  • Publication number: 20220355282
    Abstract: The composite according to the present invention comprises: a mesoporous inorganic support having vacancy defects; and metal alloy nanoparticles dispersed in and bound to the mesoporous inorganic support and containing a precious metal element and an earth rare element. The composite according to the present invention has a very high specific surface area since the alloy is dispersed and present in the form of ultrafine nanoparticles in the porous support, and thus can show remarkably improved activity when used as a material for a chemical reaction, including a catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20130184147
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel zeolite or zeolite-like material synthesized using a zeolite synthesis composition comprising a specifically designed organic surfactant, wherein the zeolite or zeolite-like material comprises a crystalline framework having a thickness corresponding to up to 10 single unit cells along at least one axis, and 2-50 nm mesopores formed by organic assembly of the crystalline framework are regularly or irregularly arranged in the zeolite or zeolite-like material. In addition, the present invention presents a micro-mesoporous molecular sieve material activated or functionalized by dealumination, ion exchange or other post-treatment processes, and a method of using the molecular sieve material as a catalyst. The disclosed novel materials have a significantly increased outer surface area and pore volume due to a combination of micropores and mesopores, and thus show an increased diffusion of molecules therein.

  • Publication number: 20120165558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to microporous molecular sieve materials and their analogue molecular sieve materials having a crystalline unilamellar or multilamellar framework with a single unit cell thickness in which layers are aligned regularly or randomly, the molecular sieve materials being synthesized by adding an organic surfactant to the synthesis composition of zeolite. In addition, the present invention relates to micro-mesoporous molecular sieve materials activated or functionalized by dealumination, ion exchange or other post treatments, and the use thereof as catalyst. These novel materials have dramatically increased external surface area by virtue of their framework with nano-scale thickness, and thus exhibit improved molecular diffusion, and thus have much higher activities as catalyst and ion exchange resin than conventional zeolites.

  • Patent number: 5958368
    Abstract: Noncrystalline mesoporous molecular sieve substances are prepared using alkyltrimethylammonium halide as a surfactant in combination with water-soluble organic or inorganic salts capable of binding to a monovalent cation. The sieve substances are superior to the M41S series in thermal stability and hydrothermal stability. The sieve substances are structurized in such a manner that channels uniform in diameter are randomly arranged interconnecting with one another in a three-dimensional way so as to allow reactants to readily diffuse therein.
