Abstract
We described the comprehensive synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of a novel type of the ordered cubic Ia3̅d supermicroporous silicas by using tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silicon source and a hydroxyl-functionalized quaternary ammonium salt as a template under alkali conditions. The effects of various reaction conditions on the pore structure and morphology of the silica materials were thoroughly investigated. Our results showed that under a wide range of reaction conditions, supermicroporous silicas with a highly ordered cubic Ia3̅d structure can be produced with a large BET specific surface area of 1741 m2/g, high pore volume of 0.91 cm3/g, concentrated pore size at 19.1 Å, and crystalline morphology. After Al doping, the obtained aluminosilicates preserved a highly ordered cubic supermicroporous structure. By using the H-form aluminosilicates as catalysts, we selectively dimerized β-pinene. The catalysts exhibited an excellent catalytic activity for β-pinene dimerization with a conversion yield up to 100%. Compared with conventional mesoporous H-form Al-MCM-48 catalysts, the prepared supermicroporous catalysts exhibited superior catalytic performance due to their excellent shape-selective properties, producing the β-pinene dimer in a yield up to 72.4% with dimer/oligomer ratios in the range of 7.5–10.1. This study featured a detailed preparation and characterization of supermicroporous silica with novel microstructures and showed its utility in catalytic dimerization.Keywords
