Abstract Details

2010, MS, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Chemistry.
Soft-templating synthesis of mesoporous carbons in the presence of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and metal salts was carried out to introduce nickel and separately silver nanoparticles and also create additional microporosity in these materials. This strategy was employed to synthesize phenolic resin-based mesoporous carbons with two different loadings of metallic nanoparticles and to obtain nickel-containing mesoporous carbon-silica hybrids and silver-containing mesoporous carbons. Removal of silica with NaOH solution from the hybrid nickel composites gave mesoporous carbons with Ni particles and comparatively removal of silica from mesorporous carbons with silver gave mesoporous carbons with Ag particles. Inversely, burn off of carbon from the aforementioned Ni hybrid composites gave NiO-containing mesoporous silicas. Nitrogen adsorption, small and wide angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis showed good adsorption and structural properties of the aforementioned materials.
