Hierarchical aluminum-silicon materials have been successfully prepared by mixing pre-crystallization of silica-alumina sol and citric acid under hydrothermal conditions. The influence of pre-crystallization time on the micro-mesoporous structure is studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), N2 physical adsorption, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The catalytic performance of hierarchical silica-alumina material is evaluated by alkylation of phenol with tert-butanol. The results show that the silica-alumina materials with a pre-crystallization time of 16 h show micro-mesoporous structure and excellent catalytic activity.

Highly porous silica ceramics were prepared by in-situ gelation of an aqueous suspension with well dispersed silica particles and N’N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) monomer, followed by lyophilization and pressureless sintering. The gelcasting process was imparted by polymerization of DMAA. The silica raw materials used in this experiment are the dusts collected from the exhaust fumes of silicon industry. The as-obtained porous silica ceramics had three-dimensional and hierarchical pore structure and the porosity ranged from 75 to 88 % as the sintering temperature varied from 850 to 1050 °C. In addition, the porous silica ceramics appeared to have strong mechanical strength. Compressive strength of the porous silica ceramics was as high as 3.2 MPa even when the porosity was nearly 80%. The gelcasting-lyophilization method was proved to be a novel and promising route for the preparation of highly porous and mechanically strong materials.

New catalysts based on Pd(0) nanoparticles (Pd NPs) on a bimodal porous silica of the UVM-7/polydopamine (PDA) support have been synthesized following two preparative strategies based on the sequential or joint incorporation of two components of the composite (Pd and PDA). We analyzed the role played by the PDA as ‘interfacial glue’ between the silica scaffold and the Pd NPs. The catalysts were tested for the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol using (NEt4)BH4 as the hydrogenating agent. In addition to the palladium content, the characterization of the catalysts at the micro and nanoscale has highlighted the importance of different parameters, such as the size and dispersion of the Pd NPs, as well as their accessibility to the substrate (greater or lesser depending on their entrapment level in the PDA) on the catalytic efficiency. Staged sequential synthesis has led to better catalytic results. The most active Pd(0) centers seem to be Pd NPs of less than 1 nm on the PDA surface. The efficiency of the catalysts obtained is superior to that of similar materials without PDA. A comprehensive comparison has been made with other catalysts based on Pd NPs in a wide variety of supports. The TOF values achieved are among the best described in the literature.
