Templated synthesis of crystalline mesoporous CeO2 with organosilane-containing polymers: balancing porosity, crystallinity and catalytic activity[J]. Materials Futures, 2022, 1(2): 025302. doi: 10.1088/2752-5724/ac7605 |
We report the synthesis of ordered mesoporous ceria (mCeO2) with highly crystallinity and thermal stability using hybrid polymer templates consisting of organosilanes. Those organosilane-containing polymers can convert into silica-like nanostructures that further serve as thermally stable and mechanically strong templates to prevent the collapse of mesoporous frameworks during thermal-induced crystallization. Using a simple evaporation-induced self-assembly process, control of the interaction between templates and metal precursors allows the co-self-assembly of polymer micelles and Ce3+ ions to form uniform porous structures. The porosity is well-retained after calcination up to 900◦C. After the thermal engineering at 700 ◦C for 12 h (mCeO2-700-12 h), mCeO2 still has a specific surface area of 96 m2 g-1 with a pore size of 14 nm. mCeO2 is demonstrated to be active for electrochemical oxidation of sulfite. mCeO2-700-12 h with a perfect balance of crystallinity and porosity shows the fastest intrinsic activity that is about 84 times more active than bulk CeO2 and 5 times more active than mCeO2 that has a lower crystallinity.
