The XRD, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and TEM studies indicate that the composite has a hexagonal framework structure and an average pore diameter of 2. 6 nm. The TG/DTA spectra indicate that the decomposition and the removal of the occluded surfactant of the sample take place in a range of 230-550 ℃. The mesoporous Al-Mg composite oxide exhibites a highly catalytic activity for the oxyethylation of fatty alcohols. Narrow-range distributed ethoxylates are formed in the presence of the mesoporous Al-Mg composite oxide catalyst. The distribution selectivity coefficient(Cx) is 24 when the mesoporous Al-Mg composite oxide was used as a catalyst for the oxyethylation of octanol and the average adduct degree of ethoxylates is 6. 4.展开更多

The key features of this method are a very rapid mixing and nucleation process followed by a separate aging process. By calcination of LDH at 500癈, mesoporous Mg-AI composite oxides with an extremely narrow pore size distribution were produced. The crystal structure of the Mg-AI composite oxides was a multiphasic one consisting of MgO-like crystals and a layered material.展开更多

The characterization results indicated that the CeO2-MnOx catalysts exhibited flower-like microspheres with high specific surface areas, and partial Mn cations could be incorporated into CeO2 lattice to form solid solution. The CeO2-MnOx catalysts showed better catalytic activity for CO oxidation than that prepared by the coprecipitation method. Furthermore, the CeO2-MnOx catalyst with Mn/Ce molar ratio of 1 in the synthesis gel (Ce-Mn-1) exhibited the best catalytic activity, over which the conversion of CO could achieve 90% at 135 ℃. This was ascribed to presence of more Mn species with higher oxida- tion state on the surface and the better reducibility over the Ce-Mn-I catalyst than other CeO2-MnOx catalysts.展开更多

The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The effects of ZnO content and thermal treatment on the existing form of ZnO as well as phase transformation were investigated. ZnO exists stably in the form of non-crystalline phase or cluster when crystallite size is small. With increasing ZnO content, as the size of ZnO reaches a critical size of crystalline phase, the non-crystalline ZnO or cluster transforms structurally to crystalline ZnO with low energy state. Besides, Zn2Si04 was obtained by solid-state reaction between ZnO and rnesoporous silica. The mesoporous silica acts as not only a reactant but also a diffusion barrier which inhibits the phase transformation from ^-Zn2Si04 to ^-Zn2Si04. The formation temperature of Zn2Si04 is lower than that of conventional solid-state reaction because of the unique structure of mesoporous silica.展开更多

In this study, TEOS and aluminum isopropylate were used as silicon resource and aluminum resource, respectively. As an additive, PEG-20000 was added into the inorganic precursors. TEM and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms indicate the presence of mesopores with uniform pore size in the shell wall. The diameter, shell thickness and hollow structure property of the spheres were characterized by transmission polarized light microscopy and SEM. ()27Al MAS NMR spectrum shows that the coordinated number of the aluminum species is four. The influences on special morphology under different oil phase and reaction temperature were also investigated. The hollow spheres exhibit high thermal stability and can remain their intact spherical structures even after calcination at 550 ℃ for 6 h. This strategy can be extended to synthesize hollow spheres of other binary composite oxide with mesopores.展开更多
