Silica-Based, Cubic Mesostructures: Synthesis, Characterization and Relevance for Catalysis
We review the formation mechanism, synthetic history and catalytic applications of the cubic phases of mesoporous silica. MCM-48 and SBA-1, analogous to surfactant lyotropic liquid crystal phases, possess a three-dimensional pore array, a 15-30 pore aperture and a narrow pore size distribution. Evid...

Zusammenfassung: | We review the formation mechanism, synthetic history and catalytic applications of the cubic phases of mesoporous silica. MCM-48 and SBA-1, analogous to surfactant lyotropic liquid crystal phases, possess a three-dimensional pore array, a 15-30 pore aperture and a narrow pore size distribution. Evidence for intermediate range order within the silicate walls based on PAS-FTIR spectra will be discussed. Isomorphic heteroatom substitution of aluminum and a number of transition metals has been achieved by both hydrothermal and post-synthetic methods in order to modify the surface activity of these materials. Modified materials containing fully oxidized, early transition metals were found to be catalytically active for photocatalytic reduction of CO^sub 2^ with water as well as peroxidative oxidation and halogenation of large organic substrates.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
