Abstract
In this study, we successfully synthesized RUT-type and cristobalite nickel silicate materials by using tetramethylammonium (TMA+) and phenyltrimethylammonium ions (PTMA+), respectively, through the interzeolite transformation of the parent MWW-type nickel silicate (Ni-MWW). Under hydrothermal conditions, the parent Ni-MWW gradually decomposed into amorphous nickel silicate and subsequently reassembled into RUT and cristobalite structures after 12 and 24 h of crystallization time, respectively. With increasing crystallization time, the framework Ni species were stabilized by converting intermediate Ni species into isolated Ni species, resulting in a more thermodynamically stable chemical state. During the interzeolite transformation process, we obtained well-dispersed Ni species within fully crystallized RUT and cristobalite structures, with Ni loadings of approximately 7 and 8 wt%, respectively. Here, we comprehensively discuss the structure-directing effects of tetraalkylammonium cations, which lead to variations in both crystallization and stabilization rates of framework Ni species through the interzeolite transformation of Ni-MWW. This includes the use of TMAOH and PTMAOH, as well as our previous studies on tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH), tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH), and N,N,N-trimethyl-1-adamantammonium hydroxide (TMAdaOH).
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
