XRD, FT-IR and DRS UV-Vis techniques were used to characterize the samples. The results indicate incorporation of Cr into the MCM-41 framework, and dispersion of some CrsO3 on the surface or/and in the bulk of the MCM-41. Test of catalytic properties of the series of samples for the topic reaction was carried out using a continuous-flow fixed-bed quartz reactor. Factors influencing the catalytic performance for this title reaction, such as Cr/Si ratio in MCM- 41 and reaction temperature were investigated. The experimental results indicate that over the 5%CrMCM-41 a 43.27% conversion of ethane and a 86.70% selectivity for ethylene were achieved in the ethane dehydrogenation with COs to ethylene at 973 K. It is suggested that both Cr^6+ and Cr^3+ are the catalytic activity center.展开更多

The reaction periods were reduced using these two catalysts in contrast with Al2O3, which was a traditional method used in the literature. In addition, as an important feature of these schiff bases, we found that they were unstable as oils in air or when filtrated through silica gel, but were stable as solids.

The obtained samples were investigated by XRD, HRTEM, FTIR and N_2 adsorptions. It is shown that the pore sizes, ordered degree and specific surface area increase effectively with the incremental addition of TMB in an appropriate range, but the (100) peak intensity of XRD pattern becomes weakened and the ordered degree decreases when the additive quantity continued to increase. With the addition of TMB in an appropriate range, the effective surfactant ion pair packing parameter, g=V/a_0l, is mediated in the range of 1/3-1/2 with the increment of V and l, indicating that mesoporous silica is a well-ordered hexagonal structure. However, when the addition of TMB increases, g value becomes larger, which leads to a less long-range ordered structure for the uneven condissolution of TMB.展开更多

The reaction mechanism ofthiophene oxidation was proposed. Results obtained here can be used as the reference for the oxidative desulfurization of gasoline because thiophene is one of the main components containing sulfur in fluid catalytic cracking gasoline. Thiophene dissolved in n-octane was photodecomposed and removed into the water phase at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. A 500 W high-pressure mercury lamp (main wave length 365 nm, 0.22 kW/m) was used as light source for irradiation, and air was introduced by a gas pump to supply O2. Thiophene can be photo-oxidized to sulfone, oxalic acid, SO4^2-, and CO2. The desulfurization yield of thiophene in n-octane is 58.9% under photo-irradiation for 5 h under the conditions of air flow at 150 mL/min and V(water):V(n-octane)=1:1. It can be improved to 92.3% by adding 0.15 g zeoliteartificial into 100 mL reaction system, which is the adsorbent for O2 and thiophene. And under such conditions, the photo-oxidation kinetics of thiophene with O2/zeoliteartificial is first-order with an apparent rate constant of 0.5047 h^-1 and a half-time of 1.37 h. The sulfur content can be depressed from 800 μL/L to less than 62 μL/L.展开更多

Here we describe a combination of GO and molecular sieves for the dehydrogenative aromatization. GO prepared through improved Hummers method showed high oxidative activity in this reaction. Partially or fully saturated aromatic compounds were converted to their corresponding dehydrogenated aromatic products with fair to excellent conversions and selectivities. As both GO and molecular sieves are easily available, cheap, lowly toxic and have good tolerance to various functional groups, this reaction provides a facile approach toward aromatic compounds from their saturated precursors展开更多

The material was characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, FE-SEM, TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and 27A1 MAS NMR techniques. This mesoporous material shows high stability in the high-temperature steam [H2O (φ=20%) in N2 at 800 ℃ for 4 h], which might be ascribed to the synergistic effect of both thick walls containing zeolite-like five-membered ring subunits and highly condensed surface silanol groups.展开更多

文摘Aqueous sodium-ion batteries are known for poor rechargeability because of the competitive water decomposition reactions and the high electrode solubility.Improvements have been reported by saltconcentrated and organic-hybridized electrolyte designs,however,at the expense of cost and safety.Here,we report the prolonged cycling of ASIBs in routine dilute electrolytes by employing artificial electrode coatings consisting of NaX zeolite and NaOH-neutralized perfluorinated sulfonic polymer.The as-formed composite interphase exhibits a molecularsieving effect jointly played by zeolite channels and size-shrunken ionic domains in the polymer matrix,which enables high rejection of hydrated Na^(+)ions while allowing fast dehydrated Na^(+)permeance.Applying this coating to electrode surfaces expands the electrochemical window of a practically feasible 2 mol kg^(-1) sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate aqueous electrolyte to 2.70 V and affords Na_(2)MnFe(CN)_(6)//NaTi_(2)(PO_(4))_(3) full cells with an unprecedented cycling stability of 94.9%capacity retention after 200 cycles at 1 C.Combined with emerging electrolyte modifications,this molecular-sieving interphase brings amplified benefits in long-term operation of ASIBs.

文摘Mesoporous molecular sieves Al-MSU-S has been prepared from the precursor of zeolite Y using ionic liquids 1-hexadecane-3-methylimidazolium bromide (CMIMB) as a template in basic medium, which exhibited larger pore diameter, pore volume and surface area than that synthesized using cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) template.

文摘Graphite oxide (GO) has attracted much attention of material and catalysis chemists recently. Here we describe a combination of GO and molecular sieves for the dehydrogenative aromatization. GO prepared through improved Hummers method showed high oxidative activity in this reaction. Partially or fully saturated aromatic compounds were converted to their corresponding dehydrogenated aromatic products with fair to excellent conversions and selectivities. As both GO and molecular sieves are easily available, cheap, lowly toxic and have good tolerance to various functional groups, this reaction provides a facile approach toward aromatic compounds from their saturated precursors

文摘The ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate molecular sieve (MASMS-1) stable in the high-temperature steam has been successfully synthesized from the assembly of diluted ZSM-5-type precursor with mesoporous MCM-41. The material was characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, FE-SEM, TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and 27A1 MAS NMR techniques. This mesoporous material shows high stability in the high-temperature steam [H2O (φ=20%) in N2 at 800 ℃ for 4 h], which might be ascribed to the synergistic effect of both thick walls containing zeolite-like five-membered ring subunits and highly condensed surface silanol groups.

文摘Aluminophosphate(AlPO)and silicoaluminophosphate(SAPO)molecular sieves are an important class of open-framework crystalline materials with wide applications thanks to their molecular-scale selectivity,moderate/strong acidity and excellent(hydro)thermal stability.In recent decades,the manufacturing of new microporous solids with ordered structures has been widely investigated and many effective methods have been developed,which enriches the material types and broadens their applications beyond the traditional use as catalysts and adsorbents.However,the development on the synthesis of AlPO/SAPO molecular sieves is still insufficient and lags behind the needs of applications.Herein,we summarize the work on the seed-assisted synthesis of AlPO/SAPO molecular sieves compared with the zeolite synthetic system,aiming to prompt the synthesis and application of AlPO/SAPO molecular sieves.
