MFI Titanosilicate Nanosheets with Single-Unit-Cell Thickness as an Oxidation Catalyst Using Peroxides
journal contribution
posted on 2011-08-05, 00:00 authored by Kyungsu Na, Changbum Jo, Jaeheon Kim, Wha-Seung Ahn, Ryong RyooTitanosilicate MFI (a three-letter structural code among ∼200 zeolite framework codes) nanosheets of single-unit-cell thickness were synthesized with a diquaternary ammonium surfactant as the zeolite structure-directing agent, that is, C16H33–N+(CH3)2–C6H12–N+(CH3)2–C6H13. The resultant titanosilicate nanosheet possessed a large intersheet mesopore volume with high surface area due to the nanomorphic crystalline architecture as well as the isomorphically incorporated titanium species. Thus, it exhibited notable catalytic activities with high epoxide selectivity for bulky molecular epoxidation reactions using H2O2 or t-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. In addition, the catalytic performance could be enhanced via postsynthetic fluoride treatment with NH4F that can reduce the surface silanol groups and, hence, increase the surface hydrophobicity.
