Abstract

Various metal ions (transition and base metals) incorporated MCM-41 catalysts can be synthesized using colloidal and soluble silica with non-sodium involved process. Transition metal ion-typically $V^{5+}$, $Co^{2+}$, and $Ni^{2+}$-incorporated MCM-41 catalysts were synthesized by isomorphous substitution of Si ions in the framework. Each incorporated metal ion created a single species in the silica framework, single-site solid catalyst, showing a substantial stability in reduction and catalytic activity. Radius of pore curvature effect was investigated with Co-MCM-41 by temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The size of metallic Co clusters, sub-nanometer, could be controlled by a proper reduction treatment of Co-MCM-41 having different pore size and the initial pH adjustment of the Co-MCM-41 synthesis solution. These small metallic clusters showed a high stability under a harsh reaction condition without serious migration, resulting from a direct anchoring of small metallic clusters to the partially or unreduced metal ions on the surface. After a complete reduction, partial occlusion of the metallic cluster surface by amorphous silica stabilized the particles against aggregations. As a probe reaction of particle size sensitivity, carbon single wall nanotubes (SWNT) were synthesized using Co-MCM-41. A metallic cluster stability test was performed by CO methanation using Co- and Ni-MCM-41. Methanol and methane partial oxidations were carried out with V-MCM-41, and the radius of pore curvature effect on the catalytic activity was investigated.

콜로이드 실리카와 가용성 실리카를 이용하여 나트륨이 첨가되지 않은 다양한 금속이온 첨가 MCM-41 촉매를 제조하였다. 전이금속 이온인 $V^{5+}$, $Co^{2+}$ 및 $Ni^{2+}$이 MCM-41에 첨가되었을 경우 기공벽 내의 실리콘 이온과 등방치환을 하여 실리카 기공벽 내에서 독립된 단일 활성점을 형성하여 우수한 환원 및 활성 내구성을 보였다. 수소 승온 환원법을 이용하여 Co-MCM-41 촉매의 기공 곡률 반경효과에 대해 검토해 본 결과, 적절한 환원 처리와 기공 크기 및 pH 조절에 따라 코발트 금속입자의 크기를 1nm 이하의 범위에서 조절할 수 있었으며, 이 미세 금속 입자들은 표면 금속이온들과의 결합으로 인해 상당한 고온 안정성이 있음을 발견하였다. 완전 환원 후에도 비정형 실리카의 부분 덮힘으로 인해 금속 입자들의 표면 이동 및 뭉침 현상이 현저히 저하되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이들 촉매의 반응 예로 금속 입자 크기에 민감한 단일층 탄소 나노튜브의 합성을 Co-MCM-41을 이용하여 실시하였고, 금속 입자의 안정성 시험반응으로 Co 및 Ni-MCM-41을 이용한 CO 메탄화 반응, V-MCM-41을 이용한 메탄올 및 메탄의 부분 산화반응 및 기공곡률 반경이 촉매활성에 미치는 영향 등을 살펴보았다.
