typically found in alumina and Al-poor aluminosilicates, played a decisive role in the OSDA-free synthesis of MOR-type zeolites.

Synthesis of Extra-Large Pore, Large Pore and Medium Pore Zeolites Using a Small Imidazolium Cation as the Organic Structure-Directing Agent.

Project description:One common strategy in the search for new zeolites is the use of organic structure-directing agents (OSDA). Typically, one seeks to achieve a high specificity in the structure-directing effect of the OSDA. This study shows, however, that an OSDA lacking strong specificity towards any particular zeolite may provide opportunities for discovery when other synthesis parameters are systematically screened. Thus, 1-methyl-2-ethyl-3-n-propylimidazolium has allowed to crystallize the new large/medium pore zeolite HPM-16 as well as the recently reported extra-large pore -SYT and the medium/small pore and chiral STW. The sophisticated OSDA originally affording -SYT and the new simple OSDA have very little in common, both in terms of size, shape and flexibility, while both may still direct the synthesis of the same zeolite. In fact, molecular simulations show that the new OSDA is located in three different positions of the -SYT structure, including the discrete 8MR where the original organic could not fit.

Synthesis of an excellent MTP catalyst: hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites with great mesoporosity.

Project description:A unique organosiloxane-polyether amine (OPA) was produced and used as mesoporogen to efficiently synthesize hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites with great mesoporosity. We have employed silica sol and tetraethylorthosilicate, respectively, to investigate the influence of different silicon sources on hierarchical zeolites in the presence of OPA. The mesopores of synthesized samples focused on 6-15 nm, and the external surface area varied from 185 to 463 m2 g-1 where the micropore surface area was maintained at 245-334 m2 g-1. Benefiting from the superior structure properties, these samples were used as catalysts in the reaction of methanol to propylene, and the optimal one catalysed for 180 h with methanol conversion above 95%. The as-produced OPA could connect steadily with zeolite frameworks through covalent bonds (-Si-O-Si-) during the hydrothermal crystallization process. This type of connection mode could effectively avoid the formation of amorphous phase and the special molecular structure of OPA could efficiently introduce abundant mesopores with few micropores being consumed. The samples synthesized with silicon sol were made up of quasi-circular particles of about 800 nm in size and further consisted of nanocrystals of 40 nm, and the samples produced with TEOS have a particle size of about 1-2 µm aggregated with nanocrystals of 300 nm.

Few-Unit-Cell MFI Zeolite Synthesized using a Simple Di-quaternary Ammonium Structure-Directing Agent.

Project description:Synthesis of a pentasil-type zeolite with ultra-small few-unit-cell crystalline domains, which we call FDP (few-unit-cell crystalline domain pentasil), is reported. FDP is made using bis-1,5(tributyl ammonium) pentamethylene cations as structure directing agent (SDA). This di-quaternary ammonium SDA combines butyl ammonium, in place of the one commonly used for MFI synthesis, propyl ammonium, and a five-carbon nitrogen-connecting chain, in place of the six-carbon connecting chain SDAs that are known to fit well within the MFI pores. X-ray diffraction analysis and electron microscopy imaging of FDP indicate ca. 10 nm crystalline domains organized in hierarchical micro-/meso-porous aggregates exhibiting mesoscopic order with an aggregate particle size up to ca. 5 μm. Al and Sn can be incorporated into the FDP zeolite framework to produce active and selective methanol-to-hydrocarbon and glucose isomerization catalysts, respectively.

On-Chip Chemical Synthesis Using One-Step 3D Printed Polyperfluoropolyether.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) printing has already shown its high relevance for the fabrication of microfluidic devices in terms of precision manufacturing cycles and a wider range of materials. 3D-printable transparent fluoropolymers are highly sought after due to their high chemical and thermal resistance. Here, we present a simple one-step fabrication process via stereolithography of perfluoropolyether dimethacrylate. We demonstrate successfully printed microfluidic mixers with 800 µm circular channels for chemistry-on-chip applications. The printed chips show chemical, mechanical, and thermal resistance up to 200 °C, as well as high optical transparency. Aqueous and organic reactions are presented to demonstrate the wide potential of perfluoropolyether dimethacrylate for chemical synthesis.
