The characterizations of structure, morphology and composition demonstrated that an open and hierarchical porous structure was generated in TS-1 zeolite after the post-treatment. With increasing the alkalinity of TPAOH solution, the hierarchical porosity and hydrophobicity increased and the framework Ti content decreased in the post-treated TS-1 zeolite. Both the pristine and post-treated TS-1 zeolites were employed as the catalysts for the reaction of phenol hydroxylation. It was found that the post-treated TS-1 zeolite possessed a higher catalytic performance than the pristine TS-1 zeolite. The larger the alkalinity of the post-treatment solution was, the higher the catalytic performance of the post-treated TS-1 zeolite was; however, a too high alkalinity of the post-treatment solution also led to the decline in the catalytic performance. This could be a result of the combined influences of the hierarchical porosity, hydrophobicity and framework Ti content on the catalytic performance. The higher levels of hierarchical porosity and hydrophobicity promoted but the lower level of framework Ti content inhibited the catalytic performance of TS-1 zeolite. Accordingly, the controlling to the alkalinity of TPAOH solution for the post-treatment was very important in respect of the catalytic performance of TS-1 zeolite.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Porous Materials","volume":"31 5","pages":"1697 - 1710"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140883755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of the proposed experiment was to evaluate the influence of composition and structure on the oxygen adsorption tendencies at both high (2000 –1500 K) and low temperatures (0–100 K), through molecular dynamics. The formation mechanism of the gas and oxide phase on the surface of the coatings during the thermal annealing was simulated by the molecular dynamics code. The formation of gas products before the formation of the oxide layer on the surface of the coatings was shown by molecular dynamics simulation. Based on the structural analysis conducted by scattering X-rays from small angles, it was determined that a new phase is formed on the surface of the coatings. Formation of free cubic TiC phase was observed in both TiZrSiCN and TiZrNbCN coatings under the influence of temperature. Degradation of surface morphology and formation of pinholes were found after thermal annealing.
