Basic concepts and preparation methods of low-density sponge catalyst SMP
The low-density sponge catalyst SMP is a catalyst support with a three-dimensional porous structure, usually composed of metal oxides, carbon materials or other functional materials. SMP is unique in its spongy microstructure, which not only provides a large number of active sites, but also imparts good mass and heat transfer properties to the catalyst, thereby improving catalytic efficiency. In addition, the low density characteristics of SMP make it lightweight in practical applications, and are particularly suitable for use in mobile devices or where there are strict weight requirements.
1. Definition and classification of SMP
SMP can be divided into the following categories according to the composition and structural characteristics of the material:
-
Metal oxide-based SMP: such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂), alumina (Al₂O₃), zirconium oxide (ZrO₂), etc. This type of SMP has high thermal stability and chemical inertia, and is widely used in photocatalysis, gas phase catalysis and other fields.
-
Carbon-based SMP: such as activated carbon, graphene, carbon nanotubes, etc. Carbon-based SMP has excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, and is suitable for electrocatalysis, fuel cells and other fields.
-
Composite SMP: Compound metal oxides with carbon materials or other functional materials to form a catalyst support with multiple characteristics. For example, TiO₂/carbon composite SMP performs in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutantsThere is a significant synergistic effect.
2. Method of preparation of SMP
SMP preparation methods vary, and common preparation techniques include sol-gel method, template method, freeze-drying method, foaming method, etc. The following are several typical preparation methods and their characteristics:
| Preparation method | Features | Scope of application |
|---|---|---|
| Sol-gel method | The gel is formed by hydrolysis and condensation reaction of the precursor solution, and then dried and sintered to obtain a porous structure. This method is easy to control pore size and porosity, but the preparation process is relatively complicated. | Suitable for the preparation of metal oxide-based SMPs, such as TiO₂, Al₂O₃, etc. |
| Template Method | Use hard templates or soft templates to build a porous structure, and then remove the template to obtain the target material. This method can prepare SMP with regular channel structure, but the selection and removal process of templates are more critical. | Suitable for the preparation of SMPs with specific pore sizes and pore structures, such as mesoporous materials. |
| Free-drying method | The solution containing the precursor is rapidly frozen, and the solvent is removed by sublimation to obtain a porous structure. This method can retain the microstructure in the solution and is suitable for the preparation of SMP with high specific surface area. | Suitable for the preparation of high porosity SMPs, such as activated carbon, graphene, etc. |
| Foaming method | The precursor solution is expanded by introducing gas or foaming agent to form a foamy structure, and then curing and drying to obtain SMP. This method is simple and easy to implement, but the aperture distribution is difficult to control. | Suitable for the preparation of SMPs with macroporous structures, such as polyurethane foam-based catalysts. |
3. SMP product parameters
To better understand the performance of SMP, the following are typical parameters of several common SMP products:
| Material Type | Density (g/cm³) | Pore size (nm) | Specific surface area (m²/g) | Thermal Stability (℃) | Chemical stability (pH range) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TiO₂-based SMP | 0.5-1.0 | 5-50 | 50-200 | >800 | 2-12 |
| Al₂O₃Basic SMP | 0.6-1.2 | 10-100 | 100-300 | >1000 | 3-10 |
| Carbon-based SMP | 0.1-0.5 | 2-100 | 500-1500 | >600 | 1-14 |
| Composite SMP (TiO₂/carbon) | 0.3-0.8 | 5-50 | 200-500 | >800 | 2-12 |
Physical and chemical properties of SMP
The physical and chemical properties of SMP are key factors that determine its durability and stability in extreme environments. This section will discuss the characteristics of SMP in detail from the aspects of microstructure, pore size distribution, specific surface area, thermal stability, chemical stability, etc., and analyze it in combination with relevant literature.
1. Microstructure
The microstructure of SMP has an important influence on its catalytic performance. Observing through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), SMP exhibits a typical sponge-like porous structure with pores connected to each other, forming a rich three-dimensional network. This structure not only increases the specific surface area of the catalyst, but also promotes the diffusion of reactants and products, thereby improving catalytic efficiency.
Study shows that the pore size distribution of SMP has a significant impact on its catalytic performance. Smaller pore sizes help improve the specific surface area, but may lead to an increase in mass transfer resistance; larger pore sizes help improve mass transfer performance, but will reduce the specific surface area. Therefore, optimizing the pore size distribution is the key to improving SMP catalytic performance. According to literature reports, the ideal SMP pore size should be between 10-100 nm to balance the specific surface area and mass transfer properties.
2. Pore size distribution and specific surface area
The pore size distribution and specific surface area of SMP are important indicators for evaluating its physical properties. Through the nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiment (BET method), the pore size distribution and specific surface area of SMP can be accurately determined. Table 1 summarizes the pore size distribution and specific surface area data of several common SMP materials.
| Material Type | Average pore size (nm) | Pore size distribution range (nm) | Specific surface area (m²/g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| TiO₂-based SMP | 20 | 5-50 | 150 |
| Al₂O₃Basic SMP | 50 | 10-100 | 250 |
| Carbon-based SMP | 50 | 2-100 | 1000 |
| Composite SMP (TiO₂/carbon) | 30 | 5-50 | 300 |
As can be seen from Table 1, carbon-based SMP has a high specific surface area, which is due to its developed micropore structure. Complex SMP achieves a high specific surface area and good mass transfer performance by optimizing the pore size distribution, and is suitable for a variety of catalytic reactions.
3. Thermal Stability
Thermal stability of SMP refers to its ability to maintain structural integrity and catalytic activity under high temperature conditions. Studies have shown that the thermal stability of SMP is closely related to its material composition. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have high thermal stability and can maintain good structural and catalytic properties at high temperatures of 800-1000°C. For example, after TiO₂-based SMP is calcined at 900°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and porosity, showing excellent thermal stability.
In contrast, carbon-based SMP has poor thermal stability, especially in oxygen atmosphere, which is prone to oxidation and decomposition. To improve the thermal stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use doping or composite methods. For example, combining TiO₂ with carbon material can effectively inhibit the oxidation of carbon material and improve the overall thermal stability of SMP. According to literature reports, after TiO₂/carbon composite SMP is calcined in air at 600°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity.
4. Chemical Stability
The chemical stability of SMP refers to its ability to maintain structural integrity and catalytic activity in harsh chemical environments such as acid and alkali, corrosive gases. Studies have shown that the chemical stability of SMP is closely related to its material composition and surface properties. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have good chemical stability and can maintain structural stability over a wide pH range. For example, Al₂O₃-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the pH range of 3-10 and is suitable for acidicityor catalytic reaction under alkaline conditions.
However, carbon-based SMP is prone to dissolution or corrosion under strong acid or alkali conditions, especially when the surface contains more oxygen-containing functional groups. To improve the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use surface modification or doping methods. For example, by introducing nitrogen or sulfur, the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP can be effectively improved, so that it maintains good catalytic performance in a wider pH range. According to literature reports, nitrogen-doped carbon-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the range of pH 1-14 and is suitable for catalytic reactions under extreme acid and base conditions.
Durability and stability of SMP in extreme environments
The durability and stability of SMP in extreme environments are key issues in its practical application. This section will focus on the behavior of SMP under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, strong acid and alkali, corrosive gases and their influencing factors, and analyze it in combination with relevant literature.
1. Durability and stability in high temperature environments
High temperature environment has an important influence on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP under high temperature conditions mainly depend on its material composition and pore structure. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have high thermal stability and can maintain good structural and catalytic properties at high temperatures of 800-1000°C. For example, after TiO₂-based SMP is calcined at 900°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and porosity, showing excellent thermal stability.
However, the thermal stability of carbon-based SMP is poor, especially in oxygen atmospheres, oxidative decomposition is prone to occur. To improve the thermal stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use doping or composite methods. For example, combining TiO₂ with carbon material can effectively inhibit the oxidation of carbon material and improve the overall thermal stability of SMP. According to literature reports, after TiO₂/carbon composite SMP is calcined in air at 600°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity.
In addition, high temperature environments may also cause SMP sintering, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To prevent sintering, researchers usually use methods of adding additives or optimizing the preparation process. For example, by introducing additives such as silicates or phosphates, SMP can be effectively inhibited and its durability and stability in high temperature environments can be improved.
2. Durability and stability in high-voltage environments
High voltage environment also has an important impact on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP under high pressure conditions mainly depend on its pore structure and mechanical strength. Since SMP has a lower density and high porosity, it is prone to compression deformation under high pressure conditions, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To improve the durability and stability of SMP in high-pressure environments, researchers usually use the method of enhancing the thickness of the hole wall or introducing a support structureLaw.
For example, by introducing nanoscale support particles, the mechanical strength of SMP can be effectively improved and the compression deformation of it can be prevented under high pressure conditions. According to literature reports, SMP added with nanosilicon dioxide particles can maintain a high porosity and specific surface area under a pressure of 10 MPa, showing excellent pressure resistance. In addition, by optimizing the pore structure of SMP, such as increasing the proportion of large pores or introducing interconnected pores, its durability and stability in high-pressure environments can also be effectively improved.
3. Durability and stability in strong acid and alkali environments
The strong acid and alkali environment has an important influence on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP in a strong acid-base environment mainly depends on its material composition and surface properties. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have good chemical stability and can maintain structural stability over a wide pH range. For example, Al₂O₃-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the pH range of 3-10 and is suitable for catalytic reactions under acidic or alkaline conditions.
However, carbon-based SMP is prone to dissolution or corrosion under strong acid or alkali conditions, especially when the surface contains more oxygen-containing functional groups. To improve the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use surface modification or doping methods. For example, by introducing nitrogen or sulfur, the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP can be effectively improved, so that it maintains good catalytic performance in a wider pH range. According to literature reports, nitrogen-doped carbon-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the range of pH 1-14 and is suitable for catalytic reactions under extreme acid and base conditions.
In addition, strong acid and alkali environments may also trigger structural changes in SMP, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To prevent structural changes, researchers often use methods that optimize material composition or introduce protective layers. For example, by introducing protective layers such as alumina or silica, SMP can be effectively prevented from dissolution or corrosion in a strong acid-base environment, and its durability and stability can be improved.
4. Durability and stability in corrosive gas environment
The corrosive gas environment has an important influence on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP in corrosive gas environments mainly depend on its material composition and surface properties. Metal oxide-based SMP usually has good corrosion resistance and can maintain structural stability in an environment containing corrosive gases such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulfur dioxide (SO₂). For example, after exposure to HCl-containing gas for 24 hours, TiO₂-based SMP can maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity, showing excellent corrosion resistance.
However, carbon-based SMP is prone to oxidation or corrosion in corrosive gas environments, especially when the surface contains more oxygen-containing functional groups. To improve the corrosion resistance of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use surface modified or dopedmethod. For example, by introducing nitrogen or sulfur, the corrosion resistance of carbon-based SMP can be effectively improved, so that it maintains good catalytic performance in an environment containing corrosive gases such as HCl and SO₂. According to literature reports, nitrogen-doped carbon-based SMP can maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity after being exposed to HCl-containing gas for 72 hours, showing excellent corrosion resistance.
In addition, corrosive gas environment may also cause structural changes in SMP, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To prevent structural changes, researchers often use methods that optimize material composition or introduce protective layers. For example, by introducing protective layers such as alumina or silica, it is possible to effectively prevent SMP from oxidizing or corrosion in a corrosive gas environment, and improve its durability and stability.
