Hierarchically Porous Silica Prepared with Anionic Polyelectrolyte-Nonionic Surfactant Mesomorphous Complex as Dynamic Template.

ABSTRACT: Hierarchically porous silica KIT-6 and SBA-15 mesostructures were successfully synthesized by using a mesomorphous complex of a nonionic triblock copolymer (pluronic P123) and an anionic polyelectrolyte (polyacrylic acid) as the dynamic template. The obtained mesoporous silica materials possessed both ordered mesopores (∼7 nm) and nanopores (∼15-50 nm), and the long-range order of the mesophase was not perturbed by the embedded larger secondary nanopores. Moreover, hierarchically porous silica KIT-6 exhibited enhanced adsorption capacity in enzyme and protein immobilization, which was attributed to the hierarchically porous structure.

Hierarchically Porous (Alumino)Silicates Prepared by an Imidazole-Based Surfactant and Their Application in Acid-Catalyzed Reactions.

Project description:In this work, we developed a novel strategy to synthesize porous (alumino)silicate materials using a single structure-directing agent composed of an imidazole unit with a hydrophobic tail, namely, 1,2-dimethyl-3-hexadecyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium bromide (C16dMImz). A wide range of products such as ordered mesoporous silicas, layered silica-alumina, and hierarchically porous mordenite zeolite were obtained by varying synthesis parameters such as temperature and aluminum concentration. By changing crystallization temperature, we could control the degree of silica condensation and tune the textural and morphological properties of the final materials. By varying the aluminum concentration in the gel, we can obtain mesoporous amorphous silica-alumina or crystalline mordenite zeolite with, respectively, weak and strong Brønsted acid sites. Obtained acidic silica-alumina materials displayed promising performance in catalytic reactions of linear paraffin hydroisomerization and Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with benzyl alcohol.

Pentaethylenehexamine-Loaded Hierarchically Porous Silica for CO₂ Adsorption.

Project description:Recently, amine-functionalized materials as a prospective chemical sorbent for post combustion CO₂ capture have gained great interest. However, the amine grafting for the traditional MCM-41, SBA-15, pore-expanded MCM-41 or SBA-15 supports can cause the pore volume and specific surface area of sorbents to decrease, significantly affecting the CO₂ adsorption-desorption dynamics. To overcome this issue, hierarchical porous silica with interparticle macropores and long-range ordering mesopores was prepared and impregnated with pentaethylenehexamine. The pore structure and amino functional group content of the modified silicas were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, N₂ adsorption, X-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectra. Moreover, the effects of the pore structure as well as the amount of PEHA loading of the samples on the CO₂ adsorption capacity were investigated in a fixed-bed adsorption system. The CO₂ adsorption capacity reached 4.5 mmol CO₂/(g of adsorbent) for HPS-PEHA-70 at 75 °C. Further, the adsorption capacity for HPS-PEHA-70 was steady after a total of 15 adsorption-desorption cycles.

Setting Directions: Anisotropy in Hierarchically Organized Porous Silica.

Project description:Structural hierarchy, porosity, and isotropy/anisotropy are highly relevant factors for mechanical properties and thereby the functionality of porous materials. However, even though anisotropic and hierarchically organized, porous materials are well known in nature, such as bone or wood, producing the synthetic counterparts in the laboratory is difficult. We report for the first time a straightforward combination of sol-gel processing and shear-induced alignment to create hierarchical silica monoliths exhibiting anisotropy on the levels of both, meso- and macropores. The resulting material consists of an anisotropic macroporous network of struts comprising 2D hexagonally organized cylindrical mesopores. While the anisotropy of the mesopores is an inherent feature of the pores formed by liquid crystal templating, the anisotropy of the macropores is induced by shearing of the network. Scanning electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering show that the majority of network forming struts is oriented towards the shearing direction; a quantitative analysis of scattering data confirms that roughly 40% of the strut volume exhibits a preferred orientation. The anisotropy of the material's macroporosity is also reflected in its mechanical properties; i.e., the Young's modulus differs by nearly a factor of 2 between the directions of shear application and perpendicular to it. Unexpectedly, the adsorption-induced strain of the material exhibits little to no anisotropy.

Novel Anionic-Nonionic Surfactant Based on Water-Solid Interfacial Wettability Control for Residual Oil Development.

Project description:Irreversible colloidal asphaltene adsorption layers are formed on formation rock surfaces due to long-term contact with crude oil, and large amounts of crude oil adhere to these oil-wet layers to form residual oil films. This oil film is difficult to peel off due to the strong oil-solid interface effect, which seriously restricts further improvement in oil recovery. In this paper, the novel anionic-nonionic surfactant sodium laurate ethanolamide sulfonate (HLDEA) exhibiting strong wetting control was synthesized by introducing sulfonic acid groups into the nonionic surfactant laurate diethanolamide (LDEA) molecule through the Williamson etherification reaction. The introduction of the sulfonic acid groups greatly improved the salt tolerance and the absolute value of the zeta potential of the sand particles. The experimental results showed that HLDEA altered the wettability of the rock surface from oleophilic to strongly hydrophilic, and the underwater contact angle increased substantially from 54.7 to 155.9°. In addition, compared with LDEA, HLDEA exhibited excellent salt tolerance and enhanced oil recovery performance (the oil recovery was improved by 19.24% at 2.6 × 104 mg/L salinity). Based on nanomechanical experimental results, HLDEA was efficiently adsorbed on the core surfaces and regulated microwetting. Moreover, HLDEA effectively reduced the adhesion force between the alkane chains and the core surface, which facilitated residual oil stripping and oil displacement. This new anionic-nonionic surfactant affording great oil-solid interface wetting control has practical significance for the efficient development of residual oil.

Design and fabrication of hierarchically porous carbon with a template-free method.

Project description:Fabrication of hierarchically porous carbon materials (HPCs) with high surface area and pore volume has always been pursued. However, the currently effective template methods and acid/base activation strategies suffer from the drawbacks of either high costs or tedious steps. Herein, HPCs with 3D macro-mesopores and short-range meso-micropores were fabricated via an easy and sustainable two-step method from biomass. Macro-mesopores were constructed by slightly accumulation/aggregation of carbon spheres ranging from 60 nm to 80 nm, providing efficient mass diffusion pathways. Short-range mesopores and micropores with high electrolyte accessibility were developed in these spheres by air activation. The obtained HPCs showed surface area values up to 1306 m(2)/g and high mesopore volume proportion (63.9%). They demonstrated excellent capacitance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) as supercapacitor electrode materials, suggesting the efficient diffusion and adsorption of electrolyte ions in the designed hierarchically porous structure.

Powdered Hierarchically Porous Silica Monoliths for the Selective Extraction of Scandium.

Project description:Scandium (Sc) is a high value Critical Material that is most commonly used in advanced alloys. Due to current and potential supply limitations, there has been an international effort to find new and improved ways to extract Sc from existing and novel resources. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is one promising approach for Sc recovery, particularly for use with low-grade feedstocks. Here, unfunctionalized, powdered hierarchically porous silica monoliths from DPS Inc. (DPS) are used for Sc extraction in batch and semicontinuous flow systems at model conditions. The sorbent exhibits excellent mass transfer properties, much like the whole monoliths, which should permit Sc to be rapidly recovered from large volumes of feedstock. The Sc adsorption capacity of the material is ∼142.7 mg/g at pH 6, dropping to ∼12.0 mg/g at pH 3, and adsorption is furthermore highly selective for Sc compared with the other rare earth elements (REEs). Under semicontinuous flow conditions, recovery efficiency is limited by a kinetic process. The primary mechanism responsible for the system's slow approach to equilibrium is the Sc adsorption reaction kinetics rather than inter- or intraparticle diffusion. Overall, this unmodified hierarchically porous silica powder from DPS shows great promise for the selective extraction of Sc from various feedstocks.

Synergistic Role of Temperature and Salinity in Aggregation of Nonionic Surfactant-Coated Silica Nanoparticles.

Project description:The adsorption of nonionic surfactants onto hydrophilic nanoparticles (NPs) is anticipated to increase their stability in aqueous medium. While nonionic surfactants show salinity- and temperature-dependent bulk phase behavior in water, the effects of these two solvent parameters on surfactant adsorption and self-assembly onto NPs are poorly understood. In this study, we combine adsorption isotherms, dispersion transmittance, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to investigate the effects of salinity and temperature on the adsorption of pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E5) surfactant on silica NPs. We find an increase in the amount of surfactant adsorbed onto the NPs with increasing temperature and salinity. Based on SANS measurements and corresponding analysis using computational reverse-engineering analysis of scattering experiments (CREASE), we show that the increase in salinity and temperature results in the aggregation of silica NPs. We further demonstrate the non-monotonic changes in viscosity for the C12E5-silica NP mixture with increasing temperature and salinity and correlate the observations to the aggregated state of NPs. The study provides a fundamental understanding of the configuration and phase transition of the surfactant-coated NPs and presents a strategy to manipulate the viscosity of such dispersion using temperature as a stimulus.

Drying of Hierarchically Organized Porous Silica Monoliths-Comparison of Evaporative and Supercritical Drying.

Project description:In this study, we present a detailed comparison between a conventional supercritical drying process and an evaporative drying technique for hierarchically organized porous silica gel monoliths. These gels are based on a model system synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel processing of an ethylene-glycol-modified silane, resulting in a cellular, macroporous, strut-based network comprising anisotropic, periodically arranged mesopores formed by microporous amorphous silica. The effect of the two drying procedures on the pore properties (specific surface area, pore volume, and pore widths) and on the shrinkage of the monolith is evaluated through a comprehensive characterization by using nitrogen physisorption, electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering. It can clearly be demonstrated that for the hierarchically organized porous solids, the evaporative drying procedure can compete without the need for surface modification with the commonly applied supercritical drying in terms of the material and textural properties, such as specific surface area and pore volume. The thus obtained materials deliver a high specific surface area and exhibit overall comparable or even improved pore characteristics to monoliths prepared by supercritical drying. Additionally, the pore properties can be tailored to some extent by adjusting the drying conditions, such as temperature.

Template Method for Synthesizing Hierarchically Porous MIL-101(Cr) for Efficient Removal of Large Molecular Dye.

Project description:As one of the most important prototypical chromium-based MOFs, MIL-101(Cr) is well-studied and widely employed in various scientific fields. However, due to its small capture window sizes and curved internal apertures, its application in large molecular removal is quite limited, and given its high stability and high synthetic temperature (>200 °C), it is difficult to achieve hierarchically porous MIL-101(Cr). In our study, hierarchically porous MIL-101(Cr) involving a high macro-/meso-/micropores ratio was designed and synthesized using acetic acid as an additive and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles as a template. The optimal hierarchically porous MIL-101(Cr) (A-4) possessed a high specific surface area (2693 m2 g-1) and an abundant macro-/mesoporous structure with the addition of SiO2 of 200 mg. Compared with the control sample (A-0) with a less macro-/mesoporous structure, A-4 showed good adsorption properties for both coomassie brilliant blue R-250 (CBB, 82.1 mg g-1) and methylene blue (MB, 34.3 mg g-1) dyes, which were 1.36 times and 9.37 times higher than those of A-0. Moreover, A-4 also had good recyclability, and the removal rate of CBB was still higher than 85% after five cycles of adsorption.

Enhanced Separation Performance of Hierarchically Porous Membranes Fabricated via the Combination of Crystallization Template and Foaming

Project description:In this work, poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hierarchically porous membranes (HPMs) with isolated large pores and continuous narrow nano-pores have been fabricated from its blend with poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) based on the combination of crystallization template with chemical or supercritical CO2 foaming. On the one hand, the decomposition of azodicarbonamide (ADC, chemical foaming agent) or the release of CO2 can produce isolated large pores. On the other hand, PMMA is expelled during the isothermal crystallization of PVDF in their miscible blend, yielding narrow nano-pores upon etching with a selective solvent. In the case of supercritical CO2, the attained PVDF HPMs fail to improve separation performance because of the compact wall of isolated-large-pore and consequent poor connectivity of hierarchical pores. In the case of ADC, the optimal HPM exhibits much higher flux (up to 20 times) without any loss of selectivity compared with the reference only with nano-pores. The enhanced permeability can be attributed to the shorter diffusion length and lower diffusion barrier from isolated large pores, while the comparable selectivity is determined by narrow nano-pores in THE matrix.
